I was an atheist when I began watching this show with my wife. She thought it looked interesting. After episode 2 I thought "Didn't Mathew write a book?" And because I enjoyed Mathew's character I began reading that gospel. Months later I now consider myself a devout Christian who reads the Bible every day.
Acts would make a great series. Paul's conversion, the debates about following Jewish law, the shipwreck, even the guy who fell asleep and fell out of the window when Paul was preaching. (When I've listened to pastors who are a bit long-winded, I always think of that guy :)
That would be wonderful. Even the chosen series inspiring other evangelical writers/producers to create a series on the acts of the apostles would be welcomed, refreshing, & inspiring. Hollywood shouldn't corner the market on "video storytelling." We need more films/series to motivate people to investigate the Bible for themselves. In a world where media is available to so many, why not utilize that venue for reaching lost souls.
I really love the scene with Nicodemus, where Jesus tells him about John 3:16. When Jesus explains the Spirit to him, and he realizes he is in the presence of the Lord........
This is one of my favorite scenes. I have watched it numerous times! It moves me every single time! I watch it along with the scene where Jesus calls Matthew!
You need to listen carefully to what Dallas has the character playing Jesus say to Nicodemus when he falls down at his feet. He says; “You don’t have to do that. What are you doing?” I believe that this is completely heretical. In the Bible Jesus never refused worship. Remember Thomas saying when he saw Jesus after He had risen from the dead, My Lord and my God. John chapter 20:28. My goodness, Jesus was crucified because the Jewish leaders said that He made Himself equal with God! If Dallas was so concerned about representing Jesus properly he would not had written those words into the script!
« Avoid religious tradition » and yet celebrating Christmas full blast when Yeshua was born on Sukkot and that 25th of December is the feast of Tamouz, Baal … Honestly I like the show but I feel like they miss the goal when they try so hard to show the true Hebraic messiah and then practice the lawless Jesus on the set with all the « worshippers » of the Sun-day. This makes the whole contradiction fit in peoples mind. They still think that worshipping in the way the pagans do is fine with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Yeshoua would come and scatter that crowd and indeed do TROUBLE.
@@thehourislate777 there is NO actual date of when Yeshua was born. Kind of have a feeling he doesn't want people to know his birthday. We technically should be celebrating his birth and death everyday. Yeshua is all love. He knows the heart. If you are celebrating the day as Yeshua's birthday than great. Since there is no way anyone knows let them have a day. God is not going to send you to hell for a tree in the house. If a relationship with Yeshua is there, than you would know it's all about the heart. Those who hate their brothers and sisters in Massiah have not seen or know the father. The apostle Paul said in Philippians chapter 1. "15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 [c]The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice."
I don’t care what religion people who work on the chosen because the story of the people around Jesus and his teachings rings true and sends me to the scriptures to see what’s true. Any thing that gives me the desire to study Christ is beautiful. 💕
Dallas, so well said!! Thank you for creating something that UNIFIES Christians instead of dividing them!! We have literally spent centuries arguing about the metaphorical branches and twigs of the gospel instead of uniting ourselves around the trunk - Christ, his teachings, his miracles, his love, and his great sacrifice. Thank you for making the scriptures come alive without distracting from scripture! Love it! Your work is helping to accomplish what the resurrected Christ commanded: “Go ye therefore and teach all nations…teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” Thank you!
Dallas we are 58 years old and staunch Catholics. We perfectly fine with the good job you've done. We watched in tears every episode. Thank you so much
I am a non denominational Christian and I too am in tears every episode. The beauty of our Savior, His actions, and His life shines through this show. Much love and blessings upon you, and your family my brother.
@@christophereppler7126 Yes me too, I also had a dream when I was going through some hard times, i couldnt reach the Lord I was truly going through struggle but the a friend of mine invited me to a church and I didnt want to go but something in me wasn't right. Then I went and the preacher spoke and it was as if he was talking to me and I went home watch the movie Passion for Christ and I got ln my knees and prayed. 3 weeks after that I had a vision of a man in pure light long hair and white pigment and I felt confortable and peace and he said it is over, you are welcomed. I then changed since then and waiting on the rapture for him to come and take us out of this world because we dont belong here. I also was thd first volunteers for the vaccine, I really wanted to help people by pointing my life in line and thank God everything went well. Hope you the best if you reply.
As a Catholic you should be ashamed of yourself. You should not be watching this perverse version of the scripture created by a follower of a Protestant sect. The Catholic Church is the absolute and the only answer. Turn to the church for the truth. Don’t be tempted by the perverted bastardization of our Scripture .
The Chosen has helped me open my Bible even more just to know the actual stories better! I enjoy this series and am so grateful for it! It's so much better than all of the filth on television today!!
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” We all deserve to go to hell because we have sinned. But God loved us and gave us His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place to pay the punishment of all of our sins for us when he died on the cross. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and yet God the Son also. God the Father (God)has raised Jesus his son from the dead. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!!!! Repent of your sins, and believe in who Jesus is and what He did for you and that God the Father has raised Him from the dead and you WILL BE SAVED FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE(hell). Sinner’s prayer Lord, I know I’m a sinner, I believe that you died on the cross in my place of burning in hell forever so I wouldn’t have to go to hell. I accept your sacrifice for me. Please save me from the lake of fire and forgive my sins. Thank you for the gift of eternal life! Amen. Now turn from your wicked ways towards Jesus Christ and surrender your life to Him! If you have any questions please ask me! God bless you!😊♥️♥️♥️
I understand Melissa what you are saying. I was brought up Pentecostal, and moved to a more non denominational and relationship faith in Christ. Not a religion or doctrine in religion
Basically I'm the same. I was raised Catholic, started going to a Baptist church in my 20s, and now go to non-denominational church that leans more towards Pentecostal. 🤷🏻♀️ I have nothing but love for my Baptist and Catholic brothers and sisters, though. (Not implying you were saying you don't have love, by the way.) Basically, I still feel comfortable in mass or in a Baptist service. Could be I'm just weird. 🤷🏻♀️😉😂
I worked full time for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a Director of Photography and a Director/Writer. The Chosen was the first outside project that was allowed to use the Jerusalem set. I directed films there and was ecstatic when The Chosen was cleared to use the set. I’ve been a member of the LDS Church my whole life but grew up around Evangelical Christians. I truly believe The Chosen is directed by the hand of God and the Savior himself. I absolutely love that it’s being created by an evangelical. And I truly believe this project is healing and uniting believers of all backgrounds. Get used to different.
I love this! I was so excited when I saw that The Chosen was filming at the Goshen set. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I love The Chosen and the diversity of it’s cast and crew/creators/distributors. What a Christ-like endeavor ❤️ My heart has been touched over and over again by this beautiful show. Thanks Brother Sines for all of your work on Church productions.
Thak you for that insight, as a convert, I have heard a lot of misinformation about the Church, it seems there is a misunderstanding about our belief in Christ. Our song, I Believe in Christ, says it all.
The issues is that the members of Christ cannot be united with “believers” outside of Christ. The LDS beliefs aren’t simply different. The works-based salvation and the Christ of the LDS church NOT being the eternal God who created all things means there is an infinite gulf between you and the body of Christ. This is not an attempt by me to be mean to anyone, it would be truly unloving not to warn you and others on CZcams that Mormons are not Christians and do not have eternal life.
I wanted to share this show with my doctor who is catholic. He showed me that he watches it too 😄 and so we chatted a little about it. It doesn’t matter if we are two different religions! We both believe in Christ and love that show! Brings us all together!
@@Dipp182 the instruction of baptism is a topic that can be clarified in Matthew 28:19. But my point is….Catholics ARE Christians. And they were there 500 years before the breakout of other denominations. If you believe that Jesus is God, and he is a part of the Trinity, and he was raised from the dead and will come again, you are a follower of Christ, a Christian. No need to seclude people for your benefit. Selah.
“As long as I am doing the right thing before God, I don’t mind being criticized. The only one I’m seeking approval from is God.” This is my life and thanks to the chosen I can keep fighting this good fight of faith.
@@daydreamdirty as long as what your husband is telling you is lining up with what God wants, you don’t have a problem. And if he tells you something that goes against God, then you must choose God first.
@@RepentfollowJesus I'm pretty sure she means that it edified her. Encouraged her. Helped her. Instead of assuming the worst in someone's comment try and find the best possible meaning.
Except Jesus never tells them in the show to repent of their sins. Dallas... is misguiding millions and it's so sad to see this. I'm not saying it is impossible but the facts are what they are. When you don't tell people that they need to repent of their sins and ask Jesus into their heart! Then you aren't going to lead anyone to God's Son!
I am a Seventh-day Adventist Christian from the Dominican Republic. I love The Chosen. So do my wife and my children. This show has increased our love for Jesus Christ and the Bible. I don’t need the producers or the actors to have the same doctrinal perspectives I have for me to be blessed with this show. Thank you, Brother Dallas and team for your wonderful work. May the Holy Spirit continue to use The Chosen to bless and guide many more people around the world.
I love a lot of the SDA teachings, there's a CZcams channel called Broken Vessels, I think out of Australia. I like learning from them. You are good people:)
That’s awesome! I’m not a 7th day Adventist, but I know many awesome people I love and respect from your faith. I’ve had the same experiences in my family as well.
I am a full blown Christian and there is no doubt in me that God choose you for this highly anointed and God-guided project. This series is absolutely amazing.
I have loved watching The Chosen! Thank you for staying true to the Bible account. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I am excited to support this cause, the cause of knowing and following Jesus!
As an Evangelical Pastor and “CZcamsr,” I have had to learn a really hard lesson, and that is… some professing “Christians” have the “gift” of discouragement. No matter what you do, someone will have a problem with it, and have no problem telling you, in the harshest of words, the “evil” you are guilty of. My advice to Pastors and for anyone working and living for the Lord is, you can’t please everyone, and that’s okay. Just be faithful to the One.
Pastor Nelson! Great to see you here. I have been very blessed by your content in my nearly 6 years of walking with the Lord. You are so right in what you are saying. For years, I have felt grieved by the attitudes and foolishness of some Christians who are often the most passionate about the word of God. There seems to be this tendency (particularly amongst conservative evangelicals) to exude a harsh and judgmental demeanor when it comes to areas where Christians disagree. I have been learning to focus only on what God says and thinks lately in my life. Its SUCH a relief when you live to please only ONE: The Lord Jesus. So grateful that He loves us unconditionally and that His grace is sufficient for us. Praying for you as you continue to reach many for Christ and edify His Church through your ministry. Blessings 🙏
I love what Paul said... if I were striving to please men I would not be able to please God. Peter made this same point over and over when being slammed by the pharisees and teachers of the law. You simply cannot be a people pleaser and be a faithful follower of Jesus at the same time.
I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love your show. It helps me put myself in Christs time. It makes him come alive so much more for me. It’s also helping me see how all Faiths that worship Jesus Christ have a lot in common. When Jesus Christ returns to earth the Kingdom of God will be established on the earth. I believe your show helps me see that people of all faiths must work together. Thank you for all your doing! I love Jesus Christ! Hence I love the show the Chosen ❤️❤️
I'm a member as well, and I held off for a year in watching this, because I felt that I didn't want "another interpretation" that I had already come to have in my heart for Jesus. My wife cajoled, pleaded... okay, she nagged just a bit. So when I was busted watching it at 2AM, falling asleep and not getting it, she said, just watch the last 5 minutes. Let's just say I was reaching for the kleenex! And ranting that others should watch it. The quality is great! It doesn't take away or add to the scriptures, and indeed, brings in (to me) MORE symbolism, meaning and applicability of the scriptures to our lives. Well done Dallas! And I appreciate your dedication to adhering to the stories in the bible, and also bringing in others with expertise in culture and traditions as well so as to weave a plausible story.
What I love about The Chosen is, the fact that im going back to scripture and read and dig into the word even more, you read and realistically see the characters unfold. The Bible has never been more "relatable". Doctrines and tradition and mindset and ideas might keep people divided, however Jesus and loving Him is the focus! Thank you for this is amazing work!👏👏👏
flashes a masonic hand sign to let you know who he is. Tell us that in Mormon doctrines and covenants that their son of god is the BROTHER of the Devil. the Bible does not say Jesus and Satan are brothers.
I am a newly church attendee and have been baptized. The show, The Chosen has helped me understand the Bible. God has blessed these people the power of developing this show. I love it.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was moved to tears, EVERY, TIME I watched The Chosen. I love this show because it portrays Christ more closely to the way I see him and his disciples than any other presentation I have seen. Keep up the good work Dallas.
@@followerofthelordjesuschri1735 STOP the hypocrisy. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints don't believe they are God's. Being a Mason doesn't mean that you don't believe in the Lord Jesus Christ or acknowledge him as their Savior. Im sorry that you believe the way you do, but let the Lord judge a man by what's in his heart, and not what faith they choose to follow. Otherwise I think it is you who will be judged.
I wish people could just fully appreciate and concentrate on all the hard work and effort put into this show. Its a gift, this work, a gift for us all.
As a new Christian this show really helped me back in May connect to Jesus in a way that enhanced my want to get to know Jesus more through the word! I was baptised in August and I for one am so thankful for The Chosen. It's helped me soooooo much 🙏
@Alvin Ochola Jesus created one Church. Not Churches. So only one Church can be the Church created by Jesus. Research who founded the different denominations of Churches. You will find that your are mostly correct. Out of the 35,000+ denominations there was one Church created by the God Man, all the others were created by a man.
@@vffemt83 the church is every person who has been born again. The church is the body of Christ. However I do believe there is a church that never disappeared. It wasn't established by Constantine either in around 300AD. There is a church that has always been tho underground many times when it was persecuted by Catholics and Protestants alike. God didn't lose His church nor did it need to be reestablished in the 1800's. There is a rich history of the true believers that always held to scripture as it's finally authority.
@@billycroom9208 With the death of Christ’s apostles and other leaders of the church, the priesthood, which was the authority to act in God’s name in order to perform ordinances (examples: blessing and baptizing others), was lost from the earth and needed to be restored. The priesthood was indeed restored. Joseph Smith was indeed a prophet of God. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are God’s word on the earth today.
WHY then being Catholic (comes from the word CATHARTIC!) don't you hold your Pope and the Vatican responsible for all the child trafficking going on there? They are PEDOS!!! Pull your head out of your...BUTT! For the love of our children RESEARCH!!!!!
I don’t need an explanation . The Chosen is a blessing and Dallas Jenkins is spreading God’s word to the world. Yes, Dallas is spreading the good news that God loves us, in spite of our foibles. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should have everlasting life”. Dallas, you don’t owe anyone any explanations. God bless you, Dallas Jenkins. And Merry Christmas.🎁🎄😁🌼✌️😇🎚🎄🎁
I was saved when 22. My path has gone in and out with Jesus for years. Now at age 55, my desire to "up" my relationship with Jesus was sparked in great part by this show, which I believe was prayer answered. I'm reading the Bible now and participating in daily devotionals with friends. I'm speaking with God and spending more time in prayer throughout the day. Thank you for creating this series and for assisting in bringing my faith to life ❤ my focus 🙏 much more on God and His will in my life.
