Have you watched The Chosen? If so, does the fictionalized Jesus make you laugh? (One review of the program I read called the character “goofball Jesus”.) I know you read the Bible. Does it make you laugh when you read what Jesus says in scripture?

“I felt like God was saying this [The Chosen] is going to be the definitive portrayal of my people, and this is what people are going to think of around the world when they think of my people, and I’m [God] not going to let you screw it up.” (Dallas Jenkins, in a 2021 interview)...

“Dallas Jenkins is clear that he is not a pastor, The Chosen is not the Church, and the story the series is telling is not the Bible. Fair enough. But whether he recognizes it or not, his celebrity status among Christians places a burden on his shoulders. Fans will pay close attention to what he...

I finally tracked the quote down. It is true. https://www.christianpost.com/news/the-chosen-dallas-jenkins-on-making-quality-faith-based-content.html Does that change anything for you?

The following review from Dove.org is for Season 1 only. “Some cautionary elements of the series include violence involving fighting, swords and other situations. Additional elements include lying, deception, greed, and demonic possession. Due to these cautionary elements, the series earns our...

Thank you for this contribution to the discussion. I have very limited exposure to the program. You’re the first person I‘ve heard say that Season 3 should have MA rating. That raises a red flag. Since you didn’t elaborate, I’m not sure how concerned to be about it. A question I have now for...

Mind your witness.

Are entertainers teachers? Should those who present a fictionalized Jesus in television programs and movies be considered teachers? Do they consider themselves teachers?

You certainly are confused.
