I got my husband’s (muslim) family watching this show. I’m so happy to share that my husband will be baptized this Easter. The show only caught his attention and triggered his curiosity. He’s into Bible study and praying.
That's amazing! Welcome to the family of Christ! Blessings!
Miracles ❤
I’m a recruiter for the Chosen❤
Amen!
Thanks for sharing how God has used this show in your family Praise God!
Man, I wsh like mad that they'd consider a follow-up series based on Acts. Seeing the Early Chruch thrive, seeing Paul show up as a persecutor and then his conversion... could be amazing.
Been thinking the same thing. Having the factual and in plausible betweens treatment that they've given The Chosen, it would be just as powerful! We the viewers need to be requesting this like mad and maybe Dallas will hear us on it!
Would love this!. Covering the first century of Christianity could show us how it all began and humble and educate many of believers.
No. I am exhausted, trying to see SEASON 4,--IS ALL!!! LOVE "the Chosen." Just feel IGNORED AS A PERSON OF DISABILITY. I CANNOT "DO" THEATERS. IT'S TOO MUCH WORK, WHEN YOU LIVE WITH PAIN, AND " GETTING PLACES. YIKES! ***I DON'T GIVE A HOOT IF DALLAS IS AN EVANGELICAL--SO IS MY BEST FRIEND, OF 25 YEARS!I COME FROM A FAMILY OF CATHOLIIC CONVERTS --WITH A CHILDHOOD SPENT AS A BAPTIST KIDDO! A MIXED LIFE OF BELIEFS...
They might tease it given this is only season 4 and there's going to be a total of 7 seasons.
Too difficult and complex--- Making a film about ACTS. Early church, etc.....
Great interview! I LOVE THEN CHOSEN…NO COMPLAINTS HERE… IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE…DALLAS …I PRAY DAILY FOR YOU AND AMANDA…I know you both must be exhausted…please know you and your family are covered in prayer…Blessings!
Been a Christian my whole life, and this show made me want to read the entire Bible because it got me so hyped. I read it in its entirety last year :) Such a beautiful show.
Dallas Jenkins said that 95 percent of the content in the Chosen show is not in the Bible? Why not just admit that this is true because Dallas Jenkins has said it? I think that is an accurate assessment of the show.
It is only 5 percent Biblical and that is according to Dallas Jenkins. I’m not sure why this is even a debate when the creator of the show is actually making a true statement about the show being 5 percent Biblical. No other statement or video can be made defending the show when Dallas has already spoken about the show not being Biblical.
What about the Sermon on the Mount? How can Jesus be asking for help with His Sermon? How can Jesus rehearse? Jesus cannot make mistakes. Why does Dallas think that is ok?
Messianic Prophecies: God claimed he fortells the future, especially about who the Messiah will be in the Hebrew Scriptures. “Declare to us the things to come, tell us what the future holds, so that we may know that you are gods.” (Isa. 41:23) “Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the Lord?” (Isa. 45:21)
Peter - Acts 3:18,22 those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren (Deu 18:15)'. Jesus - John 5:46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. Luke 24:44,46 Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me. This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day
Birth/Life - As Moses had to escape infanticide, and was made to return to his land, and as Moses turned water to blood as his first sign and commanded the sea and fed many in the wilderness, so was Jesus, and as Moses established the memorial of the slain lamb to remember their deliverance, so was Jesus.
Messiah would be a prophet (Deu18:15), a priest (Zec6:13); called King (Ps2:6), declared the Son of God (Ps2:7); Messiah would be God (Isa9:6) born in Bethlehem (Micah5:2); born of a virgin (Isa7:14); come from the line of Abraham (Gen22:18), Issac (Gen17:19), Jacob (Num24:17), from the tribe of Judah (Gen49:10), heir to the throne of King David (Isa9:7); come before the destruction of the second temple at AD 70 (Mal3:1). Ministry begins in Galilee (Isa9:1); Will heal the blind, deaf, lame and raise the dead (Isa35:5); Will teach the people using parables (Ps78:2); enter Jerusalem on a donkey (Zec9:9); usher in a new covenant (Jer31:31)
Crucifixion - As Joseph was betrayed and sold by his own and later was exalted, so was Jesus. As Moses lifted up the bronze serpent so that those who look to it are saved, so was Jesus. As Psalm 22 & Isaiah 53 describe crucifixion and as the Passover lamb which was to be eaten and its blood on the door saved them and as the sacrificial lamb symbolized the atoning for sins, so was Jesus. As the high Priest in the tabernacle sprinkles the blood of the sacrifice on the golden mercy seat in the holy of holies, so was Jesus.
betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Zec11:13); be rejected by His own people; pierced & atone for our sins (Isa53:3-10) and bring an end to sin (Dan9:24)
Resurrection - As Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, so was Jesus' resurrection from the dead on the third day. As Issac was to be sacrificed on the third day and was delivered from death, so was Jesus.
rise from the dead (Ps16:10); become a Light to the Gentiles and all nations (Isa60:3); worshipped by all nations (Dan9:14)
@@knw397SHE SAID SHE READ THE BIBLE FOR ITS ENTIRETY, where did she say that the chosen is all true? She went out of her way to read the bible. Stop cause a divide. We don’t need this especially
In this time. Focus on yourself, and continue to be bring others closer to the faith.
@@lewisballs3 We must know what is the truth from the false. I hope she read the Bible and found out that the Chosen show is false when compared to the Bible. That is what The Word of God does, it separated truth from error. Many times in the Bible we are told to beware of false teachings. Please read Jude as an example. Many more examples in the Bible.
Hearing a sermon about the reality of Jesus got me to reading the Bible!
I attended a Conservative Baptist Seminary. When The Chosen first came out, my wife, of 40 yrs, was recovering from major surgery in a nursing home for 60 days. I watched the first season by myself. When she got out I rewatched it a second time, with her. I enjoyed it many times more that second time. I HIGHLY recommend this to get the details, once you know who each character is. GREAT series. Thanks be to God for using Dallas in this series!
sick!
Amen
I’ve watched every episode of every season so many times now not only can I recite most of the lines as the actors speak them, but also I can accurately jump to certain kinds of scenes I want to rewatch. If I want to rewatch forgiveness scenes, calling scenes, conversion scenes, healing scenes, whatever. I don’t need to find compilations on CZcams. When Season 4 came out, I watched each set of episodes twice, on consecutive Fridays and Saturdays. I would have gone three times had my schedule permitted. I will watch them all again on the app on my TV first time straight through, Second time with closed captions and any which way I choose thereafter. Now that I know the final three Seasons will be released one per year, I can relax, rewatch, and reread to my hearts content. It wasn’t until the credits rolled on episode eight on Saturday for, as cast members and others involved have stated, this is family, returning to the set is like coming home. When the credits roll for the last time, even though everything can be rewatched, the sense of ‘home’, as first ‘home’ will have changed. Funny, isn’t it? I’ve read the bible cover to cover and the Gospels many times. Over the three year cycle of the Liturgy at church, I’ve heard most of it again in the 25+ years I have returned to the faith. It’s not like I don’t know the story, even though there is more to be understood, seen, and felt with every revisit, there is an undeniable, incomparability, a specialness to a first time.
