The Chosen Cast Religions In REAL Life!

- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- Many of you must have wondered whether the cast and the crew of a show about Jesus actually follow Christianity. Since The Chosen is a TV production, working with an all-believer cast and staff is impossible. But still, people are free to expect a cast that believes in what their characters represent. Wouldn’t it be surprising to learn the guy who plays Jesus is an atheist? He is not, but that would be considered disrespectful by many viewers. I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t have a discussion about this subject. Are all The Chosen cast members Christians? Let’s analyze it in detail.

Remember the series is not the real apostles. They are actors.
We know gurl.
You don't say.
fr? i didn´t realize
So they're not over 2,000 years old?? Dang. I feel like I've been lied to.
I feel like she said it because people tend to idolize actors
Don't assume anyone's faith. Dallas has said that "quite a few" of them have accepted Christ since working on the show. Dallas is a very strong evangelical Christian, as are many others I've seen discuss their faith. God can use those people to influence everyone on that set at any time. I have noticed changes in a lot of them in the way they respond in interviews- they may just not feel comfortable discussing it publicly. A person's faith can change in a heartbeat.
That’s very true! Jesus can call us in a heartbeat! It may seem in a heartbeat to us but He had predestined us to be His own since the creation of the world. What our finite mind cannot conceive, Jesus planned from the beginning but will happen at a point in time for us, even most unexpectedly or unceremeniously at times.
Yes, but Dallas has done some pretty awful, shifty things all for the love of money and control. And that isn’t cool.
This was a crowd sourced project. We were not supposed to have to pay for this other than if we contributed to the crowd sourcing venture. These programs were supposed to be put on an app that anyone could download and watch anywhere in the world and in their own language. If churches wanted to stream the programs using the app to create a theater like setting, they could do that. They weren’t supposed to charge any money, but the idea was that local churches would be doing that instead of movie theaters.
Dallas Jenkins wasn’t supposed to start a separate company and he wasn’t supposed to be making millions off of something already bought and paid for.
He kind of swindled the original creators out of that; and claiming they had the right to distribute and make money off of other platforms, including for fee streaming services or in theater via Fantom.
Just in the opening weekend of distributing those first three episodes in the theater, they made over $40 million!
It makes me so angry that they are showing a few episodes for $14 a pop at the theater in my town. They know they have a fan base so they can release it early and people will pay. There have now been three different showings that have come out of this latest season. I will not go to it, but my mother and two sisters do. When I think that they have now spent $126 total - $42 each - to watch something kind-hearted people contributed to so it could be freely given - LIKE THE GOSPEL - it really angers me. I think it angers Jesus, too.
You know, so let’s say they just wanted to distributed in theaters because they thought more people would see it. That’s kind of a dumb assumption, but let’s pretend that. They still chose to charge $14 for each ticket! It didn’t cost that much to distribute. If they had done this on a nonprofit basis, it would still be bad, but not as blatantly awful.
Anyhow, to read about people praising Dallas Jenkins as he can do no wrong bothers me immensely. There are a lot of people in the church who just know how to market themselves but then they do really crummy things behind the scenes.
@@toritori5835I don't get the complaint. Like if you want to watch something early pay for it or be patient and wait until it comes out for free . Its not scummy whatsoever. What you want is unrealistic. Early seasons had no problems like this because not much was done in them but as it gets further it gets bigger and bigger and more expensive unless you want the show to look bad. I would not be surprised if Dallas realized that he does not have enough money when the walking on water scene happened and that was just one scene. 14 dollars is not much.
@@toritori5835 The production cost per episode is $5M. Christ made it clear that I am in no position to judge.
Dallas thinks that Mormons worship the same Jesus. You know, the people who believe that Jesus is a created being and Satan‘s brother
There is a difference between "feeling close to God and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Now my dear chap, where in the Bible can you find that? Nothing against our black or black American brothers and sisters, there are indeed some very fine Christians in their ranks. But Jesus is no more black or African than he is Swiss or German or "Wasp" American.
And even if he weren't the Messiah (but he is) how comes Cesare Borgia into it?
