  • 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.

It never occurred to me till today. I sort of binge watched it. Remember the scene where Jesus was rehearsing the Sermon in the Mount and seemed nervous. The scene seems a little weird now

I watched the Chosen but stopped because the show has things that are not in the Bible, and then I get them mixed up with the things that are in the Bible, which is dangerous. Bible alone is sufficient.
I find this logic to be dangerous because if you had lived during The Lord's mortal life and had an opportunity to meet Him - you would have rejected Him if you decided to remain consistent in this belief.

It is a Mormon funded show. That's all I have to say.
I do not believe this is true.

I believe the only direct connection the LDS Church has with the show is that they used the Jerusalem set owned by the LDS Church to shoot some scenes.

It is the first production to be filmed at that set that was not affiliated with the LDS Church.

By the way - we prefer to be called Latter-day Saints - or LDS for short.

I believe that the connection is that certain scenes were shot in a set owned by the LDS Church.

Which lines from the Book of Mormon do you believe this is resembling? Is it this one?

"Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ; for, for this end hath the law of Moses been given; and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him." (2 Nephi 11:4)

I don't have any belief regarding it. I just heard the complaint.
It's "Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life." 3 Nephi 15:9

Well, I detect a Mormon bias here, so no comment. God bless though.

Both the LDS Church and those making the show claim that there is no connection outside of what I shared.

That is independent of me and my bias. We all have biases. That does not mean that people cannot share facts free of bias.

And I consider it rude to say "Mormon" again immediately after I shared that we prefer to be called Latter-day Saint or LDS.

Ok, I will use LDS from now on in conversations with you. But yes, I prefer seeing Jesus in the pages of a Bible, and not on a TV screen, unless Jesus returns in the end times in my lifespan, and the BBC News caught Him on video. Then, I would be glued to the screen.

I also prefer to feast on His Word - although I have seen some pleasing depictions of Him from time to time.

I have yet to watch any of the Chosen because I assume that wokeness would invade it.

It would be torturous to watch because I'd be wondering the whole time, "Ok. Which one are they going to make gay?"

I am afraid that wokeness would get into it also. Hollywoke is a real thing sadly in 2024. So far, from what others have said on the internet, the show is not woke, yet. The Chosen plans more seasons though, as a new season (S5) is expected to release in 2025. Looking at the pattern of TV, shows have gotten progressively more woke over the past 5 years, especially over the past two years it seems. Looks like 2025 will be even more woke.

Edit: An LGTV pride flag was apparently on set

I believe that God allows us our crutches for a time until He requires us to rely fully on Him.

Perhaps those who only consume information via television will eventually come to a knowledge of the truth - first through this show then eventually relying more and more on Him - up until they are able to walk with Him freely.

That is true. God might use an imperfect show to bring people to a perfect Bible.

However, look at this thing. See the rainbow? That's not Noah's rainbow, it is a pride flag.

What is "Mormon propaganda"?
Something pushing their take on the Bible and their other Bible. I remember another scene where Mary Mag’s demon was given a specific name which was connected with some alternate interpretation of the Adam and Eve story from Jewish myth involving that demon. Wasn’t mainstream Christianity. I can’t point to the episode but maybe someone else remembers?

My mother had called to inform me about some Mormon Tv Cable Channel airing it. So the connection may be deeper. Sorry I didn’t read the whole thread and
Wasn’t aware you are LDS . No offense intended. You usually don’t encounter LDS in main forum since I think it’s against the rules.

Then you would mean "Mormon interpretation" - not propaganda. And they only believe in the one Bible.

And we prefer to be called Latter-day Saints or LDS for short.
The LDS Church isn't into demons or Jewish myths that I know of.

Both the makers of the show and the LDS Church have claimed that there is no affiliation.

Have you ever taken the opportunity to read the Book of Mormon?
