Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify all the information being posted about about you and the show. On a more positive note, The Chosen helped bring my husband back to Jesus and for that it will always hold a spot in my heart. Thank you for all you and everyone who works on the show do. Praying for all of you. And can't wait for season three!💓
“The show is not a replacement for scripture.” ❤️ I’m glad to hear you say this, because many people are putting the show in that place (not your fault). Thanks for the show, pointing people to Jesus, the word, and the local church.
For what it's worth, Jack, Dallas has said that since the beginning. In fact, I think the "Binge Jesus" slogan doesn't mean "The Chosen"; it means "Open your Bible and get into the Word."
Yeah people just don't understand. Sad news for Dallas , people especially Christians will continue to criticize the chosen in a bad way no matter how much he explains why it isn't a replacement for scripture. Because people just don't listen,so it is what it is i guess .The chosen creators should just carry on and ignore the negative reviews unless they actually do something wrong.
Actually, it's entirely his fault. Proverbs 30:6 is quite clear: "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." I've just found out about this show, yet even a little research has revealed that he's added numerous incidents of his own invention to the Gospel accounts. He's put words into Jesus' mouth that we have absolutely no record of Jesus ever saying. And why? To rake in millions of dollars in funding and further his own filmmaking interests? Call me crazy, but I've found the records we have to be sufficient. Not only do I feel it's unnecessary to bloat them with scenarios of my own imagining, but I'd be afraid to do so.
Yes, there have been scenes created around Scripture, however the scenes as created are well within the realms of probably. As you may be aware, the scripts are reviewed by a panel consisting of a Catholic theologian, an evangelical theologian, and a Messianic Jewish Rabbi. They agree that the scenarios are within the context of the time, and well may have happened in much the same way. In all cases, the creators are upfront with the fact that they are not replacing Scripture, and would expect that the viewers would take the time to delve deeper into the Word. In as much as the Passion of the Christ movie used the 'visions' of a Catholic nun to fill in some of the blanks, so is Dallas trying to make the Jesus of Scripture more accessible to those seeking a personal relationship with the Savior.
My opinion, as a Priest coming from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, is that the central problem is our attempt to evaluate anything concerning others. We are to examine ourselves in light of the truth of Jesus Christ as revealed to us. It is a mirror that allows us to see ourselves. It is not helpful as Christians for us to evaluate anyone other than ourselves. Leave the rest to God.
So if you accept LDS as Christians, who deny the divinity of Christ (Jesus is a god not God Almighty, and a spirit child of the Father), then do we open our arms to Muslims as our brothers in the faith also (since they view Jesus as the Messiah)? It IS important to know who are your brethren, who are a part of the body of believers, and those who are wolves in sheeps clothing. What would you say?
@@dr.j5642 No. LDS shares more with Orthodoxy than Protestants share with orthodoxy. Makes Protestants the outsiders. LDS share the theology of divination or people can become holy. Share the bible should be worshipped rather the teachings of Jesus and to others contain truth. That the Son came from the Father. That the eucharist must be done as per Jesus. Baptism is required. Keeping the commandments. That priesthood was ordained by Jesus to the apostles and down the line. You cannot preach except you have been anointed. The church Jesus founded had a hierarchy. Not someone setting up a new church on every church block.
Dearest Dallas, "The Chosen may be the only Bible some humans are exposed to." I referred The Chosen to a fine gentleman who just didn't read the Bible. After watching The Chosen his love for Jesus was sparked and he is now attending weekly church Services! Keep up the great job! The Chosen is so awesome as are you, the cast, and the entire team! 👍❤️
I can't imagine how hard it must be to live in a "fish bowl", where your every word and action is scrutinized. Your attempt to clarify past statements appears as an act of humility to me and I for one appreciate this. Is there really any Believer alive that has never acted in a way, or spoke in a way that today they'd not regret? I think not. God help us take our eyes off others, stop judging, and focus on Jesus Christ and loving and serving Him and reflecting His image to others. Thank you for bringing us The Chosen and shining a light towards the only One that can save and rescue us and provide perfect peace and joy. Looking forward to Season 3.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue. No matter how sly or how sweet, words matter! That's why it's important to study and search the scriptures so you can sniff out false teachers!

Mormon Jesus is primarily an example to follow. Biblical Jesus says, “By nature, you are dead in your transgressions and sins. I can make you alive.” Mormon Jesus says, “You are born with divine potential; here are some pointers on progression.” Biblical Jesus says, “I am God from eternity, who became man to live under the law and die for you.” Mormon Jesus says, “I was once a man who became a god, and you can too.” Biblical Jesus says, “It is finished. ” Mormon Jesus says, “I got things started, now obey my commandments to finish the job.” Biblical Jesus says, “I am the way.” Mormon Jesus says, “I will show you the way.” Biblical Jesus says, “The Father and I are one.” Mormon Jesus says, “The Father and I have one purpose.” Biblical Jesus says, “I paid your debt. Now, you’re set free!” Mormon Jesus says, “I paid your debt. Now you owe me.” Biblical Jesus is the creator of all things. Mormon Jesus is a created being. Biblical Jesus says, “Many will go to hell.” Mormon Jesus says, “Few will go to hell.”
@debbieledbetter5147 .... So true....🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊 we are called to judge righteously.... mostly with unconditional LOVE...TRUE LOVE covers multitudes of sins🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He should feel the weight. The message of Jesus is no small thing and must be presented with care and 100% accuracy. The seriousness of the gospel must be felt. Jesus is not trivial.
@@DefenderoftheCross and that emoji shows a side of you that is lacking in grace, I have read the wicked hatred you are spreading about Dallas, the very things you are saying reflects your own heart, so stop judging Dallas’s heart, only God can do that, and you are not omniscient.
Dallas, you really don’t have to explain to anyone what you did or didn’t say, Jesus is your Lord and only to him are you answerable. I have seen some of the ungracious comments that some have posted, and all they are doing is reflecting what is in their own hearts, these are the Christian police as I like to call them, if you don’t cross their T’s and dot their I’s, they get all legalistic because they think they hold all the keys to the kingdom, simply they don’t, just pray for them that the Lord would give them a revelation of Himself that would rid them of their legalistic hearts. 🙏🙏
@@andyk2218 1. We are called to judge false teachers by their fruits. Matthew 7:15-20; Romans 16:17-18; Ephesians 5:11; Titus 1:9; Jude 3-4. Why aren't you judging like we are commanded to do? 2. Pointing out how a false teacher is poisoning the Church and preaching a false gospel is the loving thing to do. Trying to shut up those who are pointing out error is hateful. 3. I am not judging Dallas Jenkins's heart. I am judging his bad theology and his bad works. So, your accusation is a strawman fallacy. 4. One doesn't have to be omniscient to see that Dallas Jenkins's theology is terrible. One just has to be biblically literate.
I am not part of the LDS church. I was raised as a Catholic. It doesn't matter to me who you had working on the show. The end result is something that is uniting people in a common way. Your portrayal of these real people is commendable. I appreciate the very human way each character has been shown
Wrong. Everything works together for Gods perfect plan but that doesn't mean that the event itself is good. The show could be nonbiblical and God would still find a way to use it.
@Accept Jesus as your savior I respect your ability to have your own perspective, and thoughts on the show, and this discussion thread. And you can still feel that I am wrong. But I stand by my comments. I still feel that this show is bringing people together: cast, crew, fans- non believers, and believers in such a way that they feel passionate enough to add their voice to the dialogue. And this is my point. And this is where I feel the differing factions of Christianity get it wrong. They are too busy admonishing each other, with their "we're the only ones who matter" attitudes. If you follow his example, then you would also embrace his wanting humanity to understand this. We are all human, nobody is better than anyone else. We all need to come together, and stop dividing ourselves.
One counterfeit church uniting with another counterfeit church is only exacerbating the deceptions of the myriad of denominations that make up the false counterfeit church system in the ecumenical movement. This is Satan's Babylon.
@@KennyD-bi3ec Here is the problem , Everyone is getting the wrong Idea of The Bible ,and of God and of Jesus. lds in no way have the same God or Jesus that is in The Bible or the chosen. The chosen teaches that God has always been God The Father and that Jesus is The only begotten Son of God. But none of these lds that are posting are posting are being honest or they just simply don't know what their church doctrines are. Because lets be honest the lds church believes and teaches in its doctrines the their god was first a man a human being and that he had many wives here on earth and he had sex with one of them who then gave birth to a son and called him jesus, and then their god had sex again and gave birth to another son and his name is lucifer. So lets be very clear about this The True Bible does not teach what lds teach and that show that you lds keep praising as well as praising the chosen creator Dallas Jenkins teaches what he teaches is the exact opposite of what you believe so why don't some of you lds stop being afraid to say what your church doctrine teaches don't be afraid to tell these ignorant Christians what you are keeping from them. At least other cults are not ashamed of their god and are at least honest in what they believe.
I have always been a believer but my husband has not, I was watching The Chosen one day and he sat and watched the entire season 2 with me and when it was over asked when season 3 was going to be on.... THAT, is why what your doing in important,, I thank God for The Chosen and all those involved in the making,, you are all reaching so many that really NEED to hear ...
The Thumb's Down is just to get your and others attention. Because your comment highlights one of the several DANGERS that The Chosen brings. While I love the show, have thoroughly enjoyed every episode, and recommend it often there is a DANGER that it will lead MANY to Idolatry and ultimately eternal torment in the lake of fire because it is lacking in the Theological Department. Granted, that's NOT what it's about but it's a truth nonetheless that can't be ignored. And when folks see comments like your "I have always been a believer" and then couple that with seeing the show and enjoying it they too may come to hold a false theology such as that. Or, worse, even think they can define their theology by the show! NO, you have NOT always been a Believer. If you truly meant that and believe that then you need to be saved.
@@magnetpi99 - See my comments to Teri. You two are in the same boat. Your Soteriology is completely unbiblical. See Romans 1 and 3 for starters. And if you wanna replace "God" with "Jesus" then you can jump on over to Jn. 6:44.
I love your comment about not knowing someone else's heart and mind. I am Catholic. I have only one good Catholic friend. My other good friends are non-denominational Christians, LDS, Episcopal, or Lutheran. I married a Methodist who went to 16 years of Catholic school. Taking the time to talk to others respectfully has been fruitful for all of us. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing believers.
Katherine, I do believe you have the right attitude. Not sure what to say to comments such as given in reply to you above. Except a house divided in this new world will most likely be easier to be taken down by those who are truly 'not Christian'. I believe I would rather have one of your friends covering my back when things go bad.
I'm Catholic, but I basically have left the Catholic church because it has been infiltrated by evil, and I know there are good Catholic priests out there (I see some on TH-cam), but I don't have any around me. I honestly don't know what church to go to, of any denomination. So I sit at home and practise my faith privately. But there's a lot about being Catholic that I love, such as learning about Mary, learning about the angels etc.
Hey, Dallas 🌸 Hope you're not being harassed. I represent the silent multitudes who feel you have been abundantly clear and transparent on this issue. Appreciate you and praying for you.
Dallas, you are always going to have someone who is gonna stir the water backwards! Don't let it bother you! It lets you know you are on the right track! We Love everything you are doing, changing lives!!! Lots of love from Baton Rouge,. La. !!!!!
🌺🌺🌺Yes Dallas, here, here is another one of the silent multitudes who support you and I'm forever grateful for the Jesus, my Jesus, our Lord Jesus, that you are giving us this life-giving portrayal of. Thank you again.🌱🌱🌱 Cristina in Texas
I never heard what Dallas said, which he is clarifying here, but I was raised in the LDS church and I was taught things about Jesus that simply aren't true. I love his analogy about spotting counterfeit bills. I'm focused on getting to know our authentic Lord.
I'm a member of the LDS Church, and I've been binge watching The Chosen over the last few weeks. I can't adequately put into words how deeply this show affects me. I cry every episode multiple times. Thank you so much for making this series, for bringing the gospels to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. Every character is so well written and likeable! Even some if the "bad guys" are given realistic and complex personalities that make them feel authentic. Because I have an autistic son, I especially love the character of Matthew, and I just want to hug him! Of course, Jesus himself is portrayed as everything one could want in the Savior who patiently loves his followers, and who teaches them with both wisdom and humor! I don't know if I could be comfortable in the presence of God if he wasn't a little bit of a tease. This show is groundbreaking. Thank you!
Gee im catholic n we agree! lol im just joking.. but yes! what a moving show. I so love it. just found it, binge watching here also love it. Im not to worried God is gonna ask me at gates if im Catholic, LDS, Baptist, or what ever.. I mean come on people! LOL ok God Bless!
Hey I’m a born and raised Mormon and this is my absolute favorite show! It have revamped or reignited the fire and love I have for Jesus and our Heavenly Father! Also got me more tuned in with the Holy Ghost. Many episodes have broke me to where I needed to just pause and sit and let it out, alone. I don’t care what others believe in, I love everyone and will support everyone. I love your comment and couldn’t agree more. :) ❤
Prayers for your son. However, I must would be remiss if I did not warn you that Christ built His Church on St Peter (St Matthew 16:18), not Joseph Smith Jr. Do not follow a false church created by man over eighteen hundred years after Christ's earthly ministry.
@@batmaninc2793 read the verses again. Jesus was using a play on words with Peter's name, but the "rock" upon which his church would be built was Revelation, not any man, Joseph Smith Jr. or Peter. God knows how fallible man is, which is why we are to go straight to the Source.
Hi Dallas. I’m an Australian Lutheran Pastor and we are about to show The Chosen to a group of young men who have drug and alcohol and mental health issues. They are also semi-literate and struggle with reading the bible. These guys have no idea of history, context and never heard of Jesus. I can see Christ in your wonderful, quality work. Good work, thank you and God bless you and keep you.
You can show them the Gospel of Jhon, the Gospel of Matthew ad the book of acts is 100% the BIBLE word by word is free on TH-cam, it will not be wise to show new born christians or unbeivers a show like the chosen that is not Biblical it will only confuse them. What they need is to TRUTH. You will not the Truth and the truth will set you free
@@raulmartinez429 With all due respect, the Chosen is actually the perfect launching point for discussing the Gospels; nothing about this series muddies the truth.
@@raulmartinez429 Every Christian parent I know who has young children has introduced their children to Jesus through children's picture Bibles and cartoon movies and flannel graph stories. No, these are not straight scripture, but they are stepping stones to understanding the full truth of the Bible.
Joseph Smith was one that Jesus was warning his children about. He was a false profit.. You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free We are without a doubt living in the last generation that Jesus foretold before he returns and raptures his bride out. Bickering is exatuslly5
I love Jesus Christ, and I'm always concerned at how He is portrayed in film so I was cautious in watching the Chosen, but I am sooooo happy with the spirit of this production! Thank you for putting this together and I say whatever denominations you work with to bring this forth, go for it!! As long as it continues to bring people closer to Christ, it is of God! And I love your loaves and fishes "logo"-- the idea that we bring our meager offering and He multiplies it into something amazing! The definition of this show!
I recently posted in a group of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, giving my heartfelt recommendation for The Chosen. And as the comments flooded in, they were ALL in praise of the show or saying thanks for the recommendation because they've heard good things but haven't seen it yet. So yes, while the show is not produced by the Church, many many members have received confirmation from the Spirit that it is truthful and good!
I Agree with what you said about The Chosen. I to have started to read the Bible really really, really for the first time in my life. So to Dallas and the Entire Cast, crew, writers, EVERYBODY Please 🙄 keep bringing this series to us. Cuz I need it. Thank 😊 🙏 😊 🙏 You
I am LDS and love The Chosen. Everything it is. Not only the content, actors, staff, etc but also that it's being distributed around the world at no cost to viewers to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a time when so many are turning to other things trying to find happiness & fulfillment. So grateful for Dallas's attitude and view on different religions and the Bible. Thanks for clarifying and not throwing LDS people in general under the bus as so many are quick to do. I love the level of respect for different points of view while holding solid to the Gospel foundation. I will continue to donate to the production & distribution to help further the work