Sorry, see my answer below. It somehow got into the wrong place@@THXGODITSOVER
@@santa_claus-north_pole : I think any THINKING, person should agree that it sounds ludicrous to think that Yeshua was praying to Himself, and considering Himself both Father and Son. Yeshua was/is a Son of God in much the same way as we are sons and daughters of our Earthly parents. Also meaning that we are ALL, Sons and Daughters of God as well, which is something else, He tried to get people to understand but they never grasped even, to this day, sadly and shamefully. The Holy Spirit is an enigma to say the least, and something I wish I understood better myself. Not sure if Jewish belief had this concept or anything like it or not.
My Best. Out.

I am Pentecostal myself, and I have Catholic family members. Two are devout, but the other two have fallen away from the Lord. Please pray for them. I guess you could say that I was sort of Catholic for a few months but never fully initiated. But still view us all as one body in Christ.

To me now Yemenite Jews are officially the people who has the most gorgeous voices in the world. Gotta love and listen em ❤

I love this show so much! It is helping me excited about being a Christian again!! God Bless Dallas, the cast and crew, and anyone who has helped make and distribute this series!!
Jonathan Roumie is NOT A CHRISTIAN! To be Catholic or any other, does NOT MEAN they are Christian! A Christian is one who acknowledges they are a sinner and that ONLY CHRIST CAN SAVE US FROM THE WRATH OF GOD. To satisfy the wrath of God, JESUS died for all sinners!
They must trust ONLY IN JESUS FOR THEIR SALVATION.
JENKINS KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT EVANGELICALISM BECAUSE HE DOES NOT PRACTICE THE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE. HE GOES WHEREVER THE MONEY COMES FROM…AND THE FAME!
I don’t think we can say that about Roumie. I think only God gets to make that judgment call.
When it comes to Jenkins, though, that is something a little easier to see.
We know he made a separate company when he wasn’t supposed to and used it to swindle the original creators.
We know that he is making millions ($40 million the first weekend alone of season 4) off a crowd sourced project THAT WAS ALREADY PAID FOR!
We know that these programs were supposed to be free, that anyone the world over could download an app and stream it. It wasn’t supposed to be distributed on Amazon (or elsewhere), making money!
We know that the reason they didn’t distribute in theaters is because they hoped churches would show it in a theater-like setting projecting from the app. They just weren’t supposed to charge money.
That is why people contributed to the crowdsourcing campaign, *so that it could be free, just as the gospel is free!*
Dear Anastasia, you're right by saying everybody must trust in Christ for their salvation and let's hope the actors and everyone who is involved in this show (crew, cameraman, helpers, etc.) will see this. But we must also consider that there are many true believeers also in Catholic churches and many not so true in protestant or evangelical ones.
About Jenkins we must see how he behaves as a Christian also away from the set, in his home and private live, etc. Before we know for sure we can't judge people. As for the money issue it's true the show is meant to be free, but that doesn't mean the production thereof is without costs Just consider all the settings they have to use and the participants have also to live on something. What's more the sets are to be translated (some even vocal) in as many languages as possible. I sincerely hope the crew doesn't do anything imprudent that will jeopardize the free streaming.@@anastasiaburr3959
@@toritori5835 The crowdsourced funds only paid for the first two seasons. They've had to figure out how to produce the show for five more seasons in a financially sustainable way. 48 million seems like a lot of money, but that's a shoestring budget for a production of this scope. A comparable Netflix show like Stranger Things costs 270 MILLION dollars per season.
It's MIRACULOUS that The Chosen has the high level of production value it has, on a 48 million dollar budget.
@@anastasiaburr3959 please look into the history 🤦🏻♂️ evangelicalism has only been around maybe 200 years at most… it’s insane that you think it’s superior to Catholicism which has been around for thousands 😂 read the early church fathers. Read history. It’s all well documented. Catholics are Christians. You don’t get to say they aren’t just because they aren’t evangelical….
