he Chosen Director Dallas Jenkins has defended a plot twist in season four of his hit Jesus show, featuring the Savior choosing not to heal the Apostle Thomas’s fiancee after a Roman official straight up murders her in front of them. According to Crosswalk Headlines:
The plot twist occurs at the end of Season 4, Episode 3, when a Roman official, Quintus, grows irate at his inability to capture Jesus in a large crowd and begins swinging a sword. In his anger, Quintus stabs Ramah, the fiancee of the apostle Thomas in the series. Quintus then flees the scene.
With Ramah lying on the ground, bleeding and dying, she urges Thomas to “stay with” Jesus. Thomas then pleads with Jesus to raise her back to life. A tearful Jesus expresses remorse but responds, “It is not her time. I love you, Thomas. He loves you. I’m so sorry.” Moments later, the credits appear on the screen.
We hesitate to think how many people will believe this story is somewhere in the scriptures. Thomas and Ramah’s relationship was frequently featured in The Chosen, and it will almost certainly play a crucial role in why Thomas is given the moniker “Doubting Thomas” following Jesus’ resurrection.
Responding to criticism and comments in his post-episode livestream, Jenkins offered:
“This was not something that we just did to be interesting or to be shocking. This is something that we have thought about and planned since season 1, actually — since we were first coming up with all seven seasons of the show. What you just saw is not something that took place in Scripture … but the truth, the spiritual truth of what we portrayed just now, is extremely important.”

you should read the Bible. It’s full of TRUTH and what you posted is not TRUTH.
“He healed them all”.
The chosen is devilish propaganda.
what they are portraying is completely unbiblical.
I wouldn’t say that. It was awesome right up to the “Little James” episode where Jesus wouldn’t heal James and told him to basically “suck it up.” Right up to that point, I found nothing unscriptural about anything.
Indeed, the portrayal of Matthew as kind of an autistic guy was excellent and made perfect sense.
This is the reason that Origen is not considered a Church Father. He too believed in Apokatastasis - basically the belief that hell is not eternal.
Well said!