@@janegyorgy5458 SAME!!! I rewatch the same way and saw every season 4 episode twice. I can watch the whole season in one sitting in theaters and I would not get tired or bored!
Oh for sure! I rewatched every episode at least 4-6 times because with each family member I would introduce to it, I would sit down and binge watch it with them. I would pick up something new EVERY SINGLE TIME! Something I missed previously. I don’t know any show that is as beautifully written as The Chosen! And now that I’ve learned he’s Jerry B. Jenkins SON! Mind blown! Makes total sense because I was enthralled in the Left Behind books in the early 2000’s!!
I love the fact that you watched The Chosen and made your own opinion about it. My husband and I have been watching it and love it! It definitely has us reading our Bible’s and digging deeper in the Word. We’ve also been able to recommend it to coworkers who were not believers, and they have come to know and accept Christ after first watching The Chosen and then plugging in to our local Church. God bless you both, and I look forward to seeing you soon on an episode Allen.
If you have really been digging into the word of God the chosen will bother you greatly!! The apostle Paul warned us about 'another Jesus' in 2 Corinthians 11:4 and this definitely qualifies.The Jesus in the biblical text is different from that in the chosen.The chosen is doing everything to conform to the worldly standards. Really sad! Just because it is entertaining and evokes emotions doesn't make it the gospel!! READ the Bible.
@@Atemoneoftheothersno one said it was the gospel. So you’re condemning someone’s coming to Christ because it’s not the way you feel Christ would’ve shown Himself to them?

No I am concerned about a different Jesus than the biblical one presented to the followers of the show. The gospel is the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection.The real Jesus!@@rachelwelch1
@@Atemoneoftheothers, how is the Jesus in “The Chosen” that different from the actual Jesus? I submit that the show challenges the preconceptions that people have of Jesus, particularly in regards to the incarnation and the hypostatic union. People are upset that he doesn’t fit the exact picture of Jesus that they have in their minds. There are aspects of the Christ, particularly in regards to his humanity and the limitations that he had while in the flesh, that people don’t understand. I recognize that it challenges our pride and ego to realize there may be things we haven’t thought through or didn’t know. We have to be humble enough to admit that there may be things that we have misunderstood or that are more assumptions than actually based on scripture.
I put my 10 and 11 yo Grandsons in front of the 2nd season of The Chosen and asked them to watch a couple of episodes. I had to take their sisters to their sports and after I came home they watched the whole season. They loved how human Jesus was and how he said things that made them laugh. Thank you and God bless you.
That’s wonderful. Anything to bring someone close to Jesus warms my heart.
Do not be unequaled yoked with those who are unbelievers! 2Corinthians 6: 14-18 . This means not to bind yourselves in business relationships that could cause them to compromise their faith.
❤ Agree with you & Scripture.
How is that unequally yoked, they are hired to work for the the boss. They don't have the final say on business decisions, but they sure do a great job in their profession. Paul also said we must of necessity have relationships with unbelievers because we live in this world. You are taking scripture out of contest.
LOVED THIS GENTS!! THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH FOR A WONDERFUL CONVERSATION... TOTAL CLASS! GOD BLESS ALL.
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! I've been a born-again believer for 57 years and absolutely love The Chosen! Jesus has been with me in every stage of my life. Now I'm a widow and all the children are grown and gone. The Chosen brought me the authentic Jesus I know at this season of loneliness. When I was watching the very first episode, it seemed that Jesus came and sat down next to me and placed his comforting arms around me. Until I experienced that I didn't realize how lonely I was!
I truly believe this show is anointed!
Thanks for not skirting the controversies and allowing Dallas the space to clarify.
Blessings!
Beautiful deep dive into the world of The Chosen. Dallas remains consistent with all he said since the inception of this amazing series. Thank you both for your time and service to our Lord. Really enjoyed this.
Yes, consistent in his deception.
I loved the open conversation between you two and the obvious love and respect you show one another. Regardless of how people feel about The Chosen, you two model Christ in this interview. Well done!
Great interview Allen. That reference of Nicodemus bowing before Christ is one of my favorite scenes in the show. The words were so beautiful I went to my Bible to see if it was there or was it the writers'. Straight from Psalms 2:12. I felt that Jesus was introducing mercy and grace to Nicodemus who was addressing him from a law follower perspective as he knelt. I truly enjoy the Chosen. The actor who plays Zebedee is very clear in his testimony that he came to saving faith in Jesus as a result of being on the show. That one precious soul who is now growing and another witness of the Greatness of our God!
Love this! Comming from a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Thank you! We love and support you Dallas. We do follow the same Jesus. Now that you are have fame...I hope you do realize how much people can criticize the church and promenate leaders of the past. So many false narrative out there. It's a shame. I'm sorry you're getting some backslash. God is with you! Thank uou for providing the most important story to humanity. 😊
This interview ameliorated a lot of concerns I’ve had about the show and Dallas as showrunner. Thank you for conducting this interview!
Me too. I think I'll give it a go.
Thank you for having Dallas. I love the Chosen and its brought the Bible to life. But even Dallas says it isnt a replacement for reading the Bible so its sad when people critisize the show
Please Allen Parr don't forget your first love. Stay humble and true to your calling from Yahweh not your calling to the world.
Amen, well said.
I too will be praying for Allen to remember his first 💕 Love.
I think that he can identify with Dallas on the subject of public criticism and that's why you see an empathetic response leading to actual endorsement. But he needs to leave his emotions at the door and turn to the wisdom he has received from God.
He wants a role in the show so one must do what one must do to make their dreams come true!
Allen can capably still do his ministry and do a PT movie role or extras position. I hope it comes to fruition.
false!
He's toast. Selling your soul to gain the world.
Hello Pastor Allen and Dallas wonderful show very blessed by this today ,you can see the The working through y’all you’ve been so gracious and kind to one another great to see how you both were Christlike.God bless you all and Jesus is king ❤️🦋🙏

One of the better and more candid interviews with Dallas I've watched. Helped me see him as more than a distant series producer/director. Amen, Praise God, and Thanks :)!
The Chosen has stirred in me a hunger for The Word of God. I love The Chosen. Thank you Dallas Jenkins for this incredible show.
Same!!!
I love the show
That should be the job of the Holy Spirit in you, not a secular show. This show is not a christian show. The more bible you read the more you should recognize that by discernment. Sorry but entertainment is not a motivation.
@@Atemoneoftheothers that's 100% a lie. It's not a secular show. The holy spirit is using this show to minister to others
Apparently you have never heard that the Lord works in mysterious ways. It's not for you to tell me how it should have happened. Im told how it did happen. I didnt ask for approval or an opinion. I stated what The Chosen did for me. God can and does use whatever He wants to, to draw people closer to Him. You are so focused on condemning when you should be rejoicing for Christians that are drawing closer to the Lord.
The Chosen is a great show. Can’t recommend it enough. Great interview, too.
YES!!!!!!!
We love the Chosen! It is such a BLESSING to us and to millions others. God bless Dallas and the whole crew and cast. We thank God for the wisdom, the creativity God has given you, you are blessed and you bless us!
