The Chosen series

[Bible Highlighter]

What did I get wrong regarding your view? Virtually everything is the road to destruction and 99.9% of Christians are on it.

Nowhere did I give any percentages. I am saying that only a few find eternal life because that is what Jesus basically says. How do you understand what He meant when He was referring to Few be there that find it (i.e., eternal life)? What is your understanding of the Few? Who are they? Is your interpretation supported by the context?

One should stay in locked in a room only reading scripture, praying and fasting with fear and trembling every minute they're awake to stay on the narrow path and get through the narrow gate.

Of course this is an exaggeration on your part involving my actual belief on what the Bible says.

I'm trying establish your understanding.

What else is safe to do that's not part of the broad road to destruction?

Its just a show........a drama. You dont have to keep watching it.

I believe the poster said they don't watch it, relying on youtu*e for their info

No. I am the one who brought up Matthew 7 as a refutation of your false thinking that I am wrong for not accepting the majority of Christian books, movies, denominations, etcetera. So the ball is back in your court if you have a different interpretation on Matthew 7. You need to explain what Matthew 7 means. If not, then your claims against my wrong belief is only existent in your own head and not the Word of God. That is why I brought up Matthew 7 to defend my belief. So now you need to explain how you believe otherwise involving Matthew 7. But you know what. You are going to chicken out because we both know the text would not support any odd ball interpretation that you are hoping for. It just doesn’t exist. Hence, why you want to shift the focus on my explaining Matthew 7 when I asked you to explain it first.

But I think trying to find evil where there probably is none, starts looking a bit rabid.

Yes, the jihadism of one particular sect is common to all religions.

There is one reviewer who actually posts clips or scenes from the show as an example. Just based on these scenes, the show is heretical.

 

[timothyu]

Billy Graham said he prayed to the Lord thinking of the Jesus actor from the Passion of the Christ. So there is an impression these films or shows will make upon men’s minds automatically (Which is wrong).

Consider that God sent His Son in order to put a face to Himself

No. It’s simply following the Bible or God’s Word because we are not to add or take way from His word. The show teaches another Jesus that is not portrayed in the Bible. This is obvious to any believer who has studied the New Testament. Those who would fall for the show are either biblically illiterate or they are liberal or ecumenical.

But that was back then. Nowhere in Scripture does it encourage us to make false idol images of Him.

 

[timothyu]

This sequence is exceptionally disturbing to any Christian who actually knows the Bible.

Apparently, oversight of the series by a Catholic, an Evangelical and a Jew are not enough

I know that applies to the Book of Revelation

The actor who plays Jesus on the Chosen is not how Jesus actually looked. He is just an actor and nobody can fill the role of our Savior. We don’t know what He looked like. To put an imaginary face is to create a deception or a lie for men to worship. Jesus said we are to worship in spirit and in truth. But you cannot do that if you claim that this actor guy is Jesus and you must pretend it is Jesus in order to get involved in the show as if it was real while you watch it.

 

[timothyu]

That would include within our own minds

Happened none the less, contrary to what you said

Actually, the fact that a Catholic and Jew are on the project shows that you shouldn’t watch it. Jews ended up rejecting their Messiah and they are not saved. So they obviously have spiritual discernment issues. Catholics are into adding things to the Bible like bowing down to statues, and praying to dead saints when the Bible condemns necromancy. So there again is the lack of spiritual discernment. Again, I already pointed out how the show violates Scripture but you don’t seem to care what the Word of God (The Bible) actually says.

 

[timothyu]

The actor who plays Jesus on the Chosen is not how Jesus actually looked.

And Jesus upon His return will not be as He actually looked, having been transformed. Your point? Is not representation of an ideal more important, the message rather than the messenger, especially when the messenger is the message? (worship in spirit and in truth)

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Happened non the less, contrary to what you said

Again, I am not against the idea that Jesus showed Himself as a person back in the day. But that happened back at that time only and nowhere does Jesus or His followers teach we are to make drawings or images of Him. Nor are we to create plays or re-enactments on Him regardless of whether or not it looked like Him or not. This is what you fail to understand.

Jesus talks about jots and tittles. So He cares about the details of His Word. We are warned in Revelation not to add or take away from His words without serious consequences. This does not sound like God was just interested in some general message or messages. Once you regulate the Bible to being twisted into some fiction, then there is no point to even have a Bible. But faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

You have made your own judgement based upon your own opinion.

So much for Christmas and the Passion plays and the like.