Please stop worrying what the critics have to say ! So many people are looking for some supposed inaccuracies in your series The Chosen!!! Very few critics are experts on the Bible or understand context in Biblical History!
@@TheRealRenn I'm not going to argue with you over events that happened 2000 yrs ago and you were not a witness to ? Believe what you want. You could be right with your criticism and you might be wrong? Try thinking before you speak.
So ridiculous! Let it go...Proverbs 12:15-25 Foolish people always think they are right. Wise people listen to advice. When a fool is annoyed, he quickly lets it be known.
Truth is always revealed if we wait and watch. Stand strong and thank you for your commitment to bring the Gospel to everyone. God's Blessings on The Chosen!! ❤️
"The show is not the end game..." I've heard this from Jerry Jenkins regarding the Left Behind book series as well. So important for everyone to remember-it is a step into exposing people to the character of Christ as revealed in the Bible. There is a disclaimer in the very first episode of the very first season. The Chosen is NOT a replacement for the Gospel, it's up to each of us to study scripture and have truth revealed too us by the Holy Spirit. For me personally, it has driven me deeper into the gospels and put flesh to the flawed people Jesus chose to surround Himself with. Thank you Dallas for your thoughtful statement.
The show is not the end game? So . . . there's an "end game" in all of this? That's a horrifying statement. The Antichrist has an end game also. It may look a lot like this. The Mormon Church is not a Christian church. They may be good people but they are NOT followers of Jesus Christ. Do you understand that? No good will come of believers in business with unbelievers preaching the gospel "together". The Apostle Paul made that very clear. You'll see when you get to "that part" of the book.
When people say "that's not in the Bible!" I just remind them, a lot of things weren't in the Bible. The apostles had lives that weren't described in detail, Yeshuah said way more things and performed many miracles that were not recorded.
I agree on both accounts, the chosen is giving us an opportunity to bring us closer to the savior of where we are in our lives already. Each one of our journeys will look different. This is an opportunity for me to draw even closer to my savior! And I have felt strongly the HG teaching me principles from these actors and actresses sharing these stories of our saviors life.
Wonderful explanation Nancy, I agree totally with you. there will always be disagreement with those who have a weak or distant relationship with Christ, and only want to be recognized for voicing opinions, opinions are like noses, we all have one and they're all different, they did it to Jesus and He said they would do it to His true followers as well, if they were truly followers they would be praying not criticizing to cause disencention and discouraging new seekers and believers 🙏
The problem is the Christ presented in The Chosen is nothing like the true Christ in scripture. However we have a vast number of professing Christians who are too lazy to read their bible (how you really get to know the true Christ) and would rather get a fake Jesus from a well produced TV show.
As an LDS , people may label me, judge me, condemn me, but one thing is very clear. I love the work you do, I love Jesus Christ and that being said. No one can take away the Heartfelt love my spirit feels when I watch the Chosen and apply it to my own personal love of Jesus Christ. Thank you!! Each person has their own relationship with the Savior. I judge no one. I’m just grateful for my own experience of which YOU are a huge part.
Whether it’s not biblical or biblical what I learnt the most in the LDS Church is to have faith in God, to forgive and repent and that’s enough for me and the Chosen just makes the cherry on top..I’m a Child of God and that’s what matters I don’t spend time on things that don’t matter it’s a waste of time God Loves us all whether He is God or a God I don’t care He answers all our prayers and I have found Him by seeking Him diligently through the scriptures and I feel closer to Him
Thank you, Dallas for consistently role modeling how a true Christian behaves! You are doing God's work in more ways than one. "Tribalism" is indeed the biggest problem in the Christian world. Not the different doctrines, beliefs or interpretations of scripture, but the need to exclude others from the fold because we think our doctrines, beliefs or interpretations are superior and exclusive. If Christians feel a need to "stand against" something, how about standing against the growing tide of evil, apathy and suffering in the world? Its impossible to believe in a different Jesus than someone else because there is only one and He exists independent of any attempts to define Him. Our job is to follow Him and try to be like Him, not gate-keep who can and cannot be a part of His fold.
Muslims have Jesus in their Quran as a highly respected prophet. Is that the same Jesus of the Bible? Do they believe in the same Jesus we know of from our Holy Bible? Doctrine and theology matter. The first commandment is 'thou shall have no other gods before me and make no graven images'. The number one sin in the heart of all men is to reject God and make a god of their own imagination or become a lower case 'g' god themselves and rule themselves. That's why the first commandment was put their- to distinguish Yaweh from all other gods.
AMEN. let's all stop worrying about group mentality and focus on the main unifying point- Jesus is the Christ. God is love. Share. Live as he did. Love all as He did. The End. Forget titles, give up "ownership" of Christ and go and do his great commission.
Thank you, Dallas, for the beautiful depiction you and your team has created. I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for His atonement. The Chosen has helped me better connect with Him. I strive daily to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am grateful for others who do not share all of the same traditions or beliefs that I do, but who love Jesus, and strive to be more like Him. The only view that matters of whether I am a disciple and Christian is that of Jesus himself, and He will share that with me Himself one day.
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
This Roman Catholic has really been enjoying the show. Keep doing what you are doing. I have so much respect for you and your work. It must be so difficult to create something in this world today because everyone will comment on it and everyone will overinterpret and social media gets very strange. Don't let the critiques get into your head and make you start second guessing yourself.
That makes two of us❣️ In fact I actually found out about the existence of the show from Fr. Mark Goring's TH-cam channel, a wonderful Catholic Priest who couldn't say enough good things about "The Chosen." Let's all pray for Dallas and the cast and crew that GOD would keep inspiring them to even greater excellence and protect them from all the evil that would like to stop this wonderful series because it is drawing people to our wonderful Savior JESUS 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖
@@Daughterofzion1-p9i Thank you, I am. >>>>>John 3:5 [5]Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
As a Latter-day Saint who gets TIRED of being told what I believe or what I don’t, I really appreciate what you’ve just said, Dallas. I think we could all use a little more context and nuance before labeling someone as “bad” or “good”, and I think your show has the power (and is already doing it) to bring so many people of different and even opposing creeds, doctrines, etc, closer together to the REAL Lord Jesus Christ. I understand the extremely difficult situation you must be in, because you can’t favor the Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic, or Latter-day Saint viewpoint over another, and you have to get Jewish tradition and history correct on top of it. Thank you for being fearless and listening to God and the Holy Spirit as you create this wonderful material that will bring us all together, and nor so far apart!
@@definit1on119 well, I suppose His body was created, just like yours. His spirit is eternal, with no beginning and no end. So as Joseph Smith taught is uncreated. I know there are people out there that do not like us and have borne false witness against us. And it is frustrating as a member of the LDS faith. But people seem to like to believe the satirized version on our beliefs rather than the real ones.
@@definit1on119 NO! Or He could not have PAID FOR the WHOLE WORLD of humanity that He CREATED. He could only have paid for 1 other human being. God the Father PAYS HIS OWN BILLS and unlike the United States (that prints money up when it needs to pay its bills with money it doesn't have backed up with GOLD), GOD doesn't "print up a Savior" to pay His liabilities that the breaking of His Law creates: sin IS the breaking of the Law, I Jn.3:4. God pays for His OWN ASSETS AND LIABILITIES in the "business of Being God!"
@@arminius504 Correct: LDS are sunday-keepers, and have idols and that Book of Mormon that God warned about ("adding to" His Word - like God's Apostles weren't good enough to canonize Scripture - they failed: WRONG!).
I am not LDS, but even if this show was produced by LDS believers, I would still watch it. The care taken with the word and the production value merit everyone’s time to view the show.
How about Jesus rehearsing the surmount on the mount... I can't wrap my mind around that one. Jesus IS the Word. He was in the beginning with God and he is God. Why would he need to rehearse?
@Renn So don't watch it. Apparently, you want a word for word rendition and not a dramatization. Even if you sit and read just whatever version of scripture you think is right, you are going to play it in your mind with whatever nit-picking colored glasses you are wearing. And you will ASSume you are right, of course. A little self righteous, don't you think. HUM, no wonder Jesus didn't like Pharisees.
@@dukeellington1987 I thought of that too but think of it this way - think of what an experience that was for Matthew. There were countless things that Jesus didn't need to do. But He did them for us, so we could see and learn. I can imagine Him rehearsing so that Matthew would have a chance to write it all down, so he could have an intimate experience in understanding how the Master's mind worked. Could this not have happened as one of the many ways Jesus did things specifically to involve men and women in His work?
Watching the show has made me want to read my Bible more. I think it's so cool when I come across some of the stories in the old testament that you cover in the show because I can see it happening in my head and helps ground the word into reality, which makes me wanna read even more. I truly appreciate what you're doing with the show and am really looking forward to season 3.
One of my favorite aspects of this show is the context I get that isn't available in the scriptures. Having an understanding of every day life, the nature of the relationship between the Romans, Jews, Jewish leaders, and the different classes can help lend assistance in understanding the scriptures. Kinda like understanding Isaiah! Context and understanding the references is helpful.
....if your new to scripture....start reading the Gospel of John. That's the number one book for beginners. It's the Book where l got saved. It shows us in John 1:1 and John 1:14 that Jesus is God in the Flesh. Not God the Father...but God the Son. We serve a Triune God ...a Trinity. ( Father, Son and Holy Spirit.) God Bless...📜🌷✝️
@@michellecheriekjv4115 I agree, watching the show made me want to go back to the basics and just seek to know Jesus more, and I started by slowly reading through the book of John again! I love how this show puts a face to some of these people we read about and it does make me want to read my Bible more too, to see if things really happened the way they portray them.
Dallas, thank you and I appreciate where you are coming from. I am a HUGE fan of The Chosen and recommend it to people all the time. I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 30 years. We have sometimes been nicknamed LDS or Mormon which is sad because it leaves out the most important part of our religion: Jesus Christ. He is our Master and Savior. That is why The Chosen has such a large following from members of my church. We are indeed Christian. It is not a mistake to label us as such. So rest assured. It is NOT a mistake to ever call us Christians. We are proud to be so labelled. I am not incorrectly speaking for an entire group of people. Our name and website and all of our resources are abundantly clear on this matter.
@Juniper Cammack I've been a member for over 50 years and I'd be honored to have you say the same things I would have said. I agree completely. I'm sure many millions of other members do as well. ~ Ron Vincent ~
Those trapped in the lies of false churches are also victims of this world that ought to receive the true good news of Jesus. It's quite possible that learning about Jesus through something like the Chosen is what saves them. The show does not hide the fact that Jesus claims to be God.
Love and appreciate all your work on chosen. Was in hospital recently and tried to share Jesus Christ so I wrote my name on the whiteboard in the room I was and wrote Chosen. Got to have many conversations about the show and of course Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour. Thank you & more blessings to you All IJCMN. Shalom
Dallas I actually did watch the beginning of one of the “anti” chosen TH-cam videos. I was wanting to hear what the problems was. I very soon realised it was not worth a listen and switched channels! I only wanted to say after listening to your video today that I pray for “The Chosen”, cast, crew and all involved every day 🙏🏻 and that you will successfully continue this wonderful work to completion. You are doing a great job all of you so stay focused and keep going! (I don’t need to tell you whose work this is, all the “anti” stuff) I am Catholic and love the show and I am not into all this judging!!! Anyone who truly loves God knows He wants us to love each other…. God bless 🙏🏻❤️
Fellow Catholic here and I agree with you that "The Chosen" is representing the greatest of the 3 Theological values LOVE stupendously❣️ Who has not just bawled their eyes out at the aching tenderness of JESUS with the leper begging Him not to turn away, or with Simon stressed out to desperation suddenly getting a boat-sinking load of fish, or Thomas stupified by the Water turning to wine. Or Mother Mary washing JESUS' feet and bloodied hands as the disciples cringe in shame over their childish fight throwing their egos around while JESUS has been working Himself bloody. Yeah I bet the lord of darkness is gnashing his teeth in rage at all the LOVE that this show is generating and spreading. May GOD continue inspiring Dallas and cast and crew to even greater heights. JESUS King of MERCY we trust in You💖💖💖✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏
Denise McCormick, good for you. True discernment. There’s actually a video on Doreen Virtues’ channel where a scholar says we’re breaking one of the 10 Commandments. The one about do not worship false idols. Talk about people don’t know what they’re talking about
@@michaelbrickley2443 It's impossible for nonisraelites to break commandments they were never given or ordered to obey - talk about not knowing what your talking about geez Michael
Dallas, The dialogue of the show is so perfect!!!!! The way The Savior is portrayed is exactly the way I have always envisioned Him. What a heart and what a message! I have never in my lifetime seen a better series. My family gets goosebumps and we shed tears of hope as we see these magnificent stories told in a fashion of beauty and truth.The Holy Spirit does testify of it to ones heart...We are an LDS family and we love The Messiah too! May God Bless you and all your efforts...
Just wanted to let you know that when I started watching The Chosen I was watching to see how closely the show followed the actual Scriptures and was very pleased with the degree of effort to stick to simply the Scriptures! Without any hint of any attempt to convert to any particular domination. I love the series because it helps make the different stories of Scripture be more real when you can see faces and mannerisms and in turn it leads to a better understanding. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see Scripture come to life! I am so very sorry that you have been put thru such undo criticism and I pray that it does not deter you from what I consider an anointed work. God bless you and all those who are dedicated to this project!
@@SaintsLoveThyNeighbor why does that bother you? Needing help doesn't imply weakness. Jesus needed all the disciples or he wouldn't have chosen any of them. Why do you conclude that infers weakness upon Christ?
Dallas I’m grateful for you, your humility, and your love for God’s Word and the clarity in how you portray it in the series. I can say my love for Jesus has deepened because of it and I am grateful for it. Praying for God’s hand on the chosen as it moves forward. Cheering you on!
Mr. Jenkins, I have listened to this entire video and agree with much of what you say. I am a huge fan of The Chosen and will continue to buy and watch this series as long as you all keep making it. I have been searching for God all my years of living and I have come to the conclusion that he has also been looking for me too. I am a believer of Christ 100% and always will be. God did NOT say I'm giving Hollie the job to judge people therefore I can move on. I am an imperfect human and do NOT judge anyone for any reason and stay in my own lane and continue to work on myself. I hope others do as well. God bless everyone and I pray he leads us all far away from our imperfections and bring us closer to him.
Actually, God did give you the job of judging others. It is called discernment in the bible and you will know them by their fruits is also in the bible.
God said to teach and correct people using his word. If you know that your fellow man is going to hell for their wrong beliefs and fail to warn them, you are just as responsible for their doom as they are. Ezekiel 3:18, NIV: When I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.
@@CommandoJenkins Yes we can warn, teach, preach, but not pester people to the point where they are totally put off as they have their agency to choose God or Satan.
Dallas, Thank you for the clarity & pointing us all back to God’s word. We initially were drawn to Season 1 during the Covid Lockdown & were so impressed by the Biblical accuracy of THE CHOSEN that we watched the full season 10-times and began contributing to the crowd-funding of Season 2. We have since supported and were extras in both the Sermon on the Mount (Frozen-Chosen) and in the F5K as well. We are so grateful for the continued faithfulness you and your entire crew have demonstrated in season 3 and share THE CHOSEN daily & pray for its continued impact on people around the world.
So sorry you had to deal with this. I love Jesus. The Chosen is my favorite depiction of the Savior EVER. Ever. I feel the spirit so strongly when I watch the series and honestly feel like it helps me to know my Savior better. I believe these complaints and arguments are from the adversary because it takes our attention away from where it truly needs to be: sharing the Chosen with everyone!! I am LDS. Every LDS person I have spoken to about this series loves it like I do. Dallas you are a blessing.
I am a Cradle Catholic who came back to Jesus a year and a half ago. I agree with you 100% on the depiction of Jesus in The Chosen. It has helped me form a more personal relationship with Him. Made me truly love him deeply in my heart. Whatever is going on with The Chosen, it is clear to me that it is guided by the Holt Spirit. It is bringing many to Christ! I have a dear friend who has introduced her daughter to Jesus and the Salvation story through The Chosen. Her daughter is 15, not baptized, and is discerning Christianity. She really likes the show, and we both agree, this is the most extraordinary portrayal or Jesus Christ either of us has ever seen. Pax vobis! 🙏🕊
@@latter-daysaintbatman2679 Dear Saint Batman, we don’t pray TO Mary and the Saints. We pray THROUGH Mary and the Saints, asking for intercession. I won’t enter a debate about the Catholic Church. I won’t be swayed in my Faith in Jesus Christ or his one Holy, and Apostolic, Catholic Church. Pax vobis! 🌹
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ (LDS). I appreciate the work you all do. Your portrayal of Jesus is my favorite, by far. And I've seen a lot of them. Christ lives!
I love The Chosen series. It is so refreshing to see something good in this day and age. I speak for many , thank you. Getting to know all the characters of the Bible is remarkable. Can’t wait to actually meet the real one’s in Heaven . And yes I read my Bible daily, so I know that the Chosen is not a replacement to reading God’s Word. God’s blessings to you and all the people involved in this remarkable series.
It's a bummer with how much Dallas studies the bible, and talks about counterfeits ---He still thinks Mormons following the LDS beliefs, and love the same Jesus he has.
"I will make you fishers of men. And you are to gather as many as possible, all kinds. I will sort them out later." Our chosen church or religion is not the point. It is our individual relationship with God and His Son. Thank you, Dallas. This show does not replace my relationship with my Savior. It does not replace scripture. It does not replace my church. It supplements and enriches it. I remember watching the very first episode for the very first time. I knew I had found something special. I had been struggling for a long time with relating to my God. But he never left. I did. All I had to do was "look up."
The best thing that's happened IMO is The Chosen. I was drowning until The Chosen was brought to my attention. I thank God everyday because I've started really studying scripture whereas before I was just reading. Keep up the great work. I pray people stop dissecting every statement made and look internally. God bless you all
I am an active LDS member. My husband and I absolutely love The Chosen. I have not heard any of those comments that Dallas is defending or commenting about. We love the same Jesus Christ and all of the characters in the Chosen. It is unfortunate that people from all denominations just live one another because of our differences. We are looking forward to the 4th season and we appreciate all the work that has been put into making it available for the world to enjoy. ❤
1 Timothy 2:5, for there is one God and one mediator between God and Men, the man Christ Jesus. Isaiah 44:6, thus says the Lord, the king of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first and the last. And there is no God besides me. Isaiah 37:16: oh lord of hosts, the god of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim. You are the god, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the Earth. You have made heaven and earth.
Very few non LDS movies or videos are talked about during LDS church services but "The Chosen" has been referenced in talks and lessons over and over. I've been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for almost 46 years now and I cannot begin to express how much your work has uplifted me and brought me closer to and strengthened my testimony of the Savior. Thank you for all you're doing to bring light to this darkened world.
The Chosen series brings life into the scriptures especially for those of us who are visual learners sometimes more than someone just talking. Anyone who walks in the Spirit can discern properly while watching the series. Looking anxiously forward to Season 3!!! 🤗🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
GOD's WORD speaks to you when you read it. You are missing out on supernatural understanding if you do not read it. So read the WORD. Stop using visual learning as an excuse not to READ the WORD of GOD.
@@lorilfullermmd That’s not even what they said. I too am a visual learner. I read, but for something to be embedded to where I can fully understand, I need the help of visual aids. The Chosen has done that for many. Not just to understand but to feel the words and how they are connected to me.
Dallas, Thank you for all your transparency. To me personally, you've done an extraordinary job of making sure that what you've said is not misconstrued. I think you've even gone out of your way to make sure of that (not being misconstrued). I want to say that I prayed for something like this when I was an 11 yr that had reading/comprehension issues (severe learning disability) that I told him that I needed a some kind of visual. To me, first was the passion of the Christ and now the Chosen. Thank you for your obedience. This has been a tool to help my spectrum daughter who is between Matthew and Thomas relate better and understand what I've been trying to teach her for years. This has meant so much to me. God Bless you Dallas!
Orthodox here. Love the show and I'm gratefull for it! Can't wait for season 3. My Wife Catholic. Loves the show and is trying to get more people to watch it. Best friend non practicing Protestant loves the show! Binged it overnight when I introduced him to it. Bottom line is thank you Dallas and we're very grateful for the show!!
@@lydiabrown4887 haha it's truly is! Honestly with the chaos of the world affairs we're all dealing with... having Dallas make a show that brings the bible to life is really positive and something to look forwards to😊😊
Has anyone ever confronted you with 1st Timothy chapter 4? The Apostle Paul clearly warned us about a coming Church which would teach doctrines of demons and require abstinence from foods.
@@brianhale3678 and what does that have to do with a show ? If people domt have enough common sense to go look up their own facts for themselves thats on them. Pray for them.
@@abrahamkassis3138 Verse 3. 1 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV - 1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. The Catholic Church forbids its leadership to marry. The Orthodox have varying levels abstinence from foods, depending on the region and the time of year.
Yes! Let's give each other grace, love and patience. I can't imagine being in the spotlight and having everything I do and say scrutinized. You are doing an amazing job with the chosen! Thank you for all you are doing! I'm LDS and everyone I talk to that is LDS absolutely loves this show! It gives another perspective of Christ and His ministry that is so refreshing, real and respectful. Keep moving forward and letting the spirit guide. It's obvious that you are doing that!
The Chosen is wonderful and it uplifts my spirit. I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints and I do love The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thusly, I am Christian. I love that He is worshipped, no matter the Christian denomination. We need more of this type of program in the world today. The Savior needs all of us to share His gospel and live by His example of love and understanding.🙏😁❤️
May I ask what is the LDS's teaching on who Jesus is? Is it true that you believe Jesus to be Satan's brother? I notice you keep saying "the Saviour," which Jesus is our saviour, but do you worship Jesus as the one true God, as part of the trinity (Father, Son & Spirit)?
@@Matty_2_Tees I'd love to answer your questions if they are indeed asked in good faith: Yes, we believe Jesus is Jehova, the God of the Old Testament, and the great I AM. Yes, we believe that He, God the Father, and the Holy Ghost are one, but we do not believe in homoousios. We also believe that all are spirit children of God, including Satan and all the angels, making Christ our elder brother and making Satan our brother as well. We do not believe that this makes Christ any less holy.
@@tasamolic This is false. If you believe these things, good for you, but this is not what Mormonism teaches. According to Mormonism, Jesus is a man who achieved godhood, the same as others can achieve after they pass from this Earth. They do not believe that God, whom they call the first created being, is Jesus. If you believe in the Trinity (3 persons, but 1 God) good for you. I'm genuinely happy that you do, but that is not what the LDS Church believes, and that put you at odds with Mormonism as a whole.
@@samtr3992 this is absolutely incorrect. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I can tell you that we do not call ourselves Mormons and that we do not believe Jesus Christ is a man who achieved godhood. Jesus is Jehovah the Savior of the world. He is the Son of the Highest. My deliverer, Healer, and Savior. We worship the Father and the Son. It is arrogant to believe you know more about any other faith's beliefs than those who belong to it.
The show may be a "tool" or a "step", but to me, it is Wonderful. It shows the strengths and weaknesses of the disciples, and reveals our kind, loving, winsome Saviour, Jesus the Christ. It points us back to the Bible, and brings the Gospel to life. Keep up the good work, Dallas. I am looking forward to diving into Season 3.
How about you turn your television off because that’s why it’s called telly vision programming get it programing and spend that precious time praying or sticking your face in a Bible television is a lie it’s there to deceive us and no true Christian would ever dare watch that program. This man kissed the pope‘s hand the pope he is antichrist and he’s kissing his hand no man on this earth can forgive sins only Jesus Or the most high you are falling for a Satanic agenda please I beg of you turn this off
These are not real or biblically accurateportrails. Dallas said in an interview here on TH-cam with Melissa Dockerty that 95% of the show is not found in the Bible. So, the show isn’t a tool. It’s just Dallas‘s ticket to Hollywood and he got it deceiving Christians in the process. The Lord will say to Dallas depart from me I never knew you. He is lukewarm and God was few him from his mouth. Dallas is a heretic. This show is not from God but from the devil himself. Wake up you are being deceived. Mormon LDS and Christians do not love or worship the same Jesus. Their Jesus is a created being an spirit brother to Lucifer.
@@alwaysrememberJesus this exactly. That is probably the greatest offense. This show is taking the lives of real people and changing their stories to fit what Dallas wants them to be.
Dallas, thank you for your integrity as a Christian. I am LDS, and thank you for doing such a great work with The Chosen. I believe that you are divinely inspired in this work.
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
The Book Of Mormon is not a contrary book to the Bible. It adds to it , to testify of Christ. I want to be part of a church that doesn’t hate on other religious beliefs.
@@robertvanwijmeren2685 You are right, but you haven’t read the Book of Mormon either, so if you want to make an argument on this case, I suggest you read The Book of Mormon yourself and more fully understand why we believe that both the Bible and The Book of Mormon go hand in hand. There’s a reason why The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.
Dallas and The Chosen are truly inspired. Thank you for helping us all feel closer to Jesus, for making him and his followers seem more realistic, and helping us understand the context behind the stories. We love watching every episode with our family.
Thankfully my first Pastor who was a humble Godly man, always told us to check everything he preached with the bible. I take the same approach to watching The Chosen and consider all of it. Thank you so much for giving a visual depiction of Christ’s time on earth! It gives me a better picture in my mind when I read God’s word! ❤️
Thank you Dallas! My wife and I are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) and this show has brought us closer to Jesus and personally I believe you are authentic and God is using you as a disciple of Christ in a marvelous work. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We love you and your show!!!
Bible is very clear not to add anything to the bible or take away. So called prophet Joseph Smith has created his own version of the bible via book of Mormon Revelation 22:18-19 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Friend. The Mormon church believes a false gospel and false Christ. The Mormon church believes God is a created being and has not existed for all eternity. The Bible is clear that God has existed for all eternity and there was never a time where there was other gods. None before him or after him. God says he doesn’t even know of any other gods. He’s the first and the last. The Mormons do not believe this. They believe he was a human that became God and one day we can become Gods too. They also believe Jesus is lucifers brother when the Bible is clear that Jesus created all things, including Lucifer. The Mormon church is full of lies and has a long history of abuse and scandals ever since it’s inception. Turn from this false church and believe the Christ of scripture, the one who has existed for all eternity with the father and the Holy Spirit. Repent and put your faith in the true Jesus. The Mormon gospel does not save. Watch apologia studios videos on Mormonism to learn more PLEASE.
@@eb6359 You already disobey God when he said no adding back in Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it" So goodbye Jesus. Goodbye New Testament. Bye apostles. No Martin Luther or Protestantism since he removed 6 books from the Bible accepted for 1000 years.
I'm glad you're watching it. Keep watching it and the Bible to find more about Jesus the son of God. Do mormons still believe Jesus and satan are brothers?
@@michellesolomon1773 yes they do, and that God “Heavenly Father” was once a man… in other words God in their religion is a creature.. the Mormons need the real Jesus and real gospel that can actually save
I’m so sorry you have to deal with this as you’re so very busy getting this beautiful series out there for us all. This world needs to chill and just enjoy the real story of Jesus and his ministries. Dallas, you can’t keep everyone happy and focused on The Chosen, that’s not your job, it’s their choice to enjoy. Don’t question yourself, you’re doing beautifully. Don’t change a thing. We love you and appreciate your hard work. God bless you all in this amazing series.
Do you not know that mormonism teaches that God is just a man who came from another planet; where they say he also practiced mormonism? And that Jesus and Satan were both *created* by God and that they are brothers?
@@batmaninc2793LDS here. I'm sure that @the210official does understand what you are talking about. Respectfully, your portrayal of our doctrine is so incomplete. If you were to put that question towards any LDS adult they would know what you are talking about, but also roll their eyes at the vast reduction that you are subjecting these beliefs to. Yes, we do hold beliefs somewhat akin to what you describe here. The whole point of this video is that just because someone holds certain beliefs different from yours doesn't mean that they as a whole believe in a different god than you or hold wildly different values from you. What you've said is similar to me saying "Did you know that Catholics believe that the sacrament is LITERALLY the body of Christ?" Or "Did you know that evangelicals believe that the trinity is LITERALLY one being?" there is no substance in these statements at all, they are just lazy attacks at someone's beliefs. Nobody is getting convinced by something like that, you are actually just hardening hearts. If you actually want to understand someone's beliefs, to know if something is true or false, maybe start with study and prayer. If after you have done those things you still can't wrap your mind around someone's beliefs, just leave it at that. I'm personally so tired of these internet theologists trying to attack each other with literally the worst / laziest / frustrating arguments of all time.
@@nathantagg2691 Roman Catholic here. You might remember us from such instances as the time we were founded by Jesus Christ (circa A.D. 30) and when we provided the canon of Sacred Scripture in A.D. 382 at the Council of Rome under Pope Damasus I. The problem with your post is that these words and teachings you're claiming to be false come from none other than Joseph Smith Jr. himself. Whom Joseph Fielding Smith also adds that Jr. was given the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven by Christ, in "Doctrine of Salvation", and anyone who doesn't believe that goes to Hell. Which ultimately ends up calling Christ a liar since He said the Church built on St. Simon-whose name Christ changed to the Aramaic "Kepha" (Rock; see St. John 1:42)-is what Jesus calls "My Church" and says, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it". It is because Mormonism teaches that neither the Father, nor the Son, nor the Holy Ghost are eternal, but created beings, that Mormons can not be called "Christian" by definition. Edit: Also, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life; and I shall raise him on the last day." (St. John 6:53-54)
How refreshing! Thank you, Dallas. I am a Christian and love Jesus with all my heart, and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I use your show all the time to introduce people to Jesus. You have made it easy to share the good message of the gospel and to start conversations about Jesus. I share your show with all my friends. God bless you and your team for the great work you are doing!
Unfortunately Mormons don't believe the same things about Christ as Christians do, many are in stark contrast. However you can follow the teachings of Christ even if your religion teaches differently about who He is
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
I'm curious if you would agree that you believe in the same Jesus as Biblical Christians? Do you believe that Jesus is the Eternal God and there are no other Gods before or after him? (Isaiah 44:6) Do you believe that going to heaven is through faith alone by God's grace? (Ephesians 2:8-9) Or do you believe that "through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel"? The answer is of eternal importance. Paul wrote to the Galatians that those preaching a gospel other than the gospel of grace are preaching a gospel that damns. (Galatians 1:6-9)
@@tkc3742 “Saved” has many levels. A person can be hungry or starving. A wet rag can be damp or soaking. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I would like to share a few truths. 1- Jesus saved us all, no matter what we do, from death. Everyone who has ever lived will be resurrected. It requires nothing of us. Grace alone. 2- There are many degrees of glory of Heaven. There is broadly, “Heaven,” and even more specifically, there are varying glories to which we can be resurrected to based on how we lived our life. Our desires, intentions, behavior and obedience to the will of God determines which glory we will be restored to. Paul described it, “40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption;” answering to your question, “by obedience to the laws…” is referring to the laws of which glory. Paul also mentions “the third Heaven” in 2 Corinthians 12:2 3- We love the Bible and believe the Bible. The “biblical Jesus,” required ACTION and effort in all things. Here are a handful of examples which include warnings, qualifying efforts or situations surrounding “saving.” “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7 (24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock…) 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. Mark 8 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10 Words Jesus used which require personal effort: Enter Seek Knock Ask Receive Follow Love Preach Feed Trust Believe Endure Pray Repent Faith So much more! These words serve a purpose. Our desire to obey the will of the Father makes a huge difference. Jesus taught us to submit to His will. We must become sanctified and be clean to be able to stand in His presence. 4- We believe in God, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. There is no other Savior, no other God we worship- nor ever will. Satan has a goal to divide, confuse and bring misery. Members of our church are hated without cause. I pray to the same God you do. I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I do my best to repent, repent, repent as I work to walk as Jesus walked. He showed the way. Sitting at a new Bible study, where everyone was introducing their religious background, I saw many faiths represented all holding a Bible in their lap. Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic, baptist, etc… they were all welcome. But when I shared the church I attend, I was not welcome. I had no problem with anyone else’s religion, Jesus wants us to gather in His name. He promised, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” The varying differences in the details of a religion do not need to stop us from uniting as brothers and sisters in Christ. I will continue trying to gather with all I can in His name and fully intend to feel His presence. I pray anyone with ears to hear, will hear.