Perfect statement of faith and then some! Anyone who listens to this will know "where The Chosen is coming from"! It's all here in one neat little package. It's good to put this out there every so often as we are growing so much, even globally! Blessings and prayers always! Let's reach those billion!
I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The name Mormon is not actually what we are. That being said ……. Thank you thank you so much for this amazing show! I am grateful for the people need to know movement.
I was a Mormon when a teenager and if I had continued to believe Mormon doctrine and teaching and died in my sins I would have been lost forever! The Jesus of the scriptures and the Jesus of Mormonism are 2 different Jesus's. The devil is a LIAR and he uses false religion's like Mormonism to entrap people!
@@karenboyd9752 im sorry to hear that is what you were taught. Unfortunately Grace is not taught well in our church but I can assure you we believe in the same Christ and that all are saved by Grace not by works, just as Jesus taught.
It’s basically what Jesus did in gathering His disciples, fisherman, a publican, a zealot, and more. He wants all of us to come to Him, and this show does a great job of showcasing that.
I was initially very hesitant about watching The Chosen, but having now watched the first two seasons, I've come to love the way the show aspires to adhere to the gospel narratives and use its creative licence in a way that doesn't compromise the Biblical content.
"As long as I am doing the right thing before God, I don’t mind being criticized. The only one I’m seeking approval from is God.” My admiration for this show just went up 10,000 percent. So thankful the emphasis is on the story not faith traditions, I love this show even more than Dreamworks Prince of Egypt!
And this video is exactly why I love this show! It's real, honest, humble, and committed to bringing the gospels to life so that our hearts burn with desire for God's Word and a fresh awakening to His work in history. Keep up the great work Dallas, your project is turning people of all backgrounds to Christ!!
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and we LOVE you and what you’re doing! Your effort, study and prayer to know the right way is inspiring. Thank you for your excellent example.
You aren’t concerned that the Bible warns us of “doctrines of demons?” No judgement here I just only believe the Bible. Satan is behind all “organized religion” no matter what form it’s in. God doesn’t want our religion. He wants a pure relationship with us. Religion is dead. Jesus is the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. Be blessed.
I have noticed that every Mormon commenting on this video goes to great lengths to say the very long-winded, "I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." Whew! What a mouthful! Why not just say the much simpler, "I'm a Mormon." Who do you really think you're fooling? You do know that people can research this stuff at the tap of a finger now, right? Mormonism and the LDS Church are interchangeable terms. To say otherwise demonstrates either complete ignorance of the history of the Mormon religion or rank deception. Those terms (i.e., "Mormon" or "LDS" or "Mormonism" or "Latter-Day Saints," etc.) all represent the exact same Christ-denying religion/cult founded by the mountebank Joseph Smith. If you are a Mormon (or, if you prefer, "a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" . . . whew!), then I urge you to repent and place your trust exclusively in the *true Christ* of Scripture and history. His *finished* work of redemption (i.e., His perfect life and fulfillment of ALL of God's laws; His substitutionary, propitiatory death on the Cross; and His bodily resurrection) constitute the *only* way anyone can be reconciled to God. The Mormons'/LDS's false gospel of works leads only to eternal separation from God. I urge you to study the Bible (not the one corrupted by Joseph Smith, but a legitimate Bible, such as the NASB or the NKJV or the ESV) and compare and contrast what it teaches versus the doctrines taught by Mormon presidents/prophets, Doctrine and Covenants, the Book of Mormon, and The Pearl of Great Price. Then follow the truth where it leads.
Prayers for EVERYONE involved in the Production of The Chosen. A seed was planted in me while on retreat in September. While channel surfing Sunday night came upon a showing of the Shepherd. Have been watching Season one all week. Went to the Christmas Movie. My faith has been recharged! I am so very grateful!
“By their fruits you shall know them “ You only have to see the abundant fruit that has been produced , to more than appreciate this awesome series!!! Can’t wait for season 3 !!!👏👏👏 If you haven’t yet-“COME AND SEE “
@@BetterIdeas. You need to please calm down and think about what you are doing by judging others please... Pagan...Satanic...Wow..... And YOU know this ----- how?????? Perhaps change your avatar to "Not Even Amazing Grace".....
Jesus is pleased any time people are led to Him! And I love that the Chosen is doing that. It’s well done and I applaud all your efforts! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, our family has thoroughly enjoyed The Chosen!! I think it’s wonderful that there are so many different faiths involved. Keep up the inspired work!
To melanie: i too am lds and i agree completely with your comments. I get so much understanding to add to my beliefs and am thankful for this series. May Heavenly Father bless you and your family!!
I'm a Catholic who lived in Rome for three years studying Theology. I enjoyed the art of the City, especially Christian art like Caravaggio, Michelangelo, etc...I think that "The Chosen" is the new art that we need to approach Jesus in our 21 Century, and this show is gonna pass to the story just like that great artist did because is a very good way to represent life and the message of Christ. You are making a great job, God bless you !
I am a Catholic and spent a lot of time in Rome also. I remember walking through a church, it was not a great elegant church, and then coming across the Contarelli Chapel where the Caravaggio calling of Matthew was! Amazing it was tucked away in a little corner! Agree, the Chosen and the Passion is the revival of Christian art of the 21st century!!
One of the miracles of this SHOW... is the FACT that so many folks from different denominations and walks of life have come together to make this SHOW, and all in the audience of the same make up are watching it. I'm a Catholic and adult and can tell the difference between scripture and script... I can also see how each has come together to give us a story that inspires us in our Christian faith. If others can't get this... turn the channel... problem solved. Thank you Dallas and Chosen actors and crew❣
Mormons teach a similar but different doctrine called the God Head. Christians don't believe in modern day prophets. Mormons teach that their president of the Church is a prophet. Christians teach that Mary the mother of Jesus was a virgin her whole life. Mormons have no such doctrine. Christians believe that the Eucharist is the literal body and blood of Jesus. Mormons think that it just represents his body and blood. Mormons believe that you become an angel when you die. Christians don't. Mormons believe in three levels of Heaven. Christians teach there's just one. Christians believe that God is the creator of the universe. Mormons believe that God used to be a human, and was elevated to godhood after he died. Mormons believe that men can become gods after they die. This is called exaltation. Christians view this as a heresy. Mormons believe that God has a physical body that you could touch just like a human. Christians believe that God is a spirit. Mormons believe that there are other gods, but they don't worship them. Christians believe in one god. Mormons reject Song of Solomon as divinely inspired scripture, but they still keep it in the Bible. Christians believe all the books of the Old Testament are divinely inspired. Christians believe the Deuterocanonical Books are divinely scripture. (Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom, Sirach, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees) Mormons don't. Especially Christians Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox are precise and consistent if DALLAS gets his info from this Denominations.
@@adspie I dont follow mormonism so your long list doesn't mean anything to me... BUT, I can still sit next to a Mormon and watch the show... Quite honestly, you can delete it and put it somewhere someone would care about all that you wrote. It just doesn't mean a thing to me, I simply don't care what they do. I support the show and this comment was for the show.
As a member of the LDS faith, some of your statements about our beliefs are actually incorrect. It may help you to ask a member so that the information you share is 100% accurate.
Dallas and staff, yall are doing an excellent job. I've watched both seasons at least 5x each. My kids love it and it's gotten them interested in scripture as a 13, 11 and 8 year old! You are bringing people to Christ! Keep up the incredible work! 👏
That is wonderful that your children want to learn. We need the Word to be continued and not lost. I believe that the world is currently in a spiritual battle for the survival of Good against Evil. Evil is so rampant today, and some people do not even recognize it.
As embarrassing as it is to admit, I didn’t completely understand Scripture. While I know the show isn’t verbatim, it has given me an overall understanding so now, when I pick my Bible up and began to read, I understand it more. Thank you. This show made a difference in my life.
Well when you do completely understand please leave a hint for the rest of us. :) The day we think we completely understand is the day we stop learning.
As a catholic I love your show and the fact that it causes many to dive into scripture within the context of their faith. Mark: 9,40 JESUS, “ ANYONE who is not against us is for us”🕯👍🏼🕯
@@williamgullett5911 I'm catholic and idk what he means, but WE DO NOT believe in changing ANYTHING in the scripture!!! That's complete blasfemy. If I spelled it right...
Dallas you and your team did a great service to the world for creating The Chosen. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Chosen has touched my heart and brought the Holy Spirit to my soul. Please ignore the naysayers. If people would live the way Jesus is portrayed in the Chosen they wouldn't be pointing fingers at you or the cast for not being a member of their faith. We all need to come together as one to the Lord regardless of what denomination we may be. Satan wants to destroy God's work here on earth, he doesn't care about denomination.
Dallas ,you are an evangelist for the world leading, so many to Jesus ,through this magnificent series! ⭐️🙏✝️😇⭐️🙏✝️🛐💒🔔⛪️ Thank you &all your team &God bless you &your beautiful family ALWAYS 💖⭐️🙏☦️✝️😇⭐️🙏💙🥰
I’m Catholic and love everything you are doing. I believe The Chosen is uniting all Christian’s and is also bringing nonbelievers to the Truth. Keep doing what you’re doing, Dallas. May God continue to bless you, your family, and everyone involved in the series!
The Chosen has increased my love for Jesus as it shows the love and intimacy he has for humanity as the son of the living God. I believe it can make those who watch it better children of God and less materialistic.
God bless you Dallas for your diligence in putting this show into a world that needs it so much! My prayers are with you and everyone who is a part of this amazing endeavor!💜
At the end of the day! Every time I watch this show! Im literally moved 🔥 by the Presence of the Holy Spirit! I literally feel that the Lord is sitting next to me when I watch this show!! I don’t want to end! I pray in the name of Jesus that this show will finish all of the 7 season and continue to make new shows ! I want to be a part of this shows growth!! I will contribute! God bless you Dallas!!
I have tried to tell everyone about this show. Some have listened and actually came to me to say Thanks because it had the same effect. It does draw us closer to God’s word. Makes us excited to read again, and most importantly has brought some reality and humanity to people on a personal level. Seeing Jesus and the Disciples as approachable has led me to become closer to my Jesus. It’s phenomenal
Just a word of encouragement.....let's not sit or go about our day as if we're waiting for some song series etc. to draw us closer or get excited to read God's Word........let's place the pressure on ourselves a bit more and be good students - study God's Word when we don't feel like it, pray when we don't feel like it........it requires effort on our part.....iron sharpens iron and is not always criticism we are to stir it Up in one another when we fell jaded to God's Word pray and ask the Father for a mindset to go pick up our cross and follow Him by doing the things we don't feel like doing esp when it comes to studying His Word. Be blessed
@@alyssanacd I am in the word everyday and have my own individual relationship with the Lord. It’s very exciting to see people who are otherwise lukewarm to become on fire by this series. Also, just like learning, we all have different styles of learning. Some are tactile and some are repetitive some can learn simply by listening. A visual connection that normalizes the ‘saints’ helps some to become more Interested because they feel they can relate. I’m praying that you see that not only is it great to be disciplined like the scholars but many more people may be coming to their own in seeing this. If it creates more disciples then it is good in God’s eyes. He uses many different people to do his will, that may have otherwise be sidelined. Be blessed
@@tracipanzica5930 I can appreciate the different styles of learning and how well you described each. My point is if you're going to depict Bible stories as a 'Believer' it's best and safe to be accurate. There are accurate accounts of Bible story films for visual learners. It's good to get excited about God's Word and reading it but if something external only gets us excited about it wow....ask for the desire first to study it, get yourself a good study Bible I read the John MacArthur Study Bible with loads of info, find another believer could be your spouse a friend a family member and share what you've learned.....All other films based on a real life story 'non biblical ones' all have add-ins to make it more appealing I'm sure. But the truth is many of us cannot spend 20 mins a day reading God's Word.....I mean He is God anything we ask Him according to His Will He will give....if we have a difficult time with distractions meta Instagram etc. studying it for ourselves can't we ask Him for His help and He help us gladly....we put the effort in our jobs so why not His Word, but we need to truly want to its the only way to move toward that direction...
I'm a Catholic & I love The Chosen! It unites me even closer with my friends in other denominations also by crossing tradition lines to focus on the heart of Christianity.
@@deandalley3607 What does that mean exactly? I think what she’s trying to say is Christ is at the center of Christianity and The Chosen helps create a peaceful dialogue between different denominations. The Catholic faith is not flawed as it was started by Christ Himself. Yes there are flawed people in the Catholic Church, but are we not all flawed?
@@deandalley3607 You are right. The beliefs of Catholics are seriously flawed, as well as the beliefs of Evangelicals or Baptists or Charismatics or Lutherans, or Orthodox, or.... That´s why we all need Jesus and his Salvation. No single denomination gets God and his gospel entirely right.
I absolutely love The Chosen, especially the reality that each disciple had their own personality. You couldn’t have cast a better actor to play Jesus. He is so tender and human. Great job and keep it up!
When you acknowledge that God does 'exist', don't have any expectation of anything to happen/change. Acknowledge your imperfection, and reflect on mistakes you commited, or said. Acknowledge that your eyes were closed, and Ask God for Wisdom. . Pray as if God is next to you. [Become. An. Open. Vessel. For. God.] Christ said, translated, "Behold, the kingdom of God is within you!" I urge you to ask for inspiration to understand the scriptures. And do your due diligence. Bless you friend. 🙏🏻
I must admit at first I was very much against the chosen but then..... I ended up watching episode 1 and it was so mind-blowing, it was anointed and I was instantly a fan. I don't always agree with everything but I know you guys do it with a sincere heart and are doing it for the Lord. People are being saved and set on fire for the Lord! so I end with this "What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice." Philippians 1:18 NKJV💗☺️🙏 thank you the chosen for changing the world. Indeed the Lord is using (multiplying) your loafs and fishes 🥖🐟
I am a devout Catholic from Middle East and I love the show. I can’t wait for season 3. Thank you for producing the show, as I felt much closer to my faith because of it. Thank you and your crow members,💐👏👏👏
This is why I tell anyone and everyone I can about this show ,it could possibly save more souls from spiritual death than we could ever calculate . God Bless these folks and there hard work.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and thank you so much for this video regarding the background and theological perspectives of The Chosen. I know there are many in our church that watch The Chosen and, in fact, that is how I heard about the show. I pray you are able to achieve your goals with this fantastic series and we are all anxiously awaiting series #3. You are a wonderful example of being a Christian. To me a Christian represents all faiths that believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ and exemplifies his teachings in their lives.
I love the message of The Chosen!!!!! I am a believer of Jesus Christ and have been saved by the Grace of God!!!!! Again , I love and support with prayer and finances The Chosen!!!!
Well said. Love what you are doing! We can't let denomination labels separate us from our love and devotion to our Father in Heaven. We are one eternal family and need to respect we all have different backgrounds. That's what makes this world beautiful.