Thank you for the most intelligent, comprehensive interview w/Dallas to date. Just yesterday I was trying to give a defense of the writing etc of the show, to someone who had read a commentary written by someone else 🤦🏼♀️ I’m so grateful for the timing of your interview, and to be able to share it with people - ‘straight from the horses mouth’!
Continuing to pray ✝️🕊️🕎🛐 for the writing team as you embark on Season Five, Six ✝️💔💔💔 and Seven 🕊️♥️🙌🏻
To GOD belongs the praise and glory.
Thank you so much for this wonderful interview. I got sucked into believing some negative comments. I will watch the show in addition to my morning bible study. Thank you both for showing love and kindness to those who may not believe yet.
For the past 60 years there are more sermons and teachings about the “Holiness of God” and “Holiness of God” and they are now available online. I’d would suggest those instead of shows today that are depicting Christ.
“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul?”
”What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.“ Philippians 1:18
Your ministry has grown so much. Which makes me happy. When I first started watching you it was a much smaller audience! God is working.
Satan's working too...
Scripture that says the size of followers is a fruit of the spirit of god… we will all wait
I love you two. This was a beautiful conversation. I love the chosen, it really inspired me to read the bible more. God bless Dallas Jenkins. Thank you Pr. Allen for this. Love you all❤
Thank you so much for this conversation. I appreciate TheChosen so much. I am LDS and love this great work. I deeply feel the goodness and the bringing of many to a deeper relationship with the Savior. It sparks so many important feelings. I know this has brought many to search the scriptures. There will always be detractors who pick things apart.
But for me, I love the that the cast is so amazing together in showing the struggles and human emotions we all have. It is thought provoking and spiritually uplifting and we can’t say that about a lot of entertainment in these times. But this is more than entertainment. And I just wanted you to know how grateful I am to see how many people it has touched for good.
It’s bringing people back to the scriptures and showing a tenderness of how deeply Jesus loved his disciples and those he encountered. I know how deeply He loves us and wants to bless us.
This wonderful project
Let’s us ponder many good things.
Many thanks.
The Chosen changed my life and I’m so grateful ❤ It brought me back to reading my Bible and having a closer, deeper relationship with God than I’ve ever had. Bless you Allen and Dallas!
JESUS by the power of the Holy Spirit changes lives for real. Not a TV show. This is precisely what is wrong with this show and it's most devout watchers. READ your BIBLE
@@Atemoneoftheothers It’s really sad you’d rather condemn my actions than celebrate me giving my life to God. I can guarantee there was only celebrating in heaven! It’s “holier than thou” judgmental Christians that drove me away from the church the first time… I won’t let that happen again. I know there’s no changing your mind and there’s certainly no changing mine - I will respectfully agree to disagree with you about The Chosen.
Jesus changes lives. No entertainment show can do that. Read your bible. This is not a judgmental statement. It is a fact and biblically accurate.
Also in general every time someone says they left the church because of others I wonder about their salvation.Romans 8:38-39 . Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, no tv show. I hope you come to understand that.@@jenmaul316
@@jenmaul316I mean , he’s not wrong. Don’t let a show blind you , but read your Bible , sincerely .
@@jenmaul316 Many say Christians are judgmental but I am curious, as I did not have this experience. What was judgmental about them? If they are speaking biblical truth and you did not like it it is not their fault, but maybe there was more to it?
So appreciated this conversation, thanks so much for the authentic and deep questions and comments. I had several friends tell me they learned new things. :)
Lion of Fire RAW has done a response video to this interview. It’s worth checking out.
In at least two interviews you said that 95 percent of the content in the Chosen show is not in the Bible. I think that is accurate. So why try and say this is the “authentic Jesus”? More and more people are have stopped watching and are seeing that this show is not Biblical. And you have even said it yourself. 95 percent (in your own words) of the show is not Biblical. Stand by that word and accept that.
It is only 5 percent Biblical and that is according to you. I’m not sure why this is even a debate when you (the creator of the show) are actually making a statement about the show being 5 percent Biblical. No other statement or video can be made defending the show when you have already spoken about the show not being Biblical.
What about the Sermon on the Mount? How can Jesus be asking for help with His Sermon? How can Jesus rehearse? Jesus cannot make mistakes. Why do you think that is ok????

@@annaj6512 That’s not part of the conversation. If you have a question about how unbiblical this show is I would be glad to answer.
If your LDS friends love the same Jesus you do, they have either departed from the teachings and doctrine of their church to accept the correct Christian teachings and doctrine about Jesus, or you have the wrong Jesus.
100% fact
As a born again believer and actor I'll tell you we have been warned to not even submit for auditions unless we are tithes paying temple recommended LDS members. This is 100% a mormon production usining a shell company just like they do for so many unethical business dealings. The top cast may not be LDS but ANY speaking roles make it clear non mormon need not submit.
@cock9820 Where is your proof for this? They aren't even associated with Angel Studios anymore...
Right! and as far as I know, none of the actors or writers are LDS. Dallas has been in the "evangelical" world for a long time so how could he secretly be Mormon?@@Evenmoresteven
@@timpeacock9820LOL! Provide proof or show yourself ashamed.
I was so mad when episode 3 of season 4 ended ...thinking Jesus would definitely have healed or resurrected his faithful follower, that I stormed out of the theater and went on another you tube channel proclaiming I would never spend another dollar on The Chosen again. As time passed and I thought deeper, I realized (and Dallas elaborated here) Jesus didn't heal John the Baptist...or try to prevent his death in the first place. Dallas is a brother in the Lord doing his best, and I for one appreciate how The Chosen is making me think about scripture. I can't wait to see the next three episodes in theaters hopefully tomorrow!

@knw397 I heard him make that comment . I forget the context, but no matter anyone who has watched the TV show knows that it is a TV show and Dallas constantly reminds viewers of this and that "it is not the bible". However Dallas also says that he is portraying an "authentic" Jesus. Viewers should expect the 5% (a rough estimate I am sure) that does portray scripture as biblical. I think it does a good job of that. Have you ever read the message version or the New living translation of the bible, which is actually a paraphrase? They are not word for word from the original languages but try to give an accurate understanding of scripture. As a new Believer I only read the NLT as it was like "milk" for me until I was ready for more meat. This is sort of the way I see the show.
As for Jesus rehearsing the Sermon in the Mount, we all bring in our own preconceived notions of how things occur in scripture. Dallas actually said in this video that scholars have wrestled with the Hypostatic Union for many years, and the answer to that probably won't be found in a You-tube comment. One of the things I love about the Chosen is that it forces us to think a d read our bibles.
@@garypowell6190 Thank you for your comment. Starting off with the comment about it doesn’t matter when anyone who watched the show knows that it is a T.V. show and Dallas has said “it is not in the Bible.” Yes, Dallas has said he is trying to portray the “authentic Jesus” which the show does not portray.
If Jesus could possibly “mess up” on His Sermon’s then His divinity would come into question as well as His Humanity.
And that brings us into the definition of Hypostatic Union. Also Dyophysitism, and Miaphysitism?
