- Have you heard some things or seen some headlines that confused or even bothered you? Did I say “Mormons are Christians,” or “we love the same Jesus?” There's been a lot out there recently: some of it true, most of it false; or at best, willfully out of context. I address it for the final time.

Hi Dallas. I’m an Australian Lutheran Pastor and we are about to show The Chosen to a group of young men who have drug and alcohol and mental health issues. They are also semi-literate and struggle with reading the bible. These guys have no idea of history, context and never heard of Jesus. I can see Christ in your wonderful, quality work. Good work, thank you and God bless you and keep you.
You can show them the Gospel of Jhon, the Gospel of Matthew ad the book of acts is 100% the BIBLE word by word is free on CZcams, it will not be wise to show new born christians or unbeivers a show like the chosen that is not Biblical it will only confuse them. What they need is to TRUTH. You will not the Truth and the truth will set you free
@@raulmartinez429 With all due respect, the Chosen is actually the perfect launching point for discussing the Gospels; nothing about this series muddies the truth.
@@raulmartinez429 Every Christian parent I know who has young children has introduced their children to Jesus through children's picture Bibles and cartoon movies and flannel graph stories. No, these are not straight scripture, but they are stepping stones to understanding the full truth of the Bible.
Joseph Smith was one that Jesus was warning his children about. He was a false profit.. You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free
We are without a doubt living in the last generation that Jesus foretold before he returns and raptures his bride out. Bickering is exatuslly5
@@stephanieh.777 No it's not because it's pure imagination shown on screen
Dearest Dallas, "The Chosen may be the only Bible some humans are exposed to." I referred The Chosen to a fine gentleman who just didn't read the Bible. After watching The Chosen his love for Jesus was sparked and he is now attending weekly church Services! Keep up the great job! The Chosen is so awesome as are you, the cast, and the entire team! 👍❤️
I agree. I love the Chosen. Your work is amazing. God Bless you. Thank you for your beautiful show. 🙏🏻♥️
wow that is just awesome!
yes puts it into a realm over everyday life. Even modern langueage he shoves in the scripts now an the. I love this movie!
“A false Gospel is the the only Bible they will be exposed to?”
What a shame. Cant these people read?
You've, obviously, not read the Bible.
The chosen is a blasphemous piece of junk.
I am not part of the LDS church. I was raised as a Catholic. It doesn't matter to me who you had working on the show. The end result is something that is uniting people in a common way. Your portrayal of these real people is commendable. I appreciate the very human way each character has been shown
Wrong. Everything works together for Gods perfect plan but that doesn't mean that the event itself is good. The show could be nonbiblical and God would still find a way to use it.
@Accept Jesus as your savior I respect your ability to have your own perspective, and thoughts on the show, and this discussion thread. And you can still feel that I am wrong. But I stand by my comments. I still feel that this show is bringing people together: cast, crew, fans- non believers, and believers in such a way that they feel passionate enough to add their voice to the dialogue. And this is my point. And this is where I feel the differing factions of Christianity get it wrong. They are too busy admonishing each other, with their "we're the only ones who matter" attitudes. If you follow his example, then you would also embrace his wanting humanity to understand this. We are all human, nobody is better than anyone else. We all need to come together, and stop dividing ourselves.
@@KennyD-bi3ec I completely agree with you. Absolutely love what you said about factions being too busy admonishing each other, well said.
One counterfeit church uniting with another counterfeit church is only exacerbating the deceptions of the myriad of denominations that make up the false counterfeit church system in the ecumenical movement. This is Satan's Babylon.
@@KennyD-bi3ec Here is the problem , Everyone is getting the wrong Idea of The Bible ,and of God and of Jesus. lds in no way have the same God or Jesus that is in The Bible or the chosen. The chosen teaches that God has always been God The Father and that Jesus is The only begotten Son of God. But none of these lds that are posting are posting are being honest or they just simply don't know what their church doctrines are. Because lets be honest the lds church believes and teaches in its doctrines the their god was first a man a human being and that he had many wives here on earth and he had sex with one of them who then gave birth to a son and called him jesus, and then their god had sex again and gave birth to another son and his name is lucifer. So lets be very clear about this The True Bible does not teach what lds teach and that show that you lds keep praising as well as praising the chosen creator Dallas Jenkins teaches what he teaches is the exact opposite of what you believe so why don't some of you lds stop being afraid to say what your church doctrine teaches don't be afraid to tell these ignorant Christians what you are keeping from them. At least other cults are not ashamed of their god and are at least honest in what they believe.
I'm a member of the LDS Church, and I've been binge watching The Chosen over the last few weeks. I can't adequately put into words how deeply this show affects me. I cry every episode multiple times. Thank you so much for making this series, for bringing the gospels to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. Every character is so well written and likeable! Even some if the "bad guys" are given realistic and complex personalities that make them feel authentic. Because I have an autistic son, I especially love the character of Matthew, and I just want to hug him!
Of course, Jesus himself is portrayed as everything one could want in the Savior who patiently loves his followers, and who teaches them with both wisdom and humor! I don't know if I could be comfortable in the presence of God if he wasn't a little bit of a tease.
This show is groundbreaking. Thank you!
Gee im catholic n we agree! lol im just joking.. but yes! what a moving show. I so love it. just found it, binge watching here also love it. Im not to worried God is gonna ask me at gates if im Catholic, LDS, Baptist, or what ever.. I mean come on people! LOL ok God Bless!
Hey I’m a born and raised Mormon and this is my absolute favorite show! It have revamped or reignited the fire and love I have for Jesus and our Heavenly Father! Also got me more tuned in with the Holy Ghost. Many episodes have broke me to where I needed to just pause and sit and let it out, alone. I don’t care what others believe in, I love everyone and will support everyone. I love your comment and couldn’t agree more. :) ❤
Mathew cracks me up! I like his "ocd"
Prayers for your son.
However, I must would be remiss if I did not warn you that Christ built His Church on St Peter (St Matthew 16:18), not Joseph Smith Jr.
Do not follow a false church created by man over eighteen hundred years after Christ's earthly ministry.
@@batmaninc2793 read the verses again. Jesus was using a play on words with Peter's name, but the "rock" upon which his church would be built was Revelation, not any man, Joseph Smith Jr. or Peter. God knows how fallible man is, which is why we are to go straight to the Source.
Hey, Dallas 🌸 Hope you're not being harassed. I represent the silent multitudes who feel you have been abundantly clear and transparent on this issue. Appreciate you and praying for you.
May the Lord God, bless, protect and keep everyone involved well, in Jesus's Name Amen
Dallas, you are always going to have someone who is gonna stir the water backwards! Don't let it bother you! It lets you know you are on the right track!
We Love everything you are doing, changing lives!!!
Lots of love from Baton Rouge,. La. !!!!!
🌺🌺🌺Yes Dallas, here, here is another one of the silent multitudes who support you and I'm forever grateful for the Jesus, my Jesus, our Lord Jesus, that you are giving us this life-giving portrayal of. Thank you again.🌱🌱🌱 Cristina in Texas
I never heard what Dallas said, which he is clarifying here, but I was raised in the LDS church and I was taught things about Jesus that simply aren't true. I love his analogy about spotting counterfeit bills. I'm focused on getting to know our authentic Lord.
I agree with these comments and Dallas I am praying for you and all involved with the chosen. Keep up the good work
My opinion, as a Priest coming from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, is that the central problem is our attempt to evaluate anything concerning others. We are to examine ourselves in light of the truth of Jesus Christ as revealed to us. It is a mirror that allows us to see ourselves. It is not helpful as Christians for us to evaluate anyone other than ourselves. Leave the rest to God.
So if you accept LDS as Christians, who deny the divinity of Christ (Jesus is a god not God Almighty, and a spirit child of the Father), then do we open our arms to Muslims as our brothers in the faith also (since they view Jesus as the Messiah)? It IS important to know who are your brethren, who are a part of the body of believers, and those who are wolves in sheeps clothing. What would you say?
Beautifully said!!
Amen
@@dr.j5642 No. LDS shares more with Orthodoxy than Protestants share with orthodoxy. Makes Protestants the outsiders. LDS share the theology of divination or people can become holy. Share the bible should be worshipped rather the teachings of Jesus and to others contain truth. That the Son came from the Father. That the eucharist must be done as per Jesus. Baptism is required. Keeping the commandments. That priesthood was ordained by Jesus to the apostles and down the line. You cannot preach except you have been anointed. The church Jesus founded had a hierarchy. Not someone setting up a new church on every church block.
Well said, thank you for your comment!
Dallas, words matter but actions speak louder than words. One only has to watch The Chosen to understand what is in your heart. Sholom

@@DefenderoftheCross and that emoji shows a side of you that is lacking in grace, I have read the wicked hatred you are spreading about Dallas, the very things you are saying reflects your own heart, so stop judging Dallas’s heart, only God can do that, and you are not omniscient.
Dallas, you really don’t have to explain to anyone what you did or didn’t say, Jesus is your Lord and only to him are you answerable.
I have seen some of the ungracious comments that some have posted, and all they are doing is reflecting what is in their own hearts, these are the Christian police as I like to call them, if you don’t cross their T’s and dot their I’s, they get all legalistic because they think they hold all the keys to the kingdom, simply they don’t, just pray for them that the Lord would give them a revelation of Himself that would rid them of their legalistic hearts. 🙏🙏

