  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Chosen, some questions.

Anyone know the release date of Season 2?

"Even with all the obstacles we’ve faced during the production of Season Two, our goal is still to release the first episode by Easter!"

Loved the Phillip character, and the scene tying Nathaniel's question when under the tree to his meeting with Jesus was much as I had envisioned it. #3 was getting pretty "real", as they say.

Agreed! Philip is such a likeable character. Can't wait to see more with him in it. I was in tears when Nathaniel finally met Jesus and all it took was him saying that he saw him under the fig tree to make him believe.

Episode 3 was just beautiful. Seeing mother Mary get all sad about feeling useful as a mother and then seeing how vulnerable Jesus was at the end of the episode and her running over to him. Such a moving show for sure!

Unfortunately it's going to be another 3-4 weeks before episode 4 :(

I've watched that scene several times now. It's very moving. I saw a long time ago that there had to be something more to "I saw you under the fig tree", something profound. I picture Nathaniel asking God where Messiah was and if He saw Israel's plight under Rome. This was just a little different but it was the same idea. I also love the way they break the tension with a little lightheartedness. It makes Jesus more real, and I believe it actually gives insight into what it must have been like to walk with Him while He was here.

I thought Ep. 3 was rather dark, with all the strife, but I have to view it again.

They really do such a great job writing stories around the scripture to give it a possible background to what was written. It's definitely very moving to see it in cinematic form.

Dark yes but very realistic
Agreed! But that's what made the episode so powerful. It's a reminder of how even as the son of God, he still lived a very human experience.

Also the director said that they filmed most of that episode in one shot! How amazing.

I'm not usually into the Bible movies/series, but this one is very well done so far. Of course not perfect. Who said it was supposed to be? It is a movie. A lot better than the myriad of discussions and interpretations on forums here. Those who say, 'I'll stick with Scripture," then why listen to a sermon or read a spiritual book? They are interpretations too.

All the episodes are on YouTube by the way...
