an anyone critical of the Chosen series specifically point to anywhere in the video series itself how it presents Jesus in any other way than Biblical Christianity?
I have watched every episode of all 3 seasons.
I found the 1st 2 seasons to be excellent and they even moved me at times. Especially the episode about Simon the Zealot, and his brother that Jesus healed at the Bethesda Pool.
The 3rd season was just not that good. It had moments, but waaay too much nonessential interaction between the characters, that have virtually nothing to do with the Gospel. I understand there has to be some of that, but there was just too much.
Having said that, there are at least TWO totally unbiblical scenes in the show that I've seen so far.
The first is probably less of an offense than the second.
Essentially Mary Magdalene backslides, and Jesus forgives her. Which is fine. But He adds the line, "Did you think you'd never sin again"? Now coming from anybody else, I'd have less of a problem with it.
Although I believe in essence that the statement is true, it runs completely counter to Jesus' proclamation to "GO AND SIN NO MORE".
The second is Jesus refusing to heal "Little James" of his bad leg and limp. This is bad no matter how you slice it. Jesus NEVER refused to heal anyone who came to Him, and I think sends a very bad message to those who aren't very Biblically literate.
P.S. One of things that will make or break the show will be with how they handle Judas. Theyv'e pretty much tiptoed around him so far.