1. We are called to judge false teachers by their fruits. Matthew 7:15-20; Romans 16:17-18; Ephesians 5:11; Titus 1:9; Jude 3-4. Why aren't you judging like we are commanded to do?
2. Pointing out how a false teacher is poisoning the Church and preaching a false gospel is the loving thing to do. Trying to shut up those who are pointing out error is hateful.
3. I am not judging Dallas Jenkins's heart. I am judging his bad theology and his bad works. So, your accusation is a strawman fallacy.
4. One doesn't have to be omniscient to see that Dallas Jenkins's theology is terrible. One just has to be biblically literate.
I am an active LDS member. My husband and I absolutely love The Chosen. I have not heard any of those comments that Dallas is defending or commenting about. We love the same Jesus Christ and all of the characters in the Chosen. It is unfortunate that people from all denominations just live one another because of our differences. We are looking forward to the 4th season and we appreciate all the work that has been put into making it available for the world to enjoy. ❤
No. You are in a sect and do not follow JESUSCHRIST!!!
1 Timothy 2:5, for there is one God and one mediator between God and Men, the man Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 44:6, thus says the Lord, the king of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first and the last. And there is no God besides me. Isaiah 37:16: oh lord of hosts, the god of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim. You are the god, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the Earth. You have made heaven and earth.
LDS here, and love the Chosen. Thank you so much for bringing this beautiful story of Jesus Christ to the world.
Very few non LDS movies or videos are talked about during LDS church services but "The Chosen" has been referenced in talks and lessons over and over. I've been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for almost 46 years now and I cannot begin to express how much your work has uplifted me and brought me closer to and strengthened my testimony of the Savior. Thank you for all you're doing to bring light to this darkened world.
Leslie McM. *** God bless you. Jesus loves us all and I'm grateful to our God for "The Chosen".
“The show is not a replacement for scripture.” ❤️ I’m glad to hear you say this, because many people are putting the show in that place (not your fault). Thanks for the show, pointing people to Jesus, the word, and the local church.
Jack it is also in the first season prior to the opening scene.
For what it's worth, Jack, Dallas has said that since the beginning. In fact, I think the "Binge Jesus" slogan doesn't mean "The Chosen"; it means "Open your Bible and get into the Word."
Yeah people just don't understand.
Sad news for Dallas , people especially Christians will continue to criticize the chosen in a bad way no matter how much he explains why it isn't a replacement for scripture.
Because people just don't listen,so it is what it is i guess .The chosen creators should just carry on and ignore the negative reviews unless they actually do something wrong.
Actually, it's entirely his fault. Proverbs 30:6 is quite clear: "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." I've just found out about this show, yet even a little research has revealed that he's added numerous incidents of his own invention to the Gospel accounts. He's put words into Jesus' mouth that we have absolutely no record of Jesus ever saying. And why? To rake in millions of dollars in funding and further his own filmmaking interests? Call me crazy, but I've found the records we have to be sufficient. Not only do I feel it's unnecessary to bloat them with scenarios of my own imagining, but I'd be afraid to do so.
Yes, there have been scenes created around Scripture, however the scenes as created are well within the realms of probably.
As you may be aware, the scripts are reviewed by a panel consisting of a Catholic theologian, an evangelical theologian, and a Messianic Jewish Rabbi. They agree that the scenarios are within the context of the time, and well may have happened in much the same way.
In all cases, the creators are upfront with the fact that they are not replacing Scripture, and would expect that the viewers would take the time to delve deeper into the Word.
In as much as the Passion of the Christ movie used the 'visions' of a Catholic nun to fill in some of the blanks, so is Dallas trying to make the Jesus of Scripture more accessible to those seeking a personal relationship with the Savior.
As an LDS , people may label me, judge me, condemn me, but one thing is very clear. I love the work you do, I love Jesus Christ and that being said. No one can take away the Heartfelt love my spirit feels when I watch the Chosen and apply it to my own personal love of Jesus Christ. Thank you!! Each person has their own relationship with the Savior. I judge no one. I’m just grateful for my own experience of which YOU are a huge part.
@Jason No one knows. Does it matter?
@@scottm4975 it’s not biblical
@Jason, there's a difference between a god and God. We don't worship gods. We worship God.
Whether it’s not biblical or biblical what I learnt the most in the LDS Church is to have faith in God, to forgive and repent and that’s enough for me and the Chosen just makes the cherry on top..I’m a Child of God and that’s what matters I don’t spend time on things that don’t matter it’s a waste of time God Loves us all whether He is God or a God I don’t care He answers all our prayers and I have found Him by seeking Him diligently through the scriptures and I feel closer to Him
Which Jesus do you love? The Jesus of the Holy Bible or the Jesus of the Book of Mormon? They are not the same person.
I am not LDS, but even if this show was produced by LDS believers, I would still watch it. The care taken with the word and the production value merit everyone’s time to view the show.
@@TheRealRenn
Yes, go on, and for each grievance, give the episode and time stamp.
How about Jesus rehearsing the surmount on the mount... I can't wrap my mind around that one. Jesus IS the Word. He was in the beginning with God and he is God. Why would he need to rehearse?
@Renn So don't watch it. Apparently, you want a word for word rendition and not a dramatization. Even if you sit and read just whatever version of scripture you think is right, you are going to play it in your mind with whatever nit-picking colored glasses you are wearing. And you will ASSume you are right, of course. A little self righteous, don't you think. HUM, no wonder Jesus didn't like Pharisees.
@@dukeellington1987 I thought of that too but think of it this way - think of what an experience that was for Matthew. There were countless things that Jesus didn't need to do. But He did them for us, so we could see and learn. I can imagine Him rehearsing so that Matthew would have a chance to write it all down, so he could have an intimate experience in understanding how the Master's mind worked. Could this not have happened as one of the many ways Jesus did things specifically to involve men and women in His work?
I am afraid i wouldn’t. Like a great many hymns, the LDS changes enough things to tweak Christianity to fit their version. Mormonism is not Christian.
I am LDS and love The Chosen. Everything it is. Not only the content, actors, staff, etc but also that it's being distributed around the world at no cost to viewers to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a time when so many are turning to other things trying to find happiness & fulfillment. So grateful for Dallas's attitude and view on different religions and the Bible. Thanks for clarifying and not throwing LDS people in general under the bus as so many are quick to do. I love the level of respect for different points of view while holding solid to the Gospel foundation. I will continue to donate to the production & distribution to help further the work
““You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.”
Isaiah 43:10 NIV
Please stop worrying what the critics have to say ! So many people are looking for some supposed inaccuracies in your series The Chosen!!! Very few critics are experts on the Bible or understand context in Biblical History!
@@TheRealRenn I'm not going to argue with you over events that happened 2000 yrs ago and you were not a witness to ? Believe what you want. You could be right with your criticism and you might be wrong? Try thinking before you speak.
@@TheRealRenn I don't argue with know it alls
So ridiculous! Let it go...Proverbs 12:15-25 Foolish people always think they are right. Wise people listen to advice. When a fool is annoyed, he quickly lets it be known.
Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify all the information being posted about about you and the show. On a more positive note, The Chosen helped bring my husband back to Jesus and for that it will always hold a spot in my heart. Thank you for all you and everyone who works on the show do. Praying for all of you. And can't wait for season three!💓
I love your comment about not knowing someone else's heart and mind. I am Catholic. I have only one good Catholic friend. My other good friends are non-denominational Christians, LDS, Episcopal, or Lutheran. I married a Methodist who went to 16 years of Catholic school. Taking the time to talk to others respectfully has been fruitful for all of us. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing believers.
That’s nice that they’re friendly but I hope you understand they’re not Christian’s. That’s the main concern for everyone
Katherine, I do believe you have the right attitude. Not sure what to say to comments such as given in reply to you above. Except a house divided in this new world will most likely be easier to be taken down by those who are truly 'not Christian'. I believe I would rather have one of your friends covering my back when things go bad.
@@Milkshakeman133 we are Christians, just not creedal Christians
I'm Catholic, but I basically have left the Catholic church because it has been infiltrated by evil, and I know there are good Catholic priests out there (I see some on CZcams), but I don't have any around me. I honestly don't know what church to go to, of any denomination. So I sit at home and practise my faith privately. But there's a lot about being Catholic that I love, such as learning about Mary, learning about the angels etc.
Catholicism has teachings that contradict scripture. Everyone should leave Catholicism, it is not of God.
Thank you, Dallas for consistently role modeling how a true Christian behaves! You are doing God's work in more ways than one. "Tribalism" is indeed the biggest problem in the Christian world. Not the different doctrines, beliefs or interpretations of scripture, but the need to exclude others from the fold because we think our doctrines, beliefs or interpretations are superior and exclusive. If Christians feel a need to "stand against" something, how about standing against the growing tide of evil, apathy and suffering in the world?
Its impossible to believe in a different Jesus than someone else because there is only one and He exists independent of any attempts to define Him. Our job is to follow Him and try to be like Him, not gate-keep who can and cannot be a part of His fold.
Muslims have Jesus in their Quran as a highly respected prophet. Is that the same Jesus of the Bible? Do they believe in the same Jesus we know of from our Holy Bible? Doctrine and theology matter. The first commandment is 'thou shall have no other gods before me and make no graven images'. The number one sin in the heart of all men is to reject God and make a god of their own imagination or become a lower case 'g' god themselves and rule themselves. That's why the first commandment was put their- to distinguish Yaweh from all other gods.
Valea: Beautifully stated.
Whatever we " believe," we must care about how we behave as believers.
Yes, it is "tribalism," at the root of division.
AMEN. let's all stop worrying about group mentality and focus on the main unifying point- Jesus is the Christ. God is love. Share. Live as he did. Love all as He did. The End. Forget titles, give up "ownership" of Christ and go and do his great commission.
Im married to a ex mormon and they don't put Jesus first... so yeah share the true gospel everyone becasue that is evil putting Jesus second 🙄
@@barrewithkiirsten God is love but on His terms and not yours.
The interesting thing is every LDS person I’ve spoken to absolutely LOVE the Chosen. Draw your own conclusions
My conclusion is that this is an example of what happens in Matthew 5:16.
Those trapped in the lies of false churches are also victims of this world that ought to receive the true good news of Jesus. It's quite possible that learning about Jesus through something like the Chosen is what saves them. The show does not hide the fact that Jesus claims to be God.
Christianity is NOT a feeling. It's a relationship.
@@SimpleAmadeus the chosen saves no one
@@einarabelc5 yes a covenant relationship.
I hope you don’t feel the weight of having to say just the right thing every time. What a hard thing to carry. Be encouraged.
Deut13 says the same thing: the prophet that presumes to speak in the Name of God will DIE if he teaches falsehoods.
Such is the reality of one who tackles something as weighty as the person and ministry and mission of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God.
@@MargaretWalkerCellist that is about prophecy, not every word that comes out of their mouths.
He should feel the weight. The message of Jesus is no small thing and must be presented with care and 100% accuracy. The seriousness of the gospel must be felt. Jesus is not trivial.
I find this message to actually be really sincere. I didn't even know it was an issue. Respect for clarifying. Thank you. Also, I always follow the guidance from Matthew 7:16 - "You will know them by their fruits." There is no logical explanation for The Chosen's inspiration than spiritually inspired. You clearly were led to create this show. As an LDS person myself, I never thought anything else, and I have always been taught that this applies to all people even outside the walls of the church. I also understand that our community can sometimes be a bit insular and has created bad blood with other denominations in the past by going around and telling people their faith is wrong or incomplete, and to follow us as the "only 100% true church." I think the church has kind of realized that maybe this 1800s enlightenment preaching style is not great for trying to become a unified body of people under our faith in Christ. I am really happy you posted this because it shows a fair representation of people's faith. I see myself as a Christian, and I 100% believe that you and your team behind this show were divinely inspired to create it, and I think it serves as a great lesson and reminder for LDS people of how God can work through people that are not LDS as well. I actually believe that God purposefully worked through you, as someone who is not part of the LDS community, because this lesson is very important for people in our church. Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU! Everyone I know is so inspired by you.
I am LDS and I love The Chosen. It has changed my life and inspired me to study the scriptures so much more deeply. Thank you for all your work!
Does that include the parts where God mentions He is eternal, not created?
Do you not know that mormonism teaches that God is just a man who came from another planet; where they say he also practiced mormonism? And that Jesus and Satan were both *created* by God and that they are brothers?
The Chosen is a great show. I have felt the Spirit watching it. Don't mind the naysayers, they have their reward.
@@batmaninc2793LDS here. I'm sure that @the210official does understand what you are talking about. Respectfully, your portrayal of our doctrine is so incomplete. If you were to put that question towards any LDS adult they would know what you are talking about, but also roll their eyes at the vast reduction that you are subjecting these beliefs to. Yes, we do hold beliefs somewhat akin to what you describe here. The whole point of this video is that just because someone holds certain beliefs different from yours doesn't mean that they as a whole believe in a different god than you or hold wildly different values from you. What you've said is similar to me saying "Did you know that Catholics believe that the sacrament is LITERALLY the body of Christ?" Or "Did you know that evangelicals believe that the trinity is LITERALLY one being?" there is no substance in these statements at all, they are just lazy attacks at someone's beliefs. Nobody is getting convinced by something like that, you are actually just hardening hearts. If you actually want to understand someone's beliefs, to know if something is true or false, maybe start with study and prayer. If after you have done those things you still can't wrap your mind around someone's beliefs, just leave it at that. I'm personally so tired of these internet theologists trying to attack each other with literally the worst / laziest / frustrating arguments of all time.
@@nathantagg2691 Roman Catholic here. You might remember us from such instances as the time we were founded by Jesus Christ (circa A.D. 30) and when we provided the canon of Sacred Scripture in A.D. 382 at the Council of Rome under Pope Damasus I.
The problem with your post is that these words and teachings you're claiming to be false come from none other than Joseph Smith Jr. himself.
Whom Joseph Fielding Smith also adds that Jr. was given the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven by Christ, in "Doctrine of Salvation", and anyone who doesn't believe that goes to Hell.
Which ultimately ends up calling Christ a liar since He said the Church built on St. Simon-whose name Christ changed to the Aramaic "Kepha" (Rock; see St. John 1:42)-is what Jesus calls "My Church" and says, "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it".
It is because Mormonism teaches that neither the Father, nor the Son, nor the Holy Ghost are eternal, but created beings, that Mormons can not be called "Christian" by definition.
Edit: Also,
"Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life; and I shall raise him on the last day."
(St. John 6:53-54)
As a Latter-day Saint who gets TIRED of being told what I believe or what I don’t, I really appreciate what you’ve just said, Dallas. I think we could all use a little more context and nuance before labeling someone as “bad” or “good”, and I think your show has the power (and is already doing it) to bring so many people of different and even opposing creeds, doctrines, etc, closer together to the REAL Lord Jesus Christ.
I understand the extremely difficult situation you must be in, because you can’t favor the Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic, or Latter-day Saint viewpoint over another, and you have to get Jewish tradition and history correct on top of it. Thank you for being fearless and listening to God and the Holy Spirit as you create this wonderful material that will bring us all together, and nor so far apart!
Was Jesus a created being?
@@definit1on119 well, I suppose His body was created, just like yours. His spirit is eternal, with no beginning and no end. So as Joseph Smith taught is uncreated.
I know there are people out there that do not like us and have borne false witness against us. And it is frustrating as a member of the LDS faith. But people seem to like to believe the satirized version on our beliefs rather than the real ones.
If he doesn’t favor historic Christianity (including Protestant, Catholic) over LDS then that is a huge red flag. LDS are not christians.
@@definit1on119 NO! Or He could not have PAID FOR the WHOLE WORLD of humanity that He CREATED. He could only have paid for 1 other human being. God the Father PAYS HIS OWN BILLS and unlike the United States (that prints money up when it needs to pay its bills with money it doesn't have backed up with GOLD), GOD doesn't "print up a Savior" to pay His liabilities that the breaking of His Law creates: sin IS the breaking of the Law, I Jn.3:4. God pays for His OWN ASSETS AND LIABILITIES in the "business of Being God!"
@@arminius504 Correct: LDS are sunday-keepers, and have idols and that Book of Mormon that God warned about ("adding to" His Word - like God's Apostles weren't good enough to canonize Scripture - they failed: WRONG!).
Dallas, thank you and I appreciate where you are coming from. I am a HUGE fan of The Chosen and recommend it to people all the time. I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 30 years. We have sometimes been nicknamed LDS or Mormon which is sad because it leaves out the most important part of our religion: Jesus Christ. He is our Master and Savior. That is why The Chosen has such a large following from members of my church. We are indeed Christian. It is not a mistake to label us as such. So rest assured. It is NOT a mistake to ever call us Christians. We are proud to be so labelled. I am not incorrectly speaking for an entire group of people.