@@amygarner879 there are those who will be resurrected to everlasting life and others to everlasting contempt. We will not "all" be resurrected to life.
Other people have already echoed what I wanted to say. I have one other thing to add. The show is gaining in popularity. That means you are on the radar and the enemy will DO whatever he can do to stop what God anoints. The attacks are coming hard. So, I would ask anyone who reads this that if you love this show and these people then lift them up in prayer and be the coving for them. They are over the target and the enemy hates it. You have my prayers. God bless you and God continue to bless the chosen.

The chosen is a very exceptional presentation of our Lord and Savior. Hollywood has never been able to capture the real Jesus. I can watch it over and over again and still receive the emotional experience of knowing Christ better.
I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I love your work. God bless you and the crew so y’all can continue making this series greater!!
@@SemisiBenLaman If it were made to appeal to the mormon interpretation of Jesus, God, the gospel, it wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as it has been. Much in the same way that it would fail to match its current success if it were done from the interpretation of the jehovah's witnesses; who say Jesus isn't God, but the archangel St Michael. It'd be scandalous.
@@SemisiBenLaman Speaking of Jesus in media: I am actually curious how the (rather late) sequel to The Passion will do. Not that it'll be promoted much considering how they feel about the movie's director, but, still.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you and all the crew put into The Chosen. It is so awesome and so needed. You have such a humble, caring spirit about you! Stand firm!
Hey, man. Like many of the comments before, can't thank you enough for helping bring The Chosen to life and allow millions more people become more acquainted with Jesus. I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't know all the specific differences between Christian and non-Christian religions, but I'm thinking we could all stand to be a little more Christ-like no matter where we worship. I'm grateful for all that The Chosen has done to get us a little closer to that goal. Keep up the the great Work, brother.
@ Tim Johnson if you truly want to start to understand the differences, you need to realize that; The Bible isn’t corrupted, 23,000 ancient manuscripts and the Dead Sea Scrolls plus the writings of the Apostolic fathers is proof it’s not altered and our translations are correct. Also the Christian faith and it’s beliefs were not lost once the Apostle John died that’s actually insulting to Christianity it claims those persecuted and martyred during the 150 yrs of persecution didn’t know who they were following in Christ and what they were dying for . Didn’t it occur to you to wonder why your BOM is written in the Kings English of 1611 and is almost formatted like the KJV if the Bible when in 1830 no one in the America’s spoke the Kings English so why would God address Smith in a language America’s didn’t speak? Furthermore why did Smith plagiarized 27 chapters from the KJV w 17 th century added italics that aren’t in the original apparently Smith lied to Mormons the Bible isn’t corrupted after all if he’s willing to outright steal word for word from the Bible!
@@Pkicker3 Hey, man. I appreciate the time you took to respond to my post. I'm grateful to all those early followers of the Savior who paved the way on a road to a happier life. I love the Bible! I love the humility of Moses, the courage of Joseph, the determination of Paul, and everything in between--especially the words coming from The Word Himself. We are truly blessed to have those scriptures! As far as the Book of Mormon goes, man, I love that book, too! It's not a record of God addressing one person, it's a history book largely covering about a thousand years of a family from Jerusalem that ended up in the Americas. If you've ever felt the Holy Spirit testify to you while reading the Sermon on the Mount in the book of Matthew (I love that part!), then I can promise you that you'll feel that same Spirit reading about the Savior's interactions with the people in the Americas. As for why the Book of Mormon was translated into a style more like the King's English, I don't know the answer to that one. All I know is that when I read from that book, I get the same brilliant inner vibe I get when I'm reading the Bible. Much success to you brother! Thanks for being a follower to the ultimate example who we should all be following!
@@grooveecard The BOM isn’t History, I studied history in college the names tribes nations in that book didn’t exist, I own a BOM as well I ve read it they aren’t there in history. No one even by oral tradition knows those tribes tongues nations. None of the American tribes have history of a messiah coming to them 2000 years ago we still have those nations in existence today none of them have the BOM as part of their history. No one in the America’s was spreading the message of a Christ crucified until the Europeans came and began to teach the Indians that’s historical fact.
You have a false Jesus; Lucifer’s brother who became a God by obeying law like his God before him. This is contrary to the Jesus taught in John 1 and the rest of the Bible who has always been God. Isaiah 43:10 says that there is only one God, Mormonism teaches that there are trillions of Gods and you can become a God one day.
There is only one God. There will only ever be one God. Isaiah 46:9-10 ESV - 9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ Flee this false church while you can.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), and I love the work you do. All that matters to me is that your work is helping people, in general, come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. And it’s doing that.
As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I just thank you so much for the Chosen. I feel the Holy Spirit testifying the truth and the message of Jesus Christ when I watch it. And I love thinking about how it gathers so many of different faiths and beliefs together. Thank you for working so hard to portray the Jesus I imagine as I read scripture. It has helped me to improve on my relationship with Him as I pray and study scripture more intensely. God bless you and your work.
@@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel The same "Holy Spirit" that teaches us all things (John 14:26). I wonder whether you have read what the Book of Mormon actually teaches about Jesus Christ. Would you be willing to read one chapter? I recommend Moroni chapter 7 as a good summary of the book's Christology.
The Chosen is being used by our God of the Bible to reach so many and it is felt by all who really know Him and those that don’t but need Him...others are still afar off and we pray they will come to know Him. Thank you Dallas for all you do ...This show is amazing and very very anointed. God bless you and all involved! 💁🏻♀️❤️🙏
I have lived in Utah since 1982, I was raised in several different Protestant/Evangelical Church’s in Northern California and chose the Roman Catholic Church as my Church in High School some 50+ years ago. I’m attending a Zoom Bible study using The Chosen out of St Rose of Lima Church in Simi Valley, Calif. It’s my sincere belief that The Choose is another tool God has given us to stand together with our Common beliefs as a group United that does not make us change or abandon our Core Doctrine beliefs of each of our Churches. I also sincerely believe that we are in another time of Separating the goats from the sheep is it the end of times I don’t know, but I do know if we don’t come together as Christians and stand up for for Our Lord, the people that belong to Satan will pick each Church off one at a time using other Christians/Churches to do it. God uses each one of us and has known each of us, Isaiah 43 and only He can Judge us in the end. To me this is just another wedge/attack Satan is trying to use for disunity so he can do his work. This year I’ve seen more Christian movies in Theaters then ever before, Purgatory, The Chosen Christmas, Fr Stu, Alive and several other previews from other Christian groups and Pro-Life. Prayers for your part in this, Dallas
problem is that the core doctrine of the Roman Catholic church are apostate. Praying to saints? Praying to Mary? believing that she is divine. All false doctrine.
I think your followers would be amazed at how many Latter-day Saints love The Chosen and the work you are doing. When it comes to the Savior, we are much more similar than we are different and I have thought about how you are putting Jesus out there for people to truly come to know in a deeply personal way at a critical time in the world’s history. So thank you from one whose home is covered with paintings of He who is my King and friend, Julie
No, we don't want to be God. We are not looking to become God and equal to God or above God. We are here to serve God. That's the difference. Left hand vs right Hand.
The real Jesus is the one in the Bible... not the chosen.... want to make a "LDS" disagree? Represent Jesus as HE did in the Bible... that is the opposite of what we see in the comment section. Let's stick our heads in the sand and pretend that is not a problem....
@ J Turner no actually you are not more similar, I am amazed that every single Mormon who so claims to love this series doesn’t grasp the episode: I am He when Jesus is at the well talking to the Samaritan woman. The Chosen is directly quoting the Bible correctly when Jesus refutes you Mormons on the Father ever being a man Jesus spells it out clearly to the woman the father is not a man so how do love a show that refutes your heresies you can’t explain it away to your kids it’s right there in living color and audio the Father is not a man the Father is Spirit and only Spirit.
Please don't feel that everyone feels this way Dallas the show you put out is amazing touching & shows the love of Jesus for us. Thank you for your work 🙏
I almost never binge watch any tv shows, but I have binge watch The Chosen many times and have rewatched season 3 three times so far. Also, I want to say that I often forget that Jesus in the series is really Johnathan Roummie (SIC). This series is so well written and so well acted. I am a 77 year old evangelical who was saved in 1968 and have read and studied my Bible daily with prayer daily for many, many years.
@The Chosen Thank you for being so careful not to exclude any faith tradition. I see this show as one of those things that helps us come to a "unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God". Ephesians 4:13 I've never liked the idea behind saying "We don't believe in the same Jesus". Obviously, there is only one Jesus of Nazareth who inspired the writing of the NT. I feel it is much more charitable to say "We don't believe the same things about Jesus". It acknowledges differences without delegitimizing the other person's faith and experiences with the Savior.
You and your team are doing a fantastic job. Don’t allow comments of fools to distract you from this worthy mission. I am very dubious of any “Christian” who professes to tell others what they do or don’t believe. You’re very correct about the heart.
Do you then reject Paul? He held the body of Christ in Corinth accountable. I can't think of a single prophet or follower of Christ biblically that didn't. Are we "Fools" for questioning why unbelievers are behind the creation of the show? Or is it foolish to reject the words of our Lord when He states we are not to unequally yoke ourselves to unbelievers? Especially, when the assertion is that God Himself stated the characters of the Chosen are how people would come to visualize Him and His friends. Dallas has stated, that the majority of people affiliated with the show are unbelievers. How do unbelievers present the "Authentic Jesus", if they don't know the "Authentic Jesus"? Perhaps some of us know a little more about the creators of the show, have done detailed research, read their books, and followed their interviews and statements more thoroughly. Or perhaps some of us are just more devoted to the written Word than others. We are however praying for all affiliated with the show, and the viewership. We understand the danger in altering the way people visualize scripture by presenting assertions. It's true to say as Dallas has, to his credit, that the show is not a replacement for Scripture. It's also true to say that many visualize the characters on the show when reading their Bibles. Also true to say that this is the creator's goal.
@@dsmith0106 my point exactly. I think the wise stance to take it to attempt to emulate Christ-like compassion towards others, even of completely different faiths, meanwhile focusing on getting and keeping your own house in order.
@@dsmith0106 Respectfully, I imagine you must find the Authentic Word of God very condemning as well, as our concerns are pertaining to the violation of the Word of God.
I find this message to actually be really sincere. I didn't even know it was an issue. Respect for clarifying. Thank you. Also, I always follow the guidance from Matthew 7:16 - "You will know them by their fruits." There is no logical explanation for The Chosen's inspiration than spiritually inspired. You clearly were led to create this show. As an LDS person myself, I never thought anything else, and I have always been taught that this applies to all people even outside the walls of the church. I also understand that our community can sometimes be a bit insular and has created bad blood with other denominations in the past by going around and telling people their faith is wrong or incomplete, and to follow us as the "only 100% true church." I think the church has kind of realized that maybe this 1800s enlightenment preaching style is not great for trying to become a unified body of people under our faith in Christ. I am really happy you posted this because it shows a fair representation of people's faith. I see myself as a Christian, and I 100% believe that you and your team behind this show were divinely inspired to create it, and I think it serves as a great lesson and reminder for LDS people of how God can work through people that are not LDS as well. I actually believe that God purposefully worked through you, as someone who is not part of the LDS community, because this lesson is very important for people in our church. Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU! Everyone I know is so inspired by you.
I just want to ask you if you believe that Jesus Himself is created. Or, is He an Eternal Being Who had no beginning? You can't believe both ideas about Him. The Scriptures don't support His being created. They do support His being the 2nd Person in the Godhead. All 3 in the Godhead are eternal and have always been. By the way, you don't need the Book of Mormon. It denies the authority of the Bible. All of the doctrines in the Book of Mormon came from a fallen angel that is destined for eternal punishment in the lake of fire, and he well knows this. Fallen angels will lie every chance they get just like the being they serve, satan. He is the father of lies.
I'm curious if you would agree that you believe in the same Jesus as Biblical Christians? Do you believe that Jesus is the Eternal God and there are no other Gods before or after him? (Isaiah 44:6) Do you believe that going to heaven is through faith alone by God's grace? (Ephesians 2:8-9) Or do you believe that "through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel"? The answer is of eternal importance. Paul wrote to the Galatians that those preaching a gospel other than the gospel of grace are preaching a gospel that damns. (Galatians 1:6-9)
@@bubbly_eeyore interesting bc Mormonism is an entirely DIFFERENT faith then Biblical Christianity. It's not even considered a denomination of the Christian faith by Christians. Nor is Catholicism.
@@karaa7595 Christianity by definition is, “the religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices.” Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are taught based on the teachings and person Jesus Christ is, meaning the example he set for all of us during His mortal ministry. Thus, members of The Church of Jesus Christ who are truly living according to the teachings of the church are in fact Christians and strive to follow the very Jesus spoken about in the Bible:) I think as we take the time to educate ourselves on all different religions, we come to find out that we’re actually a lot more alike than we are different! hope this helps:)
I understand what you are saying. Thank you for clarifying that not everyone who belongs to any church group believe in the same Jesus. We are not in the position to judge the faith of another person. I so appreciate your candor in clarifying that. I am an evangelical who has a few LDS friends who I would say believe in the same Jesus I do. But only God knows our hearts. One thing I do know is that I love God & I am going to love the people around me.
Dallas, I just have to say that because of you and your project and God's hand on all of this I am excited to open my Bible and read all the stories. Now when I read a character I can put a face to them and it just makes it feel more relatable having watched the Chosen (over and over again lol) and feeling a connection with the characters that they just don't seem so strange anymore. As if the bible were my personal family history! I love family history! Thanks to you I took action to read my Bible more and not just tell myself that I know I should read it more. Love you Dallas and all you allow the Holy Spirt to do through you. He is getting all of the glory!!!💞
Thank You!! I agree that having the visual of the faces and the accuracy of the background that they appear in has helped me in my readings of the New Testament especially. It has helped with the OT, as well.
Dear Dallas. I thank you for the enormous effort of giving us such a vivid representation of the Gospel with love and respect for the Word. Many people is motivated to read the Bible again because of the show. You have done it with a pure heart and great generosity. For the rest "we all fall short of the Glory of God ".♡
Thank you for being so patient and transparent Dallas! I would encourage everyone and this includes myself, before jumping to conclusions, judging others and gossiping, is to first see and deal with our own issues of misgivings. And then truly seek the truth, to vet out the information before acting on being a whistle blower, making complaints and trouble for someone else. For one I am grateful for such a wholesome, well thought out program !! We are each responsible for our own walk with Jesus, reading and knowing the Bible. Walking our own walk as best as one can is our main responsibility.
Keep doing what your doing Dallas! The Chosen is changing lives. I am a Christian and this series has amplified my love for Jesus and has led me to read the gospels in great detail for myself. The Chosen has brought the scriptures to life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Ignore the haters…. I admire how you take time to address concerns but don’t let it stop you !!!!!
@@eagleclaw1179 These things really do blow the human mind, don't they?! Anyway, I hope this helps... 1. Jesus was always there from the beginning: He was the Word of God and was God... John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. Jesus was God and is "I Am", a very sacred name of the Almighty God (the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), which when uttered idly was considered blasphemy... John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am.” 3. Jesus was not "created" in the full sense of the word because He was always there and was and is God in the first place. But we are told that He became flesh and took on the likeness of man in humility to become a servant and a sacrifice for us. John 1:13 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Philippians 2:7 But made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. Jesus was God in the first place, which is different from the Egyptian god philosophy that one was human and then became a god after death like the Pharaohs believed. He had to leave His former glory to walk on earth as a human and when the Bible talks about Him ascending to heaven and being given glory and sitting on the right side of God, it's really talking about a reinstatement of the glory and I believe that His form is probably now different compared to how He might have been like as "the Word". But I guess I'll find out eventually. Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one God. The Hebrew term Elohim is actually a plural form, but in the text, it reads to the equivalent of "Elohim is". Amazingly awesome!
@@lollipop2993 I’m a Christian, I believe in the God, the 1 and only true God. As far as your explanation of Elohim, I understand what you are saying, but I would suggest that you familiarize yourself a little better with how Elohim is used in scripture. Elohim is not a proper name for God, Elohim is used to describe, men, angels, and judges. So it would be incorrect to say Elohim is used only for God
@@eagleclaw1179 I get you. We call God 'God', but "gods" is also the term used to refer to the deities of the Hindus, the Romans and Greeks, etc., and we call Jesus 'Lord', but that can refer to lords as in lords and ladies, and we use 'my lord' in a courtroom for a male judge, so it's the same situation I guess. Our God is the one true God and so we use a capital to show that. In some Jewish prayers and blessings, Elohim is used to address God, and Elohim is present right from Genesis 1:1. Hebrew, as far as I know, is the only language that shows the plural "Gods" with a singular verb showing the multiplicity of God but still referring to Him as one. That's why I put that example in there. Thanks for getting back to me. Hope and pray you walk closer with the Lord each day, and that He will reveal more truth and glory to you just as I desire for myself.
There are and will be ALWAYS someone who wants to dog you no matter what you say, think, or do. Stand true to who you are and what you believe and let God handle the rest. Love the Chosen series and pray for the cast and all those involved in producing it!
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I also love The Chosen and the way Dallas and the other writers have portrayed the Savior and his teachings. I love your comment about "Getting to know the real thing." "The real Jesus." I love the scriptures that speak about Jesus and getting to know him and his teachings better through the scriptures blesses my life, and makes me a better person. I feel the Spirit as I watch The Chosen and thank all those involved for this wonderful show.
Friend. The Mormon church believes a false gospel and false Christ. The Mormon church believes God is a created being and has not existed for all eternity. The Bible is clear that God has existed for all eternity and there was never a time where there was other gods. None before him or after him. God says he doesn’t even know of any other gods. He’s the first and the last. The Mormons do not believe this. They believe he was a human that became God and one day we can become Gods too. They also believe Jesus is lucifers brother when the Bible is clear that Jesus created all things, including Lucifer. The Mormon church is full of lies and has a long history of abuse and scandals ever since it’s inception. Turn from this false church and believe the Christ of scripture, the one who has existed for all eternity with the father and the Holy Spirit. Repent and put your faith in the true Jesus. The Mormon gospel does not save. Watch apologia studios videos on Mormonism to learn more PLEASE.
Jesus said "I am the way, The truth and the life, nobody comes to the father but by me". Joseph smith is a false prophet just as Jesus had said it. Muhammed is also a false prophet and many more that followed. Matthew 24:24 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Salvation is by the grace of God so that no man can boast. Lds members belive that they will become gods when they die. They will inherit new planets, they believe that Lucifer is brother of Jesus. They believe that their garment and underwear will protect them from fire. Its a cult and if you are not in it they dont like you period. Actually lds members from slc believe that they are better than lds members from other states/cities. On Sundays lds members dont say hi to non members, they completely ignore you. I guess those teaching of Jesus to love your neighbor as yourself dont apply. I follow Jesus Christ, the Great I AM, the alpha and the omega, the first and the last and not made up cult which is LDS cult. Jesus is the only way.
@@jeffschlueter1660 Here is true LDS doctrine not your internet stupidity We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression. 3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. 4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. 5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. 6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. 7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. 8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. 9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. 10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory. 11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may. 12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law. 13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
I've posted this before, and I wanted to post again here. It was the criticism of you that lead me here. As a Deacon and Sunday School director of a Baptist church, I have had people including Seminary graduates do to me, what I saw others doing to you. Thanks for posting this and keep up the good work.
As a pastor's kid, I understand what you mean. When people decide to misinterpret you, they stop listening or even caring about the truth. The extent to which this happens among Christians is tragic.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I absolutely love The Chosen. I feel that this show has united all of us in our quest to come closer to Jesus Christ and to read His word. My son got me the 2 novels your father wrote for Mother’s Day and I love them! I feel that you are an instrument in God’s hand to bring the truth of Jesus to the world. I pray God will bless your endeavors!
@@kwpp7 I hope at some point you're willing to truly get to know a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and ask them what they believe about Jesus Christ. He is my Savior, my Redeemer, my friend, my Lord and my God and I worship him and love him with all my heart!!! "Be Thou My Vision" is one of my all time favorite hymns, and when I sing every verse of it to myself throughout the day, my heart and spirit and vision are lifted to heaven and I glory in his goodness and power and almighty LOVE! He was born of immaculate conception to Mary, lived, ministered, was crucified for our sins, and was resurrected on the third day. I seek to follow Him and pattern my life and heart after his and strive to seek his guidance and protection in all I do! I love the Bible and believe it to be the word of God and study and ponder it regularly! In my life, my evangelical Christian and Catholic friends and family have been on the same page on those points.
Well done and well said. We attended a presbyterian church but I grew up with the Mormon church and I can say with great confidence that all of the LDS folks I know absolutely love Jesus!!! We may disagree on predestination or other human philosophical issues but as far as the big picture is concerned, we love Jesus and its all about faith through His Grace. God Bless all y'all!!!!
If Christians believe Jesus is God and always existed and was not created, and Mormons say Jesus is only Gods Son and there is not a trinity, we are not following the same Jesus.
One of my absolute favorite things about the Chosen is how it connects all of Christianity! It helps each denomination remember how much, much smaller our differences are than our similarities - our love for our Savior Jesus Christ and His life that brings us all together! Thanks for the unifying effort!!!
It was Jesus Christ himself who corrected John who was making similar accusations (someone not appearing to be the same faith) ..."for whoever is not against us is for us." Mark 9:38-40
@@azhotmom what John said was, "we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons IN YOUR NAME . . ." The Mormon Church believes that Jesus was a great prophet. They may even agree He is the Son of God BUT they DO NOT BELIEVE Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose on the third day and conquered death so that we might be BORN AGAIN. This is the CORE belief of the Christian faith. Jesus was the sacrifice for sin. They are very deceptive when they talk about Jesus. They do not believe in THE NAME OF JESUS. They do not. They are followers of their man-made Prophet, Joseph Smith. Whatever is in the Book of Mormon is greater than what is in The Bible. The FINAL AUTHORITY in The Mormon Church is The Book of Mormon. Working with the Mormon Church is not like Catholics working with Baptists. Wake up.
@@misshoodsschoolbuslife1871 I’m so sorry for the confusion. I’m not sure where you’ve heard or read these lies but let me help clarify. “Mormons” or “LDS” (these are nicknames) are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Yes, the same Savior that paid for your and my sins and arose on the 3rd day. That is why the name of their church has the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, in its name. I believe Satan tries to cause division by confusion but this is one that doesn’t make any sense to me. If you ever get a chance, go visit their church. You’ll see very quickly they believe in Jesus and worship Him as their Lord and Savior. I ask you to please stop sharing incorrect information as it only adds to Satan’s desire to cause division among us Christians. But don’t believe me, go check it out for yourself.
@@misshoodsschoolbuslife1871 my how confused you are and not sure where u get your facts. We absolutely believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. We absolutely believe he paid the price for our sins on the cross and we celebrate his resurrection which occurred 3 days after his death. Not sure why we have to tear each other down. I have friends of many faiths and love them all. Why can't we get past the hatred and focus on what's truly important and that is Christ. We do not worship Joseph Smith in any manner. The Book of Mormon does not Trump the Bible in any way and is a companion to the Bible. In the front of the Book of Mormon it states that its another testament of Jesus Christ and written to prove to Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ. One of my favorite scriptures in there states, " there is none other name given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved." Of that I say Amen. By the way I don't want to argue. We all have the God given freedom to believe and practice how we want which is such a blessing that many don't have. Let's work at building each other up and not tearing each other down due to our differences.
@@jeremypreston1593 the Bible doesn't need another companion. That is heresy. Jesus Christ does not need another testament. I got my facts about The Mormon Church from a representative of The Mormon Church. I stand by what I say. The Mormon Church is not a follower of Jesus Christ. The Christian community does not recognize Joseph Smith as one who meets the same criteria of those who the Holy Spirit spoke through as they wrote the New Testament. Joseph Smith was a very troubled man. There is no need for further discussion. I believe The Mormon Church is a cult. You will not convince me otherwise. Enough said.
What I love about the Chosen is Protestant, Catholic, LDS, although different in significant ways, were able to come together in their united love and faith in our Savior Jesus Christ and make The Chosen possible. What a beautiful thing that was created out of this unity in faith in Jesus. Thank you Dallas for bringing the loaves and fishes and allowing God to multiply. God bless you!
Catholicism and Mormonism are cults. They lead people to hell! Jesus Christ said, "I am the Way, The Truth and The Life, no man comes to the Father but through Me."
What a stupid comment comment, LDS preaches a different Jesus, they literally believe Jesus is satans brother, as well God was once a man who became a god and just like the past gods and future gods and YOU too can become a god if you do works. That is what the LDS teaches. They preach a false Jesus, a false view of God, and ultimately their gospel does not SAVE.
Unity with liars is not unity. It's confusion. God left us his testimony. These false Church's add and subtract from what God said. And there is no telling what the truth is anymore. By joining yourselves with them you unify yourself with their soon coming judgment.
Still excited to watch Season 3!! Thank you Dallas for bringing the word to motion. May God bless this project and spread the word to every nation! Many blessings to your crew and families.
This is so sad that he has to explain this. Keep doing everything you’ve been doing, we’re grateful for all the efforts that you’ve put in to making The Chosen. You’ve been an instrument in the Lord’s hands, forget about the drama that people try to come up with.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I am so grateful for the Chosen! It has been a great addition to my scripture study and has helped me look at our Savior Jesus Christ in different, unique and helpful ways! I was also recently at a meeting where a worldwide youth leader of our church played a clip from The Chosen to help illustrate how we can find peace in Christ. Thanks for your work and sincerity in bringing others to Christ!
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. - Isaiah 43:10. Kind of contradicts God was once a man, attained Godhood and we will follow in his footsteps no? You're either left handed - looking to be God and equal to or above God or you are right handed path and are here for God below God. Make your choice.
Bella, if you are LDS, the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of your religion clearly contradict each other. The same way the Jesus mentioned in the Quran is not the real Jesus. Your LDS Jesus is created in the false prophet’s Joseph Smith’s imagination. Your Jesus is a created being who is a brother of Lucifer. We know that Jesus cannot save you. Please put your faith in the real Jesus. In him is found assurance of salvation
Do you understand the key differences between Biblical Christianity and Mormon theology? Please take time to work through these differences so that you may know that Jesus in the Bible is not a brother of Lucifer. Jesus is the creator through whom all creation exists. Lucifer is a created being who then later fell and became Satan. Also, the earthly body of Jesus was conceived of The Holy Spirit without copulation, whereas the LDS has traditionally taught then Father had physical sex with Mary. So you can see that there are key differences that are very important and are salvation issues. Thank you.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am pretty sure that the Jesus I love, follow and serve is the same one that is being portrayed on CHOSEN (the Jesus from the scriptures). I have visited SEVERAL churches and got to know them at a deep level (long story), and I'm always surprised at how much gossip and energy goes into criticizing other people's beliefs (maybe because Christians are still learning how to love and respect one another, just like at the time of Jesus). I love the show CHOSEN, and my family and I will keep watching it. I also think that we have to pay attention close attention to "division and contention among churches" because this is not the Lord's way. I hope the Second Coming happens sooner than later 😅.
But the LDS believe Jesus is a god not God Almighty. To deny the divinity of Christ is no small error. How do you reconcile your beliefs with the 1st and 2nd century beliefs of the martyrs of the Early Church? What you believe is different from what they believed, what the Apostles taught, and what their disciples taught. First generation disciples of the Holy Apostles, such as Polycarp, Clement, and Ignatius. Nevertheless, love of Jesus and of God, and acknowledging the Holy Trinity is not a bad thing, it is a very good thing, and in these things there certainly is common ground.
We are told to test the spirits to see if they are from God. We're not told to just live and let live and be one, happy, "Christian" family. In the case of LDS, the spirit isn't from God, and your beliefs are just a little different, they're heresy. It doesn't matter which Jesus you think you're following, when you start right off the bat by saying God is an exalted man and we can be like Him one day if we do everything right. Nah.
@@dr.j5642 We believe that Christ is the God of the Old Testament, the New Testament, Today, Forever, the Creator, the Redeemer, King of Kings, the everlasting God, the Healer, the Lord of Hosts, the Savior, our Advocate with the Father, the Sinless, the Lamb, the Holy One. We do believe that he is God Almighty and divine.
@@jeffschlueter1660 I have tested and have found LDS fully in line with Jesus and scripture. Holy Ghost powerfully witnessed. Those who genuinely know Christ, know when he is in other contexts. Just as the apostles recognized the messiah but the Pharisees did not and shamed the followers of Christ as following a 'false prophet'. History repeats itself
LDS here. I love our Savior and the way Jesus is depicted in The Chosen. As Christians I think we need to follow the Savior to the best of our ability and support one another in our efforts to get closer to God.
See, the Joey Witnesses and Morm Cultists are just doing bidness ($$$.$$) MONEY - MONEY - MONEY. I was taught long ago by a most unexpected teacher whom I never forgot the counterfeit money analogy. The Truth stands on it's own merit and does not need defending. For over 2000 years there has only been One Truth, One Word and One God. I truly pity non believers, especially for those L.S.D. folks (not a typo - L.S.D.). See it would be the same thing as if I went into a public bathroom and took a dump, and then when I came out I would proclaim: "The Angel Maroni came to me while I was going doo-pee and gave me the 'Book of Brian'. You believers that have been following the one Holy Bible forever got it wrong. Now you have to read my 'Bible' - The Book of Brian so that you can have Eternal Salvation. After I totally convince my 'followers' that they are Church obligated to fork over 10% of their gross earnings to the Church, I never have to work another day in my life! So many people have proven that L.S.D. Mormy Cultist Book false, it befuddles me how many intelligent, smart thinking people with high I.Q.'s actually believe that crap. Those L.S.D.'s are so freaking gullible, they actually believe that they inherit other planets after they die on Earth... O.M.G. 🙄😝

