    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    No one offers a feasible Jesus in scripture.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    I am. Offering people a fictionalized Jesus is dangerous. Cautioning others about it brings forth your wrath. A feasible Jesus isn’t the biblical Jesus. As several Christian pastors have pointed out using specific examples, the feasible we have been offered isn’t biblical. The examples they...

    I don’t appeal to majority. That you think I do is remarkable.

    I’ve done so multiple times. You’ve been blind to it.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    Thanks for clarifying. The show is fiction. The show is about a fictional Jesus. Offer the people Jesus, not a fictional Jesus.

    You can choose to be inconsistent. I think being consistent is the better option and offered it to you. You’re a fan. The majority is always right. (Too subtle.)

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    Let us follow the example set for us by Jesus and the apostles. Is that suggestion reasonable or ludicrous? Proposition: Jesus and the apostles fictionalized the Old Testament. It shouldn’t require an army of theologians to persuade us that the proposition is ludicrous.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    What is the attraction of an idol? It satisfies a deep-seated emotional need that isn’t being met. So many of the reviews I’ve read contain the same common theme: the powerful emotional draw of The Chosen. It’s an emotional appeal. But hasn’t Jenkins said that people should read the gospels...

    “Don’t believe me, believe your Bible!” - Herbert W. Armstrong (and a host of other false teachers) “Join us again next week for another exciting program that you won’t want to miss.” - A common ending in The World Tomorrow television program broadcasts You had better be a Berean if you do.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    People are looking for something that they don’t find in the Bible. Someone is always going to be there to gIve them what they’re looking for. ”The words I speak to you are spirit” - Jesus “95% of The Chosen isn’t found in the Bible” - Dallas Jenkins ”Test the spirits” - John “I’ll give the...

    You fare no better with this analogy than you did with the last analogy. I was a ball player. Unlike Chess, I didn’t play ball semi-professionally. You would be slightly better off speaking from what you are - whatever that is. P.S. Gutter fighters always cease the low ground. You would be...

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    I watched a television program last weekend about the mythology of the west created by movie and television Westerns. I think it was on TMC. The West isn’t what Westerns lead us to believe that it was. In a similar vein this college student writes, ”Since the beginning of the American movie...

    And many of them are deceiving themselves, believing they are filling their minds with the Bible and Jesus. “The Chosen is not about the Bible” - @Wrangler That’s advertising for The Chosen that I’m onboard with.

    Then everyone should be happy!

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    I played Chess semi-professionally. You wouldn’t stand a chance against me. I surely hope so. Transparency is essential, not optional.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    I’ll stick with @Wrangler. At least he knows that The Chosen isn’t about the Bible and Jesus. He believes it will direct people to the Bible and Jesus. It might or might not. I believe there is a much better way to do that.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    “The Chosen is not about the Bible.” - @Wrangler Then The Chosen is not about Jesus.
