The Chosen

This makes it look like Jesus is a speaker. This is sacrilegious. The Chosen is not good.

This is IDOLATRY. No one is claiming a show is taking "the place of, or supersedes Scripture." The Chosen is just entertainment, Christian entertainment, and there is nothing wrong with being enriched by amusement from time to time. My wife likes to sing even though the songs are not in the Bible.

Lighten up while you still can.

This church age has done that . OH lighten up it cries . THEN wonders how on earth evil took over .
THE BUCK end here and the trainride of judge not correct SHALL be halted on my watch .
And if you think the chosen is in any way being enriched or enrichement entertainement
Well lets just say it depresses me to even glance at it .
YET when i open and the bible , GOTTA SAY I AM VERY ENRICHED IN THEM WORDS and BY SUCH WORDS .
As i said one cannot love the mix and the TRUTH for they will cling to the one and hate the other .

Beauty cometh and is quickly gone
and as the green grass does shoot up and its flower does appear , HOW quickly it shall fade .
BUT THE BEAUTY of THE LORD , OF HIS WORD , OF HIS TRUTH shall never fade .
But shall swell up to a wellspring of life UNTO ALL WHO DO BELEIVE IN the CHRIST JESUS OF GOD . .
in this life itself we see a witness . For youth soon vanishes , the beauty of every season of the field does fade
And man goes from youth to age . BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD SHALL ENDURE FOREVER
as will ALL whose hopes and faith BE IN HE WHOM GOD DID SEND CHRIST JESUS . WE shall live FOREVER
in new glorified bodies that shall never age or fade . FREE forever WITH HE who has saved us .
Now on those feet , dance a jig of thunderous praises unto the LORD . FOR he or she whose HOPE be IN HIM
THEY HAVE ALL HOPE . praise the LORD .

 

[amigo de christo]

Blessed be the man in whose HOPE BE THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST .
but cursed is the man who fol lows ecumiencal intefaith for it shall all end ON HIS DAY with the lie and those who made and lo ved a lie .

 

[amigo de christo]

TO the trenches one and all and whatever ye do heed not the cup of love of a harlots call .
Let us be faithful unto CHRIST JESUS to the very end .

What I found disturbing was the way that images from the show would start playing in my head when I read certain stories in the Bible. In some places, the show had taken over my imaginative response to the written word. My ability to meditate on the stories and form my own ideas had been seriously compromised. Indeed, the strong emotions I experienced in connection to the way ‘The Chosen’ interpreted them made part of me not even want to.

I’m sure it’s obvious that that presents a serious problem. Our response to Jesus should come most dominantly from reading his Word—since that’s the only completely trustworthy place we can go to find the true Jesus. So when I realised the propensity for my heart to be more strongly influenced by ‘The Chosen’ than Scripture, I had to make the decision to leave off watching it. The temptation was just too strong to dabble with.

I have been watching the Chosen series and I think the Last Supper from the most recent series is most relevant this Easter.

I don't mind the way they have made this series of Christs ministry and so far up to the last supper and His arrest. Season 6 comes out in November and I am looking forward to seeing it. Very real and brings to life Christs crucifixtion and resurrection.

Season 6 - The Chosen TV Series

Another series I was watching on Prime was 'The House of David'. I got up to where David had defeated Goliath. But I have not renewed the subscription as I got bored with it.

I like these independent and crowd funded series and movies as they cover stories the mainstream would not cover. I am a visual person and having some backdrop and putting some flesh to the stories makes them come alive.

I also like the 'Bible Expidition' series as they bring real places in the bible to life on the ground. You can imagine how it was back in those times.

Hello Stevesonthebay, how are you all? We have viewed the video: "The Complete Last Supper-The Chosen," and we are still studying when Yeshua said: "Take My Yoke Upon You And Learn Of Me." Is To Us The Only Way To Live, As He Has Said, To His Father's Kingdom. Because Of What The Scriptures reveal, rightly divided unto Him Day And Night. To follow His Steps: Submission In Business: verses 18-25. 1Peter 2
1 Peter 2:18–25 (KJV)
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls Bible Gateway+1.
This passage calls servants to submit to their masters—whether good or harsh—with reverence, and frames patience in suffering as a virtue pleasing to God. It then connects this teaching to Christ’s example: He endured unjust suffering without retaliation, trusting in a righteous judge. The verse about “by whose stripes ye were healed” alludes to the healing power of Christ’s sacrifice, and the final verse pictures believers as sheep who have been led back to the Shepherd and Bishop of their souls.

Take My yoke Upon You, And Learn Of Me; For I am Meek And Lowly In Heart: And Ye Shall Find Rest Unto Your Souls.

The many unbiblical fictions, unseemly additions, and false portrayals of Christ in The Chosen do not bother you at all?

I would hope that the written gospels alone could be vivid to us, and not need irreverent film presentations to enhance the events in our minds.

