As a non believer, I didn't know the Bible. The chosen helped me become interested in Jesus, and ultimately lead me to becoming a Baptized follower of our Lord and Savior. In the final analysis I would say it is simply "biblically inspired entertainment" and certainly not the Holy word of God

[julieehlmann]

As a believer, I started to watch The Chosen series because some of my friends did. It wasn't long before I had a problem. For me, I do not like words or stories added to or taken away from what is written in the Bible. I believe everything that is in the Bible is God breathed. When we do this, we are saying that what God has given us is not enough. I will never say that.

I became concerned when I watched some of the behind the scenes and writers' videos they put out.
Just a bit of content that are red flags:
-Jesus dictating, rehearsing, and taking suggestions from his disciple while "prepping" his Sermon on the Mt.
-The slander of Peter, who is our brother whom we will get to know in heaven. It's implied that he had been adulterous, that he betrayed his fellow Jews, among other things.
-The statement that the word of God won't be completely written, that it can be added to. The writers actually chuckled at how pleased Mormon "Christians" were with that scene.
-Changing actual facts (ex. writing in a female as the main instigator of bringing the paralytic to Jesus. I'm female and I know pandering when I see it.)
This is just from seeing various scenes & director's commentary on YT. I've seen enough to know I can't support this series with my viewership.

I am an evangelical, born again believer who loved the Chosen from episode 1! However, as I have read some of the social media about the Chosen and churches doing Bible studies using the chosen as the source of study, a big red flag popped up! The Bible is our only source we need…Jesus Himself is enough!

[Stridermd]

As a mature Christian, I recognized quickly that this was fiction and watched it with that in mind. But for a new believer to watch this it's very dangerous. I watched it with a new Christian and she was in love with the show. She never read the Bible and now has no desire to read the gospels because she's getting everything from the show. Very dangerous.

[Tone]

As a Chosen viewer, I never put that show over the accuracy of what the scriptures say. The scriptures are truly the foundation to what’s true about our Lord. The show could never replace that

[caleb]

My Pastor started showing the chosen on Sunday nights due to a very small crows attending. I told him I had some major concerns and referred him to some other faithful videos that had objections to it. He immediately rejected my concerns and carried on with showing this to our church.

Pastors, youth pastors, anyone in ministry...be humble enough to listen to those making you wary of potential enemy tactics. Investigate everything you feed to your flock. The enemy is cunning.

[jojohnson]

I’ve tried several times to watch the series but it just felt “off” to me and I never made it past the first episode. The whole addition to the biblical stories didn’t feel right to me. Now I know why, thank you Todd. Love you brother.

[tedwagner]

I didn't really feel too bothered until scenes like where Jesus was preparing for the sermon on the mount and he was pacing around wringing his hands unsure of what to say. They portraited him like some high school kid preparing for speech class and then Matthew reassuring him on what to say, Then Dallas proclaiming we all embrace the same Jesus as Mormons & Roman Caths. Huge biblical Red flags

[graceforalways]

After the first season, I stopped watching because I was starting to "read" the Chosen into the Bible. I was thinking up things in my head that "probably" also happened.
No way I wanted to continue doing that.
All I need to know about my Savior has already been told to me plainly in the BIBLE🙏🏾

[mburst]

Wretched you are the only main stream theologian that gives a warning and true critique about this unholy series. Really shocked and I'm utter disbelief that people like David DiGa Hernandez, Marcus Rogers, AOC Network, and Isaiah Saldivar all promote and support this.

[sandstorm]

My biggest pet peeve with The Chosen is definitely the putting words in Jesus' mouth thing.
And not only that, but the trailers give him such trendy modern sounding language too.
"I'm going to start a revolution."
"That's the idea."
Bleh... That does not feel like Jesus.

The Gospels always gave me the sense that Jesus did not speak freely and loosely like we often do. He spoke seldomly, and when he did, he did so with purpose and authority in every word. At least, that's how I feel.

[clpotis]

Thank you! I’ve had a vague bad feeling about watching a 21st century “Jesus” doing and saying things that aren’t in the Bible. In an end times age that is marked in the Bible by multiple warnings against deception, why are we filling our imaginations with things Jesus “might have said”???
The Bible says we have been given everything we need for life and godliness.

[suzettecalleja]

Never watched the Chosen. Watched the trailers that was enough. Red flags all over the place. Now I'm sure of that. Thank you.