I am so proud of Dallas!!! He has taken the high road with the comments made about him personally or the the way he’s used his God-given gift to change people’s lives through The Chosen series! (I am certainly one of them) I am sure that God is well pleased because of the untold numbers of souls who have received His Son as their Savior and/or have rededicated theirs lives or has found new hope in their season of pain and suffering!(🙋🏽♀️) My prayer is that God will continue to bless and use this man (and all involved with The Chosen) to spread the good news of Jesus Christ! I also pray as well that Almighty God our Father would touch the hearts of those who maybe spiteful, jealous, influenced by the devil or just not a faithful follower of Christ! To God be all the glory, honor and praise!!! In Jesus’ mighty, matchless and marvelous name. Amen
Thank you Dallas. Well said. You articulate your beliefs and feelings very well. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am grateful to know and love the same Jesus that you do. God bless you to continue in the magnificent work that you are doing, thank you. You and those working with you are a Great Blessing to the world!
Thank you Dallas and the whole Chosen team, amazing production and looking forward to watching more and rewatching previous episodes. I am so thankful for Jesus in my life and this show helps strengthen that relationship. Get to know people of other faiths, chances are that you will have much more in common with them than different.
Dallas, thank you for this! I think it is really sad that you even have to do it. I saw (did not watch) a 5 hour video on why people should NOT watch The Chosen! I AM LDS, raised Pentecostal, and find it very interesting that people feel to judge whether or not someone is or is not a Christian! I wonder if they have read the scriptures where Jesus gave this advice (for lack of a better word) Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind and might. And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets!! If we would ALL try to obey these two commandments we wouldn't have all this division and incorrect judgements about others. I love The Chosen, was turned on to it by one of my LDS friends! Several of my LDS friends watch it, and I personally have encouraged my family and others to watch it. I think you are doing a wonderful job. I believe that Heavenly Father loves each of us so much that He provides MANY different ways for us to come to Him and to Jesus, as each of us are very different from one another. And you are providing one of those ways. Keep up the good work and know that a lot of us love and appreciate you and all of those who are working with you to bring us closer to Jesus Christ.
@@tkc3742 simple. One who proclaims themself to be Christ. But clearly is not. There have been people who claimed themselves to be a reincarnation of Jesus. Kinda self explanatory why they are false Christs. I think the fact that so many LDS people and other Christian’s are identifying with the Jesus Christ portrayed in “The Chosen” probably would be an indicator of how closely the LDS faith and other Christian faiths understand Christ.
@@chrisblanc663 Yes, someone falsely claiming to be Christ would be a false Christ, but so would a teaching about Christ that is non Biblical. For example, Islam teaches that Jesus didn't die on the cross. That is a false Christ that cannot save. Mormonism teaches that Christ is not the eternal God, just one of many gods and that Christ's work on the cross is not enough to save, rather salvation is "after all we can do." That too is an un-Biblical and therefore, false Christ.
@@tkc3742 depends on your definition of “all we can do” what if that just means accept Christ as savior. It’s a frustratingly vague term. But then it’s also not definitive. Also James 2 states that faith without works is dead. You wouldn’t claim that James was a false Christ for focusing on a particular point. What if the works means love God, love your neighbor? Also perhaps simantics. But this is the definition of false Christ in case you were legit asking: FALSE CHRIST, ψευδόχριστος, G6023, one who makes a spurious claim to be the Messiah. So it isn’t false teachings about Christ. LDS follow the same messiah that we read about in the New Testament. They do have some doctrinal ideas and views that are different then other Christian groups. But that is similar to how different Christian denominations understand grace, or baptism, or miracles etc…
My son who is Six is having dreams of Jesus regularly since we started watching Chosen as a family. He says they feel so good. I hugged him for a good long time and asked if they feel that good. He said “Way better” What child thinks anything is better than a mother’s love? Only one who has truly experienced Jesus.
Dallas thank you for the Chosen! These last three years have been so awful and watching The Chosen has given a light in my world. I have lost several loved ones and not having had a strong religious connection in my life currently it has given me something to think about. I actually got out my Bible to read and feel a strong need to have it with me when I travel. I am finding comfort it in. I understand that the show may not be word for word as the Bible but it gives us hope. It has given me hope and I have desperately needed that. It has made me more curious as to what the actual scriptures say. I am actively looking to better understand the life of Christ and I have never had that desire. So I think the purpose was to get people thinking and curious and eager to learn more. It has done that for me and my husband. This world has changed so much and not always in a good way. So I needed something to help me and the Chosen has helped. Personally I think the world of Christianity in general is under attack. I think that is what we should all be concerned about. That is the real evil we all have to worry about. I was grateful to find something I could watch that made me feel good and to want to learn more about Jesus Christ. Something positive to think about and get my mind off the events taking place in our world. Something that caused me to think more about my own life and spirituality. I am only beginning but I thank 'The Chosen' for being there to inspire me to want to do this. I look forward to the next season. With all the evil and bad things in our world I think it so sad that people can not see the good The Chosen, the people involved in the series have been trying to do for all of us. Again thank you, I really needed this wonderful series.
"Personally I think the world of Christianity in general is under attack. I think that is what we should all be concerned about." Yes! And the attack is not coming from without, it is coming from within Christianity. Some little-known guy once said, "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." What is this backbiting of other Christians but the devil's attempt to divide and conquer the kingdom? The whole basis of Jesus' teachings is LOVE--for God, for your neighbor, and for yourself. He continually criticized the Pharisees for thinking they were better and more worthy than anyone else. "Work out your own salvation..." and allow others to work out theirs. If all Christians were working on love instead of putting down others' beliefs, Christianity would be doing amazing things in our world, just as it did in the beginning. All the backbiting and holier-than-thou is stunting our growth and limiting our understanding of God and Jesus. Keep up the good work, Dallas!
I love the Chosen!! It's my favorite depiction of Jesus & the gospels next to Jesus of Nazareth ( which was a little more conservative). The Chosen is so down to earth and understandable even those who don't particularly know the scriptures can understand it. I feel moved every time I watch it and I believe the Holy Spirit will use the Chosen to lead people to Jesus and to read the Bible. God's ways are not our ways and He will use and lead men like Dallas and Jonathan to consider that God is real and loves them. Thank you Dallas and cast of the Chosen! GOD bless you and continue to use this series and ministry for His glory and will!!✝️🕊🙏💗
Too many people, "christians" and otherwise, aren't happy unless they're smack dab in the middle of a controversy where there isn't one. Thank you for exhaustively explaining yourself with almost superhuman patience. I hope you keep to you statement about this being the last time you address the issue. Troublemakers/trolls sometimes need to be ignored once you've done & said everything possible.
Hey Dallas, I'm a Latter-day Saint and I love your show. I know tons of other members of my church who love it too. I appreciate what you said. I've been on a journey of coming to see people individually as well. I've had negative interactions with people of other faiths and have unfortunately made blanket judgements about those faiths as a whole. Yet, I hate it when people do that about my domination, so what right do I have to do that to someone else? This is something I'm working on improving. Thanks for the show and all the work you're doing!
My family and I absolutely love The Chosen. I’ve heard the talk but I’ve not heard or seen anything in the text of the show that is not plausible. I’ve watched (and loved) other movies, such as The Ten Commandments and understand that this is a movie. Some theatrical license is certainly to be expected. It doesn’t take away from its effectiveness. To those who are LDS, I think that the big question is whether or not you believe that Jesus is the eternal God; that He has always been and forever will be equal in His being as God the Father. Also, Is the redemption of Christ sufficient for our salvation? Is there anything that we must do to be a child of God with assurance of salvation? Thank you for the show, Dallas! It’s such a blessing to many!
Well said Bonnie. I still have a problem with the Book of Mormon, essentially overwriting the true Holy Bible. I also read the “God Makers”, in which the writer, an ex-Mormon, states that each Mormon will upon death be a “Jesus” for another earth. That to me is not scriptural. If any LDS can clarify that for me and show where it is in the Holy Bible I would appreciate it. I do believe that most of the LDS are wonderful God fearing people, but I do hope they believe that Jesus is the true and only God of the universe. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify all the information being posted about about you and the show. On a more positive note, The Chosen helped bring my husband back to Jesus and for that it will always hold a spot in my heart. Thank you for all you and everyone who works on the show do. Praying for all of you. And can't wait for season three!💓
“The show is not a replacement for scripture.” ❤️ I’m glad to hear you say this, because many people are putting the show in that place (not your fault). Thanks for the show, pointing people to Jesus, the word, and the local church.
Jack it is also in the first season prior to the opening scene.
For what it's worth, Jack, Dallas has said that since the beginning. In fact, I think the "Binge Jesus" slogan doesn't mean "The Chosen"; it means "Open your Bible and get into the Word."
Yeah people just don't understand.
Sad news for Dallas , people especially Christians will continue to criticize the chosen in a bad way no matter how much he explains why it isn't a replacement for scripture.
Because people just don't listen,so it is what it is i guess .The chosen creators should just carry on and ignore the negative reviews unless they actually do something wrong.
Actually, it's entirely his fault. Proverbs 30:6 is quite clear: "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." I've just found out about this show, yet even a little research has revealed that he's added numerous incidents of his own invention to the Gospel accounts. He's put words into Jesus' mouth that we have absolutely no record of Jesus ever saying. And why? To rake in millions of dollars in funding and further his own filmmaking interests? Call me crazy, but I've found the records we have to be sufficient. Not only do I feel it's unnecessary to bloat them with scenarios of my own imagining, but I'd be afraid to do so.
Yes, there have been scenes created around Scripture, however the scenes as created are well within the realms of probably.
As you may be aware, the scripts are reviewed by a panel consisting of a Catholic theologian, an evangelical theologian, and a Messianic Jewish Rabbi. They agree that the scenarios are within the context of the time, and well may have happened in much the same way.
In all cases, the creators are upfront with the fact that they are not replacing Scripture, and would expect that the viewers would take the time to delve deeper into the Word.
In as much as the Passion of the Christ movie used the 'visions' of a Catholic nun to fill in some of the blanks, so is Dallas trying to make the Jesus of Scripture more accessible to those seeking a personal relationship with the Savior.
My opinion, as a Priest coming from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, is that the central problem is our attempt to evaluate anything concerning others. We are to examine ourselves in light of the truth of Jesus Christ as revealed to us. It is a mirror that allows us to see ourselves. It is not helpful as Christians for us to evaluate anyone other than ourselves. Leave the rest to God.
So if you accept LDS as Christians, who deny the divinity of Christ (Jesus is a god not God Almighty, and a spirit child of the Father), then do we open our arms to Muslims as our brothers in the faith also (since they view Jesus as the Messiah)? It IS important to know who are your brethren, who are a part of the body of believers, and those who are wolves in sheeps clothing. What would you say?
Beautifully said!!
Amen
@@dr.j5642 No. LDS shares more with Orthodoxy than Protestants share with orthodoxy. Makes Protestants the outsiders. LDS share the theology of divination or people can become holy. Share the bible should be worshipped rather the teachings of Jesus and to others contain truth. That the Son came from the Father. That the eucharist must be done as per Jesus. Baptism is required. Keeping the commandments. That priesthood was ordained by Jesus to the apostles and down the line. You cannot preach except you have been anointed. The church Jesus founded had a hierarchy. Not someone setting up a new church on every church block.
Well said, thank you for your comment!
Dearest Dallas, "The Chosen may be the only Bible some humans are exposed to." I referred The Chosen to a fine gentleman who just didn't read the Bible. After watching The Chosen his love for Jesus was sparked and he is now attending weekly church Services! Keep up the great job! The Chosen is so awesome as are you, the cast, and the entire team! 👍❤️
I agree. I love the Chosen. Your work is amazing. God Bless you. Thank you for your beautiful show. 🙏🏻♥️
wow that is just awesome!
yes puts it into a realm over everyday life. Even modern langueage he shoves in the scripts now an the. I love this movie!
“A false Gospel is the the only Bible they will be exposed to?”
What a shame. Cant these people read?
You've, obviously, not read the Bible.
The chosen is a blasphemous piece of junk.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to live in a "fish bowl", where your every word and action is scrutinized. Your attempt to clarify past statements appears as an act of humility to me and I for one appreciate this. Is there really any Believer alive that has never acted in a way, or spoke in a way that today they'd not regret? I think not. God help us take our eyes off others, stop judging, and focus on Jesus Christ and loving and serving Him and reflecting His image to others. Thank you for bringing us The Chosen and shining a light towards the only One that can save and rescue us and provide perfect peace and joy. Looking forward to Season 3.
I agree. I'm impressed by, and grateful for your incredible humility Dallas, and the way you portray Jesus confirms that!
we are ordered to Judge but to Judge carefully without hypocrisy and most importantly not judge the heart.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue. No matter how sly or how sweet, words matter! That's why it's important to study and search the scriptures so you can sniff out false teachers!

