On a suggestion from a friend of mine I started watching this series.
So...I have thoughts but wanted to hear yours on the subject.
What do you think of the series?
about 5 days ago i was viewing the Topics list and found this Thread. having no idea what this was all about i began reading the Thread until i finished all 9 pages. then i began watching the Series Itself. just finished Season 2 but having issue locating season 3.
what do i think about what i have seen is the question at hand?
from reading a [few] people's post, i can see every member of the Pharisee's in the Series [but Nicodemus and his one student] are well represented between those Members within this Thread.
is it word for word by the Word of God? the Theme is most definitely, but the stories within the Story has many unscripted ideologies.
does that make it Satanic? absolutely not!
here's a few Scriptures i am reminded of.
John 14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you,
I do not speak on My own; but the Father dwelling in Me does His works.
so the scene with Jesus and Matthew writing down the Sermon on the Mount is clearly imagination even though the Gospel of Matthew is most known for this Version. so it was an interesting touch of choreography at its finest.
but the other stories within the Story are quite entertaining.
Jesus with Nicodemus
the Ethiopian Woman and the crippled man and later on them Testifying of the Miracle + the Leprosy healing
Ethiopian Woman and Jesus speaking in her Native Language
Simon the Zealot has been entertaining
Mary Magdalene is quite colorful
Simon and Andrew fighting like Real Brothers would
James and John clearly look like sons of Thunder in their Zeal to kill the Enemy
each story line of the Disciples before becoming Disciples
Matthew coming off more like someone who is Autistic and Thomas seems touched with Asperger's.
John's Disciple Philip being more enlightened
James having his health issue
even the interaction between Jesus and his cousin John

is this what we read in the Bible?
NO!
but it also doesn't mean it's incorrect either.
we were not there to know any of these people. truth be told, Jesus picked people we would not pick if we were selecting a pick-up game of dodge ball. we are never told direct specifics because the Bible Version is about more of who they came to be in Christ.
and that reminds me of this Scripture:
John 21:25 There are also many other things that
Yeshua did.
If all of them were to be written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself will have room for the books being written!

i would also include we read each time Jesus healed He said Go, and tell no one.
but we know how people are and we know without it being written down they did Go, but they [[((DID TELL EVERYONE))]].

so this Series, The Chosen, is not a far cry of imagination when we see the Ethiopian Woman Testifying, Jesse brother of Simon the Zealot Testifying, and as the Series continues into all 7 Seasons, i am sure more will be Testifying. and there's no doubt that factually happened, even if the characters in this Series weren't the real ones doing it.
i see no harm in this Series.
if anyone does, i suggest we look at all of their Doctrines, Philosophies, and Personal Beliefs. i bet the trash unveiled would be MORE disgraceful than anything i've witnessed within this Series!
definitely looking forward to Season 3!