This show brought my mom back to the Lord. It also has allowed me to fully focus on Yeshua even more than I ever have. The depiction of Yeshua in this show is so relatable to us now, that it would take a cold hearted person to not have their heart changed, whether it’s exact scripture or not. The fact that there is human context surrounding the scripture stories is refreshing and helps put the puzzle pieces together to help it all make more sense. Thank you Dallas, for having an open heart, spirit, and mind to the Holy Spirit and allowing this show to be written. It may not be canonized scripture, but it’s changing lives for the better and turning hearts toward the Almighty!
I think you missed the point of my post. Our focus is now on the Almighty and what HE wants most of all. Our lives have been forever changed by this show. For hyper-visual people like my family, we needed this. It makes us read our bibles now more than ever because we have seen that our savior is relatable, was one of us for a time.. the Holy Spirit has used this show to draw us toward truth. I’ve read books of the Bible that I had no interest in before. God is gathering His people, and He’s using this show to do it.
@@barryclevenger7456 If a show is bringing you to your knees before the Almighty God, and making you think about your life, and making you realize just how much repentance is required, if it makes you hunger for the true Word of God, and makes you want and need to be better living your faith and putting your trust in God, then I can’t see how that’s a bad thing.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 there is no other way to God but by Jesus. Yeshua is the Word made flesh. I think this film forgot that & got lost from the Holy Spirit that Jesus brought into the world.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I want to thank you for your inspired approach. I have felt the spirit many times watching The Chosen. Thank you, Dallas! You are doing God’s work.
You guys with soo called feeling the spirit. Ahahaha ahahaha ahahaha, ooh boy bacle up boys, bacle up. Ahahaha ahahaha. The future will shock you guys and you wont even c it coming.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I absolutely love The Chosen!! No matter what denomination or religion, the teachings are the same!! Love one another, as Jesus loves you!! While I am firm in my faith and beliefs of the gospel that my church has, I don't go judging or speaking hate on others churches or beliefs!! We all are God's children, and God and His son, Jesus Christ love us all the same!! I feel like The Chosen depicts Jesus Christ in a very good way!! I'm so glad I found this show and that it helps me understand who Jesus is as my Savior and Redeemer!❤
we are NOT 'all God's children'. Jesus said you much be born again. Jesus said the only way to the Father is by Him. narrow is the gate and few there be that find it. Not all are born again. Not all believe that HE is The Way, The Truth and the Life. Not all believe He is the Only Son of the One True and Living God. To THOSE He has made His Children.
The teachings are not the same, not everyone believes that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, a relationship with Jesus is the only way to the Father. Religion doesn’t save peoples souls.
@@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921 I understand where I was wrong. I didn't mean that all religions teach the same things, I just meant that teaching to love one another as Jesus loves you, should be the same teachings in all religions. I know that many people believe a variety of different things, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't still show love to them! Jesus died for all of us, even those who didn't love him back or would never love him back.
@@pam2viph God created ALL of us. He LOVES ALL of us. Just because we made a mistake or we sinned doesn't mean that we are cast out forever, He still loves the sinner, Jesus still loved the sinner, but They didn't and don't accept the sin. They can still love us, even though we are not perfect. None of us will ever be perfect here on this earth, but through the Savior and trying to become like him, we can be better. Jesus didn't say that he will only love us if we are born again, Jesus and the Father, give love freely, it's up to us to accept their love and become better. In the end, we are all loved, even though we are not perfect, and isn't that amazing? To be loved despite our flaws? And isn't it amazing to know that we have a loving Heavenly Father and a Savior, Jesus Christ, who are cheering us on? To me, it is pretty amazing.
I'm grateful for The Chosen Series. It has encouraged me to read the scriptures and gospels and to know Jesus more each day. We all only need to please an audience of one, that being Jesus.
Why the sabbath? Jesus was killed in the sabbath! Jesus was risen on the “first day of the new week, (Sunday) (Mark 16)! Christians celebrate Christ’s rising every Sunday! Without the darkness from the 6th to the 9th hour, we wouldn’t have a reason to celebrate! He became sin and took every single sin in one instant! The sabbath was the first Adam, we follow the last Adam! Sunday is a Holy day thanks be to the risen Son! God bless
@@user-sm1eh3yw6h Jesus died on Friday, rested on the Sabbath, and rose on Sunday. If He rested from His work of salvation on the Sabbath, how much more should we follow His example? The Sabbath was instituted in the Garden of Eden at creation and written with the very finger of God on tablets of stone. In Exodus 31:16-17, the Sabbath is called a sign between God and His people forever and in Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus says that no part of the law will pass away and we need to continue to keep them. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Likewise His laws do not change. Who should I obey - the traditions of men? Or the commandments of God?
@@user-sm1eh3yw6h lots of what Protestants believe was instituted but the Catholic Church. After all during the Protestant reformation most people were coming from a line of centuries of worshipping on Sunday in Catholicism. Also Catholics when they first started in Rome worshiped on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They however changed it (and they will admit to this) to Sunday because it gained more favor with the pagans in Rome. Go look at the history and you will see man invented the Sunday worship not God. And nowhere in the Bible does it say that God changed the day.
I just finished watching the first two seasons of The Chosen for the 6th time! As a new Christian this show is exactly the help I need. Everything that made me cry in the first viewing still makes me cry in the 6th. Thank you so much for helping me find my faith. I am 74 years old and so happy that I'm still here to witness it all!
As a new Christian, you need the word of God and fellowship in a local church. Please don't get your theology from a tv show which adds many things not in scripture and conjectures into the relational dynamics between Christ and others that goes outside what scripture itself presents. Please, don't watch the series a 7th time through, but read your Bible 7 times through instead!
I have been a Bible believing Christian for years and I too have rewatched a gillion times...so many Biblical, cultural and historical gems. Welcome to the family of God💖
You are a good man Dallas who is listening to the Holy Spirit. This is one of the many reasons this show is attracting so many millions of people who need Jesus. There will always be pharisees!!!Keep up the good work.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I love the Chosen. My sincere thanks for not making this into an anti-Mormon video. The Chosen is the closest thing Ive seen that best depicts how I think Christ behaved. I think you all got it right.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and my family LOVES this show. The care you have taken in telling these sacred stories is evident in every episode. Thank you Dallas and your team for making something like this, and doing such an amazing job with it.
You are correct! I was a member of the Mormon church when a teenager. Had I continued to believe Mormon doctrine and teaching and died in my sins I would have been lost forever! Make NO mistake the Mormon church is a false religious cult system like unto the Jehovah's witnesses or the Roman Catholic church. The devil is a LIAR and he employs false religions to entrap unsuspecting individuals like he did with me when I was a teenager. I was seduced by lying spirits but I thank God that he had mercy upon me and delivered me out of that and opened my eyes to the truth regarding the Jesus of scripture and not the Jesus of the Mormon church.
@@peggymattie5191 How do you "know" what we believe? Have you read our literature, attended our meetings, lived with and worked with our people? Do you call any religion other than the one to which you belong a cult? How about we try being allies in the fight against evil rather than quibbling about a few differences?
@@karenboyd9752 Sorry you fell for the most bizarre cult of Protestantism. The book, the book… we need no more than what the mentally wacko catholic priest did to rewrite the bible in his image. Prime example why Catholic, Orthodox and LDS all agree on Jesus instituted sacraments. Sola scriptura. Sola fide. All debunked.
I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). We love The Chosen soooooo much! Thank you for your humility to do God’s will. It’s obvious you want to please Him. It doesn’t matter what we think; it only matters what He thinks. Our family can’t wait for season 3. In the meantime we will watch seasons 1 and 2 for the hundredth time. ❤️
@@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054 yes it’s a series. They have produced 2 seasons so far. The way we watch it is do download The Chosen app and cast it to our TV. The app is free.
My wife and I have been so grateful for the love of Jesus Christ that The Chosen brings into our home! As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this show has emphasized to me that we as Christians are united in our love for the Savior. At this time when the message of the good news is SO needed across the world, I want to add my voice to those calling for unity, kindness, and respect. A house divided against itself cannot stand, AND the world knows of our dicipleship, as Christ said, by our love one for another. Thank you The Chosen for being an ambassador for faith!
Mormons teach a similar but different doctrine called the God Head. Christians don't believe in modern day prophets. Mormons teach that their president of the Church is a prophet. Christians teach that Mary the mother of Jesus was a virgin her whole life. Mormons have no such doctrine. Christians believe that the Eucharist is the literal body and blood of Jesus. Mormons think that it just represents his body and blood. Mormons believe that you become an angel when you die. Christians don't. Mormons believe in three levels of Heaven. Christians teach there's just one. Christians believe that God is the creator of the universe. Mormons believe that God used to be a human, and was elevated to godhood after he died. Mormons believe that men can become gods after they die. This is called exaltation. Christians view this as a heresy. Mormons believe that God has a physical body that you could touch just like a human. Christians believe that God is a spirit. Mormons believe that there are other gods, but they don't worship them. Christians believe in one god. Mormons reject Song of Solomon as divinely inspired scripture, but they still keep it in the Bible. Christians believe all the books of the Old Testament are divinely inspired. Christians believe the Deuterocanonical Books are divinely scripture. (Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom, Sirach, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees) Mormons don't.
@@adspie after living all over the world and around many different believers, I have learned that Russian Orthodox Christians have icons, Pentacostals are adament about the importance of gifts of the spirit, Catholics have a special place for mother Mary and do baptism by sprinkling, while Baptists have specific beliefs about the mode and importance of baptism and these are just a few of the differences. I have met many wonderful Christians who love Christ, many people who believe in the Bible as the word of God, and many people who let the love of Jesus Christ direct their life. And, as I talked with these wonderful Christians, I have learned they often disagree with each other about matters of doctrine. HOWEVER, the thing that Christ-ians have in common is there unity in loving and trying to serve Jesus Christ. I would simply re-emphasize that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a strong belief in Jesus Christ and He is at the center of everything we believe. Again, it was Christ who said a house divided cannot stand and I simply repeat my call for Christians to stand united in bearing testimony of Christ to the world. Finally, I have chosen to avoid contention or disagreement because arguing over a belief in Christ, especially during this Christmas season, which seems out of place, but I would appreciate it if you would review some of the things you have said I believe in. :) Thanks and wishing you a Merry Christmas!
I am constantly amazed at the only group of people on the planet that have had a living example of their GOD come to earth for the sole purpose of forgiving them, are also the most intolerant and judgmental people around. I don't care if Dallas is an ex jihadi muslim and a practicing buddhist. The story he's telling is perfection, scriptural and I love it. Don't change a thing.
◾Thanks for commenting and your time here really appreciate. Make a note to Peter Meklish regarding B~T~C/E~T~H investment ideas:: 📤 ①•°⑧°•②•°⑧°•⑥°•⑦°•⑤°•⑥°•⓪°•③°•②
I too am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My family and I love your show. We don’t care who works on it, we care that it brings a spirit of love in our home! Thank you for making this show!
My husband has used your show and devotional in his life group, ministering to teen boys - it has been so powerful, and such a helpful "tool" to grab their attention each week!! We absolutely love The Chosen!
I'm LDS (Mormon). I don't care if it's multiple religions working on it. It brings us all together. It is incredible and I've been raving about it too so many people and so many have watched it! :D I watched while I was recovering from knee surgery and it really lifted me up spiritually.
It brings us all together how? I only ask this because this show doesn't change the fact that The Book of Mormon makes a different truth claim than that of the Bible. The Bible says that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The official position that Mormons hold is that Jesus is not actually God, but is only the first creation of God. Either Mormons are right, Christians or right, or neither are right. If you don't believe that the Bible alone is God's completed Word then you are being deceived (by a man who lived in the 1800s and claimed that not only was the Bible incorrectly translated, which is clearly not true, but also that he needed to add to it because he had been given special revelation). The Bible says that salvation is by grace through faith alone. Call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved. I mean no disrespect to you, but I cannot bear to look at comments like yours and pretend it doesn't bother me to see people deceived.
@Darren Calling someone naive & idiotic will not help them find their way. Though no name was stated, it was inferred from comment thread. Please try the truth in love approach, it sure seems a better practice. The original argument is sound & hopefully made out of love for the one making original statement. Just not sure this is the correct forum for theological debates. 1 Cor 9:19-22 (paraphrasing) all things to all people that I might save some. I saw a comment on another youtube channel that really should be a guideline for comments, especially if you claim to be a Christ-follower. "Treat the channel you are on as if you are entering the host's place of residence. Be respectful of their home, their family, & other guests that they've invited to their home." Have we lost that in society? Have we forgotten how to respectfully disagree? Sadly it seems as though we have forgotten how to be courteous to other created beings. We must ask ourselves, "is this statement & my intention pleasing to Christ"?
I love that this project is bringing us all together, I think people have been skeptical because we love the Savior and want to protect someone so sacred. However It is our love for him that’s bringing us all together. I’ve watched this show with friends and family of different faiths and we’ve bonded over the experience.
Great explanation Dallas! My wife and I love your series! And we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints “Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”
@@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921 3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
The Trinity is not something we can agree to disagree on, it's the very heart of the faith. If you do not worship Jesus as God - eternal, uncreated - you do not know Him.
@@tylerpedersen9836 If you are seeking to be contentious, I will cease to further engage with you. The beautiful thing about The Chosen is its ability to unify us in Christ. Obviously, you have not read the Book of Mormon for yourself. If you had, you would have a come across the following passage: 2 “And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son- 3 The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son- 4 And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth. 5 And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people.”
@@tylerpedersen9836 Exodus 23:20-23, Deuteronomy 18:18-19.... Among the many verses in the new testament where Jesus says the Father is greater than the Son and that He (the Son only gets authority from the Father) the Word is God the flesh is not. No one has seen God. God is Spirit and must be worshipped in spirit. God the Father is the only uncreated being. Do not put anything or anyone on His throne. Jesus has a throne next to the Father. And please, before you quote Jesus saying He is the I Am please read the two verses I wrote at the beginning to understand how that works. May Yah bless you.
Hey Dallas! I'm Pentecostal and LOVE the show! I also love that there may be non-believers working on the show because they may start to believe and Jesus can reach them through something like this! Great leadership! Thanks for what you do.
@@jcruise6455 Hey J Cruise, Pentecost is not a religion... it's an experience that happened in the book of acts... Chapter 2 is a good place to start if you want to read about it... and it did happen and is biblical. Just check it out. Hope this helps!
@@BMO_Creative and why you call yourself as a pentecostal ? What is the pentecostal church? Is that religion right. And theres no biblical and the pentecostal . Our Lord Jesus Christ is teaching the true church in the bible we must follow the Doctrines of Christ. I read it for you, not pentecostal . Read in the book of acts. Acts. 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Is that clear . Our Lord Jesus Christ is purchased he’s own blood the Church is the Church Of God. Not pentescostal Church
@@jcruise6455 Pentecostal is a denomination within Christianity that adheres to the belief in what happened on the day of Pentecost is still happening. I grew up in a church that adhered to that view and still attend churches that belief that. It's not a separate religion, stop trying to stir up division where there need be none.