I hope you don’t feel the weight of having to say just the right thing every time. What a hard thing to carry. Be encouraged.
Deut13 says the same thing: the prophet that presumes to speak in the Name of God will DIE if he teaches falsehoods.
Such is the reality of one who tackles something as weighty as the person and ministry and mission of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God.
@@MargaretWalkerCellist that is about prophecy, not every word that comes out of their mouths.
He should feel the weight. The message of Jesus is no small thing and must be presented with care and 100% accuracy. The seriousness of the gospel must be felt. Jesus is not trivial.

1. We are called to judge false teachers by their fruits. Matthew 7:15-20; Romans 16:17-18; Ephesians 5:11; Titus 1:9; Jude 3-4. Why aren't you judging like we are commanded to do?
2. Pointing out how a false teacher is poisoning the Church and preaching a false gospel is the loving thing to do. Trying to shut up those who are pointing out error is hateful.
3. I am not judging Dallas Jenkins's heart. I am judging his bad theology and his bad works. So, your accusation is a strawman fallacy.
4. One doesn't have to be omniscient to see that Dallas Jenkins's theology is terrible. One just has to be biblically literate.
I am not part of the LDS church. I was raised as a Catholic. It doesn't matter to me who you had working on the show. The end result is something that is uniting people in a common way. Your portrayal of these real people is commendable. I appreciate the very human way each character has been shown
Wrong. Everything works together for Gods perfect plan but that doesn't mean that the event itself is good. The show could be nonbiblical and God would still find a way to use it.
@Accept Jesus as your savior I respect your ability to have your own perspective, and thoughts on the show, and this discussion thread. And you can still feel that I am wrong. But I stand by my comments. I still feel that this show is bringing people together: cast, crew, fans- non believers, and believers in such a way that they feel passionate enough to add their voice to the dialogue. And this is my point. And this is where I feel the differing factions of Christianity get it wrong. They are too busy admonishing each other, with their "we're the only ones who matter" attitudes. If you follow his example, then you would also embrace his wanting humanity to understand this. We are all human, nobody is better than anyone else. We all need to come together, and stop dividing ourselves.
@@KennyD-bi3ec I completely agree with you. Absolutely love what you said about factions being too busy admonishing each other, well said.
One counterfeit church uniting with another counterfeit church is only exacerbating the deceptions of the myriad of denominations that make up the false counterfeit church system in the ecumenical movement. This is Satan's Babylon.
@@KennyD-bi3ec Here is the problem , Everyone is getting the wrong Idea of The Bible ,and of God and of Jesus. lds in no way have the same God or Jesus that is in The Bible or the chosen. The chosen teaches that God has always been God The Father and that Jesus is The only begotten Son of God. But none of these lds that are posting are posting are being honest or they just simply don't know what their church doctrines are. Because lets be honest the lds church believes and teaches in its doctrines the their god was first a man a human being and that he had many wives here on earth and he had sex with one of them who then gave birth to a son and called him jesus, and then their god had sex again and gave birth to another son and his name is lucifer. So lets be very clear about this The True Bible does not teach what lds teach and that show that you lds keep praising as well as praising the chosen creator Dallas Jenkins teaches what he teaches is the exact opposite of what you believe so why don't some of you lds stop being afraid to say what your church doctrine teaches don't be afraid to tell these ignorant Christians what you are keeping from them. At least other cults are not ashamed of their god and are at least honest in what they believe.
I have always been a believer but my husband has not, I was watching The Chosen one day and he sat and watched the entire season 2 with me and when it was over asked when season 3 was going to be on.... THAT, is why what your doing in important,, I thank God for The Chosen and all those involved in the making,, you are all reaching so many that really NEED to hear ...
I love what you said. ❤️❤️❤️
The bible couldn't reach him. Thank God he gave the Chosen to the world to reach the ones who can't find God through his word. (sarcasm)
You are elevating The Chosen over The Bible, the gospel, the words of God himself.
The Thumb's Down is just to get your and others attention. Because your comment highlights one of the several DANGERS that The Chosen brings. While I love the show, have thoroughly enjoyed every episode, and recommend it often there is a DANGER that it will lead MANY to Idolatry and ultimately eternal torment in the lake of fire because it is lacking in the Theological Department. Granted, that's NOT what it's about but it's a truth nonetheless that can't be ignored.
And when folks see comments like your "I have always been a believer" and then couple that with seeing the show and enjoying it they too may come to hold a false theology such as that. Or, worse, even think they can define their theology by the show!
NO, you have NOT always been a Believer. If you truly meant that and believe that then you need to be saved.
@@magnetpi99 - See my comments to Teri. You two are in the same boat. Your Soteriology is completely unbiblical. See Romans 1 and 3 for starters. And if you wanna replace "God" with "Jesus" then you can jump on over to Jn. 6:44.
I love your comment about not knowing someone else's heart and mind. I am Catholic. I have only one good Catholic friend. My other good friends are non-denominational Christians, LDS, Episcopal, or Lutheran. I married a Methodist who went to 16 years of Catholic school. Taking the time to talk to others respectfully has been fruitful for all of us. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing believers.
That’s nice that they’re friendly but I hope you understand they’re not Christian’s. That’s the main concern for everyone
Katherine, I do believe you have the right attitude. Not sure what to say to comments such as given in reply to you above. Except a house divided in this new world will most likely be easier to be taken down by those who are truly 'not Christian'. I believe I would rather have one of your friends covering my back when things go bad.
@@Milkshakeman133 we are Christians, just not creedal Christians
I'm Catholic, but I basically have left the Catholic church because it has been infiltrated by evil, and I know there are good Catholic priests out there (I see some on TH-cam), but I don't have any around me. I honestly don't know what church to go to, of any denomination. So I sit at home and practise my faith privately. But there's a lot about being Catholic that I love, such as learning about Mary, learning about the angels etc.
Catholicism has teachings that contradict scripture. Everyone should leave Catholicism, it is not of God.

🌺🌺🌺Yes Dallas, here, here is another one of the silent multitudes who support you and I'm forever grateful for the Jesus, my Jesus, our Lord Jesus, that you are giving us this life-giving portrayal of. Thank you again.🌱🌱🌱 Cristina in Texas
I never heard what Dallas said, which he is clarifying here, but I was raised in the LDS church and I was taught things about Jesus that simply aren't true. I love his analogy about spotting counterfeit bills. I'm focused on getting to know our authentic Lord.
I agree with these comments and Dallas I am praying for you and all involved with the chosen. Keep up the good work
I'm a member of the LDS Church, and I've been binge watching The Chosen over the last few weeks. I can't adequately put into words how deeply this show affects me. I cry every episode multiple times. Thank you so much for making this series, for bringing the gospels to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. Every character is so well written and likeable! Even some if the "bad guys" are given realistic and complex personalities that make them feel authentic. Because I have an autistic son, I especially love the character of Matthew, and I just want to hug him!
Of course, Jesus himself is portrayed as everything one could want in the Savior who patiently loves his followers, and who teaches them with both wisdom and humor! I don't know if I could be comfortable in the presence of God if he wasn't a little bit of a tease.
This show is groundbreaking. Thank you!
Gee im catholic n we agree! lol im just joking.. but yes! what a moving show. I so love it. just found it, binge watching here also love it. Im not to worried God is gonna ask me at gates if im Catholic, LDS, Baptist, or what ever.. I mean come on people! LOL ok God Bless!
Hey I’m a born and raised Mormon and this is my absolute favorite show! It have revamped or reignited the fire and love I have for Jesus and our Heavenly Father! Also got me more tuned in with the Holy Ghost. Many episodes have broke me to where I needed to just pause and sit and let it out, alone. I don’t care what others believe in, I love everyone and will support everyone. I love your comment and couldn’t agree more. :) ❤
Mathew cracks me up! I like his "ocd"
Prayers for your son.
However, I must would be remiss if I did not warn you that Christ built His Church on St Peter (St Matthew 16:18), not Joseph Smith Jr.
Do not follow a false church created by man over eighteen hundred years after Christ's earthly ministry.
@@batmaninc2793 read the verses again. Jesus was using a play on words with Peter's name, but the "rock" upon which his church would be built was Revelation, not any man, Joseph Smith Jr. or Peter. God knows how fallible man is, which is why we are to go straight to the Source.
The show has really helped in reading my Bible and the visualization of everyone as real people 😍
Hi Dallas. I’m an Australian Lutheran Pastor and we are about to show The Chosen to a group of young men who have drug and alcohol and mental health issues. They are also semi-literate and struggle with reading the bible. These guys have no idea of history, context and never heard of Jesus. I can see Christ in your wonderful, quality work. Good work, thank you and God bless you and keep you.
You can show them the Gospel of Jhon, the Gospel of Matthew ad the book of acts is 100% the BIBLE word by word is free on TH-cam, it will not be wise to show new born christians or unbeivers a show like the chosen that is not Biblical it will only confuse them. What they need is to TRUTH. You will not the Truth and the truth will set you free
@@raulmartinez429 With all due respect, the Chosen is actually the perfect launching point for discussing the Gospels; nothing about this series muddies the truth.
@@raulmartinez429 Every Christian parent I know who has young children has introduced their children to Jesus through children's picture Bibles and cartoon movies and flannel graph stories. No, these are not straight scripture, but they are stepping stones to understanding the full truth of the Bible.
Joseph Smith was one that Jesus was warning his children about. He was a false profit.. You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free
We are without a doubt living in the last generation that Jesus foretold before he returns and raptures his bride out. Bickering is exatuslly5
@@sth.777 No it's not because it's pure imagination shown on screen
I love Jesus Christ, and I'm always concerned at how He is portrayed in film so I was cautious in watching the Chosen, but I am sooooo happy with the spirit of this production! Thank you for putting this together and I say whatever denominations you work with to bring this forth, go for it!! As long as it continues to bring people closer to Christ, it is of God! And I love your loaves and fishes "logo"-- the idea that we bring our meager offering and He multiplies it into something amazing! The definition of this show!
I recently posted in a group of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, giving my heartfelt recommendation for The Chosen. And as the comments flooded in, they were ALL in praise of the show or saying thanks for the recommendation because they've heard good things but haven't seen it yet. So yes, while the show is not produced by the Church, many many members have received confirmation from the Spirit that it is truthful and good!
Christ crucified. Period. Best commentary on the Bible IS the BIBLE.
I Agree with what you said about The Chosen. I to have started to read the Bible really really, really for the first time in my life. So to Dallas and the Entire Cast, crew, writers, EVERYBODY Please 🙄 keep bringing this series to us. Cuz I need it. Thank 😊 🙏 😊 🙏 You
I am LDS and love The Chosen. Everything it is. Not only the content, actors, staff, etc but also that it's being distributed around the world at no cost to viewers to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a time when so many are turning to other things trying to find happiness & fulfillment. So grateful for Dallas's attitude and view on different religions and the Bible. Thanks for clarifying and not throwing LDS people in general under the bus as so many are quick to do. I love the level of respect for different points of view while holding solid to the Gospel foundation. I will continue to donate to the production & distribution to help further the work

Please stop worrying what the critics have to say ! So many people are looking for some supposed inaccuracies in your series The Chosen!!! Very few critics are experts on the Bible or understand context in Biblical History!
@@TheRealRenn I'm not going to argue with you over events that happened 2000 yrs ago and you were not a witness to ? Believe what you want. You could be right with your criticism and you might be wrong? Try thinking before you speak.

So ridiculous! Let it go...Proverbs 12:15-25 Foolish people always think they are right. Wise people listen to advice. When a fool is annoyed, he quickly lets it be known.
Truth is always revealed if we wait and watch. Stand strong and thank you for your commitment to bring the Gospel to everyone. God's Blessings on The Chosen!! ❤️
"The show is not the end game..." I've heard this from Jerry Jenkins regarding the Left Behind book series as well. So important for everyone to remember-it is a step into exposing people to the character of Christ as revealed in the Bible. There is a disclaimer in the very first episode of the very first season. The Chosen is NOT a replacement for the Gospel, it's up to each of us to study scripture and have truth revealed too us by the Holy Spirit. For me personally, it has driven me deeper into the gospels and put flesh to the flawed people Jesus chose to surround Himself with. Thank you Dallas for your thoughtful statement.
The show is not the end game? So . . . there's an "end game" in all of this? That's a horrifying statement. The Antichrist has an end game also. It may look a lot like this. The Mormon Church is not a Christian church. They may be good people but they are NOT followers of Jesus Christ. Do you understand that? No good will come of believers in business with unbelievers preaching the gospel "together". The Apostle Paul made that very clear. You'll see when you get to "that part" of the book.
When people say "that's not in the Bible!" I just remind them, a lot of things weren't in the Bible. The apostles had lives that weren't described in detail, Yeshuah said way more things and performed many miracles that were not recorded.
I agree on both accounts, the chosen is giving us an opportunity to bring us closer to the savior of where we are in our lives already. Each one of our journeys will look different. This is an opportunity for me to draw even closer to my savior! And I have felt strongly the HG teaching me principles from these actors and actresses sharing these stories of our saviors life.
Wonderful explanation Nancy, I agree totally with you. there will always be disagreement with those who have a weak or distant relationship with Christ, and only want to be recognized for voicing opinions, opinions are like noses, we all have one and they're all different, they did it to Jesus and He said they would do it to His true followers as well, if they were truly followers they would be praying not criticizing to cause disencention and discouraging new seekers and believers 🙏
The problem is the Christ presented in The Chosen is nothing like the true Christ in scripture.
However we have a vast number of professing Christians who are too lazy to read their bible (how you really get to know the true Christ) and would rather get a fake Jesus from a well produced TV show.
As an LDS , people may label me, judge me, condemn me, but one thing is very clear. I love the work you do, I love Jesus Christ and that being said. No one can take away the Heartfelt love my spirit feels when I watch the Chosen and apply it to my own personal love of Jesus Christ. Thank you!! Each person has their own relationship with the Savior. I judge no one. I’m just grateful for my own experience of which YOU are a huge part.
@Jason No one knows. Does it matter?
@@scottm4975 it’s not biblical
@Jason, there's a difference between a god and God. We don't worship gods. We worship God.
Whether it’s not biblical or biblical what I learnt the most in the LDS Church is to have faith in God, to forgive and repent and that’s enough for me and the Chosen just makes the cherry on top..I’m a Child of God and that’s what matters I don’t spend time on things that don’t matter it’s a waste of time God Loves us all whether He is God or a God I don’t care He answers all our prayers and I have found Him by seeking Him diligently through the scriptures and I feel closer to Him
Which Jesus do you love? The Jesus of the Holy Bible or the Jesus of the Book of Mormon? They are not the same person.
Thank you, Dallas for consistently role modeling how a true Christian behaves! You are doing God's work in more ways than one. "Tribalism" is indeed the biggest problem in the Christian world. Not the different doctrines, beliefs or interpretations of scripture, but the need to exclude others from the fold because we think our doctrines, beliefs or interpretations are superior and exclusive. If Christians feel a need to "stand against" something, how about standing against the growing tide of evil, apathy and suffering in the world?
Its impossible to believe in a different Jesus than someone else because there is only one and He exists independent of any attempts to define Him. Our job is to follow Him and try to be like Him, not gate-keep who can and cannot be a part of His fold.
Muslims have Jesus in their Quran as a highly respected prophet. Is that the same Jesus of the Bible? Do they believe in the same Jesus we know of from our Holy Bible? Doctrine and theology matter. The first commandment is 'thou shall have no other gods before me and make no graven images'. The number one sin in the heart of all men is to reject God and make a god of their own imagination or become a lower case 'g' god themselves and rule themselves. That's why the first commandment was put their- to distinguish Yaweh from all other gods.
Valea: Beautifully stated.
Whatever we " believe," we must care about how we behave as believers.
Yes, it is "tribalism," at the root of division.
AMEN. let's all stop worrying about group mentality and focus on the main unifying point- Jesus is the Christ. God is love. Share. Live as he did. Love all as He did. The End. Forget titles, give up "ownership" of Christ and go and do his great commission.
Im married to a ex mormon and they don't put Jesus first... so yeah share the true gospel everyone becasue that is evil putting Jesus second 🙄
@@barrewithkiirsten God is love but on His terms and not yours.
Thank you, Dallas, for the beautiful depiction you and your team has created.
I love my Savior Jesus Christ.
I am grateful for His atonement.
The Chosen has helped me better connect with Him.
I strive daily to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I am grateful for others who do not share all of the same traditions or beliefs that I do, but who love Jesus, and strive to be more like Him.
The only view that matters of whether I am a disciple and Christian is that of Jesus himself, and He will share that with me Himself one day.
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
This Roman Catholic has really been enjoying the show. Keep doing what you are doing. I have so much respect for you and your work. It must be so difficult to create something in this world today because everyone will comment on it and everyone will overinterpret and social media gets very strange. Don't let the critiques get into your head and make you start second guessing yourself.
That makes two of us❣️ In fact I actually found out about the existence of the show from Fr. Mark Goring's TH-cam channel, a wonderful Catholic Priest who couldn't say enough good things about "The Chosen."
Let's all pray for Dallas and the cast and crew that GOD would keep inspiring them to even greater excellence and protect them from all the evil that would like to stop this wonderful series because it is drawing people to our wonderful Savior JESUS 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖

Don't forget that "Roman Catholic" was created as a derogatory term by no Catholics. We are Catholic 😊
As a Latter-day Saint who gets TIRED of being told what I believe or what I don’t, I really appreciate what you’ve just said, Dallas. I think we could all use a little more context and nuance before labeling someone as “bad” or “good”, and I think your show has the power (and is already doing it) to bring so many people of different and even opposing creeds, doctrines, etc, closer together to the REAL Lord Jesus Christ.
I understand the extremely difficult situation you must be in, because you can’t favor the Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic, or Latter-day Saint viewpoint over another, and you have to get Jewish tradition and history correct on top of it. Thank you for being fearless and listening to God and the Holy Spirit as you create this wonderful material that will bring us all together, and nor so far apart!
Was Jesus a created being?
@@definit1on119 well, I suppose His body was created, just like yours. His spirit is eternal, with no beginning and no end. So as Joseph Smith taught is uncreated.
I know there are people out there that do not like us and have borne false witness against us. And it is frustrating as a member of the LDS faith. But people seem to like to believe the satirized version on our beliefs rather than the real ones.
If he doesn’t favor historic Christianity (including Protestant, Catholic) over LDS then that is a huge red flag. LDS are not christians.
@@definit1on119 NO! Or He could not have PAID FOR the WHOLE WORLD of humanity that He CREATED. He could only have paid for 1 other human being. God the Father PAYS HIS OWN BILLS and unlike the United States (that prints money up when it needs to pay its bills with money it doesn't have backed up with GOLD), GOD doesn't "print up a Savior" to pay His liabilities that the breaking of His Law creates: sin IS the breaking of the Law, I Jn.3:4. God pays for His OWN ASSETS AND LIABILITIES in the "business of Being God!"
@@arminius504 Correct: LDS are sunday-keepers, and have idols and that Book of Mormon that God warned about ("adding to" His Word - like God's Apostles weren't good enough to canonize Scripture - they failed: WRONG!).
I am not LDS, but even if this show was produced by LDS believers, I would still watch it. The care taken with the word and the production value merit everyone’s time to view the show.
@@TheRealRenn
Yes, go on, and for each grievance, give the episode and time stamp.
How about Jesus rehearsing the surmount on the mount... I can't wrap my mind around that one. Jesus IS the Word. He was in the beginning with God and he is God. Why would he need to rehearse?
@Renn So don't watch it. Apparently, you want a word for word rendition and not a dramatization. Even if you sit and read just whatever version of scripture you think is right, you are going to play it in your mind with whatever nit-picking colored glasses you are wearing. And you will ASSume you are right, of course. A little self righteous, don't you think. HUM, no wonder Jesus didn't like Pharisees.
@@dukeellington1987 I thought of that too but think of it this way - think of what an experience that was for Matthew. There were countless things that Jesus didn't need to do. But He did them for us, so we could see and learn. I can imagine Him rehearsing so that Matthew would have a chance to write it all down, so he could have an intimate experience in understanding how the Master's mind worked. Could this not have happened as one of the many ways Jesus did things specifically to involve men and women in His work?
I am afraid i wouldn’t. Like a great many hymns, the LDS changes enough things to tweak Christianity to fit their version. Mormonism is not Christian.
Watching the show has made me want to read my Bible more. I think it's so cool when I come across some of the stories in the old testament that you cover in the show because I can see it happening in my head and helps ground the word into reality, which makes me wanna read even more. I truly appreciate what you're doing with the show and am really looking forward to season 3.
One of my favorite aspects of this show is the context I get that isn't available in the scriptures. Having an understanding of every day life, the nature of the relationship between the Romans, Jews, Jewish leaders, and the different classes can help lend assistance in understanding the scriptures. Kinda like understanding Isaiah! Context and understanding the references is helpful.
....if your new to scripture....start reading the Gospel of John. That's the number one book for beginners. It's the Book where l got saved. It shows us in John 1:1 and John 1:14 that Jesus is God in the Flesh. Not God the Father...but God the Son. We serve a Triune God ...a Trinity. ( Father, Son and Holy Spirit.) God Bless...📜🌷✝️
@@michellecheriekjv4115 Amen
@@michellecheriekjv4115 I agree, watching the show made me want to go back to the basics and just seek to know Jesus more, and I started by slowly reading through the book of John again! I love how this show puts a face to some of these people we read about and it does make me want to read my Bible more too, to see if things really happened the way they portray them.
It isn't man that revealed this to you but God himself. Many do not see from John 1 that Jesus is God
Dallas, thank you and I appreciate where you are coming from. I am a HUGE fan of The Chosen and recommend it to people all the time. I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 30 years. We have sometimes been nicknamed LDS or Mormon which is sad because it leaves out the most important part of our religion: Jesus Christ. He is our Master and Savior. That is why The Chosen has such a large following from members of my church. We are indeed Christian. It is not a mistake to label us as such. So rest assured. It is NOT a mistake to ever call us Christians. We are proud to be so labelled. I am not incorrectly speaking for an entire group of people. Our name and website and all of our resources are abundantly clear on this matter.
@Juniper Cammack I've been a member for over 50 years and I'd be honored to have you say the same things I would have said. I agree completely. I'm sure many millions of other members do as well. ~ Ron Vincent ~
The interesting thing is every LDS person I’ve spoken to absolutely LOVE the Chosen. Draw your own conclusions
My conclusion is that this is an example of what happens in Matthew 5:16.
Those trapped in the lies of false churches are also victims of this world that ought to receive the true good news of Jesus. It's quite possible that learning about Jesus through something like the Chosen is what saves them. The show does not hide the fact that Jesus claims to be God.
Christianity is NOT a feeling. It's a relationship.
@@SimpleAmadeus the chosen saves no one
@@einarabelc5 yes a covenant relationship.

Love and appreciate all your work on chosen. Was in hospital recently and tried to share Jesus Christ so I wrote my name on the whiteboard in the room I was and wrote Chosen. Got to have many conversations about the show and of course Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour. Thank you & more blessings to you All IJCMN. Shalom
Dallas I actually did watch the beginning of one of the “anti” chosen TH-cam videos. I was wanting to hear what the problems was. I very soon realised it was not worth a listen and switched channels! I only wanted to say after listening to your video today that I pray for “The Chosen”, cast, crew and all involved every day 🙏🏻 and that you will successfully continue this wonderful work to completion. You are doing a great job all of you so stay focused and keep going! (I don’t need to tell you whose work this is, all the “anti” stuff)
I am Catholic and love the show and I am not into all this judging!!! Anyone who truly loves God knows He wants us to love each other….
God bless 🙏🏻❤️
Fellow Catholic here and I agree with you that "The Chosen" is representing the greatest of the 3 Theological values LOVE stupendously❣️
Who has not just bawled their eyes out at the aching tenderness of JESUS with the leper begging Him not to turn away, or with Simon stressed out to desperation suddenly getting a boat-sinking load of fish, or Thomas stupified by the Water turning to wine. Or Mother Mary washing JESUS' feet and bloodied hands as the disciples cringe in shame over their childish fight throwing their egos around while JESUS has been working Himself bloody.
Yeah I bet the lord of darkness is gnashing his teeth in rage at all the LOVE that this show is generating and spreading. May GOD continue inspiring Dallas and cast and crew to even greater heights.

I have never in my lifetime seen a better series. My family gets goosebumps and we shed tears of hope as we see these magnificent stories told in a fashion of beauty and truth.The Holy Spirit does testify of it to ones heart...We are an LDS family and we love The Messiah too! May God Bless you and all your efforts...
Just wanted to let you know that when I started watching The Chosen I was watching to see how closely the show followed the actual Scriptures and was very pleased with the degree of effort to stick to simply the Scriptures! Without any hint of any attempt to convert to any particular domination. I love the series because it helps make the different stories of Scripture be more real when you can see faces and mannerisms and in turn it leads to a better understanding. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see Scripture come to life! I am so very sorry that you have been put thru such undo criticism and I pray that it does not deter you from what I consider an anointed work. God bless you and all those who are dedicated to this project!
Beautifully said everything you said I agree with that as well
True? What about the part that Jesus Needed Mathew’s Help on the mount. Explain to me why Jesus would need Mathew’s help
@@SaintsLoveThyNeighbor why does that bother you? Needing help doesn't imply weakness. Jesus needed all the disciples or he wouldn't have chosen any of them. Why do you conclude that infers weakness upon Christ?

Mr. Jenkins, I have listened to this entire video and agree with much of what you say. I am a huge fan of The Chosen and will continue to buy and watch this series as long as you all keep making it. I have been searching for God all my years of living and I have come to the conclusion that he has also been looking for me too. I am a believer of Christ 100% and always will be. God did NOT say I'm giving Hollie the job to judge people therefore I can move on. I am an imperfect human and do NOT judge anyone for any reason and stay in my own lane and continue to work on myself. I hope others do as well. God bless everyone and I pray he leads us all far away from our imperfections and bring us closer to him.
God Bless You more and more.
Amen!
Actually, God did give you the job of judging others. It is called discernment in the bible and you will know them by their fruits is also in the bible.
God said to teach and correct people using his word. If you know that your fellow man is going to hell for their wrong beliefs and fail to warn them, you are just as responsible for their doom as they are.
Ezekiel 3:18, NIV: When I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.
@@CommandoJenkins Yes we can warn, teach, preach, but not pester people to the point where they are totally put off as they have their agency to choose God or Satan.
Dallas, Thank you for the clarity & pointing us all back to God’s word. We initially were drawn to Season 1 during the Covid Lockdown & were so impressed by the Biblical accuracy of THE CHOSEN that we watched the full season 10-times and began contributing to the crowd-funding of Season 2.
We have since supported and were extras in both the Sermon on the Mount (Frozen-Chosen) and in the F5K as well. We are so grateful for the continued faithfulness you and your entire crew have demonstrated in season 3 and share THE CHOSEN daily & pray for its continued impact on people around the world.
So sorry you had to deal with this. I love Jesus. The Chosen is my favorite depiction of the Savior EVER. Ever. I feel the spirit so strongly when I watch the series and honestly feel like it helps me to know my Savior better. I believe these complaints and arguments are from the adversary because it takes our attention away from where it truly needs to be: sharing the Chosen with everyone!! I am LDS. Every LDS person I have spoken to about this series loves it like I do. Dallas you are a blessing.
Mormons aren't Christian
I am a Cradle Catholic who came back to Jesus a year and a half ago. I agree with you 100% on the depiction of Jesus in The Chosen. It has helped me form a more personal relationship with Him. Made me truly love him deeply in my heart. Whatever is going on with The Chosen, it is clear to me that it is guided by the Holt Spirit. It is bringing many to Christ!
I have a dear friend who has introduced her daughter to Jesus and the Salvation story through The Chosen. Her daughter is 15, not baptized, and is discerning Christianity. She really likes the show, and we both agree, this is the most extraordinary portrayal or Jesus Christ either of us has ever seen.

Can’t wait to actually meet the real one’s in Heaven . And yes I read my Bible daily, so I know that the Chosen is not a replacement to reading God’s Word.

as a full gospel Christian, and a lifetime student of the Bible, I am amazed and moved how well you portray the fathers heart in the Chosen!
It's a bummer with how much Dallas studies the bible, and talks about counterfeits ---He still thinks Mormons following the LDS beliefs, and love the same Jesus he has.
"I will make you fishers of men. And you are to gather as many as possible, all kinds. I will sort them out later."
Our chosen church or religion is not the point. It is our individual relationship with God and His Son. Thank you, Dallas.
This show does not replace my relationship with my Savior. It does not replace scripture. It does not replace my church. It supplements and enriches it.
I remember watching the very first episode for the very first time. I knew I had found something special. I had been struggling for a long time with relating to my God. But he never left. I did. All I had to do was "look up."
The best thing that's happened IMO is The Chosen. I was drowning until The Chosen was brought to my attention. I thank God everyday because I've started really studying scripture whereas before I was just reading. Keep up the great work. I pray people stop dissecting every statement made and look internally. God bless you all
What's IMO?

@@kimberlyluper * Amen and I totally agree.
The Chosen series brings life into the scriptures especially for those of us who are visual learners sometimes more than someone just talking. Anyone who walks in the Spirit can discern properly while watching the series. Looking anxiously forward to Season 3!!! 🤗🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
Very well said!! Thank you.
GOD's WORD speaks to you when you read it. You are missing out on supernatural understanding if you do not read it. So read the WORD. Stop using visual learning as an excuse not to READ the WORD of GOD.
@@lorilfullermmd That’s not even what they said. I too am a visual learner. I read, but for something to be embedded to where I can fully understand, I need the help of visual aids. The Chosen has done that for many. Not just to understand but to feel the words and how they are connected to me.
@@ladybugmom10 Sorry I didn’t mean to cause any harm. God bless you dear one.
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣% AGREED 👍 ‼️
Dallas, Thank you for all your transparency. To me personally, you've done an extraordinary job of making sure that what you've said is not misconstrued. I think you've even gone out of your way to make sure of that (not being misconstrued). I want to say that I prayed for something like this when I was an 11 yr that had reading/comprehension issues (severe learning disability) that I told him that I needed a some kind of visual. To me, first was the passion of the Christ and now the Chosen. Thank you for your obedience. This has been a tool to help my spectrum daughter who is between Matthew and Thomas relate better and understand what I've been trying to teach her for years. This has meant so much to me. God Bless you Dallas!
Yes!!! I have two autistic sons and I feel exactly the same! 🙏❤️
Orthodox here. Love the show and I'm gratefull for it! Can't wait for season 3.
My Wife Catholic. Loves the show and is trying to get more people to watch it.
Best friend non practicing Protestant loves the show! Binged it overnight when I introduced him to it.
Bottom line is thank you Dallas and we're very grateful for the show!!
@@lydiabrown4887 haha it's truly is! Honestly with the chaos of the world affairs we're all dealing with... having Dallas make a show that brings the bible to life is really positive and something to look forwards to😊😊
Has anyone ever confronted you with 1st Timothy chapter 4?
The Apostle Paul clearly warned us about a coming Church which would teach doctrines of demons and require abstinence from foods.
@@brianhale3678 and what does that have to do with a show ? If people domt have enough common sense to go look up their own facts for themselves thats on them. Pray for them.

Verse 3.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV -
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,
3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
The Catholic Church forbids its leadership to marry.
The Orthodox have varying levels abstinence from foods, depending on the region and the time of year.
@@brianhale3678i dont follow what youre trying to point out...
Yes! Let's give each other grace, love and patience. I can't imagine being in the spotlight and having everything I do and say scrutinized. You are doing an amazing job with the chosen! Thank you for all you are doing! I'm LDS and everyone I talk to that is LDS absolutely loves this show! It gives another perspective of Christ and His ministry that is so refreshing, real and respectful. Keep moving forward and letting the spirit guide. It's obvious that you are doing that!
The Chosen is wonderful and it uplifts my spirit. I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints and I do love The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thusly, I am Christian. I love that He is worshipped, no matter the Christian denomination. We need more of this type of program in the world today. The Savior needs all of us to share His gospel and live by His example of love and understanding.🙏😁❤️
May I ask what is the LDS's teaching on who Jesus is? Is it true that you believe Jesus to be Satan's brother?
I notice you keep saying "the Saviour," which Jesus is our saviour, but do you worship Jesus as the one true God, as part of the trinity (Father, Son & Spirit)?
@@Matty_2_Tees I'd love to answer your questions if they are indeed asked in good faith:
Yes, we believe Jesus is Jehova, the God of the Old Testament, and the great I AM.
Yes, we believe that He, God the Father, and the Holy Ghost are one, but we do not believe in homoousios.
We also believe that all are spirit children of God, including Satan and all the angels, making Christ our elder brother and making Satan our brother as well. We do not believe that this makes Christ any less holy.
Mormons aren't Christian
@@tasamolic This is false. If you believe these things, good for you, but this is not what Mormonism teaches. According to Mormonism, Jesus is a man who achieved godhood, the same as others can achieve after they pass from this Earth. They do not believe that God, whom they call the first created being, is Jesus. If you believe in the Trinity (3 persons, but 1 God) good for you. I'm genuinely happy that you do, but that is not what the LDS Church believes, and that put you at odds with Mormonism as a whole.
@@samtr3992 this is absolutely incorrect. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I can tell you that we do not call ourselves Mormons and that we do not believe Jesus Christ is a man who achieved godhood. Jesus is Jehovah the Savior of the world. He is the Son of the Highest. My deliverer, Healer, and Savior. We worship the Father and the Son.
It is arrogant to believe you know more about any other faith's beliefs than those who belong to it.
The show may be a "tool" or a "step", but to me, it is Wonderful. It shows the strengths and weaknesses of the disciples, and reveals our kind, loving, winsome Saviour, Jesus the Christ. It points us back to the Bible, and brings the Gospel to life. Keep up the good work, Dallas. I am looking forward to diving into Season 3.
How about you turn your television off because that’s why it’s called telly vision programming get it programing and spend that precious time praying or sticking your face in a Bible television is a lie it’s there to deceive us and no true Christian would ever dare watch that program. This man kissed the pope‘s hand the pope he is antichrist and he’s kissing his hand no man on this earth can forgive sins only Jesus Or the most high you are falling for a Satanic agenda please I beg of you turn this off
These are not real or biblically accurateportrails. Dallas said in an interview here on TH-cam with Melissa Dockerty that 95% of the show is not found in the Bible. So, the show isn’t a tool. It’s just Dallas‘s ticket to Hollywood and he got it deceiving Christians in the process. The Lord will say to Dallas depart from me I never knew you. He is lukewarm and God was few him from his mouth. Dallas is a heretic. This show is not from God but from the devil himself. Wake up you are being deceived. Mormon LDS and Christians do not love or worship the same Jesus. Their Jesus is a created being an spirit brother to Lucifer.
@@alwaysrememberJesus this exactly. That is probably the greatest offense. This show is taking the lives of real people and changing their stories to fit what Dallas wants them to be.
Dallas, thank you for your integrity as a Christian. I am LDS, and thank you for doing such a great work with The Chosen. I believe that you are divinely inspired in this work.
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
The Book Of Mormon is not a contrary book to the Bible. It adds to it , to testify of Christ. I want to be part of a church that doesn’t hate on other religious beliefs.
@@williamjennings2801 you do realize there is only one truth, right? What you just said proves you have no idea what the Bible says.
@@robertvanwijmeren2685 You are right, but you haven’t read the Book of Mormon either, so if you want to make an argument on this case, I suggest you read The Book of Mormon yourself and more fully understand why we believe that both the Bible and The Book of Mormon go hand in hand. There’s a reason why The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.
@@ryoku6328 false, why would I read a revelation of Jesus Christ if He has already been revealed?!?!
Dallas and The Chosen are truly inspired. Thank you for helping us all feel closer to Jesus, for making him and his followers seem more realistic, and helping us understand the context behind the stories. We love watching every episode with our family.
Thankfully my first Pastor who was a humble Godly man, always told us to check everything he preached with the bible. I take the same approach to watching The Chosen and consider all of it. Thank you so much for giving a visual depiction of Christ’s time on earth! It gives me a better picture in my mind when I read God’s word! ❤️
That is great advice your pastor gave you.
Exactly what I did, the result was clear: GTFO away from this show.
"It gives me a better picture in my mind when I read God’s word"! The very reason we were given the 2nd Commandment.
Thank you Dallas! My wife and I are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) and this show has brought us closer to Jesus and personally I believe you are authentic and God is using you as a disciple of Christ in a marvelous work. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We love you and your show!!!
Bible is very clear not to add anything to the bible or take away.
So called prophet Joseph Smith has created his own version of the bible via book of Mormon
Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Friend. The Mormon church believes a false gospel and false Christ. The Mormon church believes God is a created being and has not existed for all eternity. The Bible is clear that God has existed for all eternity and there was never a time where there was other gods. None before him or after him. God says he doesn’t even know of any other gods. He’s the first and the last. The Mormons do not believe this. They believe he was a human that became God and one day we can become Gods too. They also believe Jesus is lucifers brother when the Bible is clear that Jesus created all things, including Lucifer. The Mormon church is full of lies and has a long history of abuse and scandals ever since it’s inception. Turn from this false church and believe the Christ of scripture, the one who has existed for all eternity with the father and the Holy Spirit. Repent and put your faith in the true Jesus. The Mormon gospel does not save. Watch apologia studios videos on Mormonism to learn more PLEASE.
@@eb6359 You already disobey God when he said no adding back in Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it"
So goodbye Jesus. Goodbye New Testament. Bye apostles. No Martin Luther or Protestantism since he removed 6 books from the Bible accepted for 1000 years.
I'm glad you're watching it. Keep watching it and the Bible to find more about Jesus the son of God. Do mormons still believe Jesus and satan are brothers?
@@michellesolomon1773 yes they do, and that God “Heavenly Father” was once a man… in other words God in their religion is a creature.. the Mormons need the real Jesus and real gospel that can actually save
I’m so sorry you have to deal with this as you’re so very busy getting this beautiful series out there for us all. This world needs to chill and just enjoy the real story of Jesus and his ministries. Dallas, you can’t keep everyone happy and focused on The Chosen, that’s not your job, it’s their choice to enjoy. Don’t question yourself, you’re doing beautifully. Don’t change a thing. We love you and appreciate your hard work. God bless you all in this amazing series.
I agree!
Marcia Olson well said 👏👏
I am LDS and I love The Chosen. It has changed my life and inspired me to study the scriptures so much more deeply. Thank you for all your work!
Does that include the parts where God mentions He is eternal, not created?
Do you not know that mormonism teaches that God is just a man who came from another planet; where they say he also practiced mormonism? And that Jesus and Satan were both *created* by God and that they are brothers?
The Chosen is a great show. I have felt the Spirit watching it. Don't mind the naysayers, they have their reward.
@@batmaninc2793LDS here. I'm sure that @the210official does understand what you are talking about. Respectfully, your portrayal of our doctrine is so incomplete. If you were to put that question towards any LDS adult they would know what you are talking about, but also roll their eyes at the vast reduction that you are subjecting these beliefs to. Yes, we do hold beliefs somewhat akin to what you describe here. The whole point of this video is that just because someone holds certain beliefs different from yours doesn't mean that they as a whole believe in a different god than you or hold wildly different values from you. What you've said is similar to me saying "Did you know that Catholics believe that the sacrament is LITERALLY the body of Christ?" Or "Did you know that evangelicals believe that the trinity is LITERALLY one being?" there is no substance in these statements at all, they are just lazy attacks at someone's beliefs. Nobody is getting convinced by something like that, you are actually just hardening hearts. If you actually want to understand someone's beliefs, to know if something is true or false, maybe start with study and prayer. If after you have done those things you still can't wrap your mind around someone's beliefs, just leave it at that. I'm personally so tired of these internet theologists trying to attack each other with literally the worst / laziest / frustrating arguments of all time.
@@nathantagg2691 Roman Catholic here. You might remember us from such instances as the time we were founded by Jesus Christ (circa A.D. 30) and when we provided the canon of Sacred Scripture in A.D. 382 at the Council of Rome under Pope Damasus I.
The problem with your post is that these words and teachings you're claiming to be false come from none other than Joseph Smith Jr. himself.
Whom Joseph Fielding Smith also adds that Jr. was given the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven by Christ, in "Doctrine of Salvation", and anyone who doesn't believe that goes to Hell.
Which ultimately ends up calling Christ a liar since He said the Church built on St. Simon-whose name Christ changed to the Aramaic "Kepha" (Rock; see St. John 1:42)-is what Jesus calls "My Church" and says, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it".
It is because Mormonism teaches that neither the Father, nor the Son, nor the Holy Ghost are eternal, but created beings, that Mormons can not be called "Christian" by definition.
Edit: Also,
"Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life; and I shall raise him on the last day."
(St. John 6:53-54)
How refreshing! Thank you, Dallas. I am a Christian and love Jesus with all my heart, and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I use your show all the time to introduce people to Jesus. You have made it easy to share the good message of the gospel and to start conversations about Jesus. I share your show with all my friends. God bless you and your team for the great work you are doing!