I'm evangelical Southern Baptist who is very interested in apologetics too. Personally, I don't think it matters what religion the cast members are since they should be hired based on if they can play the role as well as if they look the part (Romans should look more Roman, Israelis should look Israeli, etc. as well as around the correct age). God works in mysterious ways, so working on the show can lead people to Christ. Hopefully, that happens for everyone. It's happening to some viewers, so that's excellent.
A little bit related, in Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, an atheist name Luca Lionello who played Judas Iscariot, he converted to Catholic after his experience in the film itself. It was heavy.
I’m Roman Catholic and I love the cast diversity, it reaches more people this way. I’m glad Roumie is Catholic though 😊
Love listening to him on the Hallow App. He's easily my favorite speaker, and hearing him say the Rosary every day is a blessing. ✝
Agreed!
LOL what a thing to say and claim to be Catholic
Same !
Unity in diversity in the Actors religion & nationality have come together to make Jesus' message real & alive!!!! ✝️❤🙏
Great comment! 😍
Hope the legal circumstances resolve soon keep praying 🙏!!
amen
Regardless of that, I think it’s important that Dallas Jenkins come clean and do the right thing.
This whole venture has been crowd sourced. Everyday people contributed money to the campaign so that it could be seen and distributed for free.
It was supposed to be downloaded to an app so people could stream it for free. And it was designed so that churches could project it from that app so that if people wanted to see it in the theater like setting, they could do that.
It was not supposed to be distributed to streaming services or to movie theaters so that Dallas Jenkins could make millions. For the first weekend of season four, he made $40 million off that release. It is insane that a person have to pay over $40 to see the three releases for Season 4 ($14 a pop at my local theater) when it is supposed to be free.
And it was wrong that Dallas Jenkins created a separate company in order to get around the stipulations of the show being a non-profit venture. The gospel is not supposed to be a for profit enterprise.
So that’s what this lawsuit is about. Jenkins said nothing to the original creators, Angel Studios about creating his own company and then claiming that that company could distribute the show.
Of course, part of the reason he did that is because the original creators, Angel Studios is run by two Mormon men. And he knew that Evangelicals would have an issue with that. so that was his way of being able to claim that it is not a Mormon production, creating this separate company. He’s been incredibly dishonest, but putting on this face as though everything is on the up and up. It’s not right.
@@toritori5835ok. But I’m the end he is really working hard and trying to make it free so stop.
@@toritori5835 There are more complexities to this than what you are presenting. Non-profits cannot distribute royalties to members of the board without causing issues. The Not For Profit is there to allow for donations to be made to help continue to make this free. We are considering the same action so that we can donate our childrens's books. For the time being we are a for profit ministry, but the only reason we are for profit is so that we are not controlled by outside sources that coudl derail what we feel God is leading us to do. We are not out to make millions, but last I checked my mortgage company doesn't just let me stay in my house for free.
Last I checked the studio and sound stage that was built, the camera operators, the actors, producers, distribtion house all have employees that need to eat, pay mortgage or rent.... Just because something is profitable doesn't mean that it isn't Gospel driven. It is still free. Our church is showing a few episodes this weekend, free of charge from the Chosen and free of charge to the viewers. No offering is being taken and no admission is being charged. You shoudl see if your church is offering it and if not they should look into it.
totaly agree. Dallas Jenkins needs to stop hiding and come clean. It is not going to do him good to hide anything.@@toritori5835
I personally think nothing would be disrespectful in portraying the story of Jesus; instead, this shows the beauty and Jesus' act of love for us.
It reminded me just like how it was written in the Bible, that He makes his sun rise and sends rain for everyone.
As God works in a mysterious way, so who am I to judge?
But what I do know is I feel really grateful for the show production as it helps me and has helped me along the way of my life as a Roman Catholic.
So, I prefer to focus on how this impacted my life and hopefully yours too :)
Jesus blesses and loves us all!❤
PS: I do really like your videos so much! Thank you for your kind effort!
It's really special to know that the actor who plays Jesus is an actual Roman Catholic! Also lovely and wholesome to know that a few of the actors have been converted to the Faith whilst working on the show. Love The Chosen, only up to the 6th or 7th episode, but have been and will continue to watch a couple of episodes each night. The show has certainly given me a better perspective of what the Scriptures say, and I have to say that The Chosen is officially my favorite show. Have to also say that Jonathan depicts the character of Jesus so well, I almost believed that Jesus Himself played Jesus, before I found out its just a man who portrays Jesus just how I imagine Him to be.