Won’t it be interesting if when He returns, we learn that everything is really about Him and not our singular faith traditions? Bravo to The Chosen and crew for answering the call to focus on teaching the world about the one came to save us all, regardless of our traditions.
@@leahtorres8638 no, cuz some call Jesus "Christ Jesus, Son of God" and some call Jesus "our spirit brother" and some call Jesus "a great prophet". only one of those Jesus-es is worthy of worship.
@@lucypevensie6284 I’d disagree. All of those titles are true. Just like I’m a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend and a confidant. None of those are disrespecting of me and I believe the Savior would be proud of all of His names and titles. He IS and will always be the Son of God, worthy of worship, but He is all the rest as well.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I love this show. I'd read the Bible before, and I enjoyed it before, but that enjoyment increases when I watch The Chosen. The Book of Mormon states that anything that draws people closer to Jesus Christ is of God. Even though I'm certain not everything happened exactly as portrayed in the show, The Chosen has without a doubt been bringing people closer to our Savior Jesus Christ and that is something that this world is in desperate need of. We don't need the bickering, we need the love of Christ. I fully believe that this show is inspired.
Well done, Dallas. I welcome the challenge of researching “How did they know that?” questions that this show raises. If our faith cannot stand questions and growth, it is merely religion. 💙 People must know‼️
If you can’t recognize the goodness in this show, then you’re probably standing too closely to your religion (religion-not faith). Maybe I’m oversimplifying this, but if we look at the core of our faith, aren’t we all just trying to bring ourselves and others closer to Christ? This show has definitely done that with so many (just read the comments), including my own family. What amazes me is not just that the show has already done that much, but that, in a way, it’s uniting Jesus’s believers throughout the world who come from so many different religious backgrounds. This is groundbreaking. Praying for you and your crew, Dallas. 🙏🏽❤️
@@Rileyed you’re forgetting the truth in the Bible of Jesus praying in Gethsemane. Jesus praying all throughout the New Testament. He was the God/Man who showed more humanity than divinity until after the Resurrection.
@@Rileyed He prayed in the garden because He was scared out of His wits and they were asleep. You should go to the conversations with scholars and understand you need to re read the pertinent scriptures. You’re going on what you’ve been fed. The greatest arguments against the divinity hinge on the way people read what He said. He was nothing without the Father thru the power and agency of the Holy Spirit. You finished your comment with the most correct thing when you stated He was the best “man” who ever lived. James didn’t know Him correctly, as the God/Man, until after the Resurrection. I would highly recommend you go to the extras and listen to the scholars and open your mind. This is hardly the first time I’ve seen/heard that He was more man than pure God. I love what Bishop Barron had to say. Shalom Aleichem and please understand that you are my brother whether we see eye to eye on everything. The garden to me was where He showed His humanity most of all. And when He got His answer or no answer, He set His course for the cross.
@@Rileyed Matthew called Levi was a tax collector. Luke was the physician. What Bible are you reading? Jesus was scared of what was to come. Yes, separation from the Father was part, maybe the most of it. You’re making numerous mistakes here. The apostles were sleeping. Luke was the Dr. and from all we read, it appears Jesus was needing the Fathers’ counsel, leading, thru the power and agency of the Holy Spirit. Broken heart as in failed heart? Yes? A broken heart as in a lovers’ heart? No. Shalom means peace….and more.
@@Rileyed the show is a show and you’re allowed to see it anyway you choose. I have had my faith restored and am in the Word every day of my life. Their Christmas special was beautiful and about as close as we’re going to get to being there. As for other aspects, you can disagree, you can look away or not look at all. I see the human side of Christ being portrayed. The Bible said He left the wealth of heaven to be made poor for our sakes. The only unforgivable sin is to not think it is all about Him and please forgive me if I have been less than charitable with our exchange. Happy Advent of the King who was born a pauper. (When I say restored, I mean the Holy Spirit came back to life in me, Christmas season 2000 and it is a long story but praise God I heard Him calling)
I really believe that The Chosen is a great example of what can happen when denominational barriers don't exist. Thank you, Dallas, and all the cast, donors and crew who have helped to make this amazing video series a reality! God bless you all and keep you as you continue on!
@@DefenderoftheCross I'm speaking of denominations within Christianity. Nothing unholy. I suppose that barriers within the body of Christ would be part of the darkness for sure. Because all who are in Christ are one, just as Jesus prayed. Love heals those wounds. The Chosen is truly a labor of love. Really great work.
@@GoTellJesusSaves 1st Corinthians 11:18-19 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. Those who are genuine will hold to the writing of the scriptures, and not to sentimentalism.
@@425346217 Excellent scripture to drive in the point. Factions, divisions and denominations only highlight people's problems, not unify people in love. The Chosen is doing just the opposite. Choosing to unify in love and in purpose. So good!
@@GoTellJesusSaves Unity should not come at the cost of truth though. The problem is not so much who is working on The Chosen but some of the narrative that is being represented as truth, like the apostles being alcoholics and adulterers for example. I noticed none of those issues were addressed in this video.
I am a member of the LDS church and I love this message Dallas! I could care less what religion anyone is! Jesus loved and taught us to love one another. If we are missing the first two commandments. Love God and Love your neighbor then we are not living our religion! Lets stop seeing how we disagree and start seeing how we agree. Contention and hate come from satan. God spoke of love and kindness. Thank you so much for all of your sacrifices and effort into this project. We love the Chosen!
This should be the top comment. The Chosen is such a great opportunity for all followers of Jesus Christ to put aside differences. Dallas is showing us by word and deed how to do it.
All excellent: actors, scenes, costumes, lines, settings…I lived and worked in the Holy Land for over 80 days! Perfect show. Thank you all…Peace Be With You. Move forward, God is moving you Dallas from all the negative. Yes, love ❤️ Jesus.
@@BetterIdeas. Don't misinterpret what I'm saying. I have nothing against people who personally don't want to see the show. My issue is those who are CONDEMNING the show. Branding it sinful, etc.
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment Many Christians have what we consider to be sound biblical reasons to not follow this show. Some keep these reservations to themselves, while others choose to publicly state their objections. People are free to react as they may--positive, neutral, negative--silent or vocal. Condemnation, even within one's heart, of honest efforts by the well-intentioned people involved in making this show is contrary to Jesus' teachings. However, some public posts by "The Chosen" social media team (including Dallas) I find anti-biblical. (Halloween, tattoos, public shaming of critics) I would be more comfortable with the show if each and every episode began with a personal statement by Dallas "This show is not replacement for scripture, we urge you to study the bible daily".
@@BetterIdeas. Then keep on studying your Bible daily, submitting to Jesus daily, praying daily, and obeying Him daily and you will be just fine no matter what Dallas or anyone else does. We each will give an account face to face with Jesus about what we did with our lives after He chose and saved us and not with each other. If you and other Christians have sound reasons for not following Dallas and The Chosen, the please feel free to stop following him and it on any platform or posting. It's your choice. I had an issue with one of the episodes and was going to quit watching completely. However, I took it to my Lord in prayer and He corrected me. Dealt with my own heart and attitude. He does discipline/correct those whom He loves -- at least that's what Hebrews says. He will even scourge us if necessary according to Hebrews. I'm sure He is quite capable of doing that with any of His born again children.
My husband & I love the Chosen. It causes us to go to the scripture and learn more. It's so touching, moving and a great tool in witnessing. It's the best representation of bible story movies we have ever seen in our lifetime as disciples of Jesus.
I have honestly been waiting years for someone to take creative inspiration with gaps of time in the new testament. I don't think it could have been done better. Also when you guys actually get to parts that are scripture it's pretty on point. Absolutely love the work.
I pay it forward because the show touched my heart. I am not a member of any church I just read my Bible. I am not a member of any church because they differ so much. Thank You for the Chosen.
I'm not religious at all, and I LOVE The Chosen. Update on 19/12/21: In response to some comments below, I'm not an atheist, as I do not reject the possibility that God exists. In fact, I am a very spiritual person. I just don't know which, if any or if all religions are correct. I am open to the possibility that some or all of the Bible stories are true, but I don't think stories written in a thousands of years old book is irrefutable evidence of their veracity. So, I'm not religious. We are One World (One Cosmos even) and I see the wisdom in 'Love One Another' (John 13:34). I disagree that there is something wrong with a Christian show reaching a much wider audience. Rather, there is something very RIGHT about a spiritual based show that has the underlying message of love and kindness towards one another which reaches and moves everyone, and not just a select few who adhere to one particular interpretation of the Bible.
@@BlueEagle-yk6dg hello, thanks for asking. As a child, I never saw the Bible as an accurate source of history or of God’s word, and as I grew up and read more, such as the Apocrypha, pseudiopigraphia, Dead Sea Scrolls, and such, I doubled down on that feeling. Funny enough, I always believed that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, but I also placed the Virgin Mary in power. I feel that paganism better represented my beliefs, especially because of the empowerment of women. On a personal level, I have never worshipped the gods and goddesses that many pagans do. I believe in One Source that designated charge energies over various things such as water, plants, air, etc…. I do not judge anyone for any belief (or lack of). I try to understand how people come to their personal conclusions, but I don’t believe in talking people out of anything. Religion, to me is man made and can be subject to that man’s interests and intentions, which appears to be why there are so many divisions now in ALL of them…Christianity, Judaism, Muslim, Paganism and otherwise. So, I follow no one spiritually, I do what works for me.
Dallas, I can speak for my family and we love The Chosen. It has brought our family together in the living room and drawn the interest of my teenagers (that's a big deal). God Speed your efforts and may you and yours continues to be blessed. And more importantly, may the love of our Savior Jesus Christ enters into the soul of every child of God that sees your show and that they will declare from the 4 corners of the earth that Jesus is the Christ.
So much hard work, dedication and prayer have gone into the making of each episode. Chosen is such a beautiful show. God is with you Dallas, nothing can harm your team’s work.
Oh, how the enemy loves to attack anything God is doing! All the harassment tells me the enemy would like to thwart the reality that "people must know"....keep up the good work! Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Word made flesh!! All people need to Jesus, the Christ....our Redeemer and Savior of the world!
I too am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we LOVE The Chosen!!! We have spent hundreds of dollars sharing it with others and supporting its content. Thank you Dallas and team for your vision!! Shame on those who call themselves Christians who are bickering amongst themselves that required Dallas to make this video! Can’t we just agree to disagree and love Jesus and each other. How would Jesus feel about these comments below. Doesn’t He just want us to Love One Another and let Him take care of Judgement Day! Let’s just get along so we can get The Chosen Message out to as many people as we can in a world desperate for it’s healing effects. This contention is of the devil because he is trying to stop this work from going forward. We can’t let him win! Love God-Love Each Other it is as simple as that!
@Mimi M here is what LDS creed is. What specific points in it do you disagree with? We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression. 3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. 4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. 5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. 6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. 7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. 8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. 9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. 10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory. 11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may. 12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law. 13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
@Mimi M True followers of Christ follow him and not lead him down self righteous puritanical paths. I choose Christ. You choose secularism apparently since you reject God is almighty and can do anything he pleases with his own world. God calls you a fool. Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews? 7 Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth? 8 Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.
@Mimi M Please stop lying and slandering. Such perversion of LDS theology really is cheap. Makes me feel that you cannot read or study for yourself. So sorry about your illiteracy. Really. Must be hard to rely on CNN-like entities who are lying to you about LDS theology. I have given you scripture yet you reject truth. None of your points are accurate in that oooppps we conveniently left out details… polygamy is not an issue. Martin Luther was compared to Joseph Smith on this by Catholic writers. Luther who is the founder of protestantism had no problem letting people marry multiple wives. He also approved of sexual freedom. Polygamy is not sinful if God permits. King David the psalmist was a polygamist. Do you reject his psalms? How about Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whom God permitted to have multiple wives… well we need to excise those scriptures too. How about gutting all but the four gospels which Luther really wanted. And then what about slavery? Joseph Smith was anti slavery. Protestants were pro slavery. Seems that is a perversion. And protestants ok’d the slaughter of millions of Jews. Another sickness Luther’s own anti semitism played out. So, honey, you Protestants who destroyed Christian unity in Europe. Guilty of genocide. Guilty of persecution ie murder rape confiscation of 19th century LDS have a lot of repentance and explaining to do. And you fret about trifles that have nothing to do with salvation nor complete truth because such involve more than jamming to rock tunes at church service? Those who have more light and knowledge need not apologize to those with less truth.
I was an atheist when I began watching this show with my wife. She thought it looked interesting. After episode 2 I thought "Didn't Mathew write a book?" And because I enjoyed Mathew's character I began reading that gospel.
Months later I now consider myself a devout Christian who reads the Bible every day.
May God bless you abundantly dear
Wow! Cool!
Thank you for sharing that. What a beautiful experience and work of God in your life! Congratulations
Praise the Lord. God bless you bruv.
Praise the Lord. This is the goal of "The Chosen," to point people to the gospels where they can meet Jesus. Welcome to the family, Stephen.
I started my walk with Jesus tonight. He is now my Savior and Lord!
That is so wonderful! I am so pleased for you! I cannot wait to meet you some day in heaven!
Welcome to the family of God!
Kara M, if you don't mind me asking, how did your walk with the Lord begin? How did you become born-again?
welcome sister, my prayers go with you
Let's GOOOOOOO 😁😁
“7 or 8 years, maybe more” Anyone else hoping for a follow up series after The Chosen finishes…? The Acts of the Apostles
Acts would make a great series. Paul's conversion, the debates about following Jewish law, the shipwreck, even the guy who fell asleep and fell out of the window when Paul was preaching. (When I've listened to pastors who are a bit long-winded, I always think of that guy :)
Yes! I'd love to see how they adapt Paul
The 7 to 8 years stuck out to me as well. It would be asking soooo much for them to deliver more. So in that, I will pray for you.
That would be wonderful. Even the chosen series inspiring other evangelical writers/producers to create a series on the acts of the apostles would be welcomed, refreshing, & inspiring. Hollywood shouldn't corner the market on "video storytelling." We need more films/series to motivate people to investigate the Bible for themselves. In a world where media is available to so many, why not utilize that venue for reaching lost souls.
I want that too! Take us all the way through the epistles!
I really love the scene with Nicodemus, where Jesus tells him about John 3:16.
When Jesus explains the Spirit to him, and he realizes he is in the presence of the Lord........
Dallas have been and continue to be blessed every time I hear and watch The Chosen
I have been and continue to be blessed.
This is one of my favorite scenes. I have watched it numerous times! It moves me every single time! I watch it along with the scene where Jesus calls Matthew!
You need to listen carefully to what Dallas has the character playing Jesus say to Nicodemus when he falls down at his feet. He says; “You don’t have to do that. What are you doing?”
