Yeah, I pretty much agree with what you said.
It’s impossible to not encounter stuff like this while in the world. I was not looking at the show until they went public with this stuff.
I’ve had a lot of Mormon friends and acquaintances over the years. Overall, they were generally decent folks.
I would not have known as much about it if not for the work of others (the doctrines, history, etc.)
Plus I read the sales pitch; fortunately I had already read the Bible and recognized it for the hatchet job that it is.
Many do NOT know these things. It’s rather difficult to tell anyone though these days. We’re in the days of below. (a separate post because it has HTML, follows)
Thank you for your decent response, though. Have a blessed day.
I agree with b4me
The Chosen is entertainment and has brought people to Christ.
The studio has some Mormon or gay staff, but they are contractors. I have had to work with atheists and even witches. It is how the world rolls. But, the creator of the series, Dallas Jenkins, bears the fruit of an evangelical Christian.
I have seen no false doctrine in the series. It is entertaining and well put together.
BTW, this same group produced the Sound of Freedom, the movie about child trafficking that all other studios refused to produce.
Some of the ladies I Bible study with have atheist roommates/husbands who enjoy watching The Chosen. We are praying that this is the tool to open their eyes.
To discard The Chosen, you would also have to remove Ben Hur, Quo Vadis, The Robe, and other non Scriptural classics from our culture.
The Chosen presents a disclaimer at the very onset: “We encourage you to read the Gospels”