Hypostatic Union, Dyophysitism, and Miaphysitism are views of the person of Jesus regarding the divine and human natures. Let’s start with the correct view.
The hypostatic union is the correct doctrine of Christ. It is the teaching that in the one person of Jesus are two distinct natures: the divine nature and the human nature. These two natures are distinct but are united in the one person of Christ. The two natures do not become combined. They are not mixed together. They are distinct. Yet, the attributes of both natures are ascribed to the single person (communication of the properties). The hypostatic union emphasizes the one person of Christ with two natures. This is within orthodoxy.
Dyophysitism is essentially the same thing as the hypostatic union. However, where the hypostatic union emphasizes the one person with two natures, dyophysitism emphasizes the two natures as one person. This view is within orthodoxy.
Miaphysitism, also known as monophysitism, states that the two natures of Christ were combined into a new, third nature, a divine-human nature. The two natures lost their distinction and are now combined. Another way of looking at it is to say the two natures fused into a new third nature, the new divine-human nature. The problem with this position is that the new divine-human nature is neither divine nor human. It is a new third thing. This means that the continuity of the second person of the Trinity, the Word, is broken. But, this is problematic because the properties and identity of something are related to the nature of that something. If the divine nature ceases to be a purely divine nature, then the attributes of the divine nature cease - along with the identity of the person. This violates the immutability of the Trinity as three eternal and distinct persons. So, the idea that the divine and human natures combined into a new third nature violates the doctrine of the true incarnation and invalidates the atoning sacrifice.
Outline Summary of The Hypostatic Union, Dyophysitism, Miaphysitism
1. The Hypostatic Union
1. Jesus is one person with two distinct natures: the divine and the human.
2. Emphasis on the one person of Jesus with two distinct natures, divine and human.
3. The two natures of Jesus are inseparably joined in the one person of Jesus but remain distinct. They are not mixed or combined into a new third thing.
4. “hypostatic union In theology, the union of the two natures, divine and human, in the one person Jesus Christ. It was defined at the Council of Chalcedon (451) to affirm the personal unity as well as the two natures. This reality is a divine mystery.” (McKim, Donald K.. The Westminster Dictionary of Theological Terms, Second Edition: Revised and Expanded (p. 156). Presbyterian Publishing Corporation. Kindle Edition.)
2. Dyophysitism
1. Jesus has two natures in one person.
2. Jesus has two natures, divine and human, that co-exist in the one person of Jesus. The two natures remain distinct from each other, but are united in a single person (hypostasis). The two natures are in union in the one person without mixture, confusion, or change of the two natures.
3. Emphasizes the distinction of the two natures in the one person. They coexist in the person of Christ.
4. “Dyophysitism (Gr. dyo, “two,” and physis, “nature”) The view that Jesus Christ has two natures, a divine and a human nature, inextricably united. This position was accepted by the Council of Chalcedon (451) and the Council of Constantinople (553). It contrasts with Monophysitism.” (McKim, Donald K.. The Westminster Dictionary of Theological Terms, Second Edition: Revised and Expanded (p. 95). Presbyterian Publishing Corporation. Kindle Edition.)
3. Miaphysitism
1. Miaphysitism is also known as monophysitism. It is the teaching that Jesus has one nature, not two. The one nature is a composite of both the divine and human natures. There is no separation or distinction between the two natures. Therefore, it is a new third kind of thing, the new human-divine nature.
2. “Monophysitism (Gr. monos, “one,” and physis, “nature”) A christological view, regarded by the early church as heretical, which taught that Jesus Christ had only one nature rather than a divine and a human nature that were united in one person.” (McKim, Donald K.. The Westminster Dictionary of Theological Terms, Second Edition: Revised and Expanded (p. 202). Presbyterian Publishing Corporation. Kindle Edition.)
CARM material.
As was stated before, if Jesus could possibly “mess up” on His Sermon’s then His divinity would come into question as well as His Humanity because Jesus being 100 percent God and 100 percent Man was not able to “mess up” a Sermon. And anyone saying otherwise is against Jesus. There was no possibility of Jesus sinning when He was tempted. Even though He was tempted like we are tempted.
Our Compassionate High Priest
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:14-15
I’ll continue this on another comment as this one comment is long.
John the Baptist wasn’t supposed to be healed. Jesus was not supposed to heal him. His death made way for the coming of Jesus and his earthly ministry. John the Baptist’s death was the fulfillment of prophecy. It had to happen. For Dallas to use this as justification for allowing a fictional character to be graphically killed shows that he is biblically illiterate and doesn’t understand the difference between prophecy and senseless killing. John the Baptist was a prophet, who proclaimed the gospel and the coming of the Messiah. He wasn’t supposed to live after Jesus came.
@tyeishaleisure Saying that Dallas Jenkins is biblically illiterate is a bit of a stretch in my view, but you are entitled to your opinion. I am unaware of any prophetic scriptures that said John was to be killed, please let me know where I can find one. Thanks
Great interview! I appreciate that The Chosen on several levels. 1) it does bring me back to scripture, I always have questions to dig into. 2) all I want to consume is biblical based media anymore, when God gave me a new heart I stopped caring about mainstream tv or music or media. So I very much enjoy a show that makes me think about what it would have been like to walk beside Emmanuel. It’s made me more interested in learning about historic Jewish customs too. And overall it’s a Far better option than the nudity and sex that even “family” tv deems appropriate for viewers of all ages.
So I will keep watching with discernment…just like I do with worship music and online media and books.
And the show deceives the unsuspecting.
Dallas Jenkins you sir are amazing with THE CHOSEN, it really brings me closer to God, and the crew is so professional and amazing, so heartfelt, I have gotten closer to God and I am so anxious to see the rest of the series, God is really revealing the truth to us through you, God has truly blessed us with you ,a trillion thanks
My wife and I love The Chosen! Some moments have sometimes gone a little too far into "showmanship" and extra Biblical content imho, and some of the things Dallas has said in certain interviews has rubbed me the wrong way, but overall we're definitely fans.
This interview was really good and gave me a new / greater respect for Dallas. Really appreciated his raw honesty. It's always good to remember that these media personalities are HUMAN BEINGS too!
Great video Allen, thanks as always!!
Yes, they are human - so why trust them?
A woman with a bleeding issue is surely relatable to any sisters who have a condition called 'Endometriosis'. Instead of 5-7 days, you get 2, even 3 weeks.
Any other such disorder makes it relatable as well- in *every* way that Dallas described.
I have listened to Dallas several times but this is one of the best interviews hands on ❤❤❤❤
I agree!! Ive listened to MANY interviews and this was new stuff!! Loved every minute of it! LOVE The Chosen!!
DALLAS NEEDS TO DATE HIS STATEMENTS, AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE RIFT THE TERRIBLE DELAY OF SEASON 4 HAS CAUSED. HE DOESN'T EVEN TELL THE POSTERS HERE, HE'S JUST SAID (LAST WEEEK) SESSON 4 WIL BE OUT IN '4 TO 7 WEEKS," AFTER ARBITRATION. HIS UPDATES DON'T SEEM ORGANIZED. WHAT DOES HE KNOW, WHEN IN HIS INTERVIEWS? PEOPLE JUST KEEP ASKING AND ASKING, POSTER AFTER POSTER-'WHERE IS SEASON 4?' NO ANSWER FOLLOW UP!
