Go look at the threads I posted.
It’s all right there.
It’s not in the shows, per se.
It’s what they said outside - I posted 4 links to threads on the topic in 15
Ping for later.
Personally, I can’t watch ANY show of YESHUA. A sinful man is trying to protray GOD.
Yeah, I understand that pretty much.
How much will the Antichrist (the “instead-of-christ”) try to imitate Jesus?
I daresay, from the extent of the deception, that he’ll do an excellent job.
The warning couldn’t possibly be clearer:
Matthew 24:24
21st Century King James Version
24 For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

That's very true. However, I'm not concerned that people are exposed to other interpretations. That's a healthy and normal thing. One of my concerns about this TV series (among others) is that it will become their only or primary interpretation of Jesus and the Gospel. To be honest, many, many people will watch this show and will have it imprinted on their minds as the standard on which to perceive the actual Bible--if they ever get around to reading it. That's simply how powerful the visual entertainment medium of television is and how disinclined people are today to to the hard work of actually cracking open a book. I already have heard from people when discussing some scene in the Bible, say things like "Yeah, but in 'The Chosen...'" as if it were some kind of standard to measure the actual Gospel against.
In short, I don't worry so much about so much about people who are already grounded in the Scriptures, but the forming of first impressions of those who are not.
Hmmm. I’ll have to mull that over. You make some good points.
Thank you for expressing what I was thinking as well.
To the uninitiated, the fiction can become the “reality” through which all other things are filtered.
As an example, ask anyone at random: “What object did Eve give to Adam in the Garden of Eden?”
Don’t give them any hint or pre-warn them.
Watch what comes out of their mouths as “the answer”.
Exactly.
I have only looked at the finished product
I have seasons 1-3 dvds
Even Scripture will be filtered through the fiction.
To a person who read the Book of Mormon sales pitch (like me) I could only recognize it as a hack-job because I had read basically the whole Bible beforehand.
