I started the Chosen thinking it was a Roman themed history show, true story. By the end of the first episode I was wiping tears and hooked. Never would of given it the time of day if I knew the premise, another depiction of Jesus, but man I would of missed out on something special.
I also discovered it a few weeks ago and binged it. Actually just finished watching season 1 again and I’m starting season 2 for the second time. I love Jesus and the Chosen is a show I can watch without having to worry about straying away from my God. People that criticize it don’t understand the power of it because they want the show to be completely biblically accurate. I read the Bible when I want biblical accuracy, I watch The Chosen when I want to relax and get the message of God on my couch during my free time.
You may be right. But I have found myself sometimes turned off when writers go too far the other way; trying too hard to depict Jesus as relatable, as another version of 'us.' I still find 'Jesus of Nazareth' series by Franco Zeffirelli to be a masterpiece, although it leans very heavy towards showing the perfection of Christ, and not much on his relatability. For me, in the end, I am drawn to Christ because of His divinity; that is what sets Him apart from any other 'good' or inspiring leader.
@@ericballi4701 To sort of piggyback off what you've said, we Christians should use caution when watching an artist's depiction of our saviour Jesus Christ. We should never fall into the trap of saying to ourselves, "This must be who Jesus is." Do not substitute the Jesus of the Chosen series or any other entertainment media as the Truth, the Way, and the Life that is Jesus Christ of the scriptures.
Jesus not knowing what to say for the Sermon on the Mount was a big ol pile of poo poo kaa kaa. Any "limitation" associated with Jesus is one of his own voluntary participation and condescension for the sake of humanity. To present his humanity in any other sense is poo poo kaa kaa
@@Yo0264That’s why Armenian Church is the best, unlike orthodox Church that says Jesus has two Natures (divine and human) Armenian church claims Miaphysitism which emphasizes Christs unity of Human and Devine Natures into one Nature! Armenian church is the oldest church that must say something!
Lots of folks here that are upset that Jesus is depicted as a charismatic and inspirational person during His time on earth. The Chosen allows for people today to find some commonality with the Gospel. That leads to curiosity and questions about the person of Jesus. Naturally leading some to a Christ centered church and the reading of that big dusty book on the shelf. This show has expanded the reach of Christianity to many who never would have had that exposure.
I e been praying for years for help for my family. My mother is on the brink of homelessness, my brother who was able help no longer can; he’s now on the brink. I just moved into the shed in order to help with his mortgage. My entire family is on the brink. I can’t expect any help anymore, but I guess I still hope…for me, through it, without more of the Holy Spirit…I’m a person. I’m limited. Please help
It's a good thing that soap opera'ing the Gospels wasn't tradition for the past 2000 years, or we'd be left with no idea what the source material represented.
Jordan Peterson confessed that he believes in the resurrection and commonly wears suits decorated with orthodox iconography. I'd say he's Christian, but he doesn't want to call himself anything because he doesn't want to be "claimed" by any one group.
Master and Margarita - I loved that book as an atheist, later hated it as a Christian. Jesus is shown as some confused wimp Bar Nocri (or some similar name)
Peterson named some books and his answer was "that probably eliminates me as a reader but I'll try". As a known to gospel I have a same reaction for The Chosen show. I rather invest my time studying the bible then watching the show but I'll try.
Dr. Peterson obviously didn't like the show but was trying not to insult the guy. I agree, the show is focused on trying to bring Christ down to our level, when the goal of Scripture is to raise us up to His.
Then why did he say he liked it? It was obvious to you that he was lying when he said “the cinematography and acting were very good and I an more than happy to continue watching the show” What are you talking about 😂
The entire purpose for Jesus being born was to bring the divine down to our level, so that we may understand and be saved. None of us are capable of being brought up to His level. Jesus is God.
@@aaronkristo858 Paul is very clear in his letter to Timothy that Jesus is NOT GOD. 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV) "For there is ONE God, and one mediator between God and men, the MAN Christ Jesus;" And Peter is very clear on the goal of evereyone who claims to believe... "Be holy as I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16)
@twenty-fivethirty-six3946 what about John 1:1 or where Jesus says he and the father are one. Jesus also says I am in the father as the father is in me. There are loads of verses that prove Jesus is God, he isn't the father but he is still God.
A lot of words but not much said. The producer of the chosen was obly looking for an applause and a job well done. He didnt care to listen to Dr Peterson, very poor interview, let the Dr talk please.
I thought he was looking to see what someone who thinks a little differently thinks of his show. It's trying to see how the show impacts people with different backgrounds and perspective. Good question and Jordan's elaborative response (book recommendations!) is also well done. The kind of dialog you want to hear.