I believe that this is completely heretical. In the Bible Jesus never refused worship. Remember Thomas saying when he saw Jesus after He had risen from the dead, My Lord and my God. John chapter 20:28. My goodness, Jesus was crucified because the Jewish leaders said that He made Himself equal with God! If Dallas was so concerned about representing Jesus properly he would not had written those words into the script!
@vicki, I think you are missing the forest for the trees.
"...trying to avoid religious tradition and just focus on Jesus...that's the closest we'll come to getting it right." Perfectly said Dallas! 🙌
« Avoid religious tradition » and yet celebrating Christmas full blast when Yeshua was born on Sukkot and that 25th of December is the feast of Tamouz, Baal … Honestly I like the show but I feel like they miss the goal when they try so hard to show the true Hebraic messiah and then practice the lawless Jesus on the set with all the « worshippers » of the Sun-day.
This makes the whole contradiction fit in peoples mind. They still think that worshipping in the way the pagans do is fine with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Yeshoua would come and scatter that crowd and indeed do TROUBLE.

@@thehourislate777 why are you telling me 🤷♂️? If there's something you're having a hard time understanding, tell them.
@@thehourislate777 Helios assertion is interesting..appreciate the reminder
@@thehourislate777 there is NO actual date of when Yeshua was born. Kind of have a feeling he doesn't want people to know his birthday. We technically should be celebrating his birth and death everyday. Yeshua is all love. He knows the heart. If you are celebrating the day as Yeshua's birthday than great. Since there is no way anyone knows let them have a day. God is not going to send you to hell for a tree in the house. If a relationship with Yeshua is there, than you would know it's all about the heart.
Those who hate their brothers and sisters in Massiah have not seen or know the father.
The apostle Paul said in Philippians chapter 1.
"15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 [c]The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice."
I don’t care what religion people who work on the chosen because the story of the people around Jesus and his teachings rings true and sends me to the scriptures to see what’s true. Any thing that gives me the desire to study Christ is beautiful. 💕
Dallas, so well said!! Thank you for creating something that UNIFIES Christians instead of dividing them!! We have literally spent centuries arguing about the metaphorical branches and twigs of the gospel instead of uniting ourselves around the trunk - Christ, his teachings, his miracles, his love, and his great sacrifice. Thank you for making the scriptures come alive without distracting from scripture! Love it! Your work is helping to accomplish what the resurrected Christ commanded: “Go ye therefore and teach all nations…teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” Thank you!
Mormonism isn't Christianity
Dallas we are 58 years old and staunch Catholics. We perfectly fine with the good job you've done. We watched in tears every episode. Thank you so much
I am a non denominational Christian and I too am in tears every episode. The beauty of our Savior, His actions, and His life shines through this show. Much love and blessings upon you, and your family my brother.
I’m a Catholic too and LOVE the show! I love all Christians!
@@christophereppler7126 Yes me too, I also had a dream when I was going through some hard times, i couldnt reach the Lord I was truly going through struggle but the a friend of mine invited me to a church and I didnt want to go but something in me wasn't right. Then I went and the preacher spoke and it was as if he was talking to me and I went home watch the movie Passion for Christ and I got ln my knees and prayed. 3 weeks after that I had a vision of a man in pure light long hair and white pigment and I felt confortable and peace and he said it is over, you are welcomed. I then changed since then and waiting on the rapture for him to come and take us out of this world because we dont belong here. I also was thd first volunteers for the vaccine, I really wanted to help people by pointing my life in line and thank God everything went well. Hope you the best if you reply.
As a Catholic you should be ashamed of yourself. You should not be watching this perverse version of the scripture created by a follower of a Protestant sect. The Catholic Church is the absolute and the only answer. Turn to the church for the truth. Don’t be tempted by the perverted bastardization of our Scripture .
I'm catholic too, and I'm totally agree with you
The Chosen has helped me open my Bible even more just to know the actual stories better! I enjoy this series and am so grateful for it! It's so much better than all of the filth on television today!!
AGREED,Kari!!!
And scripture is even better. This show is annointed though.
I can second or third that for sure...100% agreed..
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
We all deserve to go to hell because we have sinned. But God loved us and gave us His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place to pay the punishment of all of our sins for us when he died on the cross. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and yet God the Son also. God the Father (God)has raised Jesus his son from the dead. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!!!! Repent of your sins, and believe in who Jesus is and what He did for you and that God the Father has raised Him from the dead and you WILL BE SAVED FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE(hell).
Sinner’s prayer
Lord, I know I’m a sinner, I believe that you died on the cross in my place of burning in hell forever so I wouldn’t have to go to hell. I accept your sacrifice for me. Please save me from the lake of fire and forgive my sins. Thank you for the gift of eternal life!
Amen.
Now turn from your wicked ways towards Jesus Christ and surrender your life to Him!
If you have any questions please ask me!
God bless you!😊♥️♥️♥️
@@jessefirman48 Thank you for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ
I'm a Christian non-denomination but I go toward Pentecostal. It makes me more interested in reading the BIBLE
Just finished all of Luke after watching the Chosen. I'm interested in how many Bible sales were the result of this show. 🤔
I understand Melissa what you are saying. I was brought up Pentecostal, and moved to a more non denominational and relationship faith in Christ. Not a religion or doctrine in religion
Basically I'm the same. I was raised Catholic, started going to a Baptist church in my 20s, and now go to non-denominational church that leans more towards Pentecostal. 🤷🏻♀️ I have nothing but love for my Baptist and Catholic brothers and sisters, though. (Not implying you were saying you don't have love, by the way.) Basically, I still feel comfortable in mass or in a Baptist service. Could be I'm just weird. 🤷🏻♀️😉😂
No I think you are just fine, love is what its all about!!!
I worked full time for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a Director of Photography and a Director/Writer. The Chosen was the first outside project that was allowed to use the Jerusalem set. I directed films there and was ecstatic when The Chosen was cleared to use the set. I’ve been a member of the LDS Church my whole life but grew up around Evangelical Christians. I truly believe The Chosen is directed by the hand of God and the Savior himself. I absolutely love that it’s being created by an evangelical. And I truly believe this project is healing and uniting believers of all backgrounds. Get used to different.
I love this! I was so excited when I saw that The Chosen was filming at the Goshen set. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I love The Chosen and the diversity of it’s cast and crew/creators/distributors. What a Christ-like endeavor ❤️ My heart has been touched over and over again by this beautiful show. Thanks Brother Sines for all of your work on Church productions.
Thak you for that insight, as a convert, I have heard a lot of misinformation about the Church, it seems there is a misunderstanding about our belief in Christ. Our song, I Believe in Christ, says it all.
Yes!! Amen ❤❤❤
@@Jan-wd1is lies...
The issues is that the members of Christ cannot be united with “believers” outside of Christ. The LDS beliefs aren’t simply different. The works-based salvation and the Christ of the LDS church NOT being the eternal God who created all things means there is an infinite gulf between you and the body of Christ. This is not an attempt by me to be mean to anyone, it would be truly unloving not to warn you and others on CZcams that Mormons are not Christians and do not have eternal life.
I wanted to share this show with my doctor who is catholic. He showed me that he watches it too 😄 and so we chatted a little about it. It doesn’t matter if we are two different religions! We both believe in Christ and love that show! Brings us all together!
How it should be. Glad to hear that
Catholics are Christians. You both don’t have two different religions lol
@@Ellapinkette Catholics baptize in Father Son and Holy ghost.
Christian do not.
@@Dipp182 the instruction of baptism is a topic that can be clarified in Matthew 28:19.
But my point is….Catholics ARE Christians. And they were there 500 years before the breakout of other denominations. If you believe that Jesus is God, and he is a part of the Trinity, and he was raised from the dead and will come again, you are a follower of Christ, a Christian.
No need to seclude people for your benefit.

Except Jesus never tells them in the show to repent of their sins. Dallas... is misguiding millions and it's so sad to see this. I'm not saying it is impossible but the facts are what they are.

I don’t need the producers or the actors to have the same doctrinal perspectives I have for me to be blessed with this show. Thank you, Brother Dallas and team for your wonderful work.

I have loved watching The Chosen! Thank you for staying true to the Bible account. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I am excited to support this cause, the cause of knowing and following Jesus!
As an Evangelical Pastor and “CZcamsr,” I have had to learn a really hard lesson, and that is… some professing “Christians” have the “gift” of discouragement. No matter what you do, someone will have a problem with it, and have no problem telling you, in the harshest of words, the “evil” you are guilty of. My advice to Pastors and for anyone working and living for the Lord is, you can’t please everyone, and that’s okay. Just be faithful to the One.
Pastor Nelson! Great to see you here. I have been very blessed by your content in my nearly 6 years of walking with the Lord. You are so right in what you are saying. For years, I have felt grieved by the attitudes and foolishness of some Christians who are often the most passionate about the word of God. There seems to be this tendency (particularly amongst conservative evangelicals) to exude a harsh and judgmental demeanor when it comes to areas where Christians disagree. I have been learning to focus only on what God says and thinks lately in my life. Its SUCH a relief when you live to please only ONE: The Lord Jesus. So grateful that He loves us unconditionally and that His grace is sufficient for us. Praying for you as you continue to reach many for Christ and edify His Church through your ministry. Blessings 🙏

I'm a member as well, and I held off for a year in watching this, because I felt that I didn't want "another interpretation" that I had already come to have in my heart for Jesus. My wife cajoled, pleaded... okay, she nagged just a bit. So when I was busted watching it at 2AM, falling asleep and not getting it, she said, just watch the last 5 minutes. Let's just say I was reaching for the kleenex! And ranting that others should watch it. The quality is great! It doesn't take away or add to the scriptures, and indeed, brings in (to me) MORE symbolism, meaning and applicability of the scriptures to our lives.
Well done Dallas! And I appreciate your dedication to adhering to the stories in the bible, and also bringing in others with expertise in culture and traditions as well so as to weave a plausible story.
Same here, and I LOVE this show:)
What I love about The Chosen is, the fact that im going back to scripture and read and dig into the word even more, you read and realistically see the characters unfold. The Bible has never been more "relatable".
Doctrines and tradition and mindset and ideas might keep people divided, however Jesus and loving Him is the focus!

@Alvin Ochola but in men and women who belong to them.
@Alvin Ochola Jesus created one Church. Not Churches. So only one Church can be the Church created by Jesus. Research who founded the different denominations of Churches. You will find that your are mostly correct. Out of the 35,000+ denominations there was one Church created by the God Man, all the others were created by a man.
@@vffemt83 the church is every person who has been born again. The church is the body of Christ. However I do believe there is a church that never disappeared. It wasn't established by Constantine either in around 300AD. There is a church that has always been tho underground many times when it was persecuted by Catholics and Protestants alike. God didn't lose His church nor did it need to be reestablished in the 1800's. There is a rich history of the true believers that always held to scripture as it's finally authority.
@@billycroom9208 With the death of Christ’s apostles and other leaders of the church, the priesthood, which was the authority to act in God’s name in order to perform ordinances (examples: blessing and baptizing others), was lost from the earth and needed to be restored. The priesthood was indeed restored. Joseph Smith was indeed a prophet of God. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are God’s word on the earth today.

Perfect statement of faith and then some! Anyone who listens to this will know "where The Chosen is coming from"! It's all here in one neat little package. It's good to put this out there every so often as we are growing so much, even globally! Blessings and prayers always! Let's reach those billion!
I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The name Mormon is not actually what we are. That being said ……. Thank you thank you so much for this amazing show! I am grateful for the people need to know movement.
Mormonism is a cult...The Jesus of the Mormons is not the Jesus is the bible...
I was a Mormon when a teenager and if I had continued to believe Mormon doctrine and teaching and died in my sins I would have been lost forever! The Jesus of the scriptures and the Jesus of Mormonism are 2 different Jesus's. The devil is a LIAR and he uses false religion's like Mormonism to entrap people!
Kathleen, I am a Catholic who also loves, "The Chosen". God Bless you.
@@karenboyd9752 im sorry to hear that is what you were taught. Unfortunately Grace is not taught well in our church but I can assure you we believe in the same Christ and that all are saved by Grace not by works, just as Jesus taught.
@Spooky Isaiah 40:22=He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth...The earth is round according to God...
I love how The Chosen has brought lots of “disagreeing” people together. Catholics, Protestants, unaffiliated… good stuff.
Edit: typo!
It’s basically what Jesus did in gathering His disciples, fisherman, a publican, a zealot, and more. He wants all of us to come to Him, and this show does a great job of showcasing that.
Proving its not about religion but Jesus
Me too. I like all the diversity of beliefs. I think the most important is putting Christ first regardless of the minor differences.
@@somebody7270 well Mormonism would not be a minor disagreement at all but the theology of the show is obviously not Mormon. Thank God!
Ya me too😊
Hey Dallas! I'm a Seventh Day Adventist and my family and I deeply appreciate what you are doing. Praying for you brother!
Love what you did I told all my friends in Canada Dallas you are awesome God bless you and your family
I was initially very hesitant about watching The Chosen, but having now watched the first two seasons, I've come to love the way the show aspires to adhere to the gospel narratives and use its creative licence in a way that doesn't compromise the Biblical content.
"As long as I am doing the right thing before God, I don’t mind being criticized. The only one I’m seeking approval from is God.” My admiration for this show just went up 10,000 percent. So thankful the emphasis is on the story not faith traditions, I love this show even more than Dreamworks Prince of Egypt!
And this video is exactly why I love this show! It's real, honest, humble, and committed to bringing the gospels to life so that our hearts burn with desire for God's Word and a fresh awakening to His work in history. Keep up the great work Dallas, your project is turning people of all backgrounds to Christ!!
Well said friend. I agree.
Agreed 🥰 🙌❤️
Oh yes, I agree also!
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and we LOVE you and what you’re doing! Your effort, study and prayer to know the right way is inspiring. Thank you for your excellent example.
Amen Amy
You aren’t concerned that the Bible warns us of “doctrines of demons?” No judgement here I just only believe the Bible. Satan is behind all “organized religion” no matter what form it’s in. God doesn’t want our religion. He wants a pure relationship with us. Religion is dead. Jesus is the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. Be blessed.
Yeah but that heavenly mother stuff is false.
I have noticed that every Mormon commenting on this video goes to great lengths to say the very long-winded, "I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." Whew! What a mouthful! Why not just say the much simpler, "I'm a Mormon." Who do you really think you're fooling? You do know that people can research this stuff at the tap of a finger now, right? Mormonism and the LDS Church are interchangeable terms. To say otherwise demonstrates either complete ignorance of the history of the Mormon religion or rank deception. Those terms (i.e., "Mormon" or "LDS" or "Mormonism" or "Latter-Day Saints," etc.) all represent the exact same Christ-denying religion/cult founded by the mountebank Joseph Smith. If you are a Mormon (or, if you prefer, "a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" . . . whew!), then I urge you to repent and place your trust exclusively in the *true Christ* of Scripture and history. His *finished* work of redemption (i.e., His perfect life and fulfillment of ALL of God's laws; His substitutionary, propitiatory death on the Cross; and His bodily resurrection) constitute the *only* way anyone can be reconciled to God. The Mormons'/LDS's false gospel of works leads only to eternal separation from God. I urge you to study the Bible (not the one corrupted by Joseph Smith, but a legitimate Bible, such as the NASB or the NKJV or the ESV) and compare and contrast what it teaches versus the doctrines taught by Mormon presidents/prophets, Doctrine and Covenants, the Book of Mormon, and The Pearl of Great Price. Then follow the truth where it leads.