@Juniper Cammack I've been a member for over 50 years and I'd be honored to have you say the same things I would have said. I agree completely. I'm sure many millions of other members do as well. ~ Ron Vincent ~
Mr. Jenkins, I have listened to this entire video and agree with much of what you say. I am a huge fan of The Chosen and will continue to buy and watch this series as long as you all keep making it. I have been searching for God all my years of living and I have come to the conclusion that he has also been looking for me too. I am a believer of Christ 100% and always will be. God did NOT say I'm giving Hollie the job to judge people therefore I can move on. I am an imperfect human and do NOT judge anyone for any reason and stay in my own lane and continue to work on myself. I hope others do as well. God bless everyone and I pray he leads us all far away from our imperfections and bring us closer to him.
God Bless You more and more.
Amen!
Actually, God did give you the job of judging others. It is called discernment in the bible and you will know them by their fruits is also in the bible.
God said to teach and correct people using his word. If you know that your fellow man is going to hell for their wrong beliefs and fail to warn them, you are just as responsible for their doom as they are.
Ezekiel 3:18, NIV: When I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.
@@CommandoJenkins Yes we can warn, teach, preach, but not pester people to the point where they are totally put off as they have their agency to choose God or Satan.
We are not Mormon, we don't care what anyone says, we believe God has used you and this series to reach many people and show them Jesus.
We love it and are rewatching it with our children to show them a correlation to the Word and stories they are learning.
Dallas' discernment can not be trusted. He said that talking to Dr. Zachariah was the closest he's ever came to seeing Jesus face to face yet it was discovered that Dr. Zachariah was an adulterer and a r@pist. He also said The Chosen started at Harvest Bible Chapel (The church he attended for years). The pastor from Harvest Bible Chapel taught unbiblically and was arrested for abuse, including making a comment about child p*rn. The Chosen is also unbiblical, there is a scene where "Jesus" says "I am the law of Moses." That was never stated in the Christian Bible, it's stated in the Mormon bible.
@@JesusLightsYourPath Two things. "I am the law of Moses" was never said in the Book of Mormon, and we members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints do not have our own Bible, it is the stick of Joseph. Article of Faith 8, which is doctrine for our church and clearly states our believe, says "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."
I have always been a believer but my husband has not, I was watching The Chosen one day and he sat and watched the entire season 2 with me and when it was over asked when season 3 was going to be on.... THAT, is why what your doing in important,, I thank God for The Chosen and all those involved in the making,, you are all reaching so many that really NEED to hear ...
I love what you said. ❤️❤️❤️
The bible couldn't reach him. Thank God he gave the Chosen to the world to reach the ones who can't find God through his word. (sarcasm)
You are elevating The Chosen over The Bible, the gospel, the words of God himself.
The Thumb's Down is just to get your and others attention. Because your comment highlights one of the several DANGERS that The Chosen brings. While I love the show, have thoroughly enjoyed every episode, and recommend it often there is a DANGER that it will lead MANY to Idolatry and ultimately eternal torment in the lake of fire because it is lacking in the Theological Department. Granted, that's NOT what it's about but it's a truth nonetheless that can't be ignored.
And when folks see comments like your "I have always been a believer" and then couple that with seeing the show and enjoying it they too may come to hold a false theology such as that. Or, worse, even think they can define their theology by the show!
NO, you have NOT always been a Believer. If you truly meant that and believe that then you need to be saved.
@@magnetpi99 - See my comments to Teri. You two are in the same boat. Your Soteriology is completely unbiblical. See Romans 1 and 3 for starters. And if you wanna replace "God" with "Jesus" then you can jump on over to Jn. 6:44.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to live in a "fish bowl", where your every word and action is scrutinized. Your attempt to clarify past statements appears as an act of humility to me and I for one appreciate this. Is there really any Believer alive that has never acted in a way, or spoke in a way that today they'd not regret? I think not. God help us take our eyes off others, stop judging, and focus on Jesus Christ and loving and serving Him and reflecting His image to others. Thank you for bringing us The Chosen and shining a light towards the only One that can save and rescue us and provide perfect peace and joy. Looking forward to Season 3.
I agree. I'm impressed by, and grateful for your incredible humility Dallas, and the way you portray Jesus confirms that!
we are ordered to Judge but to Judge carefully without hypocrisy and most importantly not judge the heart.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue. No matter how sly or how sweet, words matter! That's why it's important to study and search the scriptures so you can sniff out false teachers!

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My wife and I are grateful for your great work and the work of the cast and crew of the show. It is a beautiful testament of Christ for today's world
Dallas, The dialogue of the show is so perfect!!!!! The way The Savior is portrayed is exactly the way I have always envisioned Him. What a heart and what a message! I have never in my lifetime seen a better series. My family gets goosebumps and we shed tears of hope as we see these magnificent stories told in a fashion of beauty and truth.The Holy Spirit does testify of it to ones heart...We are an LDS family and we love The Messiah too! May God Bless you and all your efforts...
"Until we care more about what God thinks than what other people think we are never truly free."
GOD thinks Mormonism is a cult. He says so in his Word
"The show is not the end game..." I've heard this from Jerry Jenkins regarding the Left Behind book series as well. So important for everyone to remember-it is a step into exposing people to the character of Christ as revealed in the Bible. There is a disclaimer in the very first episode of the very first season. The Chosen is NOT a replacement for the Gospel, it's up to each of us to study scripture and have truth revealed too us by the Holy Spirit. For me personally, it has driven me deeper into the gospels and put flesh to the flawed people Jesus chose to surround Himself with. Thank you Dallas for your thoughtful statement.
The show is not the end game? So . . . there's an "end game" in all of this? That's a horrifying statement. The Antichrist has an end game also. It may look a lot like this. The Mormon Church is not a Christian church. They may be good people but they are NOT followers of Jesus Christ. Do you understand that? No good will come of believers in business with unbelievers preaching the gospel "together". The Apostle Paul made that very clear. You'll see when you get to "that part" of the book.
When people say "that's not in the Bible!" I just remind them, a lot of things weren't in the Bible. The apostles had lives that weren't described in detail, Yeshuah said way more things and performed many miracles that were not recorded.
I agree on both accounts, the chosen is giving us an opportunity to bring us closer to the savior of where we are in our lives already. Each one of our journeys will look different. This is an opportunity for me to draw even closer to my savior! And I have felt strongly the HG teaching me principles from these actors and actresses sharing these stories of our saviors life.
Wonderful explanation Nancy, I agree totally with you. there will always be disagreement with those who have a weak or distant relationship with Christ, and only want to be recognized for voicing opinions, opinions are like noses, we all have one and they're all different, they did it to Jesus and He said they would do it to His true followers as well, if they were truly followers they would be praying not criticizing to cause disencention and discouraging new seekers and believers 🙏
The problem is the Christ presented in The Chosen is nothing like the true Christ in scripture.
However we have a vast number of professing Christians who are too lazy to read their bible (how you really get to know the true Christ) and would rather get a fake Jesus from a well produced TV show.
as a full gospel Christian, and a lifetime student of the Bible, I am amazed and moved how well you portray the fathers heart in the Chosen!
It's a bummer with how much Dallas studies the bible, and talks about counterfeits ---He still thinks Mormons following the LDS beliefs, and love the same Jesus he has.
Yes! Let's give each other grace, love and patience. I can't imagine being in the spotlight and having everything I do and say scrutinized. You are doing an amazing job with the chosen! Thank you for all you are doing! I'm LDS and everyone I talk to that is LDS absolutely loves this show! It gives another perspective of Christ and His ministry that is so refreshing, real and respectful. Keep moving forward and letting the spirit guide. It's obvious that you are doing that!
I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I love your work. God bless you and the crew so y’all can continue making this series greater!!
Arguably, that's because they're not making it mormon.
@@batmaninc2793 huh?
@@YamesNuu1 If it were made to appeal to the mormon interpretation of Jesus, God, the gospel, it wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as it has been.
Much in the same way that it would fail to match its current success if it were done from the interpretation of the jehovah's witnesses; who say Jesus isn't God, but the archangel St Michael.
It'd be scandalous.
@@batmaninc2793 it’s actually pretty similar to what we teach. Not saying that’s why it’s popular. But I hear you.
@@YamesNuu1 Speaking of Jesus in media: I am actually curious how the (rather late) sequel to The Passion will do. Not that it'll be promoted much considering how they feel about the movie's director, but, still.
This Roman Catholic has really been enjoying the show. Keep doing what you are doing. I have so much respect for you and your work. It must be so difficult to create something in this world today because everyone will comment on it and everyone will overinterpret and social media gets very strange. Don't let the critiques get into your head and make you start second guessing yourself.
That makes two of us❣️ In fact I actually found out about the existence of the show from Fr. Mark Goring's CZcams channel, a wonderful Catholic Priest who couldn't say enough good things about "The Chosen."
Let's all pray for Dallas and the cast and crew that GOD would keep inspiring them to even greater excellence and protect them from all the evil that would like to stop this wonderful series because it is drawing people to our wonderful Savior JESUS 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖
You must be born again
@@JesusPrayerTeam450 Thank you, I am.
>>>>>John 3:5

