“What does God think about it?” That’s an excellent question. How would a fan of The Chosen answer it? I think a fan would probably say that God loves it. Once people fall in love with something it’s hard for them to let it go. The tricky thing about the “What does God think about it?”...

An appeal has been made to popularity. Popularity isn’t the right measuring tool. The world loves a lie and hates the truth. The truth is not popular in the present evil age. Equating popularity with the truth should, at the very least, cause us to raise an eyebrow. But a television program...

You‘re greatly mistaken. What I want is the true Jesus to be presented, not a fictionalized / mythological Jesus. What I want has not been done to death. What I want is what people truly need.

By combining history with fiction they can rewrite Jesus’ past in a way that pleases the audience. This process creates a mythical Jesus that never really existed. And still the fanatic cannot see the danger. That doesn’t relieve me of what God calls me to do, even though it angers the fanatic...

Who wants us to look at a fictionalized Jesus? Is it God? Is it Jesus? Is it the devil? Who wants us to look at the real Jesus? Is it God? Is it Jesus? Is it the devil?

There is glorying and there is degrading in art. The Chosen is degrading art. I doubt that but I’ll continue with or without you.

You’ve closed your eyes shut. The case has been presented many times.

You say it’s a non-issue. I say that it is an issue. You’re toying with Jesus. The more that we’ve talked the more I’ve seen how dangerous it is to present a fictionalized Jesus.

Follow the right example.

Nothing can go wrong with offering a made up Jesus? You’re assuming that art glorifies God. False presentations in art don’t glorify God.

I responded in this thread to someone who doubted the figure is true and that Jenkins acknowledged. That person won’t be the only one who doesn’t know. Hammering home the truth is a problem for you. I’ve been reading and commenting on reviews that praise and reviews that don’t.
