    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    “We operate from this question: Is this plausible. Whatever we write, if it didn’t come from scripture, is this plausible, culturally, historically? And does it fit within the character Amd intentions of Jesus and in the gospels, even if it’s not directly from them, or even if we don’t know if...

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    It has been asserted multiple times now - as if it were an indisputable fact - that God has called Jenkins (and his team of writers, actors, etc.) to provide this “entertainment.” Jenkins himself thinks so. Is it a fact that this is what God has done?

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    They weren’t his disciples. The implication in your comment is that those today with the credentials you specified and who say they are his disciples aren’t.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    Without getting into a discussion about that which must not be discussed: ”Goofball Jesus” -> “Goofball God” Tune in tonight at (insert time) on (insert media info) for more great entertainment. That gets a hard pass from me.

    Surely those lampooning Jesus would be his enemies, not his disciples.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    I have to say, to his credit, that Jenkins has said in interviews that 95% of The Chosen is not in the Bible. That leaves the viewers of the program with, by his estimate, 5% that is in the Bible. Viewers of the program are filling their minds with fiction. When I read one reviewer of the...

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    The more I dig into The Chosen the more concerned I become about it. I’m hardly the only pastor who is. (See the remarks of pastors I’ve quoted and documented in this thread.) I think more should be. I hope more will be. Should pastors be saying from the pulpit what @Wrangler - who gives it his...

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    Don’t you think the millions of people who think The Chosen is about the Bible should know that it isn’t? I keep posting quotations of Christians who are warning people about The Chosen. Entertainment. The purpose of the Bible isn’t entertainment. Right? The title of what?

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    In order for you to be consistent you must make the same accusations against all who have raised concerns about The Chosen that you make against me. I’ve quoted a great many of people who raised the red flag about The Chosen long before I gave it any thought at all.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    It is fair to say that our take on Jesus’ great personality is very different.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    Being limited by the Bible -> not going beyond what is written. The Chosen is not about the Bible? Millions of people think that it is.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    For me, the Bible’s portrayal of God’s people is the definitive portrayal of God’s people.

    The Chosen - Godly Truth or Dangerous Fiction?

    Does Jesus make you laugh? Personally, I don’t think it should have been done. I commented earlier in the thread that I wouldn’t do it.
