it is wise to be well versed in scripture and also well versed in the doctrines of men. use the bible as discernment for the religions. mormonism is easily detected and discerning persons able to act accordingly. there are many doctrines of men in christian traditions that lead one astray, study the bible and get discernment to stay on track. the chosen is entertainment, not scripture.
From the creator: “Jenkins further stressed that he alone is responsible for the content in “The Chosen” and is inspired by the Bible.
"I've said many times the content of the show has zero influence or input from any form of faith tradition or church. None,” he added.
Jenkins continued: "I'm a conservative Evangelical. I believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. I believe in the supremacy of God's Word. I believe in the Holy Trinity. I believe in God the Father, the Son of God, the Holy Spirit, and believe that Jesus is the Son of God and all of the core tenants of Scripture.”
My wife’s uncle’s brother made the series and wrote the books.
He’s a heretic. This series is not biblical and it is frankly insulting that anyone sees this as scripturally accurate. Are some things correct? Sure. Much is wrong and the theological foundation supporting the series is not of a Bible-believing, but of loose interpretations and make believe. It’s more dangerous than straight agnostic beliefs.
I am just bringing to light that this is the situation. I have some friends that are EX-morman, they brought this up. They also expressed concern that the mormans are investing heavily in homeschooling.
Mormans don't believe Jesus was and is God our saviour, even if they believe He walked on earth the same as Christians do. The "entertainment" of the chosen is fine, it's just that small tweak in ideology that can and does corrupt the scripture stripping the members of the Cult of Mormonism (LDS) OF their salvation.
No, you are wrong for following and believing in a false prophet.
I'm not here to condemn you, just speak the Truth. Jesus is the only way. Joseph Smith was not a martyr. Also everyone, male and female respectively, who entered the temple with you on the same day you did has the same secret name. Worldwide. Because it's made up. A religion built upon secrecy and lies isn't truth, even if they mix a little bit in.
Joseph Smith was murdered by a mob for his religious beliefs, thus he is a martyr. He sealed his testimony with his blood, joining the ranks of other prophets. Believe him or not, that's your choice, but he made the ultimate sacrifice.
It's good to bring this up. However, this doesn't necessarily mean the show, writers, or directors are influenced by Mormons.
The shows director only had three voices guided gik in the scripts: a Catholic father, an evangelical preacher, and a New (I forget if he's saved or still Jewish). No Mormon voices.
God allows His people to be blessed by foreigners. In fact I have a personal anecdote: when I was in Bible college there was a man from Pakistan who escaped to America. He was persecuted for becoming a Christian, and showed me the scars in his hands were the military drilled holes in his hands in an attempt to convert him back to being a Muslim. Thankfully he and the man who converted him were able to escape. But the person who paid for his travel? A Muslim man. I was shocked that God didn't use Christian organization or even a Christian person to bless this new convert and bring them to America. Nope, instead, got servant was paid for by a Muslim.
God will use whom He pleases. And perhaps by Mormons knowing the show is blessed by Mormons, this will encourage them to start watching this show, and challenging their beliefs and showing them the real Jesus.
Here's some verses that come to mind of God using people's not of His people's:
At the end of seventy years, the Lord will visit Tyre, and she will return to her wages and will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. Her merchandise and her wages will be holy to the Lord. It will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the Lord.
Isaiah 23:17-18 ESV
I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name. > For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I’m watching season 3 now. It makes the characters in the Bible come to life. I enjoy it but have started to hear rumblings of “not biblical” “dangerous” “misleading”
I feel capable of watching even if there is something imperfect in there.
Apparently its made by Mormans as silent partners..

Let's look at the evidence...
Hummmm.....

I believe Jesus was and is who he says he is in the Bible.
I am a "mormon".
I have rejected the false doctrines of mainstream Christianity, because it does not comport with the Bible.
Am I wrong to take the Bible as the word of God?

You act like I've never heard these things before

Fortunately they present it as very biblical. No Mormon doctrine as far as I could tell as an ex-Mormon.

The actors are very good.

Heresy. Solid Christians should mark and avoid.
LOVE The Chosen! Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus, gave an amazing speech at the recent pro life rally in DC!
A very close friend of mine told me about The Chosen, Its been very good.
I just finished episode three (season 1) last night. I’ve been loving it so far
