I was enjoying watching the Chosen series but then got put off by the back ground of the makers of the show and the probable affect of Mormonism. It didn't bother me that it was not straight from the bible.. I just thought of it as a what may have been scenario. I didn't like the way though that Jesus didn't seem to be fully God straight off the bat by the way they were portraying Him.

I've been watching the LUMO gospel series about Jesus, which I like for the word for word adaption. It has the narration style of showing Jesus films, but is word for word with NIV or KJV with some very good narrators chosen. The filming is by a documentary film maker, so has the documentary type feel to it.

The only issue I have with this, is the guy playing Jesus-- although is Jewish and looks the part, the way he performs some of the miracles is kind of like a superhero.. putting out His hand like a Jedi manipulating an object or doing a mind control thing by staring hard at something and it changes. Maybe Jesus did do things like that.. but that doesn't look like God operating.. but a man who is trying to be super powered.
Jesus had a full Jewish beard....granted the way they show Jesus is not with the beard that is so very common for jews. Television eh?

As well Jesus did not have long hair. It was a dishonor for an Israelite male to have long hair, 1Cor 11:14) God did make a special covenant with the Nazarites( Samson) they were not supposed to cut their hair. Jesus was a Nazarene not a Nazarite. Some religions claiming to be christian have Jesus with long hair in their pictures of him, showing to the world him bringing dishonor to his Fathers name. Because they do not know Jesus is why they do that.

you must be one of those woke christians, just because i give an opinion you take it as judgement. my bible says christians are supposed to judge all things and that Jesus will judge you and i by what was said and done. it also says a person who doesnt like correction is stupid. i am not saying you are stupid just giving you the opportunity to know the difference and know what the Lord says.
More unfounded judgmental statements.

Okay... now that I know what kind of person you are and how you want to be treated, I will treat you accordingly.

Indeed. And get off the internet. It’s a tool of the Devil.
Leave this world and become a monk … oh wait those are Catholics …. Just tell everyone that you’re right and they’re all wrong.
That will show them.

It is sad that this stuff is destroying everything. But the Bible said it would and the devil is so deceiving. Be careful who you follow. Know the truth (the Bible) and study it.

If This Wasn’t Recorded Nobody Would Believe It…

So the cameraman is part of the alphabet community?
Prayers this show will help convict his heart and lead him to repentance.

No, it won't lead him to repentance and I'll tell you why: because no one on that set expects him to repent. The show isn't about glorifying the Lord but about making money and as much of it as possible. If it was truly about glorifying the Lord, that guy's disrespect would've been called out a long time ago. As long a he keeps helping them rake it in, they couldn't care less. Why would he repent? He's got it made already.

The question is Who's side are you on. There is no middle ground!

https://know-the-bible.com/may-29/
Wow. So because I advocate for praying for a sinner I'm in the middle ground? I'm pretty sure Jesus is not willing that any should perish but all come to repentance. What "sides" are you speaking of? Your side? God's side? Because I stand with Yahweh.

Some have called for whoever is bringing the Pride flag on set to be fired. The show films in Texas, and according to Ross Law Group: They can’t fire Fritz from the set for being gay.

I dont like the alphabet thing not one bit it is sin.... You are harsh when someone says they hope the show will lead to a soul conviction.

Any alphabet folks working at the places you shop? Maybe they work at the factory that built your car. Any friends that maybe have some sins? Any loved one cheat on the taxes. Sex is not the only sin. Maybe you "looked " at another woman 'that way' once? As you say there is no middle ground right?

The company who builds cars, and the places where I shop don't claim to be ministers of the gospel. So The Chosen is left with one of two options: either they're a ministry that represents the gospel of Jesus, or they're a business who is selling Jesus for profit.

I only watched about 5 minutes of this before I wanted to barf. Phil Robertson says: "Seeing something is a lot more powerful than reading something." However, the Lord said just the opposite: "Jesus said to him, 'Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' ” John 20:29 He also compliments Dallas Jenkins for "bringing the scriptures to life." But Jenkins doesn't bring the scriptures to life; he brings ideas about the scriptures from his own mind to life.

These guys are Christian celebrities, not ministers of the gospel. They're there for their own mutual benefit, not Christ's. What's it going to take to wake people up?

If you have a problem with Robertsons words , take that up with him not me. I’d love to see you on their podcast Their testimonies and ministries have done many great things for the kingdom thus far. You may as well take it up with David, Solomon and even Jesus though. Did Jesus condemn Thomas? Not that we can tell. A simple encouragement was sufficient to restore Thomas’ critical attitude of faith.

John 20:29 does not contradict The the fact the the Bible consistently talks about things of God and even God himself being tasted and seen

“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭63‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬


“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42‬:‭1‬-‭2‬, ‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬


“Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬


“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬


“Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.””
‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭35‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Point well taken . The show is not in the business to loose money . Personally i dont like the show to me the ones i watched portrayed a weak Jesus.

Well, you were after all the one who posted the video. If you don't want people commenting on what you post then don't post it.

Not the point of what we’re talking about nice way to try to avoid the real conversation . I see no problem with Phil’s statement in light of the scripture I listed. Where do you find fault allegedly so worthy of immediate condemnation of this man?