Unfortunately Mormons don't believe the same things about Christ as Christians do, many are in stark contrast. However you can follow the teachings of Christ even if your religion teaches differently about who He is
@@pagejames8754 Yup 👍. That's one of the points Dallas was making...
@@pagejames8754 You just had to say something, didn't you? I guess I did too.
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
I am LDS and I love the show! I love how Christ is portrayed. Thank you!
I'm curious if you would agree that you believe in the same Jesus as Biblical Christians?
Do you believe that Jesus is the Eternal God and there are no other Gods before or after him? (Isaiah 44:6) Do you believe that going to heaven is through faith alone by God's grace? (Ephesians 2:8-9) Or do you believe that "through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel"?
The answer is of eternal importance. Paul wrote to the Galatians that those preaching a gospel other than the gospel of grace are preaching a gospel that damns. (Galatians 1:6-9)
@@tkc3742
“Saved” has many levels. A person can be hungry or starving. A wet rag can be damp or soaking.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I would like to share a few truths.
1- Jesus saved us all, no matter what we do, from death. Everyone who has ever lived will be resurrected. It requires nothing of us. Grace alone.
2- There are many degrees of glory of Heaven. There is broadly, “Heaven,” and even more specifically, there are varying glories to which we can be resurrected to based on how we lived our life. Our desires, intentions, behavior and obedience to the will of God determines which glory we will be restored to. Paul described it, “40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption;” answering to your question, “by obedience to the laws…” is referring to the laws of which glory. Paul also mentions “the third Heaven” in 2 Corinthians 12:2
3- We love the Bible and believe the Bible. The “biblical Jesus,” required ACTION and effort in all things. Here are a handful of examples which include warnings, qualifying efforts or situations surrounding “saving.”
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7 (24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock…)
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
Mark 8
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10
Words Jesus used which require personal effort:
Enter
Seek
Knock
Ask
Receive
Follow
Love
Preach
Feed
Trust
Believe
Endure
Pray
Repent
Faith
So much more! These words serve a purpose. Our desire to obey the will of the Father makes a huge difference. Jesus taught us to submit to His will. We must become sanctified and be clean to be able to stand in His presence.
4- We believe in God, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. There is no other Savior, no other God we worship- nor ever will.
Satan has a goal to divide, confuse and bring misery. Members of our church are hated without cause. I pray to the same God you do. I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I do my best to repent, repent, repent as I work to walk as Jesus walked. He showed the way.
Sitting at a new Bible study, where everyone was introducing their religious background, I saw many faiths represented all holding a Bible in their lap. Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic, baptist, etc… they were all welcome. But when I shared the church I attend, I was not welcome. I had no problem with anyone else’s religion, Jesus wants us to gather in His name. He promised, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
The varying differences in the details of a religion do not need to stop us from uniting as brothers and sisters in Christ. I will continue trying to gather with all I can in His name and fully intend to feel His presence. I pray anyone with ears to hear, will hear.
Love That! Very Well Said.

Arguably, that's because they're not making it mormon.
@@batmaninc2793 huh?
@@SemisiBenLaman If it were made to appeal to the mormon interpretation of Jesus, God, the gospel, it wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as it has been.
Much in the same way that it would fail to match its current success if it were done from the interpretation of the jehovah's witnesses; who say Jesus isn't God, but the archangel St Michael.
It'd be scandalous.
@@batmaninc2793 it’s actually pretty similar to what we teach. Not saying that’s why it’s popular. But I hear you.

Hey, man. Like many of the comments before, can't thank you enough for helping bring The Chosen to life and allow millions more people become more acquainted with Jesus. I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't know all the specific differences between Christian and non-Christian religions, but I'm thinking we could all stand to be a little more Christ-like no matter where we worship. I'm grateful for all that The Chosen has done to get us a little closer to that goal. Keep up the the great Work, brother.
@ Tim Johnson if you truly want to start to understand the differences, you need to realize that;
The Bible isn’t corrupted, 23,000 ancient manuscripts and the Dead Sea Scrolls plus the writings of the Apostolic fathers is proof it’s not altered and our translations are correct.
Also the Christian faith and it’s beliefs were not lost once the Apostle John died that’s actually insulting to Christianity it claims those persecuted and martyred during the 150 yrs of persecution didn’t know who they were following in Christ and what they were dying for .
Didn’t it occur to you to wonder why your BOM is written in the Kings English of 1611 and is almost formatted like the KJV if the Bible when in 1830 no one in the America’s spoke the Kings English so why would God address Smith in a language America’s didn’t speak? Furthermore why did Smith plagiarized 27 chapters from the KJV w 17 th century added italics that aren’t in the original apparently Smith lied to Mormons the Bible isn’t corrupted after all if he’s willing to outright steal word for word from the Bible!
@@Pkicker3 Hey, man. I appreciate the time you took to respond to my post. I'm grateful to all those early followers of the Savior who paved the way on a road to a happier life. I love the Bible! I love the humility of Moses, the courage of Joseph, the determination of Paul, and everything in between--especially the words coming from The Word Himself. We are truly blessed to have those scriptures!
As far as the Book of Mormon goes, man, I love that book, too! It's not a record of God addressing one person, it's a history book largely covering about a thousand years of a family from Jerusalem that ended up in the Americas. If you've ever felt the Holy Spirit testify to you while reading the Sermon on the Mount in the book of Matthew (I love that part!), then I can promise you that you'll feel that same Spirit reading about the Savior's interactions with the people in the Americas. As for why the Book of Mormon was translated into a style more like the King's English, I don't know the answer to that one. All I know is that when I read from that book, I get the same brilliant inner vibe I get when I'm reading the Bible.
Much success to you brother! Thanks for being a follower to the ultimate example who we should all be following!
@@grooveecard
The BOM isn’t History, I studied history in college the names tribes nations in that book didn’t exist, I own a BOM as well I ve read it they aren’t there in history.
No one even by oral tradition knows those tribes tongues nations. None of the American tribes have history of a messiah coming to them 2000 years ago we still have those nations in existence today none of them have the BOM as part of their history.
No one in the America’s was spreading the message of a Christ crucified until the Europeans came and began to teach the Indians that’s historical fact.
You have a false Jesus; Lucifer’s brother who became a God by obeying law like his God before him. This is contrary to the Jesus taught in John 1 and the rest of the Bible who has always been God. Isaiah 43:10 says that there is only one God, Mormonism teaches that there are trillions of Gods and you can become a God one day.
There is only one God.
There will only ever be one God.
Isaiah 46:9-10 ESV -
9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
Flee this false church while you can.

And I love thinking about how it gathers so many of different faiths and beliefs together. Thank you for working so hard to portray the Jesus I imagine as I read scripture. It has helped me to improve on my relationship with Him as I pray and study scripture more intensely. God bless you and your work.
Amen! I’m a member and feel the same way. Thanks so much!

Is Jesus a created being?
Is it the same "Holy Spirit" that gives you a "testimony" that the Book of Mormon is true?
@@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel The same "Holy Spirit" that teaches us all things (John 14:26). I wonder whether you have read what the Book of Mormon actually teaches about Jesus Christ. Would you be willing to read one chapter? I recommend Moroni chapter 7 as a good summary of the book's Christology.
The Chosen is being used by our God of the Bible to reach so many and it is felt by all who really know Him and those that don’t but need Him...others are still afar off and we pray they will come to know Him. Thank you Dallas for all you do ...This show is amazing and very very anointed. God bless you and all involved! 💁🏻♀️❤️🙏
I have lived in Utah since 1982, I was raised in several different Protestant/Evangelical Church’s in Northern California and chose the Roman Catholic Church as my Church in High School some 50+ years ago. I’m attending a Zoom Bible study using The Chosen out of St Rose of Lima Church in Simi Valley, Calif. It’s my sincere belief that The Choose is another tool God has given us to stand together with our Common beliefs as a group United that does not make us change or abandon our Core Doctrine beliefs of each of our Churches. I also sincerely believe that we are in another time of Separating the goats from the sheep is it the end of times I don’t know, but I do know if we don’t come together as Christians and stand up for for Our Lord, the people that belong to Satan will pick each Church off one at a time using other Christians/Churches to do it. God uses each one of us and has known each of us, Isaiah 43 and only He can Judge us in the end. To me this is just another wedge/attack Satan is trying to use for disunity so he can do his work. This year I’ve seen more Christian movies in Theaters then ever before, Purgatory, The Chosen Christmas, Fr Stu, Alive and several other previews from other Christian groups and Pro-Life. Prayers for your part in this, Dallas
Yes, yes! That Zoom class sounds fun!
problem is that the core doctrine of the Roman Catholic church are apostate. Praying to saints? Praying to Mary? believing that she is divine. All false doctrine.
I think your followers would be amazed at how many Latter-day Saints love The Chosen and the work you are doing. When it comes to the Savior, we are much more similar than we are different and I have thought about how you are putting Jesus out there for people to truly come to know in a deeply personal way at a critical time in the world’s history. So thank you from one whose home is covered with paintings of He who is my King and friend, Julie
No, we don't want to be God. We are not looking to become God and equal to God or above God. We are here to serve God. That's the difference. Left hand vs right Hand.
The real Jesus is the one in the Bible... not the chosen.... want to make a "LDS" disagree? Represent Jesus as HE did in the Bible... that is the opposite of what we see in the comment section. Let's stick our heads in the sand and pretend that is not a problem....

You do seek to be of the order of Melchizedek do you or do you not?
@ J Turner no actually you are not more similar, I am amazed that every single Mormon who so claims to love this series doesn’t grasp the episode: I am He when Jesus is at the well talking to the Samaritan woman.
The Chosen is directly quoting the Bible correctly when Jesus refutes you Mormons on the Father ever being a man Jesus spells it out clearly to the woman the father is not a man so how do love a show that refutes your heresies you can’t explain it away to your kids it’s right there in living color and audio the Father is not a man the Father is Spirit and only Spirit.
@@GodsNode be God? Christians believe that? sounds like the freemason?
Please don't feel that everyone feels this way Dallas the show you put out is amazing touching & shows the love of Jesus for us. Thank you for your work 🙏
I almost never binge watch any tv shows, but I have binge watch The Chosen many times and have rewatched season 3 three times so far. Also, I want to say that I often forget that Jesus in the series is really Johnathan Roummie (SIC). This series is so well written and so well acted. I am a 77 year old evangelical who was saved in 1968 and have read and studied my Bible daily with prayer daily for many, many years.
@The Chosen Thank you for being so careful not to exclude any faith tradition. I see this show as one of those things that helps us come to a "unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God". Ephesians 4:13
I've never liked the idea behind saying "We don't believe in the same Jesus". Obviously, there is only one Jesus of Nazareth who inspired the writing of the NT. I feel it is much more charitable to say "We don't believe the same things about Jesus". It acknowledges differences without delegitimizing the other person's faith and experiences with the Savior.
Well said!
You and your team are doing a fantastic job. Don’t allow comments of fools to distract you from this worthy mission. I am very dubious of any “Christian” who professes to tell others what they do or don’t believe. You’re very correct about the heart.
Do you then reject Paul? He held the body of Christ in Corinth accountable. I can't think of a single prophet or follower of Christ biblically that didn't. Are we "Fools" for questioning why unbelievers are behind the creation of the show? Or is it foolish to reject the words of our Lord when He states we are not to unequally yoke ourselves to unbelievers? Especially, when the assertion is that God Himself stated the characters of the Chosen are how people would come to visualize Him and His friends. Dallas has stated, that the majority of people affiliated with the show are unbelievers. How do unbelievers present the "Authentic Jesus", if they don't know the "Authentic Jesus"? Perhaps some of us know a little more about the creators of the show, have done detailed research, read their books, and followed their interviews and statements more thoroughly. Or perhaps some of us are just more devoted to the written Word than others. We are however praying for all affiliated with the show, and the viewership. We understand the danger in altering the way people visualize scripture by presenting assertions. It's true to say as Dallas has, to his credit, that the show is not a replacement for Scripture. It's also true to say that many visualize the characters on the show when reading their Bibles. Also true to say that this is the creator's goal.

Sound very condemning.
@@dsmith0106 my point exactly. I think the wise stance to take it to attempt to emulate Christ-like compassion towards others, even of completely different faiths, meanwhile focusing on getting and keeping your own house in order.
@@dsmith0106 Respectfully, I imagine you must find the Authentic Word of God very condemning as well, as our concerns are pertaining to the violation of the Word of God.
I love your comment. You really nailed it. THANK YOU!!
I can appreciate the difficult position in being in leadership when every move and word is scrutinized. Blessings on you as you serve the LORD! 🙏🏻
I find this message to actually be really sincere. I didn't even know it was an issue. Respect for clarifying. Thank you. Also, I always follow the guidance from Matthew 7:16 - "You will know them by their fruits." There is no logical explanation for The Chosen's inspiration than spiritually inspired. You clearly were led to create this show. As an LDS person myself, I never thought anything else, and I have always been taught that this applies to all people even outside the walls of the church. I also understand that our community can sometimes be a bit insular and has created bad blood with other denominations in the past by going around and telling people their faith is wrong or incomplete, and to follow us as the "only 100% true church." I think the church has kind of realized that maybe this 1800s enlightenment preaching style is not great for trying to become a unified body of people under our faith in Christ. I am really happy you posted this because it shows a fair representation of people's faith. I see myself as a Christian, and I 100% believe that you and your team behind this show were divinely inspired to create it, and I think it serves as a great lesson and reminder for LDS people of how God can work through people that are not LDS as well. I actually believe that God purposefully worked through you, as someone who is not part of the LDS community, because this lesson is very important for people in our church. Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU! Everyone I know is so inspired by you.
As a Latter-day Saint, I just wanna say thank you for this, and thank you for the awesome show you've given us!
I just want to ask you if you believe that Jesus Himself is created. Or, is He an Eternal Being Who had no beginning? You can't believe both ideas about Him. The Scriptures don't support His being created. They do support His being the 2nd Person in the Godhead. All 3 in the Godhead are eternal and have always been.
By the way, you don't need the Book of Mormon. It denies the authority of the Bible. All of the doctrines in the Book of Mormon came from a fallen angel that is destined for eternal punishment in the lake of fire, and he well knows this. Fallen angels will lie every chance they get just like the being they serve, satan. He is the father of lies.
I'm curious if you would agree that you believe in the same Jesus as Biblical Christians?
Do you believe that Jesus is the Eternal God and there are no other Gods before or after him? (Isaiah 44:6) Do you believe that going to heaven is through faith alone by God's grace? (Ephesians 2:8-9) Or do you believe that "through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel"?
The answer is of eternal importance. Paul wrote to the Galatians that those preaching a gospel other than the gospel of grace are preaching a gospel that damns. (Galatians 1:6-9)
@@tkc3742 Also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the answers are: Yes. Yes. Yes. and Yes.
@@bubbly_eeyore interesting bc Mormonism is an entirely DIFFERENT faith then Biblical Christianity. It's not even considered a denomination of the Christian faith by Christians. Nor is Catholicism.
@@karaa7595 Christianity by definition is, “the religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices.” Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are taught based on the teachings and person Jesus Christ is, meaning the example he set for all of us during His mortal ministry. Thus, members of The Church of Jesus Christ who are truly living according to the teachings of the church are in fact Christians and strive to follow the very Jesus spoken about in the Bible:) I think as we take the time to educate ourselves on all different religions, we come to find out that we’re actually a lot more alike than we are different! hope this helps:)
I understand what you are saying. Thank you for clarifying that not everyone who belongs to any church group believe in the same Jesus. We are not in the position to judge the faith of another person. I so appreciate your candor in clarifying that. I am an evangelical who has a few LDS friends who I would say believe in the same Jesus I do. But only God knows our hearts. One thing I do know is that I love God & I am going to love the people around me.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for this reply! I agree wholeheartedly. My family loves The Chosen and looks forward to season 3! The show has brought us closer to Jesus.
Dallas, I just have to say that because of you and your project and God's hand on all of this I am excited to open my Bible and read all the stories. Now when I read a character I can put a face to them and it just makes it feel more relatable having watched the Chosen (over and over again lol) and feeling a connection with the characters that they just don't seem so strange anymore. As if the bible were my personal family history! I love family history! Thanks to you I took action to read my Bible more and not just tell myself that I know I should read it more. Love you Dallas and all you allow the Holy Spirt to do through you. He is getting all of the glory!!!💞
Thank You!! I agree that having the visual of the faces and the accuracy of the background that they appear in has helped me in my readings of the New Testament especially. It has helped with the OT, as well.
Dear Dallas. I thank you for the enormous effort of giving us such a vivid representation of the Gospel with love and respect for the Word. Many people is motivated to read the Bible again because of the show. You have done it with a pure heart and great generosity. For the rest "we all fall short of the Glory of God ".♡
Thank you for being so patient and transparent Dallas! I would encourage everyone and this includes myself, before jumping to conclusions, judging others and gossiping, is to first see and deal with our own issues of misgivings. And then truly seek the truth, to vet out the information before acting on being a whistle blower, making complaints and trouble for someone else. For one I am grateful for such a wholesome, well thought out program !! We are each responsible for our own walk with Jesus, reading and knowing the Bible. Walking our own walk as best as one can is our main responsibility.
“For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7
Keep doing what your doing Dallas! The Chosen is changing lives. I am a Christian and this series has amplified my love for Jesus and has led me to read the gospels in great detail for myself. The Chosen has brought the scriptures to life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Ignore the haters…. I admire how you take time to address concerns but don’t let it stop you !!!!!
You and me both! I love this show beyond anything I have experienced in my Christian life!
So the fact that Jesus is created and didn’t become god until after he ascended into Heaven, that doesn’t matter?
@@eagleclaw1179 These things really do blow the human mind, don't they?!
Anyway, I hope this helps...
1. Jesus was always there from the beginning: He was the Word of God and was God...
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. Jesus was God and is "I Am", a very sacred name of the Almighty God (the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), which when uttered idly was considered blasphemy...
John 8:58
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am.”
3. Jesus was not "created" in the full sense of the word because He was always there and was and is God in the first place. But we are told that He became flesh and took on the likeness of man in humility to become a servant and a sacrifice for us.
John 1:13 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Philippians 2:7 But made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Jesus was God in the first place, which is different from the Egyptian god philosophy that one was human and then became a god after death like the Pharaohs believed. He had to leave His former glory to walk on earth as a human and when the Bible talks about Him ascending to heaven and being given glory and sitting on the right side of God, it's really talking about a reinstatement of the glory and I believe that His form is probably now different compared to how He might have been like as "the Word". But I guess I'll find out eventually.
Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one God. The Hebrew term Elohim is actually a plural form, but in the text, it reads to the equivalent of "Elohim is". Amazingly awesome!
@@lollipop2993
I’m a Christian, I believe in the God, the 1 and only true God.
As far as your explanation of Elohim, I understand what you are saying, but I would suggest that you familiarize yourself a little better with how Elohim is used in scripture. Elohim is not a proper name for God, Elohim is used to describe, men, angels, and judges. So it would be incorrect to say Elohim is used only for God
@@eagleclaw1179 I get you. We call God 'God', but "gods" is also the term used to refer to the deities of the Hindus, the Romans and Greeks, etc., and we call Jesus 'Lord', but that can refer to lords as in lords and ladies, and we use 'my lord' in a courtroom for a male judge, so it's the same situation I guess.
Our God is the one true God and so we use a capital to show that. In some Jewish prayers and blessings, Elohim is used to address God, and Elohim is present right from Genesis 1:1. Hebrew, as far as I know, is the only language that shows the plural "Gods" with a singular verb showing the multiplicity of God but still referring to Him as one. That's why I put that example in there.
Thanks for getting back to me. Hope and pray you walk closer with the Lord each day, and that He will reveal more truth and glory to you just as I desire for myself.
There are and will be ALWAYS someone who wants to dog you no matter what you say, think, or do. Stand true to who you are and what you believe and let God handle the rest. Love the Chosen series and pray for the cast and all those involved in producing it!

