We have watched The Chosen, and while it’s good, we also recognize the license taken with the stuff that is not actually taken from Scripture.

That is because you are biblically literate. But the vast majority of viewers who are not do not know the difference between The Chosen and the Bible. I think it is a misplaced hope, as some people have, that by watching this show, many people will be inspired to actually pick up a Bible. They just want to be entertained.

Sadly, I have to agree.

“because you are biblically literate...”

I question that. I’ve been intensely studying & teaching the Bible for 55 years and every Chosen I’ve seen is full of unbiblical stuff. Yes, lots is Biblical - but plenty contradicts scripture too......they “go beyond what is written”.

And often the viewers don’t remember the Biblical part - they remember the part that is extra-biblical or unbiblical - and consider is as valid as scripture itself.

Not good.

Every view of The Chosen should be followed by a Berean study to see “if it really is so” what the show presents. Sadly, I doubt if many do that.