@@Eighties_Child sorry didn't read your comment.. it was too long winded.
Prayers for EVERYONE involved in the Production of The Chosen. A seed was planted in me while on retreat in September. While channel surfing Sunday night came upon a showing of the Shepherd. Have been watching Season one all week. Went to the Christmas Movie. My faith has been recharged! I am so very grateful!
“By their fruits you shall know them “ You only have to see the abundant fruit that has been produced , to more than appreciate this awesome series!!! Can’t wait for season 3 !!!👏👏👏 If you haven’t yet-“COME AND SEE “
AMEN 🙌🏻💕
Amen!
Fruits? Changing the BIble? Is that a good thign? NO! Promoting while also hiding LDS is that a good thing? NO!
People must know😉
@@BetterIdeas. You need to please calm down and think about what you are doing by judging others please... Pagan...Satanic...Wow..... And YOU know this ----- how??????
Perhaps change your avatar to "Not Even Amazing Grace".....
Jesus is pleased any time people are led to Him! And I love that the Chosen is doing that. It’s well done and I applaud all your efforts! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, our family has thoroughly enjoyed The Chosen!! I think it’s wonderful that there are so many different faiths involved. Keep up the inspired work!
Yes, your space alien cult owns the production company, of course you enjoyed it.
To melanie: i too am lds and i agree completely with your comments. I get so much understanding to add to my beliefs and am thankful for this series. May Heavenly Father bless you and your family!!
Why do you call God a mere saint?
@@Videogeek95 no one calls Heavenly Father a mere saint
@@Videogeek95 We don't!
I'm a Catholic who lived in Rome for three years studying Theology. I enjoyed the art of the City, especially Christian art like Caravaggio, Michelangelo, etc...I think that "The Chosen" is the new art that we need to approach Jesus in our 21 Century, and this show is gonna pass to the story just like that great artist did because is a very good way to represent life and the message of Christ. You are making a great job, God bless you !
I am a Catholic and spent a lot of time in Rome also. I remember walking through a church, it was not a great elegant church, and then coming across the Contarelli Chapel where the Caravaggio calling of Matthew was! Amazing it was tucked away in a little corner! Agree, the Chosen and the Passion is the revival of Christian art of the 21st century!!
@@matthewr4836 Yes!! I know that Church is called "San Luigi dei francesi", that painting is beautiful!
@@gabrielaortegon8385 yes!! So beautiful! Love Caravaggio claraoscura
One of the miracles of this SHOW... is the FACT that so many folks from different denominations and walks of life have come together to make this SHOW, and all in the audience of the same make up are watching it. I'm a Catholic and adult and can tell the difference between scripture and script... I can also see how each has come together to give us a story that inspires us in our Christian faith. If others can't get this... turn the channel... problem solved. Thank you Dallas and Chosen actors and crew❣
Mormons teach a similar but different doctrine called the God Head.
Christians don't believe in modern day prophets.
Mormons teach that their president of the Church is a prophet.
Christians teach that Mary the mother of Jesus was a virgin her whole life.
Mormons have no such doctrine.
Christians believe that the Eucharist is the literal body and blood of Jesus.
Mormons think that it just represents his body and blood.
Mormons believe that you become an angel when you die.
Christians don't.
Mormons believe in three levels of Heaven.
Christians teach there's just one.
Christians believe that God is the creator of the universe.
Mormons believe that God used to be a human, and was elevated to godhood after he died.
Mormons believe that men can become gods after they die. This is called exaltation.
Christians view this as a heresy.
Mormons believe that God has a physical body that you could touch just like a human.
Christians believe that God is a spirit.
Mormons believe that there are other gods, but they don't worship them.
Christians believe in one god.
Mormons reject Song of Solomon as divinely inspired scripture, but they still keep it in the Bible.
Christians believe all the books of the Old Testament are divinely inspired.
Christians believe the Deuterocanonical Books are divinely scripture. (Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom, Sirach, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees)
Mormons don't.
Especially Christians Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox are precise and consistent if DALLAS gets his info from this Denominations.
@@adspie I dont follow mormonism so your long list doesn't mean anything to me... BUT, I can still sit next to a Mormon and watch the show... Quite honestly, you can delete it and put it somewhere someone would care about all that you wrote. It just doesn't mean a thing to me, I simply don't care what they do. I support the show and this comment was for the show.
Ecumenism is evidence of its compromise with the world, not its fidelity to Scripture.
True Christianity and Catholicism are also incompatible.
@@DefenderoftheCross I just like the show... I will continue to enjoy it whether I agree with everything or not...
As a member of the LDS faith, some of your statements about our beliefs are actually incorrect. It may help you to ask a member so that the information you share is 100% accurate.
Dallas and staff, yall are doing an excellent job. I've watched both seasons at least 5x each. My kids love it and it's gotten them interested in scripture as a 13, 11 and 8 year old! You are bringing people to Christ! Keep up the incredible work! 👏
That is wonderful that your children want to learn. We need the Word to be continued and not lost. I believe that the world is currently in a spiritual battle for the survival of Good against Evil. Evil is so rampant today, and some people do not even recognize it.
As embarrassing as it is to admit, I didn’t completely understand Scripture. While I know the show isn’t verbatim, it has given me an overall understanding so now, when I pick my Bible up and began to read, I understand it more. Thank you. This show made a difference in my life.
Well when you do completely understand please leave a hint for the rest of us. :)
The day we think we completely understand is the day we stop learning.
@@Hludwine Why not just watch the show and read the bible yourself instead to figure i out yourself?
As a catholic I love your show and the fact that it causes many to dive into scripture within the context of their faith.
Mark: 9,40 JESUS, “ ANYONE who is not against us is for us”🕯👍🏼🕯
Protestant here and I 100% agree!
Can you explain what you mean by context?
Context of their faith? Im not sure I understand what that means. Does it mean changing Scripture to fit a religion?
@@williamgullett5911 I'm catholic and idk what he means, but WE DO NOT believe in changing ANYTHING in the scripture!!! That's complete blasfemy. If I spelled it right...
I believe in Christ and I 100% agree! This show has helped enriched my gospel study with new perspectives! 🤗
Dallas you and your team did a great service to the world for creating The Chosen. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Chosen has touched my heart and brought the Holy Spirit to my soul. Please ignore the naysayers. If people would live the way Jesus is portrayed in the Chosen they wouldn't be pointing fingers at you or the cast for not being a member of their faith.
We all need to come together as one to the Lord regardless of what denomination we may be.
Satan wants to destroy God's work here on earth, he doesn't care about denomination.
Dallas ,you are an evangelist for the world leading, so many to Jesus ,through this magnificent series!

Thank you &all your team &God bless you &your beautiful family ALWAYS 💖⭐️🙏☦️✝️😇⭐️🙏💙🥰
I’m Catholic and love everything you are doing. I believe The Chosen is uniting all Christian’s and is also bringing nonbelievers to the Truth. Keep doing what you’re doing, Dallas. May God continue to bless you, your family, and everyone involved in the series!
I am Catholic and I LOVE The Chosen!!!!🙏🙏❣️❣️. Keep up the good work Dallas
Me too!!! Catholic and LOVE the Chosen!
The Chosen has increased my love for Jesus as it shows the love and intimacy he has for humanity as the son of the living God. I believe it can make those who watch it better children of God and less materialistic.
God bless you Dallas for your diligence in putting this show into a world that needs it so much! My prayers are with you and everyone who is a part of this amazing endeavor!💜
This show brought me home. I have nothing but love for The Chosen and now include you all in my prayers at night, thanking God for this show.
At the end of the day! Every time I watch this show! Im literally moved 🔥 by the Presence of the Holy Spirit! I literally feel that the Lord is sitting next to me when I watch this show!! I don’t want to end! I pray in the name of Jesus that this show will finish all of the 7 season and continue to make new shows ! I want to be a part of this shows growth!! I will contribute! God bless you Dallas!!
I have tried to tell everyone about this show. Some have listened and actually came to me to say Thanks because it had the same effect. It does draw us closer to God’s word. Makes us excited to read again, and most importantly has brought some reality and humanity to people on a personal level. Seeing Jesus and the Disciples as approachable has led me to become closer to my Jesus. It’s phenomenal
Just a word of encouragement.....let's not sit or go about our day as if we're waiting for some song series etc. to draw us closer or get excited to read God's Word........let's place the pressure on ourselves a bit more and be good students - study God's Word when we don't feel like it, pray when we don't feel like it........it requires effort on our part.....iron sharpens iron and is not always criticism we are to stir it Up in one another when we fell jaded to God's Word pray and ask the Father for a mindset to go pick up our cross and follow Him by doing the things we don't feel like doing esp when it comes to studying His Word. Be blessed
@@alyssanacd I am in the word everyday and have my own individual relationship with the Lord. It’s very exciting to see people who are otherwise lukewarm to become on fire by this series. Also, just like learning, we all have different styles of learning. Some are tactile and some are repetitive some can learn simply by listening. A visual connection that normalizes the ‘saints’ helps some to become more Interested because they feel they can relate. I’m praying that you see that not only is it great to be disciplined like the scholars but many more people may be coming to their own in seeing this. If it creates more disciples then it is good in God’s eyes. He uses many different people to do his will, that may have otherwise be sidelined.
Be blessed
@@tracipanzica5930 I can appreciate the different styles of learning and how well you described each. My point is if you're going to depict Bible stories as a 'Believer' it's best and safe to be accurate. There are accurate accounts of Bible story films for visual learners. It's good to get excited about God's Word and reading it but if something external only gets us excited about it wow....ask for the desire first to study it, get yourself a good study Bible I read the John MacArthur Study Bible with loads of info, find another believer could be your spouse a friend a family member and share what you've learned.....All other films based on a real life story 'non biblical ones' all have add-ins to make it more appealing I'm sure. But the truth is many of us cannot spend 20 mins a day reading God's Word.....I mean He is God anything we ask Him according to His Will He will give....if we have a difficult time with distractions meta Instagram etc. studying it for ourselves can't we ask Him for His help and He help us gladly....we put the effort in our jobs so why not His Word, but we need to truly want to its the only way to move toward that direction...
I'm a Catholic & I love The Chosen! It unites me even closer with my friends in other denominations also by crossing tradition lines to focus on the heart of Christianity.
And what is the heart of Christianity?
If you are a true Catholic your beliefs are seriously flawed.
@@deandalley3607 What does that mean exactly? I think what she’s trying to say is Christ is at the center of Christianity and The Chosen helps create a peaceful dialogue between different denominations. The Catholic faith is not flawed as it was started by Christ Himself. Yes there are flawed people in the Catholic Church, but are we not all flawed?
@@emilybacon5456, well stated, God Bless!
@@deandalley3607 You are right. The beliefs of Catholics are seriously flawed, as well as the beliefs of Evangelicals or Baptists or Charismatics or Lutherans, or Orthodox, or.... That´s why we all need Jesus and his Salvation. No single denomination gets God and his gospel entirely right.
I absolutely love The Chosen, especially the reality that each disciple had their own personality. You couldn’t have cast a better actor to play Jesus. He is so tender and human. Great job and keep it up!
I’m one of those weird atheists that studies the bible and I think this project is truly amazing.
Come aboard friend - we'd love to have you......everyone is welcomed!
@@MsDana-mo9fp Thanks for the welcome 🤗, wish I had people to talk to about the show rather bore my girlfriend with my overexcitement.
When you acknowledge that God does 'exist', don't have any expectation of anything to happen/change. Acknowledge your imperfection, and reflect on mistakes you commited, or said.
Acknowledge that your eyes were closed, and Ask God for Wisdom. .
Pray as if God is next to you.
[Become. An. Open. Vessel. For. God.]
Christ said, translated, "Behold, the kingdom of God is within you!"
I urge you to ask for inspiration to understand the scriptures.
And do your due diligence.
Bless you friend.

Join the kingdom, my friend.
@@SinuousStudios Join "the Chosen fanclub"! We love to talk about the show there!
I must admit at first I was very much against the chosen but then..... I ended up watching episode 1 and it was so mind-blowing, it was anointed and I was instantly a fan. I don't always agree with everything but I know you guys do it with a sincere heart and are doing it for the Lord. People are being saved and set on fire for the Lord! so I end with this "What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice."
Philippians 1:18 NKJV💗☺️🙏 thank you the chosen for changing the world. Indeed the Lord is using (multiplying) your loafs and fishes 🥖🐟
Ya my first impression was that it was super weird XD
What do you mean that the show was anointed
I am a devout Catholic from Middle East and I love the show. I can’t wait for season 3. Thank you for producing the show, as I felt much closer to my faith because of it. Thank you and your crow members,💐👏👏👏
This is why I tell anyone and everyone I can about this show ,it could possibly save more souls from spiritual death than we could ever calculate . God Bless these folks and there hard work.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and thank you so much for this video regarding the background and theological perspectives of The Chosen. I know there are many in our church that watch The Chosen and, in fact, that is how I heard about the show. I pray you are able to achieve your goals with this fantastic series and we are all anxiously awaiting series #3. You are a wonderful example of being a Christian. To me a Christian represents all faiths that believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ and exemplifies his teachings in their lives.
I’m a member too! I absolutely love this series’s!!! It’s beautifully put together!
Why do you call God a mere saint?
@@nonachan2205 Why do you call God a mere saint?
@@nonachan2205 started watching The Chosen when I was still a Southern Baptist, but I converted to The Church this summer and I love it just the same!
I love the message of The Chosen!!!!! I am a believer of Jesus Christ and have been saved by the Grace of God!!!!! Again , I love and support with prayer and finances The Chosen!!!!
Well said. Love what you are doing! We can't let denomination labels separate us from our love and devotion to our Father in Heaven. We are one eternal family and need to respect we all have different backgrounds. That's what makes this world beautiful.
This show brought my mom back to the Lord. It also has allowed me to fully focus on Yeshua even more than I ever have. The depiction of Yeshua in this show is so relatable to us now, that it would take a cold hearted person to not have their heart changed, whether it’s exact scripture or not. The fact that there is human context surrounding the scripture stories is refreshing and helps put the puzzle pieces together to help it all make more sense.
Thank you Dallas, for having an open heart, spirit, and mind to the Holy Spirit and allowing this show to be written. It may not be canonized scripture, but it’s changing lives for the better and turning hearts toward the Almighty!
If it’s not canonized scripture or exact scripture then run from it!
