It’s entertainment but it’s more than just entertainment. I’ve spent decades dealing with people who seldom, if ever, read the Bible. They get their theology from movies and television. After viewing, they don’t search the scriptures to see if what they were told is true or not. This is a...

It has apparently escaped your notice that my thread, by design, is addressing a wider issue than one television program.

Thanks for the feedback. I see from it that what I’ve said has gone over your head. I don’t require spoon feeding. I reject your recommendation because it doesn’t address the danger of getting our theology from Hollywood.

Proposition: There is no danger in getting our theology from Hollywood.

Your conclusion is flawed. There are no fear based questions in the OP.

You’re exhibiting the hallmark of the gutter fighter. Is this the way you carry on conversations in person?

You truly have a blind spot. I’ve answered the question, over and over and over again. I both asked and answered questions last night. It is becoming more apparent to me that you are asking to be spoon fed.

I’ve given my reason. Whether or not you find it good isn’t of any great concern to me. You are free to agree or disagree with it. This is a conversation, not an inquisition. My answer is found in everything I‘ve said about the inherent danger of people getting their theology from Hollywood.

That’s right, but it is so.

See my comment from last night in response to the matter of book burning.

You’ve ignored the fact that I’ve commented numerous times that I’m taking a balanced attitude toward Christian movies (and television). Get off my lawn -> stay in your lane. Do what God calls you to do -> except when it frustrates you when I do. Enjoy the entertainment. Gulp it down. Revel...

A balanced approach doesn’t soothe the savages. Tonight’s lesson from the Twilight Zone.

“What is wrong with you?” You’re taking this into the gutter on the express. There is an art to conversation. I learned it. Everyone should have. Internet forums are notoriously bad at it.

My turn to be disappointed. There is no cost to offering viewers a fictionalized Jesus? smh

Surfing around the internet I’ve come across an apt phrase for our discussion: “entertainment theology”. (It’s probably been around for a long time. I didn’t coin the term.) **** A jingle I composed, debuting on this afternoon’s show. “Where do you get your theology from? Your theology from...

Another Christian group taking a balanced approach in response to The Chosen. https://www.gospelmattersblog.com/post/the-chosen-should-christians-watch-it

A.W. Tozer going scorched earth on Christian movies. (A little too scorched, imo. Still, some good points to weigh and consider. Reminds me a lot of Tertullian.) https://www.biblebb.com/files/tozermovie.htm

But it does depict a fictionalized Jesus. Enjoy the entertainment. It comes at a cost.

How far will your conscience allow you to go? Transgender Jesus would be too far for me. You? Homosexual Jesus would be too far for me. You? Bestiality Jesus would be too far for me. You? Aryan Jesus would be too far for me. You? Arian Jesus would be too far for me. You? Gnostic Jesus...

I resemble that remark. Perhaps what gets me off the hook is my balanced position on the issue expressed much earlier in the thread - that it is a matter of conscience for every individual. Just as a person whose conscience allows him / her to accept a fictionalized Jesus is free to speak out...