Friend. The Mormon church believes a false gospel and false Christ. The Mormon church believes God is a created being and has not existed for all eternity. The Bible is clear that God has existed for all eternity and there was never a time where there was other gods. None before him or after him. God says he doesn’t even know of any other gods. He’s the first and the last. The Mormons do not believe this. They believe he was a human that became God and one day we can become Gods too. They also believe Jesus is lucifers brother when the Bible is clear that Jesus created all things, including Lucifer. The Mormon church is full of lies and has a long history of abuse and scandals ever since it’s inception. Turn from this false church and believe the Christ of scripture, the one who has existed for all eternity with the father and the Holy Spirit. Repent and put your faith in the true Jesus. The Mormon gospel does not save. Watch apologia studios videos on Mormonism to learn more PLEASE.
If you believe God is an exalted man and that one day we can achieve godhood, you don't know "the real Jesus".
@@jeffschlueter1660 amen brother
Jesus said "I am the way, The truth and the life, nobody comes to the father but by me". Joseph smith is a false prophet just as Jesus had said it. Muhammed is also a false prophet and many more that followed.
Matthew 24:24
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Salvation is by the grace of God so that no man can boast.
Lds members belive that they will become gods when they die. They will inherit new planets, they believe that Lucifer is brother of Jesus. They believe that their garment and underwear will protect them from fire. Its a cult and if you are not in it they dont like you period. Actually lds members from slc believe that they are better than lds members from other states/cities. On Sundays lds members dont say hi to non members, they completely ignore you. I guess those teaching of Jesus to love your neighbor as yourself dont apply.

Here is true LDS doctrine not your internet stupidity
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

"Be Thou My Vision" is one of my all time favorite hymns, and when I sing every verse of it to myself throughout the day, my heart and spirit and vision are lifted to heaven and I glory in his goodness and power and almighty LOVE! He was born of immaculate conception to Mary, lived, ministered, was crucified for our sins, and was resurrected on the third day. I seek to follow Him and pattern my life and heart after his and strive to seek his guidance and protection in all I do!

They may even agree He is the Son of God BUT they DO NOT BELIEVE Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose on the third day and conquered death so that we might be BORN AGAIN. This is the CORE belief of the Christian faith. Jesus was the sacrifice for sin. They are very deceptive when they talk about Jesus. They do not believe in THE NAME OF JESUS. They do not. They are followers of their man-made Prophet, Joseph Smith. Whatever is in the Book of Mormon is greater than what is in The Bible. The FINAL AUTHORITY in The Mormon Church is The Book of Mormon.

@@misshoodsschoolbuslife1871 I’m so sorry for the confusion. I’m not sure where you’ve heard or read these lies but let me help clarify.
“Mormons” or “LDS” (these are nicknames) are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Yes, the same Savior that paid for your and my sins and arose on the 3rd day. That is why the name of their church has the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, in its name. I believe Satan tries to cause division by confusion but this is one that doesn’t make any sense to me. If you ever get a chance, go visit their church. You’ll see very quickly they believe in Jesus and worship Him as their Lord and Savior.
I ask you to please stop sharing incorrect information as it only adds to Satan’s desire to cause division among us Christians.
But don’t believe me, go check it out for yourself.
@@misshoodsschoolbuslife1871 my how confused you are and not sure where u get your facts. We absolutely believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. We absolutely believe he paid the price for our sins on the cross and we celebrate his resurrection which occurred 3 days after his death. Not sure why we have to tear each other down. I have friends of many faiths and love them all. Why can't we get past the hatred and focus on what's truly important and that is Christ. We do not worship Joseph Smith in any manner. The Book of Mormon does not Trump the Bible in any way and is a companion to the Bible. In the front of the Book of Mormon it states that its another testament of Jesus Christ and written to prove to Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ. One of my favorite scriptures in there states, " there is none other name given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved." Of that I say Amen. By the way I don't want to argue. We all have the God given freedom to believe and practice how we want which is such a blessing that many don't have. Let's work at building each other up and not tearing each other down due to our differences.
@@jeremypreston1593 the Bible doesn't need another companion. That is heresy. Jesus Christ does not need another testament. I got my facts about The Mormon Church from a representative of The Mormon Church. I stand by what I say. The Mormon Church is not a follower of Jesus Christ. The Christian community does not recognize Joseph Smith as one who meets the same criteria of those who the Holy Spirit spoke through as they wrote the New Testament. Joseph Smith was a very troubled man. There is no need for further discussion. I believe The Mormon Church is a cult. You will not convince me otherwise. Enough said.
What I love about the Chosen is Protestant, Catholic, LDS, although different in significant ways, were able to come together in their united love and faith in our Savior Jesus Christ and make The Chosen possible. What a beautiful thing that was created out of this unity in faith in Jesus. Thank you Dallas for bringing the loaves and fishes and allowing God to multiply. God bless you!
So true
Catholicism and Mormonism are cults. They lead people to hell!
Jesus Christ said, "I am the Way, The Truth and The Life, no man comes to the Father but through Me."
well said
What a stupid comment comment, LDS preaches a different Jesus, they literally believe Jesus is satans brother, as well God was once a man who became a god and just like the past gods and future gods and YOU too can become a god if you do works. That is what the LDS teaches. They preach a false Jesus, a false view of God, and ultimately their gospel does not SAVE.
Unity with liars is not unity. It's confusion.
God left us his testimony. These false Church's add and subtract from what God said. And there is no telling what the truth is anymore.
By joining yourselves with them you unify yourself with their soon coming judgment.

It has been a great addition to my scripture study and has helped me look at our Savior Jesus Christ in different, unique and helpful ways!

Bella, if you are LDS, the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of your religion clearly contradict each other. The same way the Jesus mentioned in the Quran is not the real Jesus.

@@rayzina147 Praise God! Jesus is our Lord and Savior. NOT of the LDS faith.
@@GodsNode LDS are NOT Christians.
Do you understand the key differences between Biblical Christianity and Mormon theology? Please take time to work through these differences so that you may know that Jesus in the Bible is not a brother of Lucifer. Jesus is the creator through whom all creation exists. Lucifer is a created being who then later fell and became Satan. Also, the earthly body of Jesus was conceived of The Holy Spirit without copulation, whereas the LDS has traditionally taught then Father had physical sex with Mary. So you can see that there are key differences that are very important and are salvation issues. Thank you.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am pretty sure that the Jesus I love, follow and serve is the same one that is being portrayed on CHOSEN (the Jesus from the scriptures). I have visited SEVERAL churches and got to know them at a deep level (long story), and I'm always surprised at how much gossip and energy goes into criticizing other people's beliefs (maybe because Christians are still learning how to love and respect one another, just like at the time of Jesus). I love the show CHOSEN, and my family and I will keep watching it. I also think that we have to pay attention close attention to "division and contention among churches" because this is not the Lord's way.
I hope the Second Coming happens sooner than later 😅.
But the LDS believe Jesus is a god not God Almighty. To deny the divinity of Christ is no small error. How do you reconcile your beliefs with the 1st and 2nd century beliefs of the martyrs of the Early Church? What you believe is different from what they believed, what the Apostles taught, and what their disciples taught. First generation disciples of the Holy Apostles, such as Polycarp, Clement, and Ignatius. Nevertheless, love of Jesus and of God, and acknowledging the Holy Trinity is not a bad thing, it is a very good thing, and in these things there certainly is common ground.
We are told to test the spirits to see if they are from God. We're not told to just live and let live and be one, happy, "Christian" family. In the case of LDS, the spirit isn't from God, and your beliefs are just a little different, they're heresy. It doesn't matter which Jesus you think you're following, when you start right off the bat by saying God is an exalted man and we can be like Him one day if we do everything right. Nah.
@@jeffschlueter1660 I thought the Chosen was about building faith, not about attacking each other's faith.

@@jeffschlueter1660 I have tested and have found LDS fully in line with Jesus and scripture. Holy Ghost powerfully witnessed. Those who genuinely know Christ, know when he is in other contexts.

See, the Joey Witnesses and Morm Cultists are just doing bidness ($$$.$$) MONEY - MONEY - MONEY.
I was taught long ago by a most unexpected teacher whom I never forgot the counterfeit money analogy. The Truth stands on it's own merit and does not need defending. For over 2000 years there has only been One Truth, One Word and One God.

See it would be the same thing as if I went into a public bathroom and took a dump, and then when I came out I would proclaim: "The Angel Maroni came to me while I was going doo-pee and gave me the 'Book of Brian'.
You believers that have been following the one Holy Bible forever got it wrong. Now you have to read my 'Bible' - The Book of Brian so that you can have Eternal Salvation.
After I totally convince my 'followers' that they are Church obligated to fork over 10% of their gross earnings to the Church, I never have to work another day in my life!
So many people have proven that L.S.D. Mormy Cultist Book false, it befuddles me how many intelligent, smart thinking people with high I.Q.'s actually believe that crap.
Those L.S.D.'s are so freaking gullible, they actually believe that they inherit other planets after they die on Earth... O.M.G. 🙄😝
See, the Joey Witnesses and Morm Cultists are just doing bidness ($$$.$$) MONEY - MONEY - MONEY.
I was taught long ago by a most unexpected teacher whom I never forgot the counterfeit money analogy. The Truth stands on it's own merit and does not need defending. For over 2000 years there has only been One Truth, One Word and One God.
I truly pity non believers, especially for those L.S.D. folks (not a typo - L.S.D.).
See it would be the same thing as if I went into a public bathroom and took a dump, and then when I came out I would proclaim: "The Angel Maroni came to me while I was going doo-pee and gave me the 'Book of Brian'.
You believers that have been following the one Holy Bible forever got it wrong. Now you have to read my 'Bible' - The Book of Brian so that you can have Eternal Salvation.

@Ace Spades If you're being judgmental of others, and thus not following Christ's direction to "judge not", how can you call yourself a Christian?
@Ace Spades Jesus says I am. ( John 13:34-35, 14:15) Are you a follower of Jesus?
@Ace Spades opinion, not fact.
I am so proud of Dallas!!! He has taken the high road with the comments made about him personally or the the way he’s used his God-given gift to change people’s lives through The Chosen series! (I am certainly one of them) I am sure that God is well pleased because of the untold numbers of souls who have received His Son as their Savior and/or have rededicated theirs lives or has found new hope in their season of pain and suffering!(🙋🏽♀️)
My prayer is that God will continue to bless and use this man (and all involved with The Chosen) to spread the good news of Jesus Christ! I also pray as well that Almighty God our Father would touch the hearts of those who maybe spiteful, jealous, influenced by the devil or just not a faithful follower of Christ! To God be all the glory, honor and praise!!! In Jesus’ mighty, matchless and marvelous name. Amen
Thank you Dallas. Well said. You articulate your beliefs and feelings very well.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am grateful to know and love the same Jesus that you do.
God bless you to continue in the magnificent work that you are doing, thank you. You and those working with you are a Great Blessing to the world!
False Jesus
Thank you Dallas and the whole Chosen team, amazing production and looking forward to watching more and rewatching previous episodes. I am so thankful for Jesus in my life and this show helps strengthen that relationship. Get to know people of other faiths, chances are that you will have much more in common with them than different.
Dallas, thank you for this! I think it is really sad that you even have to do it. I saw (did not watch) a 5 hour video on why people should NOT watch The Chosen! I AM LDS, raised Pentecostal, and find it very interesting that people feel to judge whether or not someone is or is not a Christian! I wonder if they have read the scriptures where Jesus gave this advice (for lack of a better word) Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind and might. And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets!! If we would ALL try to obey these two commandments we wouldn't have all this division and incorrect judgements about others. I love The Chosen, was turned on to it by one of my LDS friends! Several of my LDS friends watch it, and I personally have encouraged my family and others to watch it. I think you are doing a wonderful job. I believe that Heavenly Father loves each of us so much that He provides MANY different ways for us to come to Him and to Jesus, as each of us are very different from one another. And you are providing one of those ways. Keep up the good work and know that a lot of us love and appreciate you and all of those who are working with you to bring us closer to Jesus Christ.
I'm curious if you believe what the Bible says about false Christs that will deceive many? What is a false Christ and how will we recognize one?
@@tkc3742 simple. One who proclaims themself to be Christ. But clearly is not. There have been people who claimed themselves to be a reincarnation of Jesus. Kinda self explanatory why they are false Christs.
I think the fact that so many LDS people and other Christian’s are identifying with the Jesus Christ portrayed in “The Chosen” probably would be an indicator of how closely the LDS faith and other Christian faiths understand Christ.
@@chrisblanc663 Yes, someone falsely claiming to be Christ would be a false Christ, but so would a teaching about Christ that is non Biblical. For example, Islam teaches that Jesus didn't die on the cross. That is a false Christ that cannot save.
Mormonism teaches that Christ is not the eternal God, just one of many gods and that Christ's work on the cross is not enough to save, rather salvation is "after all we can do." That too is an un-Biblical and therefore, false Christ.
@@tkc3742 depends on your definition of “all we can do” what if that just means accept Christ as savior. It’s a frustratingly vague term. But then it’s also not definitive. Also James 2 states that faith without works is dead. You wouldn’t claim that James was a false Christ for focusing on a particular point. What if the works means love God, love your neighbor?
Also perhaps simantics. But this is the definition of false Christ in case you were legit asking: FALSE CHRIST, ψευδόχριστος, G6023, one who makes a spurious claim to be the Messiah.
So it isn’t false teachings about Christ.
LDS follow the same messiah that we read about in the New Testament. They do have some doctrinal ideas and views that are different then other Christian groups. But that is similar to how different Christian denominations understand grace, or baptism, or miracles etc…
@@chrisblanc663 there is so much at stake putting your trust in the Mormon Jesus. Please watch the video above and see for yourself
My son who is Six is having dreams of Jesus regularly since we started watching Chosen as a family. He says they feel so good.
I hugged him for a good long time and asked if they feel that good.
He said
“Way better”
What child thinks anything is better than a mother’s love?
Only one who has truly experienced Jesus.
Dallas thank you for the Chosen! These last three years have been so awful and watching The Chosen has given a light in my world. I have lost several loved ones and not having had a strong religious connection in my life currently it has given me something to think about. I actually got out my Bible to read and feel a strong need to have it with me when I travel. I am finding comfort it in. I understand that the show may not be word for word as the Bible but it gives us hope. It has given me hope and I have desperately needed that. It has made me more curious as to what the actual scriptures say. I am actively looking to better understand the life of Christ and I have never had that desire. So I think the purpose was to get people thinking and curious and eager to learn more. It has done that for me and my husband. This world has changed so much and not always in a good way. So I needed something to help me and the Chosen has helped. Personally I think the world of Christianity in general is under attack. I think that is what we should all be concerned about. That is the real evil we all have to worry about. I was grateful to find something I could watch that made me feel good and to want to learn more about Jesus Christ. Something positive to think about and get my mind off the events taking place in our world. Something that caused me to think more about my own life and spirituality. I am only beginning but I thank 'The Chosen' for being there to inspire me to want to do this. I look forward to the next season. With all the evil and bad things in our world I think it so sad that people can not see the good The Chosen, the people involved in the series have been trying to do for all of us. Again thank you, I really needed this wonderful series.
"Personally I think the world of Christianity in general is under attack. I think that is what we should all be concerned about." Yes! And the attack is not coming from without, it is coming from within Christianity. Some little-known guy once said, "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." What is this backbiting of other Christians but the devil's attempt to divide and conquer the kingdom? The whole basis of Jesus' teachings is LOVE--for God, for your neighbor, and for yourself. He continually criticized the Pharisees for thinking they were better and more worthy than anyone else. "Work out your own salvation..." and allow others to work out theirs. If all Christians were working on love instead of putting down others' beliefs, Christianity would be doing amazing things in our world, just as it did in the beginning. All the backbiting and holier-than-thou is stunting our growth and limiting our understanding of God and Jesus.
Keep up the good work, Dallas!
@@hollygodfrey5257 Thanks
I love the Chosen!! It's my favorite depiction of Jesus & the gospels next to Jesus of Nazareth ( which was a little more conservative). The Chosen is so down to earth and understandable even those who don't particularly know the scriptures can understand it. I feel moved every time I watch it and I believe the Holy Spirit will use the Chosen to lead people to Jesus and to read the Bible. God's ways are not our ways and He will use and lead men like Dallas and Jonathan to consider that God is real and loves them. Thank you Dallas and cast of the Chosen! GOD bless you and continue to use this series and ministry for His glory and will!!✝️🕊🙏💗
I am grateful that the LDS church gave you the land in Utah!
@@kimberlycrane5324 they didn't give the land, they allowed it's use for filming. Not sure if they charged rent or not.
Too many people, "christians" and otherwise, aren't happy unless they're smack dab in the middle of a controversy where there isn't one. Thank you for exhaustively explaining yourself with almost superhuman patience. I hope you keep to you statement about this being the last time you address the issue. Troublemakers/trolls sometimes need to be ignored once you've done & said everything possible.
It’s a pretty big controversy if someone is saying the teachings of the LDS movement are compatible with scripture.
@@Quincy_Morris But that's not what he said.
Well said, my sentiments exactly, first comment
@@Quincy_Morris TOTALLY! Watch them flip the tables after the church leaves to coincide with that false prophet the poop I mean pope
@@Quincy_Morris 🎯 🎯 🎯
Hey Dallas,
I'm a Latter-day Saint and I love your show. I know tons of other members of my church who love it too.
I appreciate what you said. I've been on a journey of coming to see people individually as well. I've had negative interactions with people of other faiths and have unfortunately made blanket judgements about those faiths as a whole. Yet, I hate it when people do that about my domination, so what right do I have to do that to someone else? This is something I'm working on improving.
Thanks for the show and all the work you're doing!
My family and I absolutely love The Chosen. I’ve heard the talk but I’ve not heard or seen anything in the text of the show that is not plausible. I’ve watched (and loved) other movies, such as The Ten Commandments and understand that this is a movie. Some theatrical license is certainly to be expected. It doesn’t take away from its effectiveness. To those who are LDS, I think that the big question is whether or not you believe that Jesus is the eternal God; that He has always been and forever will be equal in His being as God the Father. Also, Is the redemption of Christ sufficient for our salvation? Is there anything that we must do to be a child of God with assurance of salvation? Thank you for the show, Dallas! It’s such a blessing to many!
Well said Bonnie. I still have a problem with the Book of Mormon, essentially overwriting the true Holy Bible. I also read the “God Makers”, in which the writer, an ex-Mormon, states that each Mormon will upon death be a “Jesus” for another earth. That to me is not scriptural. If any LDS can clarify that for me and show where it is in the Holy Bible I would appreciate it. I do believe that most of the LDS are wonderful God fearing people, but I do hope they believe that Jesus is the true and only God of the universe.
Thank you.