I think it’s pretty cool and interesting how diverse the religion of the cast is
You got new Philip? Whyyyy, I love the old Philip 😭
Thanks for the video. I believe that Alaa Safi (Simon Z) is also Muslim (or at least brought up as that). I think Abe (Big James) is Christian. Jordan (Little James) I think doesn’t have a faith (yet) and Noah James is a secular Jew. I don’t think he has a faith (yet). Kirk Waller (Gaius) is Christian.
I could be wrong about these but thats what I’ve picked up in various videos.
Little James said in interviews that he is christian but like Noah he doesn't practice that much
I wonder if there will be any conversions after they prepare and film the crucifixion. Watching that happen and being right there, although a re-enactment, I imagine would be very powerful to connecting to what Christ went through for us.
I loved the video. Who is narrating it? It kind of sounds like the actress who plays “Eden” to me? I’ve been fortunate to see all of season four, some of it twice, at my local theatre. And hopefully it will be streaming soon so that everyone has a chance to watch it.
Aaaw thank you! I'm definitely not the actress lol. But I write & narrate these videos :)
Saya suka The Chosen. Saya menunggu hadir di Indonesia dalam app The Chosen. Menunggu musim ke 4
Just for clarification, 'it's been asked if the show is a 'Mormon' production...'; the short answer is 'no'... However some of the places used in production are properties of the church, used for various projects in addition to The Chosen. Also the word Mormon is the name of a prophet for which the Book of Mormon is named, and the frequent nickname for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
(I'm a member of the Church, not an official spokesperson.)
Yes, but Angel Studios and the gents who launched everything are LDS. And Evangelicals, in particular, get up in arms about that.
So what happened is that Dallas Jenkins created his own little company for two reasons: 1) to white wash the question of the origins of the project (as it started as a project) and 2) to launch the possibility to claim distribution rights so he could make a boatload of cash. He knew it would be a legal issue but knew whatever he pays in it, he’ll still have made countless riches beyond whatever it costs.
Evangelicals are very concerned that Mormons are going to make money off of this venture when in reality the person making money off of it is Dallas.
The creators of The Chosen crowd sourced productions costs. They were then going to download the series to an app. People could stream the series using the app anywhere in the world. As well, it was thought that if people wanted to see it in a more theater-like setting, local churches could do that via the app. So the two Mormon men who started this whole shabang were doing it as a non-profit venture.
But after creating his own company and claiming distribution rights, Jenkins has sold the series to streaming services like Amazon. And he has distributed it in movie theaters through Fathom Events. Did you know that the first weekend in theaters (with the first three episodes of season four) made $40 million? That’s not going to production costs or two actors or crew. It’s going to Jenkins and the company he founded.
So that’s why there is now a lawsuit.
Frankly, Angel Studios did a wonderful thing putting this out there. I’m a Christian, though no longer an evangelical. And I know that LDS theology is different in various areas. But when it comes to the Gospels, it’s the same. The ministry of Jesus during his 33 years in Israel under Roman rule in the 1st century is the same. So I don’t understand why Evangelicals get touchy about it.
Mormonism is not biblical and is a cult. You’re best running away from it and never looking back. Focus on Jesus
@@toritori5835 Because Mormons do not believe Jesus is God. They believe he is a created being, totally separate from God, and a brother to Lucifer. They believe he was raised to godhood because of his sacrificial death. The Jesus of the Mormons is not the Jesus of Christianity.
@@AlydiaRackham Excuse me, but where do you find this information? As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we believe, like most Christian denominations, in the Trinity. In God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit, beings who at the same time share the same purpose. Jesus' divine mission here on earth was part of God's Plan before the creation of this earth. Thinking that Jesus Christ is totally separated from God is something completely far from reality. I respectfully invite you to investigate the doctrine of the Church through reliable sources and not be carried away by false prejudices :)
We as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and, We believe in God the Eternal Father and his Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ is the central God's plan for his children to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. God reveled his identity through his Son Jesus Christ and their oneness in purpose.