I think you missed the point of my post. Our focus is now on the Almighty and what HE wants most of all. Our lives have been forever changed by this show. For hyper-visual people like my family, we needed this. It makes us read our bibles now more than ever because we have seen that our savior is relatable, was one of us for a time.. the Holy Spirit has used this show to draw us toward truth. I’ve read books of the Bible that I had no interest in before. God is gathering His people, and He’s using this show to do it.
@@barryclevenger7456 did you hear _anything_ Dallas said???
@@barryclevenger7456 If a show is bringing you to your knees before the Almighty God, and making you think about your life, and making you realize just how much repentance is required, if it makes you hunger for the true Word of God, and makes you want and need to be better living your faith and putting your trust in God, then I can’t see how that’s a bad thing.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 there is no other way to God but by Jesus. Yeshua is the Word made flesh. I think this film forgot that & got lost from the Holy Spirit that Jesus brought into the world.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I want to thank you for your inspired approach. I have felt the spirit many times watching The Chosen. Thank you, Dallas! You are doing God’s work.
Same
Same here. So nice the church permitted them to use the Jerusalem set.
You guys with soo called feeling the spirit. Ahahaha ahahaha ahahaha, ooh boy bacle up boys, bacle up. Ahahaha ahahaha. The future will shock you guys and you wont even c it coming.
@@yemusyemus2747 There’s the Christian way!
Same here! Love this show.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I absolutely love The Chosen!! No matter what denomination or religion, the teachings are the same!! Love one another, as Jesus loves you!! While I am firm in my faith and beliefs of the gospel that my church has, I don't go judging or speaking hate on others churches or beliefs!! We all are God's children, and God and His son, Jesus Christ love us all the same!! I feel like The Chosen depicts Jesus Christ in a very good way!! I'm so glad I found this show and that it helps me understand who Jesus is as my Savior and Redeemer!❤
we are NOT 'all God's children'. Jesus said you much be born again. Jesus said the only way to the Father is by Him. narrow is the gate and few there be that find it. Not all are born again. Not all believe that HE is The Way, The Truth and the Life. Not all believe He is the Only Son of the One True and Living God. To THOSE He has made His Children.
No,, the teaching are NOT the same! Wake up!
The teachings are not the same, not everyone believes that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, a relationship with Jesus is the only way to the Father. Religion doesn’t save peoples souls.
@@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921 I understand where I was wrong. I didn't mean that all religions teach the same things, I just meant that teaching to love one another as Jesus loves you, should be the same teachings in all religions. I know that many people believe a variety of different things, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't still show love to them! Jesus died for all of us, even those who didn't love him back or would never love him back.
@@pam2viph God created ALL of us. He LOVES ALL of us. Just because we made a mistake or we sinned doesn't mean that we are cast out forever, He still loves the sinner, Jesus still loved the sinner, but They didn't and don't accept the sin. They can still love us, even though we are not perfect. None of us will ever be perfect here on this earth, but through the Savior and trying to become like him, we can be better. Jesus didn't say that he will only love us if we are born again, Jesus and the Father, give love freely, it's up to us to accept their love and become better. In the end, we are all loved, even though we are not perfect, and isn't that amazing? To be loved despite our flaws? And isn't it amazing to know that we have a loving Heavenly Father and a Savior, Jesus Christ, who are cheering us on? To me, it is pretty amazing.
I'm grateful for The Chosen Series. It has encouraged me to read the scriptures and gospels and to know Jesus more each day. We all only need to please an audience of one, that being Jesus.
I'm a Seventh day Adventist. I love the show. And I KNOW how Adventists can be sometimes. But keep up the great work. I'll keep watching.
Heyyyy me too. Love it
I'm an SDA as well.
Greetings from North Arkansas USA.
Why the sabbath? Jesus was killed in the sabbath! Jesus was risen on the “first day of the new week, (Sunday) (Mark 16)! Christians celebrate Christ’s rising every Sunday! Without the darkness from the 6th to the 9th hour, we wouldn’t have a reason to celebrate! He became sin and took every single sin in one instant! The sabbath was the first Adam, we follow the last Adam! Sunday is a Holy day thanks be to the risen Son! God bless
@@user-sm1eh3yw6h Jesus died on Friday, rested on the Sabbath, and rose on Sunday. If He rested from His work of salvation on the Sabbath, how much more should we follow His example?
The Sabbath was instituted in the Garden of Eden at creation and written with the very finger of God on tablets of stone. In Exodus 31:16-17, the Sabbath is called a sign between God and His people forever and in Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus says that no part of the law will pass away and we need to continue to keep them. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Likewise His laws do not change. Who should I obey - the traditions of men? Or the commandments of God?
@@user-sm1eh3yw6h lots of what Protestants believe was instituted but the Catholic Church. After all during the Protestant reformation most people were coming from a line of centuries of worshipping on Sunday in Catholicism. Also Catholics when they first started in Rome worshiped on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They however changed it (and they will admit to this) to Sunday because it gained more favor with the pagans in Rome. Go look at the history and you will see man invented the Sunday worship not God. And nowhere in the Bible does it say that God changed the day.
I just finished watching the first two seasons of The Chosen for the 6th time! As a new Christian this show is exactly the help I need. Everything that made me cry in the first viewing still makes me cry in the 6th. Thank you so much for helping me find my faith. I am 74 years old and so happy that I'm still here to witness it all!
As a new Christian, you need the word of God and fellowship in a local church. Please don't get your theology from a tv show which adds many things not in scripture and conjectures into the relational dynamics between Christ and others that goes outside what scripture itself presents. Please, don't watch the series a 7th time through, but read your Bible 7 times through instead!
I have been a Bible believing Christian for years and I too have rewatched a gillion times...so many Biblical, cultural and historical gems. Welcome to the family of God💖
You are a good man Dallas who is listening to the Holy Spirit. This is one of the many reasons this show is attracting so many millions of people who need Jesus. There will always be pharisees!!!Keep up the good work.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I love the Chosen. My sincere thanks for not making this into an anti-Mormon video. The Chosen is the closest thing Ive seen that best depicts how I think Christ behaved. I think you all got it right.
I also thabk him for not doing that
Yes.
I pray you come to know the authentic Yeshua (Jesus) of the Bible.
I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. We do know the authentic Yeshua of the Bible. We invite you to come to know Him better ❤
When I was praying one day I felt that name come to me. Yeshua. I'd never heard it before. Where do we read or hear Jesus called yeshua?
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and my family LOVES this show. The care you have taken in telling these sacred stories is evident in every episode. Thank you Dallas and your team for making something like this, and doing such an amazing job with it.
Mormonism is a cult...The Jesus of the bible is not the same Jesus of the Mormons...You believe in another Jesus as mentioned in the scriptures...
Catholic here who also loves, "The Chosen". God Bless you, Brandt.
You are correct! I was a member of the Mormon church when a teenager. Had I continued to believe Mormon doctrine and teaching and died in my sins I would have been lost forever! Make NO mistake the Mormon church is a false religious cult system like unto the Jehovah's witnesses or the Roman Catholic church. The devil is a LIAR and he employs false religions to entrap unsuspecting individuals like he did with me when I was a teenager. I was seduced by lying spirits but I thank God that he had mercy upon me and delivered me out of that and opened my eyes to the truth regarding the Jesus of scripture and not the Jesus of the Mormon church.
@@peggymattie5191 How do you "know" what we believe? Have you read our literature, attended our meetings, lived with and worked with our people? Do you call any religion other than the one to which you belong a cult? How about we try being allies in the fight against evil rather than quibbling about a few differences?
@@karenboyd9752 Sorry you fell for the most bizarre cult of Protestantism. The book, the book… we need no more than what the mentally wacko catholic priest did to rewrite the bible in his image. Prime example why Catholic, Orthodox and LDS all agree on Jesus instituted sacraments. Sola scriptura. Sola fide. All debunked.
I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). We love The Chosen soooooo much! Thank you for your humility to do God’s will. It’s obvious you want to please Him. It doesn’t matter what we think; it only matters what He thinks. Our family can’t wait for season 3. In the meantime we will watch seasons 1 and 2 for the hundredth time. ❤️
Peggy, is this a series? Where can we see it? Thank you!
@@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054 yes it’s a series. They have produced 2 seasons so far. The way we watch it is do download The Chosen app and cast it to our TV. The app is free.
Repent and believe in the true Gospel
Thank you Peggy. I too am a member but, was just praying to be closer to Jesus. Thank you.
@@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054 you are welcome. 💕 The Chosen is definitely a good way to do that.
My wife and I have been so grateful for the love of Jesus Christ that The Chosen brings into our home! As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this show has emphasized to me that we as Christians are united in our love for the Savior. At this time when the message of the good news is SO needed across the world, I want to add my voice to those calling for unity, kindness, and respect. A house divided against itself cannot stand, AND the world knows of our dicipleship, as Christ said, by our love one for another. Thank you The Chosen for being an ambassador for faith!
Mormons teach a similar but different doctrine called the God Head.
Christians don't believe in modern day prophets.
Mormons teach that their president of the Church is a prophet.
Christians teach that Mary the mother of Jesus was a virgin her whole life.
Mormons have no such doctrine.
Christians believe that the Eucharist is the literal body and blood of Jesus.
Mormons think that it just represents his body and blood.
Mormons believe that you become an angel when you die.
Christians don't.
Mormons believe in three levels of Heaven.
Christians teach there's just one.
Christians believe that God is the creator of the universe.
Mormons believe that God used to be a human, and was elevated to godhood after he died.
Mormons believe that men can become gods after they die. This is called exaltation.
Christians view this as a heresy.
Mormons believe that God has a physical body that you could touch just like a human.
Christians believe that God is a spirit.
Mormons believe that there are other gods, but they don't worship them.
Christians believe in one god.
Mormons reject Song of Solomon as divinely inspired scripture, but they still keep it in the Bible.
Christians believe all the books of the Old Testament are divinely inspired.
Christians believe the Deuterocanonical Books are divinely scripture. (Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom, Sirach, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees)
Mormons don't.
@@adspie after living all over the world and around many different believers, I have learned that Russian Orthodox Christians have icons, Pentacostals are adament about the importance of gifts of the spirit, Catholics have a special place for mother Mary and do baptism by sprinkling, while Baptists have specific beliefs about the mode and importance of baptism and these are just a few of the differences. I have met many wonderful Christians who love Christ, many people who believe in the Bible as the word of God, and many people who let the love of Jesus Christ direct their life. And, as I talked with these wonderful Christians, I have learned they often disagree with each other about matters of doctrine. HOWEVER, the thing that Christ-ians have in common is there unity in loving and trying to serve Jesus Christ. I would simply re-emphasize that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a strong belief in Jesus Christ and He is at the center of everything we believe. Again, it was Christ who said a house divided cannot stand and I simply repeat my call for Christians to stand united in bearing testimony of Christ to the world. Finally, I have chosen to avoid contention or disagreement because arguing over a belief in Christ, especially during this Christmas season, which seems out of place, but I would appreciate it if you would review some of the things you have said I believe in. :) Thanks and wishing you a Merry Christmas!
I am constantly amazed at the only group of people on the planet that have had a living example of their GOD come to earth for the sole purpose of forgiving them, are also the most intolerant and judgmental people around. I don't care if Dallas is an ex jihadi muslim and a practicing buddhist. The story he's telling is perfection, scriptural and I love it. Don't change a thing.

" I only seek approval from one person......God. And sometimes my wife." Now that's a man of God!!!
I too am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My family and I love your show. We don’t care who works on it, we care that it brings a spirit of love in our home! Thank you for making this show!
Why do you call God a mere saint?
My husband has used your show and devotional in his life group, ministering to teen boys - it has been so powerful, and such a helpful "tool" to grab their attention each week!! We absolutely love The Chosen!
I'm LDS (Mormon). I don't care if it's multiple religions working on it. It brings us all together. It is incredible and I've been raving about it too so many people and so many have watched it! :D I watched while I was recovering from knee surgery and it really lifted me up spiritually.
A M E N
It brings us all together how? I only ask this because this show doesn't change the fact that The Book of Mormon makes a different truth claim than that of the Bible. The Bible says that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The official position that Mormons hold is that Jesus is not actually God, but is only the first creation of God. Either Mormons are right, Christians or right, or neither are right. If you don't believe that the Bible alone is God's completed Word then you are being deceived (by a man who lived in the 1800s and claimed that not only was the Bible incorrectly translated, which is clearly not true, but also that he needed to add to it because he had been given special revelation). The Bible says that salvation is by grace through faith alone. Call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved. I mean no disrespect to you, but I cannot bear to look at comments like yours and pretend it doesn't bother me to see people deceived.
Together? Not according to biblical teaching. Christians are set apart in Christ.
@Darren Calling someone naive & idiotic will not help them find their way. Though no name was stated, it was inferred from comment thread. Please try the truth in love approach, it sure seems a better practice. The original argument is sound & hopefully made out of love for the one making original statement. Just not sure this is the correct forum for theological debates. 1 Cor 9:19-22 (paraphrasing) all things to all people that I might save some. I saw a comment on another youtube channel that really should be a guideline for comments, especially if you claim to be a Christ-follower. "Treat the channel you are on as if you are entering the host's place of residence. Be respectful of their home, their family, & other guests that they've invited to their home." Have we lost that in society? Have we forgotten how to respectfully disagree? Sadly it seems as though we have forgotten how to be courteous to other created beings. We must ask ourselves, "is this statement & my intention pleasing to Christ"?
Jesus said He did not come to bring peace but a sword
I love that this project is bringing us all together, I think people have been skeptical because we love the Savior and want to protect someone so sacred. However It is our love for him that’s bringing us all together. I’ve watched this show with friends and family of different faiths and we’ve bonded over the experience.
Do you realize that the bible tells of a one world religion and is looked at as a bad thing?
The sooner we all know that God aline can defend the sacred, the sooner we can all come back together as a Christian family
No thanks! I am an ex LDS and will tell you truly that light has nothing to do with darkness!
Spoken in wisdom. A rare quality these days. I love it and love the show. My wife, who is Buddhist, loves it as well.
Great explanation Dallas! My wife and I love your series! And we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”
So, if you are NOT born again, will you go to heaven?
@@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921 3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
The Trinity is not something we can agree to disagree on, it's the very heart of the faith. If you do not worship Jesus as God - eternal, uncreated - you do not know Him.
@@tylerpedersen9836 If you are seeking to be contentious, I will cease to further engage with you. The beautiful thing about The Chosen is its ability to unify us in Christ. Obviously, you have not read the Book of Mormon for yourself. If you had, you would have a come across the following passage:
2 “And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son-
3 The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son-
4 And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth.
5 And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people.”
@@tylerpedersen9836 Exodus 23:20-23, Deuteronomy 18:18-19.... Among the many verses in the new testament where Jesus says the Father is greater than the Son and that He (the Son only gets authority from the Father) the Word is God the flesh is not. No one has seen God. God is Spirit and must be worshipped in spirit. God the Father is the only uncreated being. Do not put anything or anyone on His throne. Jesus has a throne next to the Father. And please, before you quote Jesus saying He is the I Am please read the two verses I wrote at the beginning to understand how that works. May Yah bless you.
