The Chosen was a catalyst for ending my relationship with paganism and darkness. Led to my purchase of my first Bible.

this show helped guide me back.. to eventually being baptized a few weeks ago.

I LOVE LOVE The Chosen. Being raised by a mean physically abusive father it has been difficult for me to see my Heavenly Father as loving. But this series has shown me a Jesus that I never saw before and it’s been a huge blessing for me.

The very first episode of The Chosen has this statement written out, before the first person appears on the screen:
"The Chosen is based on the true stories of the gospels of Jesus Christ. Some locations and timelines have been combined or condensed. Back stories and some characters or dialogue have been added.
However, all biblical and historical context and any artistic imagination are designed to support the truth and intention of the Scriptures.
Viewers and encouraged to read the gospels.
The original names, locations, and phrases have been transliterated into English for anything spoken."

I wouldn't be mad if Mark watched the entire show and corrected it like this 😊

Great commentary and thoughts. Love from India !

The Chosen while may not being " Perfect "....has lead soooo many back to the Bible and reading the Word of God. My Dad, 79, has started reading the Bible again, attending online services and talking to me about and asking questions of the lessons and parables. I LOVE this show and the actors are second to none! I've cried throughout and I'm a "Manly Man", lol.... Probably cried 3 times in my life and they were all childhood BMX

I watched the first 2 seasons. I started becoming weary of it at the next season. I stopped watching it. Haven’t looked back. It was the right decision for me and I agree with this commentary. Definitely have to read the scriptures when watching this series.

[sheilakay]

This show is needed for non-believers. Yes, let's not be too critical if this show is making people consider faith. We as true Christians know the truth. We read our Scripture. The mission is to to draw souls to eternal salvation and walk with Christ.

Used to the watch to show regularly.Purchased the first two seasons. Left when they" accidentally" Throw up a flag that they wanted everyone to see. Right before pride month. And then defending it to the point of saying if you don't like this flag don't watch so I took there advice and stopped. Yes Jesus ate with the sinners and so glad for that for I am a just a sinner saved by Grace. But he didn't say well to be inclusive let's put a baal flag up on the temple wall. Not saying no one should watch just had to follow what the Lord laid on my heart.

[slavicekjan]

I am very glad that you commented on this show. I love your channel and I do like this show, and I like how you have a honest critical review on this.

3:15 “I know Jacob.”
Dude…I love that line.

I'm retired at 38, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $555k every 3weeks! and a good daughter full of love

Mark, please. This show is bringing people to Jesus, and other than reading the Gospel in Aramaic, the translations will never be perfect. They are doing a great thing by touching hearts and minds, the soul belongs to Jesus. There have been times when you've been judged harshly and yet some would say erroneously. Just as God used imperfect people for his plans, he can also use an imperfect show as well. God bless you Mark!

[HanasDad]

Hi Pastor Mark, The Chosen is really good and it's enjoyable for me to watch the bible acted out in a way that's entertaining while I know it's not accurate. I really do believe that this show is bringing people to Christ. I found you as my pastor after reading the New Testament on my own and then watching The Chosen... I am NOT WOKE which is why I'm following you. But, I agree with what you said, if someone hasn't read and studied the bible it would be bad for them to think that The Chosen is an acceptable substitute for reading the bible. As a side note, I REALLY don't trust those "He Gets Us" ads. Have you done a review of those ads?

[karencavalli]

She continually says He knows all the things I did. She knows she's a sinner. Let the storyline be just, that a story. I find it humane. I love it

[kennethdoughty]

All 4 seasons on DVD.
You Are spot on MARK !
Thanks

[johnnybravo]

I've never watched this show, but when I saw a trailer for this, I felt lead to stay away from giving any time or attention to this show.

[SNMIKE]

Dallas said by no means is The Chosen a word for word translation of the Holy Bible. He stated that a lot of things that are in the movie are plausible, might have happened, by no means definitely happened. As long as they do not twist God's word, I am hooked on this show. If this show turns thousands of people to seek God and His son Jesus Christ for the true word, it's a beautiful thing. John 3:16
Godspeed

[Tazbocat]

That word" humanizing" Jesus is exactly why I love the Chosen. Because Jesus does not float around with a halo. Because the apostles are just like us. Real people with real flaws.
The show solidified that Jesus walked among us as a man not as a floating unattainable being surrounded by a glowing light.
It puts Christ in a way that makes you feel like you can walk right up to Him, talk to Him and sit with Him, confess your most inner thoughts and He will love and accept you and change your life forever.
That is the point of the show. I won't critique it or needle it. It has done more to bring people to Christ than any show ever.. And that says a lot.