This was very helpful and interesting--thank you!

I am deeply saddened that your people are being discriminated by the muslims so much. Hope one day you can live in peace.
Angel studios has a connection with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! (The Mormon faith) which is centered in my home state, Utah.
a kid from my school passed away this year due to cancer, and was visited by the chosen cast. They are wonderful people, and I cannot wait for season 4!
No Member of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" but still the show is aligned to the True Gospel of Jesus Christ very aligned in my Faith as a Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints🥰🙏 God Bless
I'm a faithful member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints and I just love love how this follows the new testament. It is so beautiful and many many members of our church.. which we are 100% Christians... Love and support this show. Please be kind of you respond.. it's what Jesus would do.
I hope the ones who don't yet believe come to believe!! Praying they will!!
Hard to believe they are so close to the story and would not embrace the truth. God is at work though.
God can use anybody ❤
I love this. I knew Roumi was Roman Catholic, but cool to hear the others beliefs since they are on a very religious program. I will say I am a confirmed Anglican but practicing Catholic, ( and my kids are lutheran( Swiss reformiert) )
As a “Mormon” thank you for clarifying lol. We did not produce this show but we do really like it so we promote it a lot
The LDS church is non-trinitarian and heretical. You are NOT a christian.

Paras Patel is a Christian. Jonathan Roumie was Greek Orthodox which is one of the largest sects of Christianity in the world and now is he is part of the Roman Catholic Church. The Coptic Orthodox Church is Christian as well.
God brings us together
I think Lara is one of the few real "born again" Christian of the bunch. (John3:3-7)
Pray that the whole cast gets saved and worships Jesus in Spirit and in Truth 🙏🏾
Well that’s definitely not true. Jonathan definitely is
@@liamblumeris6933 Half the internet fights over whether one should be a born-again Christian or a Catholic Christian, and the Jonathan Roumie shows up and says
"I'm a born-again Catholic Christian."

And eveyone goes -
"What just happened?"
Gaius is a strong believer as is Zebedee, as you can tell from their interviews. They are born again, and so is Jonathan. Their confessions of Christ are clear.
What about Nathaniel? and Gauis?
Matthew isn’t Hindu
It is so sad that some actors talk about God but they are not Christian after reading the Bible and getting to know God more. Hopefully they become Christians eventually
God is KING
it’s not a problem necessarily, it would just be nice if the people playing these parts fully understood the gravity of what they were playing God uses everybody though 🤷🏾♂️
It my real prayer that more of them come to Christ through this show. It is very interesting to see Jews who arent Messianic portraying Jews who were. I bet they have some interesting personal stories
I'm curious why you decided to dig into what their respective religions are. What religion are YOU?
I think Jordan Ross who plays little James is a Christian. He has a you tube channel and interviews some of the cast
Love Chosen! ❤️
Love you Jesus Christ ❤️

This movie just totally touches my heart and spirit ❤ ✝️ 🙏 I just hope that everyone in this movie finds the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen and Hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤❤❤
2nd: I know many are disturbed that Mormon associations and Church play a significant role in the whole production. Some even claim that Jenkins himself is of Mormon origins. I'm myself not so confortable about this, but as far as I can see, this doesn't influence the film itself. I haven't encountered as yet scenes that go against intrinsically and orthodox teachings about the Christian faith.
True, I took information about J.Smith and the Mormonic teachings via Wikipedia and I don't like much what I read. But we have to consider that nowadays Mormons are at least the sixth generations (since about 1840) and may have different views today or are maybe just as "agnostic" or noncommittal as many of ourselves. Especially as they have their own State in the U.S. - very patriotic at that. So there could just as well be many seekers after the truth there.
Mormons are no seekers of the truth. Being the 6th generation doesnt mean they dont believe in the basic believes anymore. This is no Christianity
Hey there! Just wanted to say, Wikipedia is the worst place to get info on them. Some of what’s on there may be true but honestly, a lot could be wrong or twisted as it is a website that can be added/edited by anyone with info on any given subject. If you want the real info on them, go to the church website. There’s a lot of information out there that’s not correct so it’s usually better to go to the source. Also, if you are referring to Utah as their own state in the US, ha! Yeah it’s full of members and there are members in state government and such but good joke!