I love The Chosen!! I love clear honest conversations about this tv show!
I love the way Dallas and Company have brought the scenes of the Bible to life while honoring God’s Word!
What a wonderful interview with relevant words to people. Its so true that people need to be fast to listen and slow to talk for the tongue can be a venomous weapon..
Also, Dallas I have learned so much about correcting my walk in life with others for Christ thru all your talk sessions, seriously! Starting with the venomous outbreak against the lsgb humans. They and all humans need to hear and see Christ on the level that they are at, so they can grow and change lanes. You taught me that. And we all have our own prejudices about things/people/views and early family teachings. Keep going on until God changes your course in any way. Me and many others will still follow your words, teachings, and just who you are to God. Thanks in many ways.
My past sufferings have changed from mountains to ant hills so that I can help others. Thank you Dallas. We love you very much. I'm in Boston, MA and I stand for the New England community when others won't. I may not be wealthy dollar wise. But I am wealthy in God thru Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Much Love...to you, your WIFE, and all the family of 'The Chosen' 😇😃
Great video! Unfortunately though, I have learned that if people are going to hate on something, then you can explain it to them till you’re blue in the face and they just won’t listen. Because unless you tell them something that fits their narrative, they’re right and you are wrong. Keep doing what you’re doing Dallas!
So everyone who has questions about the show or it's producers is hating on it or them?
@@GH0STN0TE88I didn’t say that. But you’re doing what a lot of haters do. Taking things out of context.
I really don’t care if people watch the chosen or not. You have to follow your own conscience. I do have issues though with people who don’t like the chosen but can’t even give concrete examples other than what they read on the Internet or see in a CZcams video. It’s clear that many people who have issues with the chosen have never even sat down to actually watch it themselves.
I think you're right, there are people who won't listen to anyone; they already have their minds made up. But I do think there are people who might be on the fence, and videos like this are helpful to them. Conversations like this helped me when I was on the fence. Now I love the show, and see how it is impacting people and am so thankful for it!
"Some of these LDS friends that I have do love the same Jesus that I do." - Dallas Jenkins
Then either God will call them out of the LDS church, or Dallas Jenkins believes the wrong Jesus.
One should not question nor criticize another’s relationship with Jesus. We know not Dallas Jenkins heart, nor the hearts of LDS. Some will get into Heaven before we do.
@@pamelakyle-campbell778One should absolutely question this man & his LDS friends about Jesus because a false jesus saves No one.
@@jimboentz8305 My question to you is can you please describe this “false Jesus” that you think they serve? I hear that all the time, but no one will tell me who or what that means.
@@pamelakyle-campbell778the Jesus that the LDS worship isn’t remotely the same as Christians. For starters the LDS have Jesus on the same level as angels. They believe Jesus (and God the Father for that matter) is a created being and not eternal and not co equal with God.
@@pamelakyle-campbell778
Mormons hold that Jesus is pre-existent, but His pre-mortal form was not as God. Rather, Jesus is our elder brother from the great star, Kolob. Mormons explicitly (if complicatedly) deny the full deity of Jesus Christ.
Mormons indisputably teach a doctrine called eternal progression. They teach that God was once a man and was capable of physical death, but He progressed to become God the Father. Mormons teach that we also can become gods.
Mormons believe that gods, angles, people an devils are all fundamentally of the same substance, but that are merely at different places in the eternal progression.
Just finished watching Season4 today in theaters. Truly, this is one series that brings the Scriptures to life. It humanizes Jesus as a person ALL people can relate to. It's an amazing series that sends an extremely powerful message for ALL MANKIND.
It is fiction. Making a jesus that ALL can relate to is a false Jesus. God will not be mocked, the real Jesus said His true followers will be hated as He was hated first... Discernment isn't optional.
I love and follow the LORD and have been studying God's Word for 40 years. I am also an artist, a musician, a lover of great theater. What Dallas Jenkins is doing is hands down the greatest theater I've ever experienced and I am overjoyed to be alive to see it unfolding. I pray for and support The Chosen daily and enthusiastically and it really bothers me to read the many negative statements made about Dallas and this show by people who sincerely follow Christ. It's a good thing I'm not the one making this show; I doubt I oould handle the criticism! Dallas has an amazing amount of strength and maturity. He is so open about how God has prepared him through failure to develop the thick skin he needed to do what he's doing. He is so refreshingly open about how everything is done, so clear on the details about his affiliations, his stance and beliefs, and the nature of this business, and yet the naysayers drone on. I KNOW God is blessing this project, that there is nothing even remotely heretical about either it or Dallas himself. And may this "for profit" show profit greatly for many, many, many years to come until Jesus returns as millions and even billions of people watch it over and over and over and find themselves drawn to the Word of God because of it, and that lives will continue to be changed eternally because of the ministry of Dallas and Amanda Jenkins.
Dallas Jenkins said that 95 percent of the content in the Chosen show is not in the Bible? Why not just admit that this is true because Dallas Jenkins has said it? I think that is an accurate assessment of the show.
It is only 5 percent Biblical and that is according to Dallas Jenkins. I’m not sure why this is even a debate when the creator of the show is actually making a true statement about the show being 5 percent Biblical. No other statement or video can be made defending the show when Dallas has already spoken about the show not being Biblical.
What about the Sermon on the Mount? How can Jesus be asking for help with His Sermon? How can Jesus rehearse? Jesus cannot make mistakes. Why does Dallas think that is ok???
He just wanted to show Jesus' human side...?
@@dday3035 So Jesus being perfect in everything even in His Humanity can say “I hope I don’t mess up”? That is blasphemy. I hear a lot of people say what you say. Can you not reason in your mind that what you are saying is wrong? Any reasonable Christian will not say that. It boggles my mind. Sometimes I think they are kidding. Surely you have to be kidding. It is a sin to say Jesus could possibly “mess up” and a lot of people fall for it and agree with it.