It's the other way around. This was a Jordan Peterson Podcast interviewing Dallas Jenkins. It is Dr. JP that should let his guest talk. JP kept interrupting Dallas who was trying to answer his questions.
@@massepierre I didn't know Peterson was interviewing him - this makes much more sense. And yes I'll agree with you, JP has traditionally treated his podcast as 'his' and the guests are just that, a guest, and he talks more than them lol
There's a difference between being proud and being excited about something. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3
jesus turning water into wine as a favor for a wedding is probably the most human thing to do. jesus is god in a mans body but also human so him showing human emotions shouldn't mean that this is undermining his divinity. on the contrary. its a divine expression of human emotions
I watched season 1 episode 1 and haven’t returned. My problem is simple: I don’t want Hollywood writers putting words in Jesus’ mouth. If his dialogue was confined to the words of scripture, no issues. That is not the case, however.
I still watch the show, but they concocted a girlfriend for Thomas and then killed her off, giving Thomas a reason to doubt Jesus. They have no right to take dramatic liberties that far
@@ericlaw171 the short answer is you can't you end up with a distant aloft unrelatable Jesus in any media. This people don't believe in media of any kind in dramatized format to convey the Gospels period.
For what it's worth, the original manuscripts of the gospels and the new testament would have in all likelihood been in Greek, which wasn't the language Jesus would have spoken and was not directly written by Jesus and not always first-hand accounts and finally were very likely not written for a time after Jesus' death and resurrection. I believe the word is as God intended, but I wouldn't be too quick to discount God's willingness to speak through the perceived flaws in our communication. There are many details we do not know, and so long as things are not outright rejected, changed or go against what we know and understand, I do not blame anyone for being able to connect to the stories in this show. But I understand the tension! I do think a strong sense of awareness and intentionally testing what is said on Jesus' (and other's) account is smart.
I couldn’t stand this interview.. Jordan is one of those people that feels the need to debunk and dive into things so emotionally.. seriously. I felt as if I was watching an actual therapy session
I don’t like the idea of THE SAVIOR AND KING being depicted in any ways, however if this art brings people to CHRIST, then who am i to judge or complain
We don't even know if what's in the Bible is accurate due to the church and potential human editorializing, manipulating, and error. The only thing that one can know with certainty is the love Christ had for those he came into contact with. So capture that love. You capture Jesus. Everything else is potentially flawed and altered. Focus on the love, gratitude and forgiveness.
If you think the bible has been manipulated, you lack a fundamental understanding of historical documents, how they're preserved, handled, and interpreted. The new testament alone, there are over 2,000 scrolls and fragments of scrolls scattered in universities and museums across the world. How do you manipulate and change that? Are you proposing that somebody broke into 500+ museums and universities, altered the original ancient manuscripts in a way that is undetectable, then snuck back out without getting caught? Also you can't change the gospel of Matthew in one museum without someone noticing. So you'd have to move fast enough that when they go to double check it against another manuscript somewhere else, your crazy perfect, undetectable alterations match each other. That is literally one of the stupidest, most poorly thought-out conspiracy theories I have ever heard of.
Jesus is God made flesh. The Chosen portrays him more like just a man with some fancy x-man like mutant abilities with him and his entourage of body guards and PR men aka disciples travelling around Judea like a circus side show. Keep in mind it's all produced by Hollywood which means lots of rainbow alphabet people were involved.
Jesus was humbled in flesh when He came to earth as a human being. He was limited by His humanity during that time. The miracles He performed while He walked the earth were done so by way of the Father. Angel Studios who produces The Chosen is not a Hollywood studio and is completely autonomous from that system.
Jesus never laughed? What makes you say he didn’t? We don’t have every single word Jesus spoke in the Bible but I Imagine he spoke more than what we have presented. There’s a huge portion of his life missing that we have no clue as to what happened. Jesus is God yes, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t Human. He had human emotions like anger, sadness, happiness. Jesus cried, that we know of, twice. There’s nothing that says “Jesus never laughed”
@@loremasterghosty exactly I wrote comment before you that he never took a sh*t becaue its not written but got automoderated by f*cking youtube censorship
@@loremasterghosty The Bible never says that Jesus laughed. So lets just make it up! Lets point to a show that's making things up about Jesus and talk about how humanizing and amazing it is to see Jesus being more like us than what the Bible portrays! Nothing could be wrong with that!
@@porscheguy19 To say Jesus never laughed is to deny part of his humanity. You’re right, it never mentions it, but the Bible doesn’t mention a lot about Jesus, but to deny basic things that every human, including Jesus, has done, is simply wrong. While yes, They are taking creative liberties for the show, but that’s just it, it’s just a show.

I agree with Dr. P in that sentiment about how too many depictions of Jesus are too focused on his perfection and not his simple human needs
