This one, I knew the fruit was bad from the begining.
just as true as the book of mormon
I’m pretty sure the Bible has multiple times Jesus could have done a miracle but chose not to, so this story segment does not sound inconsistent
Where is that in the Bible again?
Can’t really say this is worse than when it started, but it sure isn’t getting any better or less disturbing as time goes on.
Bingo. Never underestimate the laziness of people who can't put forth the monumental effort to crack open a Bible, but week after week over the course of several years will soak up like a sponge someone's theatrical representation of it. Modern television is for zombies.
I don’t mind stories based on the Bible, such as Ben Hur and Risen, as long as they don’t make up stories about the life of Jesus or any of the Apostles. Ben Hur did have a moment with Jesus, but it didn’t change anything about the real story of our Savior.
This penchant to basically write fan fiction is just distracting and can deceive people without the writers intending it to.
Naturally, the movie makers assumed they could improve on the Bible!
Is she refused healing because she played a lesbian in NCIS Los Angelos?
I’m not a fan of Chosen series as exact bible education (its not meant to be) but its not much different than any other bible based movie (the passion, 10 commandments, etc) or bible principle based drama movie. All are not biblical in ways.
Even the various versions of word for word dvds of the 4 NT Gospels act out the verses differently. And the Jesus actors portray Him differently (more serious, or humorous, more touchy or not)
If God uses the Chosen to soft hearts and make even just a few people ask God for help and it leads them on a path away from their old life to new, and seek after Him, that’s a similar path He led me on. Step by step away from my ways andwill and surrender parts of myself as i realized HE KNEW BEST.
No church message from any pastor is perfect, no bible study group, video, teaching is complete or exactly how God meant His words originally.
We are human and never will 100% know all until a time beyond this world.
The reason people are on this earth is to have a chance to choose relationship with God thru Jesus Christ for eternity with God.
If you’ve grown in Christ and see the flaws in whatever sermon or movie or bible study, great. It doesnt mean God isnt using it for good in someway for some people to help them see something they hadnt seen beforeaboutHim.
Those of you constantly putting down the chosen, do you also put down EVERY christian based movie, tv, church production, theater production?
Maybe you could learn something about yourself you havent surrendered or something God may want to bring to your attention by watching? I’ve learned to listen to sermons and my ears hear the part(s) that sound out of line but there are always parts in line with God’s word and i focus onthose.
You have to ask yourself this about TeeVee Jesus: Why did they have to inject this? What is the significance of injecting a story where Jesus CAN'T and WON'T heal a person? From the beginning they planned this into The Chosen. As people watch TeeVee Jesus they are absorbing into their spirit and soul a fictional character that distorts the Word of God. This one scene is just an example of how a group of people can execute a subtle plan to add to and distort scripture. They are doing it with success.
I prefer The Passion of the Christ and Jesus of Nazareth.
I knew Face Palm Jesus was destined to go off track

And there goes the motorcycle over the shark enclosure. There are really great potrayals of some of the stories about Jesus in Chosen. I really like the woman at the well episode as well as the healing of the palsy.
But taking something there is no biblical or historical record of and trying to create a dramatic story whole cloth is basically using the name of God for monetary purposes.
In the beginning I didn’t mind that the show used a bit of creative license to develop the characters of the apostles. It helped humanize them and draw us closer to them. But adding major plot lines to the show which have nothing to do with scripture is another thing altogether.
The only town I am aware Jesus performed no miracles in in the Bible was a town which misunderstood who Jesus was,and did not accept him.
People will always find an excuse as long as they are ‘entertained’.
