Completely Disagree here!
It is a Show that DOES Promote Jesus and Biblical Viewpoints, but, it is ALSO a Business, in the United States of America, that must uphold all Employee Rights.

So does Mormonism, ever listened to Glenn Beck?

You don't have to agree. Just pointing out the facts. Most of the world doesn't agree and neither did they agree with Jesus Christ so they just silenced Him. (Killed Him because they did not want to know the truth.) Still, the truth is Jesus Christ and He is the only truth and we will all answer to Him.

Not so, but believe what you want, it will all come out in the end. I am not here to argue with you. But making up a god to suit yourself is called idolatry.
So you deny claiming he said things he did not? That is called bearing false witness.

Seems you have made an idol of your mistaken notions, since you prefer them to the truth of the matter.

It was a joke. Obviously a joke predicated on understanding my sense of humor.

Surely you jest and I am well aware of that. However, just as surely, there may
have been some who did not know, and so, for clarity's sake, I answered.

He did say they are a family. He did say we are not a church. He did say they are not a ministry. He did say they are not a Christian production. He did say they don't have a corporate prayer. He flat out says they are not any of the above and people that say it don't make it true.

So I believe him. And no I did not lie, that is what he said and anyone that can hear can go listen to it and hear for themself.

Still, he made such a good point to place himself far from standing up for Jesus Christ and the truth. I can choose to give my opinion that people should be careful what comes from a worldly show about Jesus Christ, they are many out there and most are deceiving people.

No true believer in Jesus Christ will be silenced because of those who want their own truth and not the real truth who is Jesus Christ.

Most of the apostles were martyred because they would not be silenced. If you want to promote the show, go for it no one is trying to stop you.

Predicating is hard.
It seems The Chosen aggravates those who wish to advocate that Christianity amputate anything slightly alternate.
Preferring yes! to bifurcate with their opinions obstinate which they carefully calibrate to cursorily denigrate.

He did say they are a family.
He said they were like family. Does everyone in any or every given family believe? I think not.
He recognizes that his employees come from various backgrounds and belief systems, and
does not expect or force them to hold the same beliefs as him to work on his project.


He did say we are not a church.
That's correct, but not what you said at first. They are not a church. They are a production company.
That does not mean they are not part of the church body.


Well yes, he did say they are not the church?

You must be debating yourself. I did not say anyone was not a part of the church body. I did get that he was not a ministry and a Christian production and that is OK with me. I can voice how I feel also. You promote the show and please don't stone me for standing up for what I believe. PEACE

In the video, Dallas Jenkins says the show's content is Christian because it's about Christ. That's laughable. Just because it's about Jesus that doesn't make it Christian. How many shows and movies have been made about Jesus that were absolute nonsense. As a for-profit corporation, The Chosen, Inc. isn't motivated by truth. It's whole reason for existing is profit. In other words, it makes money by telling people what they want to hear.