Don't forget that "Roman Catholic" was created as a derogatory term by no Catholics. We are Catholic 😊
Thank you, Dallas, for the beautiful depiction you and your team has created.
I love my Savior Jesus Christ.
I am grateful for His atonement.
The Chosen has helped me better connect with Him.
I strive daily to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I am grateful for others who do not share all of the same traditions or beliefs that I do, but who love Jesus, and strive to be more like Him.
The only view that matters of whether I am a disciple and Christian is that of Jesus himself, and He will share that with me Himself one day.
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
Hey Dallas,
I'm a Latter-day Saint and I love your show. I know tons of other members of my church who love it too.
I appreciate what you said. I've been on a journey of coming to see people individually as well. I've had negative interactions with people of other faiths and have unfortunately made blanket judgements about those faiths as a whole. Yet, I hate it when people do that about my domination, so what right do I have to do that to someone else? This is something I'm working on improving.
Thanks for the show and all the work you're doing!
My family and I absolutely love The Chosen. I’ve heard the talk but I’ve not heard or seen anything in the text of the show that is not plausible. I’ve watched (and loved) other movies, such as The Ten Commandments and understand that this is a movie. Some theatrical license is certainly to be expected. It doesn’t take away from its effectiveness. To those who are LDS, I think that the big question is whether or not you believe that Jesus is the eternal God; that He has always been and forever will be equal in His being as God the Father. Also, Is the redemption of Christ sufficient for our salvation? Is there anything that we must do to be a child of God with assurance of salvation? Thank you for the show, Dallas! It’s such a blessing to many!
Well said Bonnie. I still have a problem with the Book of Mormon, essentially overwriting the true Holy Bible. I also read the “God Makers”, in which the writer, an ex-Mormon, states that each Mormon will upon death be a “Jesus” for another earth. That to me is not scriptural. If any LDS can clarify that for me and show where it is in the Holy Bible I would appreciate it. I do believe that most of the LDS are wonderful God fearing people, but I do hope they believe that Jesus is the true and only God of the universe.
Thank you.
Hey Dallas… LDS member , age 64, we love the Chosen. Its inspired work. I know because I feel the spirit when I watch So relax, you’re doing great work and I’m going it keep supporting you and your team! I wish you were able to produce more faster.
The show has really helped in reading my Bible and the visualization of everyone as real people 😍
Dallas, thank you for your integrity as a Christian. I am LDS, and thank you for doing such a great work with The Chosen. I believe that you are divinely inspired in this work.

The Book Of Mormon is not a contrary book to the Bible. It adds to it , to testify of Christ. I want to be part of a church that doesn’t hate on other religious beliefs.
@@williamjennings2801 you do realize there is only one truth, right? What you just said proves you have no idea what the Bible says.
@@robertvanwijmeren2685 You are right, but you haven’t read the Book of Mormon either, so if you want to make an argument on this case, I suggest you read The Book of Mormon yourself and more fully understand why we believe that both the Bible and The Book of Mormon go hand in hand. There’s a reason why The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.
@@ryoku6328 false, why would I read a revelation of Jesus Christ if He has already been revealed?!?!
Well done and well said. We attended a presbyterian church but I grew up with the Mormon church and I can say with great confidence that all of the LDS folks I know absolutely love Jesus!!! We may disagree on predestination or other human philosophical issues but as far as the big picture is concerned, we love Jesus and its all about faith through His Grace. God Bless all y'all!!!!
If Christians believe Jesus is God and always existed and was not created, and Mormons say Jesus is only Gods Son and there is not a trinity, we are not following the same Jesus.
@@nateriley870 Yet there is only one true Jesus. My bet is on the LDS One.
Dallas, Thank you for the clarity & pointing us all back to God’s word. We initially were drawn to Season 1 during the Covid Lockdown & were so impressed by the Biblical accuracy of THE CHOSEN that we watched the full season 10-times and began contributing to the crowd-funding of Season 2.
We have since supported and were extras in both the Sermon on the Mount (Frozen-Chosen) and in the F5K as well. We are so grateful for the continued faithfulness you and your entire crew have demonstrated in season 3 and share THE CHOSEN daily & pray for its continued impact on people around the world.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ (LDS). I appreciate the work you all do. Your portrayal of Jesus is my favorite, by far. And I've seen a lot of them. Christ lives!
The Chosen series brings life into the scriptures especially for those of us who are visual learners sometimes more than someone just talking. Anyone who walks in the Spirit can discern properly while watching the series. Looking anxiously forward to Season 3!!! 🤗🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
Very well said!! Thank you.
GOD's WORD speaks to you when you read it. You are missing out on supernatural understanding if you do not read it. So read the WORD. Stop using visual learning as an excuse not to READ the WORD of GOD.
@@lorilfullermmd That’s not even what they said. I too am a visual learner. I read, but for something to be embedded to where I can fully understand, I need the help of visual aids. The Chosen has done that for many. Not just to understand but to feel the words and how they are connected to me.
@@ladybugmom10 Sorry I didn’t mean to cause any harm. God bless you dear one.
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣% AGREED 👍 ‼️
Iam a member of the church of jesus christ of Latter-day Saints, I'm so excited about the chosen series wish everyone would work hard as you guys are doing ❤️, we all have to work together to teach each other, love the chosen it has touched my heart.
Mormons aren't Christian
If they hold to Scripture hopefully you won’t like the series for very long if you’re a member of the LDS church.
@@bjstewart9547 I can't wait for all of the Mormon cope and seeth
@@bjstewart9547 Why do you say that? The Chosen is a beautiful show, and if it holds to the truth of scripture, that's even more reason to love it no matter what your faith. It's an inspired project that has encouraged me to study the New Testament with eagerness.
You may very easily find members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who aren't as familiar with the Bible as other Christians, and that's a shame, but like Dallas said, you can't speak for the congregation as a whole about these things. It's composed of individuals who make their own choices about what to study and how much time to spend on it.
There is one thing that can be said for the whole though, and that's the doctrine. The 8th Article of Faith says "We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly." So I really can't see any reason for us LDS to dislike any part of The Chosen unless it's a matter of interpretation, but as the show stated in the beginning, it's not a replacement for scripture, but an adaptation that's taking some fictional license. And so far, even the obviously fictional parts expressed some truth.
So, as the show progresses, it will be good for us viewers to search the New Testament to see how scripture actually says the events happened (the show itself explicitly encourages this), but that's true no matter what denomination you belong to.
@@RAMavy he said that because he's not a Christian. By your fruits you will know them. Being antagonistic and trying to destroy someone's beliefs is from Satan.
I almost never binge watch any tv shows, but I have binge watch The Chosen many times and have rewatched season 3 three times so far. Also, I want to say that I often forget that Jesus in the series is really Johnathan Roummie (SIC). This series is so well written and so well acted. I am a 77 year old evangelical who was saved in 1968 and have read and studied my Bible daily with prayer daily for many, many years.
I love Jesus Christ, and I'm always concerned at how He is portrayed in film so I was cautious in watching the Chosen, but I am sooooo happy with the spirit of this production! Thank you for putting this together and I say whatever denominations you work with to bring this forth, go for it!! As long as it continues to bring people closer to Christ, it is of God! And I love your loaves and fishes "logo"-- the idea that we bring our meager offering and He multiplies it into something amazing! The definition of this show!
I recently posted in a group of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, giving my heartfelt recommendation for The Chosen. And as the comments flooded in, they were ALL in praise of the show or saying thanks for the recommendation because they've heard good things but haven't seen it yet. So yes, while the show is not produced by the Church, many many members have received confirmation from the Spirit that it is truthful and good!
Christ crucified. Period. Best commentary on the Bible IS the BIBLE.
I Agree with what you said about The Chosen. I to have started to read the Bible really really, really for the first time in my life. So to Dallas and the Entire Cast, crew, writers, EVERYBODY Please 🙄 keep bringing this series to us. Cuz I need it. Thank 😊 🙏 😊 🙏 You
I’m LDS, Christian, and LOVE this show. Thanks for what you do. It will positively influence people on this Earth for generations.
Your organization promotes a god that is not described in the Bible.
@@leef_me8112 thanks for your comment. I believe in the same Jesus that The Chosen depicts ❤️
@@katesirrine what about the Jesus of the bible? An honest question here, do you not think that there is any significant difference in believing that the father was once a man who became a god, had several wives, Jesus bring one of his sons and the brother to Satan and believing that there’s one eternal God who had no beginning? Or what about believing that Jesus, the father and the spirit are one united as one God? Isn’t that different to what you believe.
Why do people keep dodging this question? Why does it seem radical that people would question how LDS and evangelicals could be considered believers of the same Jesus
@@kolaoj5174 you asked a couple of questions. Which one are people dodging?
We believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three beings who act together as one. We believe in the same Jesus that is in the Bible, which is the same Jesus that the Chosen depicts.
Mormons aren't Christian
This is so sad that he has to explain this.
Keep doing everything you’ve been doing, we’re grateful for all the efforts that you’ve put in to making The Chosen. You’ve been an instrument in the Lord’s hands, forget about the drama that people try to come up with.
Dallas and The Chosen are truly inspired. Thank you for helping us all feel closer to Jesus, for making him and his followers seem more realistic, and helping us understand the context behind the stories. We love watching every episode with our family.
Dallas I actually did watch the beginning of one of the “anti” chosen CZcams videos. I was wanting to hear what the problems was. I very soon realised it was not worth a listen and switched channels! I only wanted to say after listening to your video today that I pray for “The Chosen”, cast, crew and all involved every day 🙏🏻 and that you will successfully continue this wonderful work to completion. You are doing a great job all of you so stay focused and keep going! (I don’t need to tell you whose work this is, all the “anti” stuff)
I am Catholic and love the show and I am not into all this judging!!! Anyone who truly loves God knows He wants us to love each other….
God bless 🙏🏻❤️
Fellow Catholic here and I agree with you that "The Chosen" is representing the greatest of the 3 Theological values LOVE stupendously❣️
Who has not just bawled their eyes out at the aching tenderness of JESUS with the leper begging Him not to turn away, or with Simon stressed out to desperation suddenly getting a boat-sinking load of fish, or Thomas stupified by the Water turning to wine. Or Mother Mary washing JESUS' feet and bloodied hands as the disciples cringe in shame over their childish fight throwing their egos around while JESUS has been working Himself bloody.
Yeah I bet the lord of darkness is gnashing his teeth in rage at all the LOVE that this show is generating and spreading. May GOD continue inspiring Dallas and cast and crew to even greater heights.

