You’re probably going to catch a bit of flak here. Some FReepers believe that “The Chosen” does not follow Scripture closely enough.
Perhaps that’s a fair criticism. But as I see it, any imperfections are outweighed by the good the series does. It brings more people closer the life of Christ.
To each his own.
It seems to me the gospel was once enough. I am very uncomfortable mixing the truth of scripture with fiction. It seems like to me one is adding to the scriptures by doing so. That said, I’m the only one I know that is bothered by it.
I am worried it will create a false view of God and the Scriptures. When one thinks of Christ, if all they have is this, they will think of the actor. I’m not surei can even fully articulate why I’m uncomfortable with that.
Fiction added into the story of Jesus may eventually get it cancelled..
And boy, will that be a fun day on the religious forum..
Amen