They have actually changed stories in the bible. They put a woman in a story that had only men. They had Jesus practicing the sermon on the mount. Jesus is God and dosen't need to practice His teachings! And they had John the Baptist talking almost disrespectfully to Jesus. John the Baptist said he wasn't fit to tie Jesus's sandals. They're portraying a different Jesus

[madjackie]

The Jesus I fell in love with was in the movie "Jesus of Nazareth." He was portrayed as calm, kind, tender, loving, caring, and peaceful-all of which He is. However, He is much much more than that. I have struggled getting to know Christ as He is because I have clung so tightly to the Jesus I first loved. The Lord has helped me to understand why I was drawn to Him in that movie, but has also helped me to see how my desire to see Him as only that way has blinded me from seeing Him as He fully is. And He had to open my eyes to how blind I'd been too because I didn't even know I was blind.

There is a reason the Lord commanded:

3 "You shall have no other gods before me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Exodus 20:3-4, ESV)

In the same way that I cannot see God if I am looking at someone else, I cannot get to know God as He truly is if I am not looking at the true picture He gave us of Himself-His Holy Scriptures.

I have been following the Lord Jesus Christ for many years now. I have watched “The Robe”, “Ben Hur”, “The Greatest Story Ever Told”, “Risen”, “The Road to Emmaus”, and so many “Christian” movies and shows over the last 60+ years of my life. All of them had glitches, or flaws or maybe slightly different interpretations than I had. Many of them were good and edifying, some were, maybe lacking. I have also read and seen historical novels that were great, and some not so great. I love the Lord and only want to serve him. I have always enjoyed good books and shows that have value. I have been involved in theatrical productions during school and at my church over the years. I think those things have been good. While the Chosen is not perfect I have found much of it to be very edifying and none of it thus far, to be blasphemous. Some parts are definitely better than others. I express my concerns about things that are odd or peculiar with family & friends. I know my Bible and I will continue to study it and proclaim it. The Chosen is a TV show trying to show forth the life of Jesus and His apostles. It is flawed, yes, but it is pretty good. Many people would never pick up a Bible or give Jesus a thought, however, many people might watch this show and begin to think about Jesus, start to ask questions about Jesus and start to read a Bible after seeing this show.
Yes people need to know and understand that this is historical and Christian fiction. It is not the word for word script of the Bible, nor does it claim to be. If people feel that it is a distraction for them from God and His word then they should not watch it. I have found it to have the opposite effect on people, drawing them to Christ and the gospel.
We are all different. If it doesn’t edify you, then leave it and pray for the souls that do watch it.

[SavedBySweetGrace]

The best video I watched about The Chosen. Never watched it, and never will. Doctrine Matters.

I'm a Christian. I am 18 years old.
I read Bible, still reading.
And i know that, In The Chosen's script all the things are not the exactly the same that Jesus said. I know that in the last of revelation, written like don't add or don't take away anything from this Book (BIBLE).
, The Chosen's director also said this is not the exact things that Jesus said/did many things in it are created by him, but i think that show is really helpful to sooo many ppl that who don't know Christ. New developments, new idea of spreading Jesus's words- i thinking it like that. Nobody can erase my Love for Jesus by doing a show like that. it increasing day by day.
Soo many non-believers are came to Christ bcoz of The Chosen' show. I saw a comment like a viewer was going to suiçídîng but after seeing The Chosen', he/she changed mind and came to Christ.
I think The Chosen is a very effective platform to call the non believers to Christ and the Christians to love Jesus and everyone more. John the apostle 21: 5 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
There are so many things that Jesus did.But we know that may not be the same things that we can see in The Chosen. But every person who see The Chosen can't resist Jesus's love. They can see the mercy of Jesus over judgement. “I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” this is what Jesus said. Everyone who see The Chosen will come to Christ I'm sure, thereby in the name of their love towards Jesus will make them read the Bible. Thereby they'll get more and more close to Jesus our Lord. By that they'll live a life w/ kindness and peace and more than anything, they all learn to forgive like Jesus forgive us. ❤️

So, the point is, i know that the chosen is not the exact same the things Jesus did, but this show shows the UNFAILING LOVE OF JESUS TOWARDS US. HIS LOVE WILL NEVER CHANGE 💞✝️. HE IS THE SAME GOD 🫀
