Of course,the Chosen is heretical nonsence that includes conversations and ideas that are extra Biblical.

Our? It is not your story Dallas.
To: Morgana
because it wouldn’t “serve our story.”
Really? Then I am confused. I thought your story was about the risen Christ and his followers. Having seen the Ascension pretty much nailed their case, as it were.

Sometimes, Dallas seems hesitant to show Jesus as God.

There is a trend if not a deliberate effort to remove any divinity from christ.

I enjoy the Chosen and understand that it is as biblical as most other movies depicting Jesus...I do like the “human” Jesus— Granted its all Dallas Jenkins-wood...okay, I can still enjoy it though and then go back and re-read my bible can’t I?

If Dallas Jenkins is a Mormon then its understandable that he would refuse to include anything that shows that the Lord Jesus Christ is God ...
Mormons deny that Jesus is God, the only begotten Son of God ...

Not Jenkins biggest fan but why would you attempt that with a streamer when Jenkins and everyone else knows that Gibson and Caviezel are set to start shooting "The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection" this fall.
Mel is talking about figuratively transforming the audience with this movie. This movie has unlimited potential, it could be the catalyst for the Great Reawakening.

The ‘Transfiguration’ is a very deep and rich moment in the life of Christ here on earth and volumes couldn’t do it justice.
Dallas does have some issues perhaps with taking the Hard paths of the Kingdom.
To: Morgana
“The Transfiguration is VERY important. First of all, it reveals Jesus in FULL divinity. He did this to give Sts. Peter, James and John consolation and hope so as to strengthen them during his coming Passion and Death. Second, it also shows that Jesus IS the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.” Exactly correct! To deny the Transfiguration is effectively to deny Christ. IMO of course.

So what could have been something wonderful, has been turned into just another project to make money and fame for themseves. Sad really.
I’ve been watching and enjoying the series so far. Beyond some creative license, it has been good.

This is the 3rd post from this protestia group that I have read and each one seems typical of heresy hunters. Taking things out of context and attacking ministries for sometimes trivial items.
I looked carefully at the Facebook link, and it appears clearly to me his line on the Book of mormon was a joke. I seriously don't understand why Christians are so eager to attack The Chosen. Noah and Ridley's Scott's Exodus did not get attacked like this and they were horrible distortions from the truth.
The Chosen has never claimed to be a Scripture by Scripture retelling. But it has been far better than many films through the years on Jesus. If you want by the book, try Gospel of John - but even that will have moments that frustrate you, as nobody can do justice to what Jesus did on Earth.
Chosen is entertainment first, and an outreach to those not familiar with the Biblical story. There have been a few moments I cringed, and a few more that made me think. I wrote about the scene with the woman at the well that made me go back and study the story more carefully. And God revealed some things I never noticed before.
I'll shut up now. But let's try and be at peace with others instead of tearing them down. As Believers, we should have far more in common than differences. And judge the source as well. There are people that LOVE to sow division. Don't let them succeed. If you dislike the Chosen, that's fine. Nobody is going to grab you, torture you and throw you in the fire - those days are hopefully behind us.
I'm rooting for folks like Angel Studios, Pure Flix and GFA to not only survive, but thrive. We need quality entertainment, Christian, and even secular that is not obviously anti-Christian, as alternatives to the crap that's out there. If you don't like it, that's fine. But they are trying, and for that reason I will be supportive.
16 Speaking of this as he does in all of his letters. There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures. 2 Pe 3:16 AMP
Even the Apostles had disagreements. Some had more Revelation than others. Some were more legalistic than others. But somehow, we are to be at peace with each other.
40 And I implored Your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.
41 Jesus answered, O [faithless ones] unbelieving and without trust in God, a perverse (wayward, crooked and warped) generation! Until when and how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here [to Me].
42 And even while he was coming, the demon threw him down and [completely] convulsed him. But Jesus censured and severely rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and restored him to his father.
43 And all were astounded at the evidence of God’s mighty power and His majesty and magnificence. But [while] they were all marveling at everything Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
44 Let these words sink into your ears: the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men [whose conduct is opposed to God].
45 However, they did not comprehend this saying; and it was kept hidden from them, so that they should not grasp it and understand, and they were afraid to ask Him about the statement.
46 But a controversy arose among them as to which of them might be the greatest [surpassing the others in excellence, worth, and authority].
47 But Jesus, as He perceived the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and put him at His side
48 And told them, Whoever receives and accepts and welcomes this child in My name and for My sake receives and accepts and welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me so also receives Him Who sent Me. For he who is least and lowliest among you all—he is [the one who is truly] great.
49 John said, Master, we saw a man driving out demons in Your name and we commanded him to stop it, for he does not follow along with us.
50 But Jesus told him, Do not forbid [such people]; for whoever is not against you is for you.
Lk 9:40–50 AMP
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.
2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.
5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.
Eph 4:1–6 NLT
You know its interesting that Saul thought he was doing God's work by rounding up and killing followers of Jesus. He was a Pharisee that studied under Gamaliel, and few understood Scripture more than he. And yet there he was on the way to Damascus when he MET JESUS. And what did Jesus say?
“Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”
Ac 9:4 NLT
Jesus took the persecution of HIS BODY PERSONALLY. And His Body is made up of MANY parts, placed where it pleases the Father. We are not bricks - all identical. Nor are we fashioned stones to be similar. We are more like stones, a unique creation, given the Grace by God to do the things He has planned for us. And you know, those jobs will likely vary quite a bit from person to person. Remember that when you are TEMPTED to attack another. Pray about it first. Ask God if you've been called to be a heresy hunter.