There are many Christians and Christian churches especially in North-Eastern states and Southern states of India. Thomas the apostle of Christ came for his missionary work in the state of Kerala in South. So you'll see Indian Christians since generations with Christian names too ✝️❤️
Do the characters have "groupies" or fans that love them like a rockstar? I was just wondering if they have to fight off their admirers? lol
the togetherness ❤
I love that despite the divisions of Christian faith, the fact the story of Jesus has united to telling his story faithfully is in itself a miracle.
Those script writing sessions I could only imagine how awesome they must have been to see those three guys work on it together with all their combined knowledge.
never questioned they are good actors that's all
What about Mathew? He is fantastic!
Alaa Safi (Simon Z) is a devoted Christian
That's sad...luckily, they will be preached in one way or another
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT??????? SHAHAR DOESN'T SPEAK OF THIS AT ALL IN INTERVIEWS. ONCE WITH DALLAS AND YOU COULD TELL HE WAS BOTHERED THAT DALLAS MENTIONED IT. WHY COVER THIS?
Why are you shouting? Calm those girls down please and thank you. Some hills are not worth dying on.
Jonathan is NOT an Atheist!!!!
Calm down and re-listen to what she said. She said she was kidding but they as actors and how they believe should be discussed.
You should really listen before jumping to something.
You said that like Greek Orthodox isn't Christian, and it's not Greek Orthodox, Greek is just the jurisdiction it under, like Roman Catholic.
Even with Catholics and coptic orthodox as well. Mary Magdalene's actor was Christian but the rest?
becasue catholicism isnt christian its pagan. Catholics can be Christians but that religion is not Christian. Christianity was created in the middle east not europe.
@bellacortez Catholicism wasn't created in Europe either. Headquarters are in Europe, that's true. Maybe next time, tell Peter not to go to Rome since you have such a big problem.
@@bellacortez Sorry to say but you dont have a right to say who is a Christian and who is not especially to people who believe in Jesus Christ.
In any other aspect of Hollywood, the use of non-Christians in Christian film/series portrayal would be considered cultural appropriation or bigotry.
It's true that many take offence that on the Chosen not all of the actors aso. are dedicated (or even evangelical) Christians. But let's be honest: In all the biblical productions we've ever seen, from Ben Hur to The 10 Comandements are we likewise so scrupulous? Did we ask if Charles Heston or Jules Bryner were Christians or at least religious? What about Pasolini's black and white production of Christ? He even was an atheistic communist. The same goes by the way for productions not necesessarily biblical, but dealing with faith issues. The diverse Narnia films. e.g.
Besides, the crew itself is highly influenced and touched by the films itself. Just consider the the stories of Nick Shakour ("Zebedee" by the way).
Genuine question why do you Americans think communism is a bad thing
@@joshuajohn74 It's not just about Americans, it's about Christianity in general. Communists and Christians typically don't get along for a number of reasons. They have a few similar goals about helping the poor, but that's about it.
@@gunsgalore7571 capitalism and chrisitnaity are in two opposites though theyve got absolutly nothing in common
@@joshuajohn74 No, capitalism and Christianity have a few points of conflict, but they do line up better than Christianity and communism. The reason why is that most forms of Christianity recognize private property. In other words, Christianity recognizes that people can and should own their own things rather than everything being owned in common.
Take, for example, how Christian charities work. Rich people who own a lot of things willingly give some of those things to poor people, and now poor people own those things. The rich people have a right to their property, no one can take it from them, and they must give it up willingly. And even after they give it up, it does not become everyone's, it now belongs to the specific poor person that they gave that thing to, whether it was some food, money, clothing, etc.
In communism, no one owns anything. Everything is owned by the collect. This is totally different from Christianity, which has private property.
