Opening weekend Box Office Data shows #2
I don’t believe the data for the #1 spot since the #3 is so far behind #2
I haven’t seen but now I won’t watch it after what I learned
Morgana has a good thread on it some time back
Isn’t one of the main actors gay??
What did you learn?
I’ve never understood why someone would make a statement like you just did. Just drop a hint of something and then not bother to explain, and what? Wait for everyone to beg you to tell them? Isn’t that an ego trip? What is the point of even saying this? You feel the need to inform us all that YOU won’t watch it based on what you are making out to be some reason we should all have to dig for or beg for?
apparently Morgana posted an article about Dallas Jenkins saying mormons are christians and the like.
I have gone back and forth in my mind about watching the Chosen, I mostly watch because my elderly dad enjoys it - we get the dvd and he can see the subtitles since his hearing is real bad. It;’s a little together time with him and repairing our mostly rocky relationship over the decades.
I choose to see The Chosen as any other bible based Christian movie - it’s got some bible base and some man made parts. THAT is what ALL christian movies have.
Those commenting about gay actors or whatever else people choose to say is wrong with the Chosen, why are they not bashing The 10 commandments or The Passion or every other Christina based film?
They are ALL “off” in some way!
I bet in various christian based movies were plenty of non believers who had all sorts of addictions and lifestyles but it just wasn’t publicized.
Get over your own self and realize GOD can use any thing to reach people, and do all sorts of good things, through anything. He got my attention through Christian tv that at the time everyone was saying was full of fraud preachers.
It’s been more than a decade and since that first time I turned it on I started really diving into learning and letting Him change me and use me for HIs purposes. I don’t have tv anymore but thank God all the time that He used what was available at the time to woo me and draw me in and save me when I finally asked Him.
Not my thing. I’d rather just read the Bible. I don’t care if others watch it; that’s up to them. If it leads some to read the actual Bible and come to know Jesus through his actual word, that’s fine. If for others their whole knowledge about Jesus and the Gospel is from a TV series, that’s sad.
Well I was hoping the thread link would come up because I was busy with something else at the time.
The thread will explain it, for most.
Let me go look - I’ve got a couple of minutes now until the next thing
(I’d rather just read the Bible)
👍👍👍
Good post. Good points.
Eg; Richard Burton turning Christian in the Robe.
Fascinating...
I grew up with ‘Jesus Christ SUPERSTAR’ and now I regard that Movie as Very bad
Theologically.
The Chosen is engaging but a bit to much
Soap Opera. Three seasons in to it and me having the DVDs I’ve binge watched it twice and haven’t seen anything sinister.
Yes I’ll buy the Forth from Hobby Lobby.
“The Chosen” - a bit of background
For those who may have missed these threads - more information

This was a topic that came up recently
Don’t complain when churches have gay pride events - acting all surprised
Get over your own self
Well, thank you. I will look at them.
But I have to say a friend of mine watches it, lost her husband recently, been together since h.s. They were in their sixties. Her and his only ‘love’.
It helps her get through this terrible time. She is part of a church and knows the bible well. I don’t think she’s fooled by the fact they’re actors, have their faults, sins, whatever.
I’m sure she’s on the lookout for misleading ideas in it. But it really has helped her, she’s hurting.
I understand
Got a friend that watches them ....
religiously (LOL) with his parents
Kept trying to get me to watch it
I had never paid attention - then I ran across that information
There’s no doubt media has an impact
I’m often reminded of this:
Matthew 24:24
King James Version
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024%3A24&version=KJV
(have their faults, sins, whatever.)
Yes, ALL of us.
I just don’t want to be pushing these types of agendas that are creeping into churches - so that’s why I commented
Yep.
The churches are going with the wrong ‘guy’ lately.