@@knw397 1) The stories we read in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are often one sentence or at most a paragraph long. The writers of The Chosen will take a gospel story and draw it out to a whole episode or even several episodes so that we can look at that story in brilliant technicolor from all angles and really get the meaning from it that some of us visual learners need. So when Dallas says that 95 percent is "extrabiblical" what he is saying is that a bible story is expounded upon greatly in order to truly bring it forward. For instance, we get to meet Veronica, a woman who had the issue of blood for 12 years, and see what it must have been like to be in her situation. What takes a few seconds to read in the Gospel we get to see unfold over an entire episode. THAT is what is meant by "only 5 percent". 2) Jesus engages Matthew in the putting together of the sermon in order to help him (and therefore us) really see what Jesus was saying in that sermon from Matthew 5. There was absolutely nothing sinful about the portrayal of how Jesus was "working out how he would say what he wanted to say". He wasn't wrestling with "what" to say. In that scene he was simply allowing Matthew to come alongside him and see the process, to have some input more so that Matthew could engage. 3) there was absolutely nothing sinful about Jesus saying things like "I hope I don't mess up" in a kidding sort of way over little fun things. You're taking those lines out of context if you think The Chosen was portraying Jesus as being fearful of sinning when he was only joking about a possible very human "stumble" which in no way is sinful! I'm sure even our Lord and Savior stubbed his toe, got splinters, dropped a ball, etc. Since when is that sin?????? If you cannot imaging our Fully Divine Son of God Almighty also being fully MAN that's on you. But the rest of us are finding it totally refreshing to see this very very plausible and well-overdue side of our Saviour portrayed as we have imagined ever since we came to know him in the Gospel. This is the Jesus I always knew him to be. Fully God, and fully man. Isaiah says that the suffering Servant would have nothing impressive about his looks that people should recognize him as anything other than a regular person. It is what he DID and SAID that made the difference for people (or at least for people who were paying attention!). The Gospels very clearly show that he was disbelieved, dismissed, and hated by as many people as believed, even more actually. The Chosen does a great job of showing the tensions that were clearly there. It doesn't sugar-coat anything. It boggles my mind, frankly, that someone who is not a fan of The Chosen would bother to engage in these posts.
@@kmsongbird It boggles my mind that you think that this false Jesus in the Chosen has to rehearse what he is about to say. No where in the Bible does it even come close to Jesus rehearsing what He was going to say.
That is the problem that you have, you thinking that Jesus had to rehearse His Word. This is demonic and is blasphemy. What Jesus spoke was God speaking in His perfect Human Body. He suffered in His Human Body but that doesn’t mean He rehearsed His Word. That is what the devil says that Jesus had to rehearse His Words. In His Humanity He is still perfect and cannot rehearse His Word. He is 100 percent God and 100 percent Human. And in His Humanity He still couldn’t rehearse His Words being 100 percent God. You are blaspheming His Name along with everyone else who thinks that way. The end times are here and I see more and more Christians being deceived little by little. And the Jesus of the Chosen is portraying Jesus as one that can stumble… this is NOT in The Bible…. The Bible never says such a thing. The minds of people that have made up an Idol in their own minds accept Jesus can stumble…. the mind of the perverse who take the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ in vain.
And the “very plausible and well-overdue side of our Savior portrayed as we have imagined” is a perfect example of you making God in your own image because you imagine Him like this but the reality is Jesus is NOT the portrayal the Chosen makes Him out to be.
I understand wanting to be wary of false teachers as a lot of us (myself included) believe we are in the last days. But that hyper-cautious, borderline paranoid attitude can also lead to puritanical witch trials as well. Let's not canibalize our own here. Please watch the whole video and listen to what Dallas and Allen have to say.
@@knw397 Well by that logic, what you are saying right now isn't in the Bible, therefore it's unbiblicial and I shouldn't listen to it. Also, don't ever have your own conversations with your brothers and sisters in Christ, just quote the Bible to them. Everything else shouldn't be tolerated.
Do you let your kids watch veggie tales? Or other Christian programming for kids? You better not, because those are not word for word from the Bible.
@@Evenmoresteven Dallas Jenkins said the show is 95 percent not Biblical. Jenkins also said the show portrays the “authentic Jesus”. Where is the “authentic Jesus” in the show? According to Dallas the show is portraying 5 percent of the “authentic Jesus”. That’s according to Dallas Jenkins.
@ Obviously he's not saying that Jonathan is portraying the real Jesus. He has said that he is not making something to supplement scripture. It is meant to be a historical drama that depicts what they think, based on scholarly research, what actual life was like for the first century church. And the Jesus on the show is supposed to be true to the values and personality of the real Jesus. I've made the comparison before that the show reminds me of the instant connection I feel when I meet someone that reminds me of my best friend. That person isn't my best friend, but there's a warmth and instant connection there because of the reminder. That is what this show is supposed to do, drive people to real Source found in scripture and by relationship through the Holy Spirit. And I know it is doing that exact thing for millions of people.
@@Evenmoresteven He’s not making something to supplement Scripture? He has materials that are for sale, ie: bible study books based on the show for each season of the show and interactive bible studies based on the show. Those books are supplementing Scripture because they are based on the show. Remember 95 percent not Biblical?
@knw397 how so? He is shown as human and divine. Exactly how Jesus was on earth. Do you think the human part of Jesus never laughed, joked, hugged people, danced at weddings, was both joyful and a man of sorrows? He was Jewish and they are very joyful people. Look at David. He is by far depictued more authentic then other shows/ movies have done. They even have a Messianic Rabbi that helps them and other Jewish people to make the shpw authentic to the times. My guess is that is part of what Dallas means. The actor who plays Jesus prays before his scenes. My husband has been deeple touched by watching the show.
Look up The Chosen Exposen
Funny title
I'll do that. Could you do me solid as well and look up The Chosen controversies from the TheBibleArtist blog?
The Chosen is such a massive Blessing!!
I love The Chosen, own all the seasons on DVD, and will see the last 2 episodes of Season 4 in the theater tomorrow! Great interview & probably the best I’ve seen with Dallas being so honest & transparent. I’ve got 2 friends that have been extras in 2 season, so I hope to someday spot Alan in his Jewish garb! 😅 Blessings on you both for your commitment to spreading the Gospel.
Thank you Allen for this open Dialogue with Dallas Jenkins! I know there has been controversy regarding the Chosen in the Christian community. I’ve been sceptical to believe what others think about these issues and now I know what Dallas says about the matter. I believe Dallas defended the Chosen very well and am so grateful y’all were able to have a real conversation about it. You will know them by their fruits and I want to encourage y’all to keep living for our Lord and savior Jesus Christ! I love y’all and look forward to seeing you in Gods kingdom if we don’t meet in person in this lifetime. May God’s Peace and blessings be with y’all!
Hmmm. The same guy who was calling anyone who didn't like the "He gets us" ad "Pharisees" just last week?🤷🏼♀️ No thanks. Really disappointed here. Wasn't expecting this on this channel. 😢 Then again I did see you were hanging out with him recently so I guess we know where this is going. 💔
Oh no. He likes those ads? This doesn't look good.
Let me guess you are not a Christian! If you were you would know what Jesus 2 commandments'? Love God, Love others Period.
I am one of those that is...on the fence. Ive seen the show. I like the show. My favorite part is when they are at the house of the lady and her husband and he says "one of the rooms is haunted by my mother in law" and Jesus says "ah. That'll be my room then" I had to pause because I was laughing so hard. At the same time....this is not the scriptures. So...I dunno where I stand on the show. I want to enjoy it. But I also cannot in good conscience ignore that voice in my head and heart saying "hang on buddy. Should you really be entertaining yourself with it?"
Same here, man. I want to like it, but something in me gets set off by it. I watched the first season and was entertained/moved by it, but I think it was just a worldly sensation, not spiritual. I can only describe it as "I've got a bad feeling about it." Not going to risk it, and I'll just continue building my relationship with Christ without the help of a production team haha.
YES!!
