The Chosen’ Director Dallas Jenkins continues to tweak and antagonize Christians purposefully. When he’s not insisting that he loves the same Jesus that his Mormon friends do, demonstrating again and again his false understanding of Jesus and the gospel, he’s posting videos of his crew members wearing the LGBTQ flag.
We’ve written about Jenkins and his abject biblical ignorance in the past with our posts about his belief that Mormons are Christians (see endnotes), but also the controversy that surrounded his gay cameraman Daniel Fritz wearing the Pride flag in behind-the-scenes videos.
All indications are that it’s deliberate and intentional. In the past, Jenkins insisted that he was not putting the Pride flag front and center, but its original appearance resulted from a brief glimpse in some behind-the-scenes footage.
This time, however, Jenkins had hundreds of hours of The Chosen video he could pull from and put up prominently on his social media, and out of everything, he showcased this one.
Previously, Jenkins shared that all the cast and crew are contractors who can do or say what they want on their own time and on social media, and that they don’t police people’s actions on set “as long as they’re not harming anyone else on set, you know, kind of the usual rules of you know, everyone’s just kind of respecting each other.”
He also took umbrage at people saying he should forbid employees from wearing the Pride flag, insisting:
“We do not have a religious or political litmus test for who we hire. And we also do not police, individual’s social media, or their own personal work spaces, like their own gear, their own equipment, their own T shirts.”
We doubt this is true, however. Are we really to believe that if his camera man was wearing a Nazi swastika, which we imagined on the right hand picture, that Jenkins would be alright with it? That he wouldn’t insist he remove it? Not a chance.
The Pride flag is a celebration of perversion and represents the destruction of the family. It is evil and stands for moral chaos and rebellion towards the Lord.
For Jenkins, however, it’s just another Tuesday.

The title of the book is “Dispensationalism” by Lewis Sperry Chafer, the founder of Dallas Theological Seminary.
I had to finish that post in a hurry, and the punctuation wasn’t very clear.
Did you get a chance to look at that link I posted?
It’s probably pointless to argue over this. We both just have different interpretations of the bible. It’s not up to me to tell others which is the correct interpretation. People can decide for themselves which is correct.
Please stop saying “ “Mormons are about as Christian as the Dispensationalists.”
That is bearing false witness.
It’s wrong.
It’s not bearing false witness it’s expressing my opinion. An opinion probably held by most who aren’t Dispensationalists themselves.
It’s an “opinion” you’re unwilling to give without a clear accusation.
What exactly makes a Dispensationalist unworthy of membership in a New Testament church?
I am both. (Christian and Missionary Alliance) church member AND dispensation alist.
Bkmk
I was raised Catholic although I now consider myself a generic Christian. But I retained my focus on the New Testament just as Catholics do. Dispensationalists seem wedded to the Old Testament way more than other Christian sects. I view Jesus as essentially a reformer who was telling the Jews at the time that they got things wrong. He may have been of Jewish ethnicity but what he preached went totally against what Judaism believed. The God of the Old Testament was an angry and tribal God whereas Christianity is a universal religion that speaks of God’s love. How can one possibly read the bible and not notice the difference between the God of the Old Testament with the one in the New? So like I’ve said I consider Jesus a reformer who wanted to convert his fellow Jews to the actual truth of what God was really about. Dispensationalists in my view are just one small step from being Noahides which isn’t Christianity in my opinion. Their insistence on embracing the Old Testament as unerring truth would be an error in my view.
I was also raised Catholic, by the way.
Have you looked at Chafer’s book that I linked to? You can get a VERY good summary from the first couple of pages.
Let me know what you think.
By the way there are many different modes of dispensationalism, but Chafer is straightforward.
I’ll try and take a look at it when I get time. My sister is an Evangelical so I already have an idea of what they believe.
The Eternal God is not called by that name in error. If He is eternal and we are his children, what can be then said of us, much less his only begotten Son in the flesh? We are as eternal as The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I don’t think getting all wrapped up in the word created will lead to clear thinking because what we know about creation in the eternal sense is really nothing.
Nice evasive answer by not answering the question.
You appear to be awfully closed minded if you consider what I wrote to be evasive. What do you want, a yes or no answer? No, what you want is the answer you already have in your mind, and though unrelated to truth your mind is made up, and it shows.
It is apparent that no matter what my answer it wouldn’t measure up to your preconceived notions. I’m going with my initial assessment of your comments based on your most recent blizzard of comment, questions and apparent inability to answer my question to you.
If you were able to address just one question, conversation might be a possibility. For example you put words in my mouth by declaring I was quoting John 1:1. If we were conversing I’d want an explanation why you think I’m quoting from John and why that is important. Unless you tell me I have no clue, and if the word evasive enters the picture because you choose not to believe what I write that too requires explanation by you.
Looks like it’s up to you. Either answer why you accuse me of being evasive when I declare I have written an answer from my personal knowledge which requires more from you to discern where I’m coming from if all you can think of is evasive. The last thing on the mind of any member of the Church of Jesus Christ is being evasive. That’s in your mind not mine.
All of the other issues with LDS I showed from LDS sources.
Bottom line: the LDS is a cult. It is not Christian.
The Eternal God is not called by that name in error. If He is eternal and we are his children, what can be then said of us, much less his only begotten Son in the flesh? We are as eternal as The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I don’t think getting all wrapped up in the word created will lead to clear thinking because what we know about creation in the eternal sense is really nothing.
Once again....please explain John 1:1 as it pertains to if Jesus is eternal or not....but I have a pretty good idea why you won't answer.