Just wanted to let you know that when I started watching The Chosen I was watching to see how closely the show followed the actual Scriptures and was very pleased with the degree of effort to stick to simply the Scriptures! Without any hint of any attempt to convert to any particular domination. I love the series because it helps make the different stories of Scripture be more real when you can see faces and mannerisms and in turn it leads to a better understanding. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see Scripture come to life! I am so very sorry that you have been put thru such undo criticism and I pray that it does not deter you from what I consider an anointed work. God bless you and all those who are dedicated to this project!
Beautifully said everything you said I agree with that as well
True? What about the part that Jesus Needed Mathew’s Help on the mount. Explain to me why Jesus would need Mathew’s help
@@SaintsLoveThyNeighbor why does that bother you? Needing help doesn't imply weakness. Jesus needed all the disciples or he wouldn't have chosen any of them. Why do you conclude that infers weakness upon Christ?

@@Van-tastic BECAUSE THATS NOT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, I would like to say thank you. The program has brought the Bible to a whole new light, and your comments here are greatly appreciated as well. In a world that is dark and attacks the whole Christian community, I am given hope when I find the Light of Christ shining for the whole world to see. I truly do love our Savior, and I love seeing your faith as well. Again, Thank You.
Wherever your faith takes you, however it shapes your life, I am just grateful to you for sharing it, and bringing souls to Christ through your creation of this incredible series. It is truly incredible, and has made a difference in my own life. I myself am LDS and still very much love all your messages because they are true. Your messages have always been shared in a loving and nonjudgmental way. Additionally, your humility is admirable and I don't mind being taught by you, because that is something I am working on myself. You're a very good Christian, and I support you and will gladly support The Chosen efforts.
I'm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I love the Chosen and I love Jesus Christ. I'm sorry that other Christians are concerned that you are working with other faiths, including ours. Thank you for your open mind and work on this show. It is so needed in the time we are living in.

How can you reconcile these verses from The Holy Bible with the heretical teachings of your false prophet Joseph Smith? Do you really think that you will become a “god” one day? Do you deny The Holy Trinity? You need to repent of your Mormonism and believe the true Gospel as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV):
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”

At least you call it “another faith”... your “faith” is leading people away from the true Jesus Christ, different Jesus different Gospel. “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8
@@CloutDigital The Saints teach that Jesus is risen up in the flesh. So are you condemning John's testimony saying that he saw an angle preaching the everlasting gospel in the last days out to all the earth's inhabitants before the end comes? .This is the everlasting gospel, not another gospel. So you interpreted Galatians wrong.
Paul wasn't condemning John's testimony otherwise John would be in contradiction with Paul then God would be a respecter of persons and divided up against himself and be a God that lies if Paul was preaching against John. Since John got the vision of Revelations of the end of the world from an angle of heaven that came down to him sent down by God to visit John on the Isle of Patmos. so we know that the angle that had visited John is not the same angle that Paul was going on about to the Galatian Saints. So you're incorrect in saying God condemns all angels that come down from heaven. One just came down to John to update John after Paul's death to tell John who God will hand the everlasting gospel over to in the latter-days. Again in Daniel Chapter 12, Daniel is told that God's word will only be sealed up only until the end times.. So there was a set period of time where there would be no more revelation from God and a famine of God's word will start which is mentioned in Amos. And then after that set time passes then the sealed Book known as the Book of Mormon will be brought forth up out of the ground that Isaiah had seen in Chapter 29. So in the last days God's word is going to be unsealed by God
Himself and he will add more to his word. That is why the angle had commanded John not to seal up the words of this prophecy because of What Daniel was told that the sealing (revelations and prophets ceasing) was only for a certain period of time then it would be restored back again in the last days.. Then would Acts Chapter 3 a time of restitution of all things be fulfilled when the gospel is restored back to the earth.
An angle comes down from heaven and preaches the everlasting gospel,just as he did so to John on the isle of Patmos to update him on what God is going to do in the last days. In The last days the angle comes down sent by God and preaches the everlasting gospel out to the whole planet. So the everlasting gospel is not going to spread out on the earth by just distributing only the Bible, for that's not how the everlasting gospel will be preached
in the last days. For in the last days the law of God will be preached out from Zion and from Jersualem for the Lord will roar his voice from out of Zion and from Jersualem.
So you guys are over 1900 years out of date, since you believe all revelation from God had all ceased over 1900 years ago after Christ and his apostles. For its not the truth, for the everlasting Gospel has been restored back to the earth. The sealing of God's word has been broken, it was broken as soon as the Father and Son had revealed themselves to the world in 1820. God did not intend his word to be sealed up forever because even though Jesus finished the work of the atonement on the cross, God the Father had other work to do in the last days.. There will be a restoration in the last days because there was an apostasy.
@@germanslice I assume you are a Mormon. That means you believe Jesus is a created being. He always existed. You believe he is lucifer’s brother. He is not. You believe he was a god, among many other god’s. He is the Alpha and Omega, beside Him there are no other god’s. Mormon’s believe in another Jesus. And as a result they believe in a Jesus that cannot save, and preach another gospel.
Watching the show has made me want to read my Bible more. I think it's so cool when I come across some of the stories in the old testament that you cover in the show because I can see it happening in my head and helps ground the word into reality, which makes me wanna read even more. I truly appreciate what you're doing with the show and am really looking forward to season 3.
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣% AGREED 👍 ‼️
One of my favorite aspects of this show is the context I get that isn't available in the scriptures. Having an understanding of every day life, the nature of the relationship between the Romans, Jews, Jewish leaders, and the different classes can help lend assistance in understanding the scriptures. Kinda like understanding Isaiah! Context and understanding the references is helpful.
....if your new to scripture....start reading the Gospel of John. That's the number one book for beginners. It's the Book where l got saved. It shows us in John 1:1 and John 1:14 that Jesus is God in the Flesh. Not God the Father...but God the Son. We serve a Triune God ...a Trinity. ( Father, Son and Holy Spirit.) God Bless...📜🌷✝️
@@michellecheriekjv4115 Amen
@@michellecheriekjv4115 I agree, watching the show made me want to go back to the basics and just seek to know Jesus more, and I started by slowly reading through the book of John again! I love how this show puts a face to some of these people we read about and it does make me want to read my Bible more too, to see if things really happened the way they portray them.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, love the Chosen, the production quality is excellant, the actors are great, and I feel that as Christians we are to bring others to Christ, the Chosen is another way to teach about "the way, the truth and the life" that is Jesus Christ.
The Chosen is being used by our God of the Bible to reach so many and it is felt by all who really know Him and those that don’t but need Him...others are still afar off and we pray they will come to know Him. Thank you Dallas for all you do ...This show is amazing and very very anointed. God bless you and all involved! 💁🏻♀️❤️🙏
As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I just thank you so much for the Chosen. I feel the Holy Spirit testifying the truth and the message of Jesus Christ when I watch it. And I love thinking about how it gathers so many of different faiths and beliefs together. Thank you for working so hard to portray the Jesus I imagine as I read scripture. It has helped me to improve on my relationship with Him as I pray and study scripture more intensely. God bless you and your work.
Amen! I’m a member and feel the same way. Thanks so much!
I do agree with you Sarah! ❤️
Is Jesus a created being?
Is it the same "Holy Spirit" that gives you a "testimony" that the Book of Mormon is true?
@@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel The same "Holy Spirit" that teaches us all things (John 14:26). I wonder whether you have read what the Book of Mormon actually teaches about Jesus Christ. Would you be willing to read one chapter? I recommend Moroni chapter 7 as a good summary of the book's Christology.
Thank you Dallas! My wife and I are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) and this show has brought us closer to Jesus and personally I believe you are authentic and God is using you as a disciple of Christ in a marvelous work. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We love you and your show!!!
Bible is very clear not to add anything to the bible or take away.
So called prophet Joseph Smith has created his own version of the bible via book of Mormon
Revelation 22:18-19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Friend. The Mormon church believes a false gospel and false Christ. The Mormon church believes God is a created being and has not existed for all eternity. The Bible is clear that God has existed for all eternity and there was never a time where there was other gods. None before him or after him. God says he doesn’t even know of any other gods. He’s the first and the last. The Mormons do not believe this. They believe he was a human that became God and one day we can become Gods too. They also believe Jesus is lucifers brother when the Bible is clear that Jesus created all things, including Lucifer. The Mormon church is full of lies and has a long history of abuse and scandals ever since it’s inception. Turn from this false church and believe the Christ of scripture, the one who has existed for all eternity with the father and the Holy Spirit. Repent and put your faith in the true Jesus. The Mormon gospel does not save. Watch apologia studios videos on Mormonism to learn more PLEASE.
@@eb6359 You already disobey God when he said no adding back in Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it"
So goodbye Jesus. Goodbye New Testament. Bye apostles. No Martin Luther or Protestantism since he removed 6 books from the Bible accepted for 1000 years.
I'm glad you're watching it. Keep watching it and the Bible to find more about Jesus the son of God. Do mormons still believe Jesus and satan are brothers?
@@michellesolomon1773 yes they do, and that God “Heavenly Father” was once a man… in other words God in their religion is a creature.. the Mormons need the real Jesus and real gospel that can actually save
I’m LDS and I support your beliefs. Your personal relationship with Christ is what will save you, not what you do in church on Sunday, what clothes you wear, or even if you testify to Jesus. I’m a work in progress and I feel that will always will be. Your show has brought many things in perspective about Jesus and his followers. The thing that stand out the most, is that despite the many backgrounds on his followers, “The Chosen” were selected because of whom they were and what they could become.
You & the entire cast including all extras project such a positive spirit !!! May God bless each of you to continue to be so inspired in this monumental undertaking !!! Thank YOU ALL for your endless hours of endless study and humble prayer and earnest consultation in order to bring the Good News to so many around our wide world … especially at such a time as this in our world’s existence … What you have created and continue to create is a blessing in the lives of countless individuals everywhere !!! May you ALL be blessed to be able to continue throughout the years to realize the entire DREAM🙏🏼
It’s so disheartening when some choose to concentrate on splitting hairs when the MESSAGE is so obviously & easily all-inclusive.
Jesus came first to the Jews ….
… and then to all gentiles …
… (everyone else) … even the Romans & Greeks … even the Philistines who would open their hearts and choose to listen … to any & all who would make the sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit who would then choose to follow Him and strive daily to keep His commandments …
Jesus Christ is the one & only Savior for our entire world- past, present & future …
How simply PRECIOUS & GLORIOUS !!! HALLELUJAH !!!
So sorry you had to deal with this. I love Jesus. The Chosen is my favorite depiction of the Savior EVER. Ever. I feel the spirit so strongly when I watch the series and honestly feel like it helps me to know my Savior better. I believe these complaints and arguments are from the adversary because it takes our attention away from where it truly needs to be: sharing the Chosen with everyone!! I am LDS. Every LDS person I have spoken to about this series loves it like I do. Dallas you are a blessing.
Mormons aren't Christian
I am a Cradle Catholic who came back to Jesus a year and a half ago. I agree with you 100% on the depiction of Jesus in The Chosen. It has helped me form a more personal relationship with Him. Made me truly love him deeply in my heart. Whatever is going on with The Chosen, it is clear to me that it is guided by the Holt Spirit. It is bringing many to Christ!
I have a dear friend who has introduced her daughter to Jesus and the Salvation story through The Chosen. Her daughter is 15, not baptized, and is discerning Christianity. She really likes the show, and we both agree, this is the most extraordinary portrayal or Jesus Christ either of us has ever seen.
Pax vobis! 🙏🕊
As am I and I remain a devoted Latter-day Saint.
@@MC-ln9dj Praying to Mary and to the Saints is heretical and wrong. The roman catholic church is not the original church of Christ.
@@latter-daysaintbatman2679 Dear Saint Batman, we don’t pray TO Mary and the Saints. We pray THROUGH Mary and the Saints, asking for intercession. I won’t enter a debate about the Catholic Church.