Don't think that capitalism always means the same thing. It is not always greedy billionaires on private jets. It is also mom-and-pop feed stores, welders, mechanics, etc. It's anywhere where people own their own things. Even if the rich people willingly give lots of their stuff to poor people, it's still capitalism. In this light, Christianity is inherently capitalistic,
@gunsgalore7571 genuine question but is any of the things you said from any of the 4 gospels or are they from the sub books
Parass Patel is not a hindu guy. His born and brought up from Christian
Bardzo ciekawe! Daj znać, dzie o tym czytałeś, interesuje mnie ta postać
Why are all 3 seasons of The Chosen now in a foreign language??? I go back and rewatch them quite often. Now I'm not able to do that 😢
I noticed that too. But in the app look around and you will find options for different languages. You can return it to English. If that's the language you are looking for 🙂

Same
Iam coptic orthodox
Good thing I know how this ends .... should have made sure all the ducks were in a row before any episodes of all the seasons were ever released
I love this show so much
It doesnt matter these people believen in jesus or not as what ive read from the comments here, the fact is these people have strong opinions and respect to Jesus and thats important.
Why did they get rid of the old Philip he was awesome 😢No offense to the new Philip I haven’t seen him yet. 🙏🙏
Well jonathan (the guy who played Jeus) is a well known Christian
And Mathew ??????
I've heard he is hindu
he is probably a hindu
Christian or not doesnt matter each character plays a perfect role and justifies their abilities and role
so i think this how do we trust the author of this when Jonathan has proclaimed his love for Jesus and that he is a Catholic ...right now it seems that all the vultures are out because this made a break into just being religious ...what a harmful way to try to betray with this
Listen to it again- she says “What if he was an atheist” but quickly follows with he’s not and mentions he’s a Roman Catholic later on.
Wish the actress playing mother Mary was a catholic or at least a Christian. I don’t get a good vibe off her. Mary in the passion was so good.
Yes, I find her acting lacks conviction. If you are a believer, you would dig deep into your faith to deliver the lines as they would mean something.
Did she say Jonathan is atheist? He most certainly is not! He is a devout Christian Catholic , he’s the spokes man for hallow
No, she did not say that.
wdym the new philip dont tell me thy reacasted him i love the old one😢
Seems more like christlum than christianity.
I don’t get it. The Catholics who, as far as I know, do not accept Christ as the savior. They believe he was a man who lived but they say he just taught nice things… please someone explain
The Roman Catholic Church, as we know it today, was an offshoot of the early church started by the 12 apostles. The Catholics affirm the truth and infallibility of the Bible, but add more theology to Christianity through the inclusion of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which makes unfounded claims unsupported and refuted by scripture. This includes the principles of Papal authority, divinity of Mary, and works based salvation. CZcams pastor Mike Winger does a very thorough job of explaining the History and heresies of Catholicism. Just look up “Mike Winger Catholicism”
Not at all. Catholics believe Jesus died for our sins just like all other Christians. 😊
I am a catholic we believe Jesus our xavier .Jesus crucified and died for our sins.The catholic believes this and teach .pls refer Creed before you assume.thx and God bless
The central dogma for the Catholic Church is the divinity of Jesus
I think you're thinking of Jewish people. Catholics very much believe in Jesus' divinity.
I think anyone can pretend/act any character but I do think if the actor is affiliated with his role more intimately then he can portray it better. If you want a real authentic performance it makes sense that it’s easier if the actor is similar to that role in real life. It’s easier for a real life jerk to act like a jerk in a film lol.
omg where is she getting this info! WRONG WRONG WRONG, the man who plays jesus is a STRONG catholic okey! And some of the others are wrong as well.
they even let a hindu play the matthew.
Austin who plays Nathaniel is open about his secular views
hmm like Christianity your thumbnail is misleading.
I’m a Messianic Jew ❤
The first 4 seasons were absolutely produced with Mormon funds, so you’re wrong on that to some extent
These are just actors making a show that happens to be about Jesus. I know some people think they are all Christians but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
They shouldn't use people who don't believe in God, the real God
They couldn't find all Christians... goodness❤
No, we don’t like Simon character.
So why not get Christian’s to play these roles😀
Skill is more important