5:35 “ I just want to be in your will and surrender”. That is so sooo huge and the meat of truly truly being born again.❤❤❤
Visiting with Dallas was such a blessing. Learned quite a bit about him n 'The Chosen'. I LOVE 'The Chosen'. Thank you very much. 🙏❤
Great interview Allen! Thanks for bringing it to us!
I got about two minuites into the first episode of the chosen and never went back to watching. It had this aura about it that....hard to explain but something wasn't right?
My dad was given the DVDs for Christmas last year. I didn't say a word to him about it one way or another. I had previously watched 3 episodes and had so many Holy Spirit warnings I had to stop. Felt almost physically ill by then. Anyways, within about 20 minutes my dad came from the family room and said "I can't watch that. I just can't."
@@Pipers_hooman so I’m not the only one who almost felt physically ill? Tried watching the first episode of the first season and literally had to shut it off.
@@tyeishaleisure nope. You are definitely not alone.
Check out The Chosen Exposen, a documentary about all of the concerning things with The Chosen
@@Pipers_hooman Wow the spirit really speaks loudly to us right?
Loud enough to make us physically ill even...that's amazing, thx for sharing this👐
Love the Chosen so much totally because what DJ is explaining. All the people criticizing Chosen and DJ should watch this.
Mad respect to Dallas and the team. Thank you guys
Praise our Lord for both your lives!!! Of course none of us are perfect on this side of heaven but praise God for your conviction to strive to SHARE Christ with as many as will listen. God's continued protection for you both and your family's.
Whew...! So many different views, opinions, etc...Not that I was asked but here goes.
1. I believe Brother Allen is a solid guy in what he believes regarding the scriptures. I also believe he teaches the word of God to the best of his ability and understanding. That said...
2. I have watched at least one video that I can recall where Brother Allen had spoken on something and revisited the topic after gaining wisdom that exposed an area where he may have delivered something wrong or may have caused someone to be misconstrued (My words not his, just summarizing my thoughts on the video I saw) In that spirit...
3. I thoroughly believe Brother Allen loves Christ and loves God's people enough that if God convicts his heart about supporting this series, Brother Allen is solid enough to come back, admit that he was wrong, and face the music because again, God's people, and staying true to the gospel is of the utmost importance to him.
Personally speaking, I tried watching the Chosen but couldn't get jiggy with it. No particular reason to debate, it just wasn't my thing. As of now, I haven’t been give a reason to garner calling Brother Allen a false teacher or heretic. If this series is as misleading and distorting the gospel as the critics say, if I know God like I believe I know Him, He will handle according to His will. Man will be the least of the worries.
My prayer is, in the midst of all this, someone is exposed to soul saving Jesus, welcomes His finished work on the cross, and takes their place as a believer.
Lastly, lets stay the course! Way things looking lately, He may crack the sky any day now. Love someone enough today to share the Good News! He's risen and coming back just like He said!
Thanks for allowing Dallas to speak . Great Ministry!! Blessings! Get the word out!
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I love the Chosen. I love that it helps me to be able to see that other people outside my faith have the same love for Jesus as I do! It is my strongly held opinion that in today’s increasingly insane world, me, as a devout member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has way more in common with any strong believer of any other faith than the growing chorus of voices in the darkening world that have no faith at all. I think the Chosen is wonderful because it can be enjoyed by people of all different faiths, as long as they believe in Christ, and it can bring us together, if we will only choose to focus on what we have in common instead of what separates us.
I used to watch the show, but the more i watched it, the more i recognized the inaccuracies.
I have a difficult time watching TV at all, but I'm not against The Chosen. The one thing to keep in mind, it's made to drive you TO the Bible. Not as a substitute FOR the Bible. Great informative interview💗🙏💗🕊

@ Maybe because he calls it the "authentic" Jesus, and that it will be the "definitive portrayal of Jesus and the Gospels", though it is mostly made up? I would venture to guess 5% real is an exaggeration. It is tainted at its very best. Essentially, it is a lie.
@@ericmuetterties1984 Agreed!
Owning these seasons of the Chosen is great, I can rewatch them over and over, I find myself wanting more! Please keep them coming!
I appreciate all the hard work and talent put into The Chosen. Such a blessing. ❤ thanks for providing this video!
My key takeaway from this interview is that The Chosen is a fictional, dramatic work that is loosely based on a true story (ie. The Bible). In the director’s own words, it contains a lot of things that are ‘extra-biblical’ and ‘not factual’ as it tries to imagine what life was life for some of the characters in the Bible. So, as long as people understand this disclaimer going into it, on the positive side I can see where this might encourage some people to want to read the actual true story, the Bible.
In the negative side, I am concerned when I see comments from people that say they’ve been Christians their whole lives and how The Chosen has ignited their fire to draw closer to God more. I would humbly ask those people to take a step back and have some introspection to ask themselves ‘why hasn’t God’s true word stirred that hunger in me all these years, and why did it take a fictional TV show to do that?’ Perhaps it’s the emotions of the extra-Biblical stories that the person is feeling rather than the Holy Spirit moving in them. Just a thought.
I'm so happy you did this interview! I watch The Chosen and stop to look up the bible verses that support the episode and topic. It helped me look deeper into the meaning behind the verses.
SEASONS 1-3 WERE "THE CHOSEN."
Does any Chosen fans have a link to Dallas explaining why they aren't covering the baptism or Transfiguration? I'd really like to know from his mouth, not hearsay.
Good luck. Conflicts with Mormonism
@@ericmuetterties1984how do those two things conflict with Mormonism?
@@ericmuetterties1984This show is not a Mormon show. Full stop! You’re sounding like Hamas who are against Jews! Making these false accusations is a serious sin. Just wow!
@@ashleydanielson3222Don’t listen to Eric. He’s falsely accusing the show of Mormonism. Don’t waste time because the show is t Mormon.
@@accesstotheredcarpetTwo of the shows executive producers are Mormon. And there's an interview with Darrel Eves (Momon executive producer) saying they avoided the baptism scene because there's too many theological views on how it took place. His exact words were, "we avoided it." If there wasn't Mormonism (a particular vein of theology that doesn't believe in Jesus's deity) involved, there shouldn't have been an issue allowing a Biblical Christian approach to said scene.
12:50 Being a former Greco Roman Christian, I returned to my Hebrew roots of the faith, some 30 years ago. In the first episode of season one I was immediately “impacted “ with the factual image of Yeshua and his disciples wearing zti-ztis as commanded by our Heavenly Father for those who are in covenant with Him♥️.
I appreciate everything Dallas has done and for me it is ALL honoring Jesus Christ! Thank You.
When someone says they don’t care what people think I find it concerning, even if they say because the care more about what God thinks, because it’s easy to miss hear God. Not caring doesn’t sit well with Love your neighbour as your self. 😅
Listen to the whole conversation
When there are millions watching/listening, you have to just be true to what you believe God is wanting you to do. And forge ahead. You have to have a thick skin and let many opinions bounce or you couldn’t function. He has gone way beyond in including other educated people in writing and depicting his vision correctly and honestly. And… nobody is forced to watch! It’s free for those who do.
Do you have even 1 person in your life that you agree with 100%? Imagine trying to get millions to agree!