How refreshing! Thank you, Dallas. I am a Christian and love Jesus with all my heart, and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I use your show all the time to introduce people to Jesus. You have made it easy to share the good message of the gospel and to start conversations about Jesus. I share your show with all my friends. God bless you and your team for the great work you are doing!

Unfortunately Mormons don't believe the same things about Christ as Christians do, many are in stark contrast. However you can follow the teachings of Christ even if your religion teaches differently about who He is
@@pagejames8754 Yup 👍. That's one of the points Dallas was making...
@@pagejames8754 You just had to say something, didn't you? I guess I did too.
LDS is actually a different gospel. In Galatians, Paul says that, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8 And it was an angel who presented the book of Morman to their founder, Joseph Smith.
Dear Dallas. I thank you for the enormous effort of giving us such a vivid representation of the Gospel with love and respect for the Word. Many people is motivated to read the Bible again because of the show. You have done it with a pure heart and great generosity. For the rest "we all fall short of the Glory of God ".♡
My son who is Six is having dreams of Jesus regularly since we started watching Chosen as a family. He says they feel so good.
I hugged him for a good long time and asked if they feel that good.
He said
“Way better”
What child thinks anything is better than a mother’s love?
Only one who has truly experienced Jesus.
The Chosen is wonderful and it uplifts my spirit. I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints and I do love The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thusly, I am Christian. I love that He is worshipped, no matter the Christian denomination. We need more of this type of program in the world today. The Savior needs all of us to share His gospel and live by His example of love and understanding.🙏😁❤️
May I ask what is the LDS's teaching on who Jesus is? Is it true that you believe Jesus to be Satan's brother?
I notice you keep saying "the Saviour," which Jesus is our saviour, but do you worship Jesus as the one true God, as part of the trinity (Father, Son & Spirit)?
@@mattgoodson84 I'd love to answer your questions if they are indeed asked in good faith:
Yes, we believe Jesus is Jehova, the God of the Old Testament, and the great I AM.
Yes, we believe that He, God the Father, and the Holy Ghost are one, but we do not believe in homoousios.
We also believe that all are spirit children of God, including Satan and all the angels, making Christ our elder brother and making Satan our brother as well. We do not believe that this makes Christ any less holy.
Mormons aren't Christian
@@tasamolic This is false. If you believe these things, good for you, but this is not what Mormonism teaches. According to Mormonism, Jesus is a man who achieved godhood, the same as others can achieve after they pass from this Earth. They do not believe that God, whom they call the first created being, is Jesus. If you believe in the Trinity (3 persons, but 1 God) good for you. I'm genuinely happy that you do, but that is not what the LDS Church believes, and that put you at odds with Mormonism as a whole.
@@samtr3992 this is absolutely incorrect. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I can tell you that we do not call ourselves Mormons and that we do not believe Jesus Christ is a man who achieved godhood. Jesus is Jehovah the Savior of the world. He is the Son of the Highest. My deliverer, Healer, and Savior. We worship the Father and the Son.
It is arrogant to believe you know more about any other faith's beliefs than those who belong to it.
As an LDS member I really only care what Christ thinks of my discipleship. His opinion is all that matters. I’m grateful for The Chosen and your work and my wife and I really enjoy the series.
As an ex member of LDS, I agree with that.
Jesus asked an important question. "Who do you say that I am?" Jesus IS God. Mormons don't believe that. Consequently, mormons don't believe in the Christian God. As such, mormons aren't Christians no matter how much they think they are. I encourage you to learn your doctrines so you can be saved. If you love the real Jesus, leave mormonism.
Amen!
@@jimfolk1490
Mormons believe Jesus is God but not like the historical Trinity. Mormon theology is different from JW theology, the JW'S don't believe Jesus is God. Mormons believe he is God but became God through exultation (i believe). At one point if I'm not mistaken, Mormons think Jesus wasn't God, and then at a later point, he became God by a process of progression into divinity. I'm pretty sure Mormons teach that.
That being said, being God eternally is a required attribute for the God of the Bible. As he was never not God, according to the scriptures!
The other difference is Mormons divide the 3 persons into being separate from each other somehow. Whereas the historical Trinity is 1 God in 3 united persons, Mormons believe in 3 divided persons which are distinct from each other and each are God. Seems kind of like polytheism? But they don't believe in one God in 3 persons. This is what a mormon told me anyway! Any Mormons out there correct me if I'm incorrect.
Edited for clarity
@@prayunceasingly2029 - Mormons do not believe Jesus is God. Period! Moreover, because mormonism has been caught dead wrong on so many issues, they have to keep changing what they believe so that all of its followers don't leave. The sad truth is that many mormons don't know their doctrines, which is why many believe they are Christian when that aren't.
I found Jesus and was born again when I was 14. I joined the LDS church when I was 17. I worship the same Jesus now that I did when I was 14. We need to be careful not to set ourselves up as the Pharisees, judging each other's walk and abrogating to ourselves the right to judge who is following Christ "right" and who is not. I think The Chosen does a pretty good job of portraying Jesus' opinion of the Pharisees who were so quick to judge every one else's "performance". That is God's job. Our job is to love, invite others to come to Christ, however they may work out the fine points of their worship. Jesus went out of His way from the get go to go into the byways and fringes of society to call and choose those the Pharisees condemned. We must love like He did, and be willing to stir up the water. God bless.
We also are warned many times in Scripture about "false prophets". There is no better example than Joseph Smith. For the sake of your own eternal soul, educate yourself.
@@pate6357 been doing just that. For going on 50 years. I dealt with just that question, 50 years ago, whether he was a false or true prophet. By their fruits he shall know them. I got my answer then, and it's been tried and put to the test and been through the fire in that half century. I stand by it now.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jesus Christ is my Savior, my Master, my Best Friend, my Redeemer and the Lover of my Soul. The Chosen has elevated my gratitude for Him. It has deepened the intimacy of my relationship with Him. Thank you, Dallas, for all you and your team has done to bring people to Christ. I am a Christian and a disciple of Christ, learning and evolving in what that means. ❤️
Other people have already echoed what I wanted to say. I have one other thing to add. The show is gaining in popularity. That means you are on the radar and the enemy will DO whatever he can do to stop what God anoints. The attacks are coming hard. So, I would ask anyone who reads this that if you love this show and these people then lift them up in prayer and be the coving for them. They are over the target and the enemy hates it. You have my prayers. God bless you and God continue to bless the chosen.

Verse 3.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV -
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,
3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
The Catholic Church forbids its leadership to marry.
The Orthodox have varying levels abstinence from foods, depending on the region and the time of year.
@@brianhale3678i dont follow what youre trying to point out...
There are and will be ALWAYS someone who wants to dog you no matter what you say, think, or do. Stand true to who you are and what you believe and let God handle the rest. Love the Chosen series and pray for the cast and all those involved in producing it!
I am so proud of Dallas!!! He has taken the high road with the comments made about him personally or the the way he’s used his God-given gift to change people’s lives through The Chosen series! (I am certainly one of them) I am sure that God is well pleased because of the untold numbers of souls who have received His Son as their Savior and/or have rededicated theirs lives or has found new hope in their season of pain and suffering!(🙋🏽♀️)
My prayer is that God will continue to bless and use this man (and all involved with The Chosen) to spread the good news of Jesus Christ! I also pray as well that Almighty God our Father would touch the hearts of those who maybe spiteful, jealous, influenced by the devil or just not a faithful follower of Christ! To God be all the glory, honor and praise!!! In Jesus’ mighty, matchless and marvelous name. Amen
"I will make you fishers of men. And you are to gather as many as possible, all kinds. I will sort them out later."
Our chosen church or religion is not the point. It is our individual relationship with God and His Son. Thank you, Dallas.
This show does not replace my relationship with my Savior. It does not replace scripture. It does not replace my church. It supplements and enriches it.
I remember watching the very first episode for the very first time. I knew I had found something special. I had been struggling for a long time with relating to my God. But he never left. I did. All I had to do was "look up."
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I absolutely love The Chosen. I feel that this show has united all of us in our quest to come closer to Jesus Christ and to read His word. My son got me the 2 novels your father wrote for Mother’s Day and I love them! I feel that you are an instrument in God’s hand to bring the truth of Jesus to the world. I pray God will bless your endeavors!

There is no union to be had between the biblical Jesus Christ and the false Jesus of Mormonism.
@@kwpp7 I hope at some point you're willing to truly get to know a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and ask them what they believe about Jesus Christ. He is my Savior, my Redeemer, my friend, my Lord and my God and I worship him and love him with all my heart!!! "Be Thou My Vision" is one of my all time favorite hymns, and when I sing every verse of it to myself throughout the day, my heart and spirit and vision are lifted to heaven and I glory in his goodness and power and almighty LOVE! He was born of immaculate conception to Mary, lived, ministered, was crucified for our sins, and was resurrected on the third day. I seek to follow Him and pattern my life and heart after his and strive to seek his guidance and protection in all I do! I love the Bible and believe it to be the word of God and study and ponder it regularly! In my life, my evangelical Christian and Catholic friends and family have been on the same page on those points.
It's like the hateful, judgmental individual saying there are different Jesus' didn't listen to a word Dallas said.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I have appreciated every moment in the Chosen. Its beautiful depiction of Jesus Christ and his apostles has fostered a new opportunity for people to learn about the life that Jesus lead and encourage more people to read the scriptures! I love and believe in Jesus Christ and his role as Savior and Son of God, and his atoning sacrifice to provide us with grace, and opportunities to repentant and be redeemed. I think that even though there are some differences in reilgious practice and interpretation of the bible, Jesus Christ would expect anyone that believes in him to share his love and kindness with all, especially those who do not share your own beliefs. Uniting and uplifting others needs to happen more than the wars of words that are so commonplace these days.
The content of the show is about how Jesus taught that his words were for everyone. The rich, the poor, the wise, the shepherds, the tax collectors, the Jews, the Sadducees and everyone else! So, I think we can all know Jesus and be part of his gospel. That is always a personal journey and He knows our hearts, our actions and whether or not we are a Christian. I love the work you are doing and how it impacts me and others, Dallas! Keep up the cause and thanks for explaining your thoughts and love for LDS people!
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I also love The Chosen and the way Dallas and the other writers have portrayed the Savior and his teachings. I love your comment about "Getting to know the real thing." "The real Jesus." I love the scriptures that speak about Jesus and getting to know him and his teachings better through the scriptures blesses my life, and makes me a better person. I feel the Spirit as I watch The Chosen and thank all those involved for this wonderful show.