No more than some movie about any history that will also take some poetic licence. I guess it depends on the individual. But I know enough about the truth of the bible to tell the difference and not allow it to put my faith in doubt.

But then you could say that if a non Christian saw it and it sparked their interest and they then came to know the truth. Then this would be good. So I guess its a matter of how one sees things.

Most of what is given to artistic licence seems to be the silent periods between events in the bible. How people interacted and lived and their characteristics and personality. If your going to make such a story then you would have to flesh out those aspects.

Jesus had a personality and a sense of humor. So if He is going to be depcied then how can this be done.

I would hope that these kinds of shows spark some interest from non Christians. I know Hollywood hates them so that is good I think lol. Anything they detest as bad I think must be getting at the truth.

 

[Wrangler]

It doesn't bother me at all since it is a fictional story and the creators encourage people to read the Gospels to learn about the real Jesus. One thing our culture gets wrong that the ancients understood is that just because something is fiction does not mean it is false.

Most portrayals of Jesus are of him being above it all, vaguely aware of the angst and suffering people endure beyond intellectual understanding. Modern portrayals show a much more compassionate side of Christ. One verse, "Jesus wept."

In the show, there is a great subplot of the relationship between the tax collector and the fisherman whose life was nearly ruined by taxes. In keeping with Scripture, at long last Matthew came to Jesus. Matthew excused his role as theoretical. Gently, the fictional Jesus in the show corrected him. No, Peter is personally hurt by what you did in practice, not theoretically.

This caused Matthew to see events in a new light, repent and he had the courage to ask Peter for forgiveness. Peter's response is one of the most emotionally powerful scenes in the Chosen saga. For some reason, you want to unduly focus on the portrayal of Jesus when the whole show is centered around who he chose. See the title of the show.

So I guess its a matter of how one sees things.

To put this sentiment in metaphor, the show is a mirror.

 

[Wrangler]

You'd need to point me to what you're referencing with 2 and 3

#2. Was Solomon’s temple re-built in 3 days? John 2

14 In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money. 15 Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple ...“Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!” ... 18 But the Jewish leaders demanded, “What are you doing? If God gave you authority to do this, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.” 19 “All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”​

​

20 “What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?” 21 But when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body.​

ANALYSIS:
The key to a lie is deception. Approximately 400 times in Scripture, "this temple" refers to Solomons's temple. The narrator knows this is how Jesus' audience interprets "this temple," which is why he added v21, which helps the reader - not the audience listening to Jesus words. No where in the text does Jesus mean what he says and says what he means in defining "this temple" to be an exception in this context of something other than Solomons's temple.

It's like lying to your wife that you'll be home by 9 PM from drinking with the boys but then tell the boys you meant a time zone 6 hours behind making your wife have no right to being angry when you stroll in the door at 3 AM, adamantly claiming that from that other "perspective" only the truth was told to her.

No, Solomon's temple was not rebuilt in 3 days. Saying so, implying so is a lie. Plain and simple.


#3 Is cannibalism approved by God in the OT? John 6

47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”​

​

53unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. 54 But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life ... 61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you? ... 66 At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him.* 67 Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?”​

ANALYSIS
'This bread is my flesh,' eliminates the possibility that Jesus is speaking metaphorically. The bread is the metaphor defined by Jesus as literally meaning his flesh. And he emphatically says to eat it over and over again. (He doesn't say this bread is my spirit.) The audience properly interprets Jesus words as advocating for cannibalism, which is not a blessing but a curse according to God. Click here. Just like the question of whether the girl is sleeping or dead, is Jesus talking about:

X. bread​

Y. flesh​

Z. something else (like spirit or substitutionary sacrifice of life-for-life)?​

If he's talking about something else, why does he keep talking about bread and flesh knowing his audience is reacting to his curse, which eating flesh is? Deception, which profoundly violates 2 Cor 1:13 (VOICE) We are not writing to you in anything resembling codes or riddles. The intent to deceive is so extreme, even to the point that his own disciples walk away from him! No Christian apologist in their right mind would adhere to deceptive language to the point of having, not only unbelievers walk away, but even fellow Christ followers. Come on now!

Knowing someone is deceived by what you said (emphatically and repeatedly) and you choose to let them remain deceived by your words rather than kindly speak the plain, simple truth falls short of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

* IMO, this (John 6:66)is the saddest verse in all of Scripture.

Did you see my clarification?

 

[Janie23]

Did you see my clarification?

Yes, I did. It's given me much food for thought. I need to let it ferment.

 

[Anchorite]

Yes, I did. It's given me much food for thought. I need to let it ferment.

The food for thought you need to let ferment is that Jesus Christ never lied or sinned in any way. To claim that Jesus was deceptive, where do you think such blasphemy has its origin?

2 Corinthians 5:20,21

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