Hey Dallas! I'm Pentecostal and LOVE the show! I also love that there may be non-believers working on the show because they may start to believe and Jesus can reach them through something like this! Great leadership! Thanks for what you do.
We are Pentecostal as well and thought the same thing! I always say God can use whomever he ‘chooses’. Blessings 😊
The pentecostal church is wrong Pentecostal
Is not biblical im sorry im telling the truth .
@@jcruise6455 Hey J Cruise, Pentecost is not a religion... it's an experience that happened in the book of acts... Chapter 2 is a good place to start if you want to read about it... and it did happen and is biblical. Just check it out. Hope this helps!
@@BMO_Creative and why you call yourself as a pentecostal ? What is the pentecostal church? Is that religion right. And theres no biblical and the pentecostal . Our Lord Jesus Christ is teaching the true church in the bible we must follow the Doctrines of Christ. I read it for you, not pentecostal . Read in the book of acts.
Acts. 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Is that clear . Our Lord Jesus Christ is purchased he’s own blood the Church is the Church Of God. Not pentescostal Church
@@jcruise6455 Pentecostal is a denomination within Christianity that adheres to the belief in what happened on the day of Pentecost is still happening. I grew up in a church that adhered to that view and still attend churches that belief that. It's not a separate religion, stop trying to stir up division where there need be none.
Won’t it be interesting if when He returns, we learn that everything is really about Him and not our singular faith traditions? Bravo to The Chosen and crew for answering the call to focus on teaching the world about the one came to save us all, regardless of our traditions.
@Laureen Mwangi Don't we all who worship Jesus, worship the same Jesus? It is our faith traditions that separate us, but He is unchanging.
@@leahtorres8638 no, cuz some call Jesus "Christ Jesus, Son of God" and some call Jesus "our spirit brother" and some call Jesus "a great prophet". only one of those Jesus-es is worthy of worship.
@@lucypevensie6284 I’d disagree. All of those titles are true. Just like I’m a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend and a confidant. None of those are disrespecting of me and I believe the Savior would be proud of all of His names and titles. He IS and will always be the Son of God, worthy of worship, but He is all the rest as well.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I love this show. I'd read the Bible before, and I enjoyed it before, but that enjoyment increases when I watch The Chosen. The Book of Mormon states that anything that draws people closer to Jesus Christ is of God. Even though I'm certain not everything happened exactly as portrayed in the show, The Chosen has without a doubt been bringing people closer to our Savior Jesus Christ and that is something that this world is in desperate need of. We don't need the bickering, we need the love of Christ. I fully believe that this show is inspired.
Well done, Dallas. I welcome the challenge of researching “How did they know that?” questions that this show raises. If our faith cannot stand questions and growth, it is merely religion. 💙 People must know‼️
"Come And See"
If you can’t recognize the goodness in this show, then you’re probably standing too closely to your religion (religion-not faith). Maybe I’m oversimplifying this, but if we look at the core of our faith, aren’t we all just trying to bring ourselves and others closer to Christ? This show has definitely done that with so many (just read the comments), including my own family. What amazes me is not just that the show has already done that much, but that, in a way, it’s uniting Jesus’s believers throughout the world who come from so many different religious backgrounds. This is groundbreaking.
Praying for you and your crew, Dallas. 🙏🏽❤️
elwin, you nailed it. The “I’m right and you’re wrong” isn’t doing anyone any favors. Shalom Aleichem Happy Advent. Merry Christ Mass
@@Rileyed you’re forgetting the truth in the Bible of Jesus praying in Gethsemane. Jesus praying all throughout the New Testament. He was the God/Man who showed more humanity than divinity until after the Resurrection.
@@Rileyed He prayed in the garden because He was scared out of His wits and they were asleep. You should go to the conversations with scholars and understand you need to re read the pertinent scriptures. You’re going on what you’ve been fed. The greatest arguments against the divinity hinge on the way people read what He said. He was nothing without the Father thru the power and agency of the Holy Spirit. You finished your comment with the most correct thing when you stated He was the best “man” who ever lived. James didn’t know Him correctly, as the God/Man, until after the Resurrection. I would highly recommend you go to the extras and listen to the scholars and open your mind. This is hardly the first time I’ve seen/heard that He was more man than pure God. I love what Bishop Barron had to say. Shalom Aleichem and please understand that you are my brother whether we see eye to eye on everything. The garden to me was where He showed His humanity most of all. And when He got His answer or no answer, He set His course for the cross.
@@Rileyed Matthew called Levi was a tax collector. Luke was the physician. What Bible are you reading? Jesus was scared of what was to come. Yes, separation from the Father was part, maybe the most of it. You’re making numerous mistakes here. The apostles were sleeping. Luke was the Dr. and from all we read, it appears Jesus was needing the Fathers’ counsel, leading, thru the power and agency of the Holy Spirit. Broken heart as in failed heart? Yes? A broken heart as in a lovers’ heart? No. Shalom means peace….and more.
@@Rileyed the show is a show and you’re allowed to see it anyway you choose. I have had my faith restored and am in the Word every day of my life. Their Christmas special was beautiful and about as close as we’re going to get to being there. As for other aspects, you can disagree, you can look away or not look at all. I see the human side of Christ being portrayed. The Bible said He left the wealth of heaven to be made poor for our sakes. The only unforgivable sin is to not think it is all about Him and please forgive me if I have been less than charitable with our exchange. Happy Advent of the King who was born a pauper. (When I say restored, I mean the Holy Spirit came back to life in me, Christmas season 2000 and it is a long story but praise God I heard Him calling)
I really believe that The Chosen is a great example of what can happen when denominational barriers don't exist.
Thank you, Dallas, and all the cast, donors and crew who have helped to make this amazing video series a reality!
God bless you all and keep you as you continue on!
🤦♂️ we do not have fellowship with darkness.
@@DefenderoftheCross I'm speaking of denominations within Christianity. Nothing unholy. I suppose that barriers within the body of Christ would be part of the darkness for sure. Because all who are in Christ are one, just as Jesus prayed.
Love heals those wounds. The Chosen is truly a labor of love. Really great work.
@@GoTellJesusSaves 1st Corinthians 11:18-19 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. Those who are genuine will hold to the writing of the scriptures, and not to sentimentalism.
@@425346217 Excellent scripture to drive in the point. Factions, divisions and denominations only highlight people's problems, not unify people in love.
The Chosen is doing just the opposite. Choosing to unify in love and in purpose. So good!
@@GoTellJesusSaves Unity should not come at the cost of truth though. The problem is not so much who is working on The Chosen but some of the narrative that is being represented as truth, like the apostles being alcoholics and adulterers for example. I noticed none of those issues were addressed in this video.
I am a member of the LDS church and I love this message Dallas! I could care less what religion anyone is! Jesus loved and taught us to love one another. If we are missing the first two commandments. Love God and Love your neighbor then we are not living our religion! Lets stop seeing how we disagree and start seeing how we agree. Contention and hate come from satan. God spoke of love and kindness. Thank you so much for all of your sacrifices and effort into this project. We love the Chosen!
Why do you call God a mere saint?
Dallas you made excellent points The body of Christ still needs to learn how to walk in love and NOT condemnation
This should be the top comment. The Chosen is such a great opportunity for all followers of Jesus Christ to put aside differences. Dallas is showing us by word and deed how to do it.
All excellent: actors, scenes, costumes, lines, settings…I lived and worked in the Holy Land for over 80 days! Perfect show. Thank you all…Peace Be With You. Move forward, God is moving you Dallas from all the negative. Yes, love ❤️ Jesus.
"Judge the _content_ ." EXACTLY.
The Chosen is a masterpiece. And I'm tired of Pharisees seeking to trash it.
I'm tired of 'fans' labeling as evil those Christians who choose to not 'follow' this TV series
@@BetterIdeas. Don't misinterpret what I'm saying.
I have nothing against people who personally don't want to see the show.
My issue is those who are CONDEMNING the show. Branding it sinful, etc.
@@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment Many Christians have what we consider to be sound biblical reasons to not follow this show. Some keep these reservations to themselves, while others choose to publicly state their objections. People are free to react as they may--positive, neutral, negative--silent or vocal.
Condemnation, even within one's heart, of honest efforts by the well-intentioned people involved in making this show is contrary to Jesus' teachings. However, some public posts by "The Chosen" social media team (including Dallas) I find anti-biblical. (Halloween, tattoos, public shaming of critics) I would be more comfortable with the show if each and every episode began with a personal statement by Dallas "This show is not replacement for scripture, we urge you to study the bible daily".
Hear! Hear!
@@BetterIdeas. Then keep on studying your Bible daily, submitting to Jesus daily, praying daily, and obeying Him daily and you will be just fine no matter what Dallas or anyone else does. We each will give an account face to face with Jesus about what we did with our lives after He chose and saved us and not with each other. If you and other Christians have sound reasons for not following Dallas and The Chosen, the please feel free to stop following him and it on any platform or posting. It's your choice. I had an issue with one of the episodes and was going to quit watching completely. However, I took it to my Lord in prayer and He corrected me. Dealt with my own heart and attitude. He does discipline/correct those whom He loves -- at least that's what Hebrews says. He will even scourge us if necessary according to Hebrews. I'm sure He is quite capable of doing that with any of His born again children.
My husband & I love the Chosen. It causes us to go to the scripture and learn more. It's so touching, moving and a great tool in witnessing. It's the best representation of bible story movies we have ever seen in our lifetime as disciples of Jesus.
I have honestly been waiting years for someone to take creative inspiration with gaps of time in the new testament. I don't think it could have been done better. Also when you guys actually get to parts that are scripture it's pretty on point. Absolutely love the work.
So true, and I love that about the show...sticking to the scripture.
I pay it forward because the show touched my heart. I am not a member of any church I just read my Bible. I am not a member of any church because they differ so much. Thank You for the Chosen.
D J - And God and His Son Love You so much!!!!
And We all love you too!!
Merry Christmas !!
God Bless you and yours !
I'm not religious at all, and I LOVE The Chosen.
Update on 19/12/21: In response to some comments below, I'm not an atheist, as I do not reject the possibility that God exists. In fact, I am a very spiritual person. I just don't know which, if any or if all religions are correct. I am open to the possibility that some or all of the Bible stories are true, but I don't think stories written in a thousands of years old book is irrefutable evidence of their veracity. So, I'm not religious. We are One World (One Cosmos even) and I see the wisdom in 'Love One Another' (John 13:34). I disagree that there is something wrong with a Christian show reaching a much wider audience. Rather, there is something very RIGHT about a spiritual based show that has the underlying message of love and kindness towards one another which reaches and moves everyone, and not just a select few who adhere to one particular interpretation of the Bible.
Pagan here. I also love The Chosen and am not seeking conversion
Well welcome, peeps!
@@starlegends3092 Thank you very much!
@@pagandeva2000 How did you come to paganism?
@@BlueEagle-yk6dg hello, thanks for asking. As a child, I never saw the Bible as an accurate source of history or of God’s word, and as I grew up and read more, such as the Apocrypha, pseudiopigraphia, Dead Sea Scrolls, and such, I doubled down on that feeling. Funny enough, I always believed that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, but I also placed the Virgin Mary in power. I feel that paganism better represented my beliefs, especially because of the empowerment of women. On a personal level, I have never worshipped the gods and goddesses that many pagans do. I believe in One Source that designated charge energies over various things such as water, plants, air, etc….
I do not judge anyone for any belief (or lack of). I try to understand how people come to their personal conclusions, but I don’t believe in talking people out of anything.
Religion, to me is man made and can be subject to that man’s interests and intentions, which appears to be why there are so many divisions now in ALL of them…Christianity, Judaism, Muslim, Paganism and otherwise. So, I follow no one spiritually, I do what works for me.
Dallas, I can speak for my family and we love The Chosen. It has brought our family together in the living room and drawn the interest of my teenagers (that's a big deal). God Speed your efforts and may you and yours continues to be blessed. And more importantly, may the love of our Savior Jesus Christ enters into the soul of every child of God that sees your show and that they will declare from the 4 corners of the earth that Jesus is the Christ.
So much hard work, dedication and prayer have gone into the making of each episode. Chosen is such a beautiful show. God is with you Dallas, nothing can harm your team’s work.
Hallelujah. I love that the Chosen is getting people excited to read scripture. Praise the Lord! This is a wonderful show ❤️🕊
Oh, how the enemy loves to attack anything God is doing! All the harassment tells me the enemy would like to thwart the reality that "people must know"....keep up the good work! Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Word made flesh!! All people need to Jesus, the Christ....our Redeemer and Savior of the world!
I too am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we LOVE The Chosen!!! We have spent hundreds of dollars sharing it with others and supporting its content. Thank you Dallas and team for your vision!!
Shame on those who call themselves Christians who are bickering amongst themselves that required Dallas to make this video! Can’t we just agree to disagree and love Jesus and each other. How would Jesus feel about these comments below. Doesn’t He just want us to Love One Another and let Him take care of Judgement Day!
Let’s just get along so we can get The Chosen Message out to as many people as we can in a world desperate for it’s healing effects. This contention is of the devil because he is trying to stop this work from going forward. We can’t let him win! Love God-Love Each Other it is as simple as that!
@Mimi M here is what LDS creed is. What specific points in it do you disagree with?
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
@Mimi M
True followers of Christ follow him and not lead him down self righteous puritanical paths. I choose Christ. You choose secularism apparently since you reject God is almighty and can do anything he pleases with his own world. God calls you a fool.
Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?
7 Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?
8 Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.
@Mimi M Please stop lying and slandering. Such perversion of LDS theology really is cheap. Makes me feel that you cannot read or study for yourself. So sorry about your illiteracy. Really. Must be hard to rely on CNN-like entities who are lying to you about LDS theology. I have given you scripture yet you reject truth.
None of your points are accurate in that oooppps we conveniently left out details… polygamy is not an issue. Martin Luther was compared to Joseph Smith on this by Catholic writers. Luther who is the founder of protestantism had no problem letting people marry multiple wives. He also approved of sexual freedom.
Polygamy is not sinful if God permits. King David the psalmist was a polygamist. Do you reject his psalms? How about Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whom God permitted to have multiple wives… well we need to excise those scriptures too. How about gutting all but the four gospels which Luther really wanted.
And then what about slavery? Joseph Smith was anti slavery. Protestants were pro slavery. Seems that is a perversion. And protestants ok’d the slaughter of millions of Jews. Another sickness Luther’s own anti semitism played out. So, honey, you Protestants who destroyed Christian unity in Europe. Guilty of genocide. Guilty of persecution ie murder rape confiscation of 19th century LDS have a lot of repentance and explaining to do. And you fret about trifles that have nothing to do with salvation nor complete truth because such involve more than jamming to rock tunes at church service? Those who have more light and knowledge need not apologize to those with less truth.
@Mimi M No. Honest. Unlike you.