@@jeffschlueter1660 amen brother
Jesus said "I am the way, The truth and the life, nobody comes to the father but by me". Joseph smith is a false prophet just as Jesus had said it. Muhammed is also a false prophet and many more that followed.
Matthew 24:24
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Salvation is by the grace of God so that no man can boast.
Lds members belive that they will become gods when they die. They will inherit new planets, they believe that Lucifer is brother of Jesus. They believe that their garment and underwear will protect them from fire. Its a cult and if you are not in it they dont like you period. Actually lds members from slc believe that they are better than lds members from other states/cities. On Sundays lds members dont say hi to non members, they completely ignore you. I guess those teaching of Jesus to love your neighbor as yourself dont apply.
I follow Jesus Christ, the Great I AM, the alpha and the omega, the first and the last and not made up cult which is LDS cult.

Here is true LDS doctrine not your internet stupidity
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.
@The Chosen Thank you for being so careful not to exclude any faith tradition. I see this show as one of those things that helps us come to a "unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God". Ephesians 4:13
I've never liked the idea behind saying "We don't believe in the same Jesus". Obviously, there is only one Jesus of Nazareth who inspired the writing of the NT. I feel it is much more charitable to say "We don't believe the same things about Jesus". It acknowledges differences without delegitimizing the other person's faith and experiences with the Savior.
Well said!
Thank you so much for all the hard work you and all the crew put into The Chosen. It is so awesome and so needed. You have such a humble, caring spirit about you! Stand firm!
Hi Dallas. And all in the comments. I am a “born again” LDS. That’s just my own personal label for myself. I’m not very eloquent. So I’ll just say that The Chosen is beautiful. It has played a huge role in bringing me back to my own personal faith. I agree with you, as well as just about every comment that has been shared, regardless of faith. I love the unity in these comments. I love the spirit I feel when I watch The Chosen and practice my own personal faith in my life. Thank you for taking such great care to make this show so moving and powerful and authentic. May God bless you and your family.
The show may be a "tool" or a "step", but to me, it is Wonderful. It shows the strengths and weaknesses of the disciples, and reveals our kind, loving, winsome Saviour, Jesus the Christ. It points us back to the Bible, and brings the Gospel to life. Keep up the good work, Dallas. I am looking forward to diving into Season 3.
How about you turn your television off because that’s why it’s called telly vision programming get it programing and spend that precious time praying or sticking your face in a Bible television is a lie it’s there to deceive us and no true Christian would ever dare watch that program. This man kissed the pope‘s hand the pope he is antichrist and he’s kissing his hand no man on this earth can forgive sins only Jesus Or the most high you are falling for a Satanic agenda please I beg of you turn this off
These are not real or biblically accurateportrails. Dallas said in an interview here on CZcams with Melissa Dockerty that 95% of the show is not found in the Bible. So, the show isn’t a tool. It’s just Dallas‘s ticket to Hollywood and he got it deceiving Christians in the process. The Lord will say to Dallas depart from me I never knew you. He is lukewarm and God was few him from his mouth. Dallas is a heretic. This show is not from God but from the devil himself. Wake up you are being deceived. Mormon LDS and Christians do not love or worship the same Jesus. Their Jesus is a created being an spirit brother to Lucifer.
@************************************ this exactly. That is probably the greatest offense. This show is taking the lives of real people and changing their stories to fit what Dallas wants them to be.
LDS here. I love our Savior and the way Jesus is depicted in The Chosen. As Christians I think we need to follow the Savior to the best of our ability and support one another in our efforts to get closer to God.
See, the Joey Witnesses and Morm Cultists are just doing bidness ($$$.$$) MONEY - MONEY - MONEY.
I was taught long ago by a most unexpected teacher whom I never forgot the counterfeit money analogy. The Truth stands on it's own merit and does not need defending. For over 2000 years there has only been One Truth, One Word and One God.
I truly pity non believers, especially for those L.S.D. folks (not a typo - L.S.D.).
See it would be the same thing as if I went into a public bathroom and took a dump, and then when I came out I would proclaim: "The Angel Maroni came to me while I was going doo-pee and gave me the 'Book of Brian'.
You believers that have been following the one Holy Bible forever got it wrong. Now you have to read my 'Bible' - The Book of Brian so that you can have Eternal Salvation.
After I totally convince my 'followers' that they are Church obligated to fork over 10% of their gross earnings to the Church, I never have to work another day in my life!
So many people have proven that L.S.D. Mormy Cultist Book false, it befuddles me how many intelligent, smart thinking people with high I.Q.'s actually believe that crap.
Those L.S.D.'s are so freaking gullible, they actually believe that they inherit other planets after they die on Earth... O.M.G. 🙄😝

