I saw It. The chosen is awesome. Love the series.
Don't let people like this prevent you from watching it
The Chosen is fantastic, but only God is Awesome. I find this series to be very well done and insightful. There are so many nuances that they bring out that I never picked up from the scripture. Most notably for me, just what a scandal it would be to most of the disciples when Jesus called Matthew the tax collector, and also how there could have been a great deal of resentment toward him because of his past. Unforgiveness and resentment is an ongoing theme through the first 3 seasons. Another insight is how much confusion there could have been toward the activities of Christ. The people were expecting a military ruler, but Jesus was preparing for a sacrifice.
Above all, we must study the Scriptures and use discernment with something like The Chosen. The same thing applies when we read a bible commentary. Any presentation of man will have problems, so we must know the Word for ourselves, to rightly divide the Word of Truth.
We could debate words forever. God is above even the word awesome if we wanna get technical.. yes I did not mean to value the show over God. Just pointing to the fact that it's well done. :)
By awesome I mean if you are receptive to the holy spirit you can feel his presence in and throughout the show.
Yes I agree I absolutely love the points you brought up about chosen.
Yes again I in no way was imply one should simply watch the chosen. Just pointing out that it helps add layers to thing that if you are receptive to the holy spirit you will feel the presence of Jesus all throughout..
We serve a living God and he was very much alive and working in the hearts of those the have created this show. It's undeniable unless you go in with the mindset that you refuse to see it.
Personally I experience Jesus presence in my day to day life as well. It's awesome how alive and with us he truly is
Maybe you should reconsider. do you find it awesome because you were entertained? Someone like Whoopie will not praise something if it is indeed promoting Jesus and Christianity.
This is a very narrow view. It most definitely promotes Jesus.
Maybe you should reconsider letting someone dictate how you judge thing
Your premise and reasoning are ridiculous.
Whoopie likes food. Maybe you shouldn’t eat anymore.
Whoopie wears clothing. Maybe you shouldn’t wear any.
Whoopie likes girls. Maybe you shouldn’t have any girlfriends.
Whoopie likes movies. Maybe you shouldn’t watch any movies.
The Chosen is an amazing series.
And you have an agenda.
Kek 😂😂
👍👍
Well said fren
Maybe she’s promoting it because it’s widely liked by Christians. Most conservatives don’t like her so it’s like reverse psychology. If Whoopi likes it then “hell no I’m not watching”. I watched it and I believe it will reach people that didn’t grow knowing the Bible and Jesus. I did grow up in church but I learn better visually. I personally got a lot out of it and it influenced me to read the Bible.
This is a wonderful series, I don't care who else like something that I like, it is Jesus we are talking about ! And the show is done so well . HE is available to all, it has nothing to do with personalities or celebrities. I would not say, "Jimmy Carter recommends the Bible, so that tells me all I need to know about that book!" The series humanizes the Gospel for many, and it could lead many to it.
“Whether for false motive or true, Christ is preached, and for this I rejoice .” Apostle Paul. Letter to Philippians. I’m not a fan of the series myself ( wanders from scripture a bit here and there) but if it brings anyone to the biblical Christ. I am glad.
The Chosen’ Director Says Jesus Transfiguration Not Important: ‘What Purpose Would it Serve our Story?’

Why don't you actually watch it rather then search others opinions and let them sway you.
You are really coming off as a division shill with this one.
Sharing truth shouldn't be divisive.
I can't help someone if they are triggered over opinions of a show.
Projection.
I just don't understand your point. Whoopy says she likes it so that means "we" can't? Maybe that is exactly their goal......
You are being manipulative.
Who’s Whoopi Goldberg?
And who cares what her opinions are?
An annoying insufferable waste
I think it's one of those air bags that you put on someones chair before they sit down...
You definitely got the "air bag" part right.
Some of those jews love to watch jesus die over and over. 🙃
Some of my family wants to go see the season four premiere which is in theaters for a few days. I’ve seen seasons one and two and enjoyed it. Strange coming from Whoopi though for real.
Whippies real me is caren...
For real...can’t make this shit up...

It's actually a freaking incredible series. I am spiritual, not religious and I love it.
It traces the life and times of Jesus and his disciples. The actors and actresses are phenomenal.
…and the View has thankfully been canceled. I share your concern (with all ‘man’s’ interpretations of things Biblical. But could this be a Mark 9:39 effect? Perhaps even a sloppy interpretation, or artistic license will still draw people to Christ. The underlying Love story of Christ still comes through IMO. that said, I would not want to play the part of Jesus.
So the holy spirit cant influence us and lead us to act in ways that God wills?
Is God just the Bible to you? Or is he a livnng God that walks with his people
FYI: "The View" was not cancelled.

Damn. I was so happy to read that
Maybe this is a ploy so people won't see it because she promoted it.
Reverse psychology.
We saw this is available on Netflix but we're so jaded and afraid to click it fearing they will slip in lots of propaganda..cos they're so damn sneaky like that, and we have no taste for the millions of films available freely on stream anymore.
I think it's still better to just read The Bible to know the story and watch The Passion by Mel Gibson or some really old Bible movies made in the 70s or earlier.
You can watch it on BYU and Angel Studios for free.
There’s no propaganda. It’s one of the best biblical series I’ve seen. I’m not comparing it to The Passion of Christ because it’s just different. The Chosen is getting to know Jesus as a person and a small glimpse of his life on earth with his desciples. I can’t watch biblical shows from the 70s it’s so fake. I believe the 70s was a great era but not every thing was better. The playing of dramatic music turns me off also. We all know what we like. I believe The Chosen can reach people that would not be interested in the Bible and knowing God.