Dallas cares about the people close to him who are the Biblical Consultants, his wife, pastor and other Christians around him, who involved in the show. If we care about the opinions of everyone - no one would ever do anything.
Jesus didn’t let the criticism of others stop him from doing The Father’s will.
At some point we need to tune out the noise and do what we believe God wants us to do. Which is what Dallas is saying.
@@stickmastergib3665 you assume I didn’t listen to the whole convo Stickmaster. I did listen to the whole conversation.
@@kdfleming9152 KD you responded to lots of things I never said. Maybe re read what I wrote. I don’t disagree with what you said but it is oranges and apples. What I said stands and is biblical. But obviously people go for people they like. 👍
This is the first I've ever seen this blog. And oh my gosh it was wonderful. Love that you gave Dallas a chance to speak about things. But also this is just a great show. And I'll look forward to seeing you in your 32nd spot in the crowd as well. And maybe more who knows. I've seen all of the episodes for this season and you're going to love it. God bless you in your own journey. And thank you for making this available.❤
I don't understand his statement about worshipping the same Jesus
The Mormon "Jesus" is different than the Biblical Jesus because the Mormon one was not always God from the beginning, but was a man who became a god. Mormons also believe that we can become gods. This is blasphemy
@@sommer9211 which is why I don't understand his statement
@@sommer9211 he's said it before more than once
@@mistertracey1 he has compromised to gain popularity sadly
@@sommer9211 You obviously don't know anything about what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches. I have a question for you, if you think you can answer it; If we are children of God, why is it blasphemy to believe that we can become like Him? Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Okay, 2 questions; Does God have a body?
Oh how the mighty have fallen
Please, Dallas, do a series starting us out in the book of Acts after season 7 of The Chosen ends! This would be SOOOOOOOOOOO POWERFUL!
YES!!!!!!!
Great interview! Thank you for doing it.🙌🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for taking the time and the thoughtful questions and inspiring answers.
Especially hearing how to move past the topic 'fear of man' has been very inspiring. I cherished the pratcical solution to each time replace any of these thoughts with bible scripture. Thank you for sharing and your practise.
Alan's "excitement" is very telling! WOW - the last days are here in the church for sure!
nope.
Thank you so much for this interview. I like the Chosen. I actually was afraid to watch it for years because of some of the criticism, but 2 years ago I started to watch it and I think it is a good show. I can relate to watching it and then going back and checking scripture to see if there was something I forgot about or missed. I know there will be a lot of criticism for this interview, but I’m so grateful for this dialogue and there needs to be more room in the body of Christ for disagreement without it affecting how we see our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I’m not advocating going against scripture, but there are so many opinions that are outside of scripture that Christian’s disagree about and people can use it as a way to separate the Body of Christ and to me that is so tragic.
There is a major doctrinal issue here...Dallas is saying Mormons love the same Jesus we do. He is so wrong!
There's also lots of theological issues. Go back and watch how Christ doesn't except worship. They strip him of his diety...that is the Mormon theology coming out in the show!
Most of us have watched a film that is presented, "Based on actual events."
We know from this statement that there are fictional aspects of the story, usually minor details, but the essence of the story is true.
Jenkins statement a couple years ago says it well: The Chosen is a painting, not a photograph.
The controversy among Christians is the clear difference between Christians with a micro perspective versus a macro perspective.
Those troubled by the perspective of The Chosen, should not watch.
This was one of the best interviews!! Great clarity. I LOVE THE Chosen and shared this on my FB due to these questions I get. Thank you
Sad that Allen isn’t seeing through this show.
I know! deception is RIFE in christianity.... there's *way too many* sappy, naive and *undiscerning* christians. We're fast moving into *Matthew 24:24* territory...... *Satan's* having a field day.
It wouldn't surprise me if Allen began yoking with Roman Catholicism because - basically - he's a *businessman* lookin' to improve his *bottom line* by pandering to "the Chosen" fans..... but - *Jesus said* - we can't serve both GOD and Mammon. Simply put: christians who love *"the Chosen"* don't read their Bible's PROPERLY.
The show clearly presents ANOTHER Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4) NOT the Jesus of the Bible. Allen's utterly BLIND if he don't see that..... It's no wonder Mormons are involved in the production; they present ANOTHER gospel (Galatians 1:6-9)
Care to try and explain? What exactly is there to see through?
@@annme7638Watch The Chosen Exposen
I second that, please elaborate
This was a great interview! Informative and very interesting. I absolutely love The Chosen ❤️
I knew this was going to be the guest and this was a great interview and i truly enjoy this show.
Great interview with a great director. The Chosen has Gods hand on it. I am a Catholic that can appreciate your hard work. Loved everything about it❤God Bless you! Have my tickets for 7 & 8😇🙏🏼
I really hope they go into the book of acts and go over church history that isn’t in the Bible
Yes fingers crossed
Allen is spineless. He gave no pushback concerning Dallas’ belief that Mormons believe in the same Jesus as evangelical Christians. There are numerous differences. Softball interview dude.
Calm down dude. This isn't Larry King.
I just watched this interview and I can tell by your comment that you did not. Just go back and listen to what DJ said about this particular quote of his being taken out of context.
The Chosen is Magnificent! The director, the crew and the actors and all the people envolved in its creation, bravo to all of you. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Watching from Cyprus.
My Daughter has had a renewed desire to seek Jesus and all his teachings, because of the Chosen!❤
The show opens people to possibilities! My priest friend just found the Chosen - he tells me it is lifting him up at a time he needed it!
Great video. Thank you for sharing your heart, Dallas. Feeling even better after this to not listen to the "noise." Also, would love to see Allen as an extra!
I’m convinced that some of you guys didn’t watch or listen to the whole interview 😅 this was a great and clarifying interview that would put some of these wild comments to shame. Shout out to Allen for bringing Dallas on and engaging in this insightful conversation! I wish people would actually listen to the whole thing but people are really quick to put Dallas or Allen or whoever’s not in their own views in an US vs THEM category and it’s not helpful at all. I think if we got out of our bubbles and looked at the bigger picture of how God is using this as one of the ways He is bringing people to him himself especially Gen Z. Then I think we’d all be better for it lol
It isn't about US versus THEM. It's about standing up for the true Christ of scripture not a cheapened worldly facsimile. A false jesus saves no one. Jenkins jesus is very much a false Christ.
The show is a heart thinking watch. My belief is that criticism comes from a person who thinks they can read that persons mind or interpret what they do. In stead of questioning that persons thoughts and opinions and actions. In stead of having a conversation with them to find out how they really feel, think and live their lives. Get to know and learn to love not cause chaos.
Ironic how Allen’s book is called “Mislead,” yet he’s promoting The Chosen 🤦🏼♂️
🤣🤣🤣👏🏽
Excellent point.
🎯🎯🎯
I don't believe it takes much discernment to see through the chosen.
Thank you! I'm just confused at this point about how someone with such knowledge....can't see what's obvious.
I rebuke you Satan! Get thee behind me! You are as evil as this liberal, hypocritical generation! I will pray for your salvation.
Awesome interview. Thanks for sharing your testimonies. Both were very open and helpful. God bless you.
Was really hoping it would be MacArthur