@Ace Spades If you're being judgmental of others, and thus not following Christ's direction to "judge not", how can you call yourself a Christian?
@Ace Spades Jesus says I am. ( John 13:34-35, 14:15) Are you a follower of Jesus?
@Ace Spades opinion, not fact.
Dallas, first of all I love your name. I named my eldest son Dallas. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching The Chosen and have felt the Holy Spirit several times enough to bring tears to my eyes. To watch the your depiction of the Savior Jesus Christ has made Him so much more real for me. I've always had belief and a testimony of the Savior but watching his life via The Chosen has grown my love and appreciation for Him. One thing you said in this video that creates question is the encouragement to make your local church group or pastor a point of scriptural clarification. I've thought about this many times, but the reason there are 46,000 different Christian churches is that every paster or church leader has their own perspective and historically what has happened is that when someone disagrees with a certain perspective of doctrine they break off and start their own church. It's just a shame, because as Christians we know that there is only one Christ, and one gospel and yet because of different interpretations of scripture there has been division, contention and separation created despite all agreeing to worship the Savior. Other than that one simple thought I agree, respect and appreciate everything that you said. It is not for us to judge, but only love as the Savior would do.
I'm a huge fan of Dallas Jenkins and all who are involved in the production of this awesome TV series. I dare say that it's the best TV series ever made. My family and I eagerly anticipate each new episode. 😍
I’m so sorry you have to deal with this as you’re so very busy getting this beautiful series out there for us all. This world needs to chill and just enjoy the real story of Jesus and his ministries. Dallas, you can’t keep everyone happy and focused on The Chosen, that’s not your job, it’s their choice to enjoy. Don’t question yourself, you’re doing beautifully. Don’t change a thing. We love you and appreciate your hard work. God bless you all in this amazing series.
I agree!
Marcia Olson well said 👏👏
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am pretty sure that the Jesus I love, follow and serve is the same one that is being portrayed on CHOSEN (the Jesus from the scriptures). I have visited SEVERAL churches and got to know them at a deep level (long story), and I'm always surprised at how much gossip and energy goes into criticizing other people's beliefs (maybe because Christians are still learning how to love and respect one another, just like at the time of Jesus). I love the show CHOSEN, and my family and I will keep watching it. I also think that we have to pay attention close attention to "division and contention among churches" because this is not the Lord's way.
I hope the Second Coming happens sooner than later 😅.
But the LDS believe Jesus is a god not God Almighty. To deny the divinity of Christ is no small error. How do you reconcile your beliefs with the 1st and 2nd century beliefs of the martyrs of the Early Church? What you believe is different from what they believed, what the Apostles taught, and what their disciples taught. First generation disciples of the Holy Apostles, such as Polycarp, Clement, and Ignatius. Nevertheless, love of Jesus and of God, and acknowledging the Holy Trinity is not a bad thing, it is a very good thing, and in these things there certainly is common ground.
We are told to test the spirits to see if they are from God. We're not told to just live and let live and be one, happy, "Christian" family. In the case of LDS, the spirit isn't from God, and your beliefs are just a little different, they're heresy. It doesn't matter which Jesus you think you're following, when you start right off the bat by saying God is an exalted man and we can be like Him one day if we do everything right. Nah.
@@jeffschlueter1660 I thought the Chosen was about building faith, not about attacking each other's faith.
@@dr.j5642 We believe that Christ is the God of the Old Testament, the New Testament, Today, Forever, the Creator, the Redeemer, King of Kings, the everlasting God, the Healer, the Lord of Hosts, the Savior, our Advocate with the Father, the Sinless, the Lamb, the Holy One. We do believe that he is God Almighty and divine.
@@jeffschlueter1660 I have tested and have found LDS fully in line with Jesus and scripture. Holy Ghost powerfully witnessed. Those who genuinely know Christ, know when he is in other contexts. Just as the apostles recognized the messiah but the Pharisees did not and shamed the followers of Christ as following a 'false prophet'. History repeats itself
Can't everyone leave this very kind, loving Man alone and stop expecting him to explain himself over and over again, he has a wonderful gift of making this Beautiful Series about Christ... Just let go of your petty prejudices and enjoy "The Chosen"
I appreciate your humility, your faith, and your work. The enemy will try to discourage you and discredit you. That battle belongs to the Lord, and I hope you will not continue to apologize as you do your best to spread the Gospel. The Chosen is an amazing project! Thank you for also offering it to the masses for free!
One of my absolute favorite things about the Chosen is how it connects all of Christianity! It helps each denomination remember how much, much smaller our differences are than our similarities - our love for our Savior Jesus Christ and His life that brings us all together! Thanks for the unifying effort!!!
It was Jesus Christ himself who corrected John who was making similar accusations (someone not appearing to be the same faith)
..."for whoever is not against us is for us."
Mark 9:38-40
@@azhotmom what John said was, "we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons IN YOUR NAME . . ." The Mormon Church believes that Jesus was a great prophet. They may even agree He is the Son of God BUT they DO NOT BELIEVE Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose on the third day and conquered death so that we might be BORN AGAIN. This is the CORE belief of the Christian faith. Jesus was the sacrifice for sin. They are very deceptive when they talk about Jesus. They do not believe in THE NAME OF JESUS. They do not. They are followers of their man-made Prophet, Joseph Smith. Whatever is in the Book of Mormon is greater than what is in The Bible. The FINAL AUTHORITY in The Mormon Church is The Book of Mormon. Working with the Mormon Church is not like Catholics working with Baptists. Wake up.
@@misshoodsschoolbuslife1871 I’m so sorry for the confusion. I’m not sure where you’ve heard or read these lies but let me help clarify.
“Mormons” or “LDS” (these are nicknames) are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Yes, the same Savior that paid for your and my sins and arose on the 3rd day. That is why the name of their church has the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, in its name. I believe Satan tries to cause division by confusion but this is one that doesn’t make any sense to me. If you ever get a chance, go visit their church. You’ll see very quickly they believe in Jesus and worship Him as their Lord and Savior.
I ask you to please stop sharing incorrect information as it only adds to Satan’s desire to cause division among us Christians.
But don’t believe me, go check it out for yourself.
@@misshoodsschoolbuslife1871 my how confused you are and not sure where u get your facts. We absolutely believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. We absolutely believe he paid the price for our sins on the cross and we celebrate his resurrection which occurred 3 days after his death. Not sure why we have to tear each other down. I have friends of many faiths and love them all. Why can't we get past the hatred and focus on what's truly important and that is Christ. We do not worship Joseph Smith in any manner. The Book of Mormon does not Trump the Bible in any way and is a companion to the Bible. In the front of the Book of Mormon it states that its another testament of Jesus Christ and written to prove to Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ. One of my favorite scriptures in there states, " there is none other name given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved." Of that I say Amen. By the way I don't want to argue. We all have the God given freedom to believe and practice how we want which is such a blessing that many don't have. Let's work at building each other up and not tearing each other down due to our differences.
@@jeremypreston1593 the Bible doesn't need another companion. That is heresy. Jesus Christ does not need another testament. I got my facts about The Mormon Church from a representative of The Mormon Church. I stand by what I say. The Mormon Church is not a follower of Jesus Christ. The Christian community does not recognize Joseph Smith as one who meets the same criteria of those who the Holy Spirit spoke through as they wrote the New Testament. Joseph Smith was a very troubled man. There is no need for further discussion. I believe The Mormon Church is a cult. You will not convince me otherwise. Enough said.
Amen brother!! I was raised Pentecostal. My dad was ordained in the Assembly of God. Through you and your show I have come to a deeper appreciation of my brother and sisters in the LDS. Thank you 👍👍
The LDS believe a false gospel and false Christ. They reject the trinity, they believe God was once a man and through enough good works we can become like him, and they believe Jesus is lucifers brother.. It’s a false religion with unbiblical beliefs. The Mormons are not our brothers. Sadly. We must call on them to believe the one true eternal Christ that saves purely by grace through faith. No works. They need the gospel. They are not our brothers, but they can be if they come to the true Christ. Pray for the LDS and point them to the true savior, because right now they are outside of Christ
@@johnb542 Jesus loves you. Only God can judge a man's heart.
@@littlehuguenots And God has spoken on this which is why I care so deeply for the Mormons to repent and believe the true Jesus. They believe in a completely different Jesus than the one in the Bible. They have an infinite amount of gods too.. they believe we can become gods.. I don’t hate Mormons at all, I love them which is why I want them to know the truth. They must repent and believe the true Christ and true gospel
@@johnb542 I was raised Pentecostal. Should I judge another brother from a denomination because they aren't of my denomination. Some denomination allow consumption of alcohol. Pentecostal teach drinking alcohol is a sin. They believe smoking is a sin. There are some that believe these action will keep you out of Heaven. Some teach once saved all saved. Pentecostal don't believe that. Some don't believe in speaking in tongues. Does that mean these others don't have a relationship with Christ. Dallas was only speaking of those LDS who where his friends. I'm not going to pass judgement. That's God's job. My job is to show love. Just my thoughts. I'm not always right. Love you my friend.
@@littlehuguenots that’s good reasoning if the LDS were in fact another denomination.. that’s what I’m pointing out. They’re a completely different religion. I encourage you to watch apologia studios videos here on CZcams to learn more about Mormonism and how they aren’t just another denomination. Love is necessary, but sometimes correction is the most loving thing you can do which is all I’m doing
Our family loves the chosen! It really brings the Bible and Jesus to life! Dallas you are doing Gods work! Never stop!
I am LDS I love Chosen some episodes touched me because how Christ it's being portrayed sometimes I have some tears thank you for your work ❤
Do you believe you will become a god and rule over a planet
Does the LDS believe Jesus is God?
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), and I love the work you do. All that matters to me is that your work is helping people, in general, come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. And it’s doing that.
Same! I second this
Same
Amen!
Same :)
It’s all about Jesus!
Truth is always revealed if we wait and watch. Stand strong and thank you for your commitment to bring the Gospel to everyone. God's Blessings on The Chosen!! ❤️
Adding to the Word of God carries a heavy price...
Every. Single. Episode has rocked my world. I honestly believe that you have captured Jesus and his following in a way that is changing lives. That really is what it’s about. Changing hearts and lives I believe that is Jesus’ mission. Now ours. For us to now go and stir the water. I have not heard anything against what I know in Gods word. You show us in every episode that Jesus / Holy Spirit meets us where we are. God bless you in continuing to reach the list through The Chosen. It has helped me in my relationship with God and with others. ❤
I am LDS and I love the show! I love how Christ is portrayed. Thank you!
I'm curious if you would agree that you believe in the same Jesus as Biblical Christians?
Do you believe that Jesus is the Eternal God and there are no other Gods before or after him? (Isaiah 44:6) Do you believe that going to heaven is through faith alone by God's grace? (Ephesians 2:8-9) Or do you believe that "through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel"?
The answer is of eternal importance. Paul wrote to the Galatians that those preaching a gospel other than the gospel of grace are preaching a gospel that damns. (Galatians 1:6-9)

“Saved” has many levels. A person can be hungry or starving. A wet rag can be damp or soaking.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I would like to share a few truths.
1- Jesus saved us all, no matter what we do, from death. Everyone who has ever lived will be resurrected. It requires nothing of us. Grace alone.
2- There are many degrees of glory of Heaven. There is broadly, “Heaven,” and even more specifically, there are varying glories to which we can be resurrected to based on how we lived our life. Our desires, intentions, behavior and obedience to the will of God determines which glory we will be restored to. Paul described it, “40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption;” answering to your question, “by obedience to the laws…” is referring to the laws of which glory. Paul also mentions “the third Heaven” in 2 Corinthians 12:2
3- We love the Bible and believe the Bible. The “biblical Jesus,” required ACTION and effort in all things. Here are a handful of examples which include warnings, qualifying efforts or situations surrounding “saving.”
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7 (24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock…)
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
Mark 8
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10
Words Jesus used which require personal effort:
Enter
Seek
Knock
Ask
Receive
Follow
Love
Preach
Feed
Trust
Believe
Endure
Pray
Repent
Faith
So much more! These words serve a purpose. Our desire to obey the will of the Father makes a huge difference. Jesus taught us to submit to His will. We must become sanctified and be clean to be able to stand in His presence.
4- We believe in God, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. There is no other Savior, no other God we worship- nor ever will.
Satan has a goal to divide, confuse and bring misery. Members of our church are hated without cause. I pray to the same God you do. I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I do my best to repent, repent, repent as I work to walk as Jesus walked. He showed the way.
Sitting at a new Bible study, where everyone was introducing their religious background, I saw many faiths represented all holding a Bible in their lap. Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic, baptist, etc… they were all welcome. But when I shared the church I attend, I was not welcome. I had no problem with anyone else’s religion, Jesus wants us to gather in His name. He promised, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
The varying differences in the details of a religion do not need to stop us from uniting as brothers and sisters in Christ. I will continue trying to gather with all I can in His name and fully intend to feel His presence. I pray anyone with ears to hear, will hear.
Love That! Very Well Said.
You are NOT LDS.
It sounds like PTSD. Or ADHD.
You are not even a Mormon.
You are a proud member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints.
I am a Roman Catholic. And you are my sister in Christ.
@@amygarner879 there are those who will be resurrected to everlasting life and others to everlasting contempt. We will not "all" be resurrected to life.
As a Latter-day Saint, I just wanna say thank you for this, and thank you for the awesome show you've given us!
I just want to ask you if you believe that Jesus Himself is created. Or, is He an Eternal Being Who had no beginning? You can't believe both ideas about Him. The Scriptures don't support His being created. They do support His being the 2nd Person in the Godhead. All 3 in the Godhead are eternal and have always been.
By the way, you don't need the Book of Mormon. It denies the authority of the Bible. All of the doctrines in the Book of Mormon came from a fallen angel that is destined for eternal punishment in the lake of fire, and he well knows this. Fallen angels will lie every chance they get just like the being they serve, satan. He is the father of lies.
I'm curious if you would agree that you believe in the same Jesus as Biblical Christians?

@@bubbly_eeyore interesting bc Mormonism is an entirely DIFFERENT faith then Biblical Christianity. It's not even considered a denomination of the Christian faith by Christians. Nor is Catholicism.
@@karaa7595 Christianity by definition is, “the religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices.” Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are taught based on the teachings and person Jesus Christ is, meaning the example he set for all of us during His mortal ministry. Thus, members of The Church of Jesus Christ who are truly living according to the teachings of the church are in fact Christians and strive to follow the very Jesus spoken about in the Bible:) I think as we take the time to educate ourselves on all different religions, we come to find out that we’re actually a lot more alike than we are different! hope this helps:)
Dallas, well said. It is so easy to parrot what others say, especially taken out of context. I was brought up (sage words from my parents) believing “if you have nothing good to say-it’s probably best to keep quiet” plus the Proverbs have a few things to say on the subject.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints l can attest that I am 100% Christian. I thank you Dallas for creating The Chosen, a series that touches me deeply. Your ministry is worldwide and while that’s quite an accomplishment it’s also quite a balancing act. Your handling it with love and grace.
God bless you🙏
No ur not. Jesus never came to north america. There is no proof that he did. Joseph Smith was a con man.
Christian is a benign term. Do you follow Christ or not? It isn't my place to judge and I am faaaaar from a scriptural or religious doctrine theologian but numerous stated concepts from Joseph Smith are entirely contrary to scripture. That isn't to say that all LDS hold all the same belief set but at the very top of outspoken concepts is that many in your sect would say that God isn't the one true God but a god of many gods and once a man and that through our journey we can reach godhood. The concept of Jesus being a spirit child of God (like the rest of us mind you, with him being the first) is also suspect. I struggle with the concept of those like "you" who truly do believe that Christ paid the penalty for our sin, even though once again it is stated as our own sin and not the sin of our forefather Adam and that through works we might be attoned by our obedience to laws. That part of your articles of faith. It is only by grace and repentence we are saved as noted in scripture. Children of God will be known by their fruit, not forgiven by it. Joseph said that you have to accept Joseph in his Doctrine of Salvation.He also questioned the inerancy of scripture in the articles of faith. Clever wording denotes you believe it but know it couldn't be translated completely correct. And let's be honest here. You have Christ walking the earth and a ministry of apostles shortly before creation of cannon but people between the millenium and a half had it all wrong because Jospeph smith hadn't arrived. That's just as unscriptural as Muhammed. Christ was the fulfillment of prophesy. Neither of the other two or others bear any weight or substance. Lord bless.
LDS are not Christians, your gospel is twisted,, and sad to say that LDS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS.
