Dallas and Amanda React to Chosen Hate 

So true!!

💯

Man, so true 😂😂

Sorry for people like these. Satan must put his two cents in. Sorry for them.

You are 100 percent right. I feel

Amen

Im an evangelical and I love all catholics who love Jesus. ❤🙏

Also Catholic. We love The Chosen and can't wait for the new season!

True ❤️

Amen!!!!!

Escaping the chains of porn is an example of God's power.

well explained

Agree

Yonatan means "Yahweh has given"

He is an actor.

​​​@@olivermutswiri1748 The meaning of Jonathan is quite similar to John. I look up one source that literally says both the names mean "God is gracious". But John definitely means that and also graced by God. It literally means the love of God. Both entails the love and grace of God. 😊

And yes I like Jonathan Roumie. That's such humility and mature aura and vibe about him that I like. Jim Caviezel was great too, almost as good as Jonathan or in my opinion just as good at portraying their roles emulating our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Not quite it exactly but close.

Linda, thank you specifically for leaving a comment. As a nun, you help to counter the anti-catholic comments!

God bless you ALWAYS Sister Linda 🙏✝️😇🛐📿📿📿📿

So glad to read your comment Sister Linda! I first heard about The Chosen from Father Mark Goring and I too fell in love with it like so many. I have recommended The Chosen to my family members and to anyone else who would listen. This show is unique and I'm certain it's drawing people to our LORD JESUS rather than pushing them away as some claim. It will be wonderful to think a Nun is watching The Chosen with me everytime I watch. I can visualize the whole lineup of the greats of all time watching with all of us....Santa Teresa of Ávila , St. Faustina Kowalska, St. Therese, the little Flower etc. Please Pray a bead for me when you pray your Rosary. It's my all-time favorite Prayer and I don't go a day without praying the full 4 Mysteries since I discovered its efficacy in beating back the darkness that evil throws at us day after day. JESUS King of MERCY we trust in You 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖

This is an amazing series I too have become closer its easier when you can put a face to the people in the bible

God bless you Sister and thanks for your comment and giving your life to God... you're a very special person!!

Satan is defeated by the power of the blood and the words of your testimony!

Everyone has struggles and that is what brings us to face God. Rejoice that God loves us despite our individual brokenness.

Agreed, if my story of deliverance offends someone, they are offended by the power of Jesus Christ who was the only thing that broke my chains.

@@thinkandrepent3175 same 🙏💙

My story for His Glory....

It's quite obvious given his incredible attention to detail that Matthew had Asperger's Syndrome.

So agree!!!

I love the portrayal of Matthew too.

LOVE BOTH

Will apostle Paul ever appear in this show?

Me toooooo! I replayed it!

Amen!

That's the Jesus I've always known too!!

Yes! God definitely has a sense of humor. I always find myself reminding people, we are made in God's image. And so, humor definitely came from God too. But ever since Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge instead of the tree of life, humans fell and we take alot of what God has given us so graciously especially free will, a tremendous gift from our father in heaven, way too far and extremes. Humor was supposed to be fun but people being people, we take it a little too far and too much with it. Joking about almost everything even things that aren't really supposed to be joked about but taking it in stride is one way to respond or not at all to inappropriate humor. But I wouldn't encourage it. Haha. However, humor is definitely alright and I am not about that woke BS or am I about whatever the world is, but whatever God is about that's what I am all about too. And humor is from God, whatever that's fine with God, so am I with it. And God really has a great sense of humor. I have a lot of ridiculous puns and at times boring humor that people may not find as funny but there are people who does and God definitely does. When He doesn't, He will let me know 😅😁.

Couldn't agree more, I'm a lifelong Catholic and that line cracked me up. Jesus was 100% human, why wouldn't he lighten the mood sometimes?

See, people need to know that Christians, GOOD PEOPLE do bad things. The unsaved world needs to know that Christians aren't perfect and *never claim to be*, and other Christians need to know that sin is still a part of being human and we shouldn't feel so much shame that we become paralyzed and sink deeper, instead of addressing our issues and healing. This is why it's good for Dallas to mention is former porn addiction.

The key for me to overcome carnal sin was fear of the Lord. Also the principle NOPE (Not One Peek Even) is a good principle along with ”first look cannot be avoided but the next one you should avoid”. Applying these principles will feel like cutting your flesh with a sword but (hard to describe it in any other way), but as you force yourself (because of fear of the Lord and of gratitude of what Jesus did on the cross) and crucify your flesh it feels really great when then challenges have passed. Eventually, lesser sins will be more clear as the carnal sin seems to cloud all other sins and also your brain will be rewired in a way that in the future, you will look at beautiful women differently (don’t challenge yourself on that too early though).

The first word in the Torah/Bible is, בראשית (In the beginning...). Lets break it down by its syllables and read it. בר (Bar) = Son א (Aleph) = God שית (Shayith) = Thorns In the beginning, God knew man would fail and what He would have to do to raise him up.

I’m happy for you, but read the Bible again and again, cover to cover, and praise continuously. TV series like this would fade away from your heart, but the word of God would guard you forever.

@@Love-One-Another Or it could mean that The Son would wear a crown of thorns. I guess.

Yeah 👍

As a catholic I second this!!

Indeed. Another Catholic here, and Matthew is my all time favorite!

I love their interpretation of Matthew!

Catholic here also...I'm really enjoying watching the Chosen. This will become a classic telling of the Greatest Story ever told.

Even if Dallas Jenkins says this show is not produced by Mormons, this show is produced by an "evangelical" Christian that believes that Christians and Mormons are the same. Mormons do not believe that Jesus is THE God (the one and only true God).

@@numi8985 Everyone has a choice to watch it or not. It’s that simple…🇨🇦

The best show Ever God Bless The writing and Direction the actors are amazing I have watched the series over and over again Love Love this Beautiful portrayal of the Bible 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Right? We were all balling...who couldn't see themselves in Simon

Totally agree with all you have said! ❤

I thought Simon saying. "Please don't let me go" over and over again was a bit much, but I then realized that I am always saying to Jesus the same thing basically. This world keeps trying to draw me away and sometimes it can be so appealing. I never want to choose anything over Christ and the blood of the cross and so I ask Him constantly to keep me from falling away...

I love the Matthew movie (word for word - 1993) but this also has become a favorite for me.

I just can’t imagine God being humourless.

@@razterizer He made us in His with mage. If we have a sense of humor it’s because He has one.

I love the humor of Jesus saying, "There are some things even I cannot do." regarding fixing Andrew's 2 left feet. Plausible that Jesus had a sense of humor with his disciples? I think so.

I totally agree ..

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣% AGREED 👍 ‼️

Satan hates the Chosen

Yeah, some folks won't be satisfied sadly.

It's the Pharisees that don't like it. They have trouble seeing it past the plank in their eye!

Jesus said that we would be persecuted. This is good. 👍

Yes!

He’s my favourite too ❤

@@juicybullet yes mine too

He's one of my favorites!!

I'm Catholic and love the show too. As a matter of fact, I didn't know about the show until the ladies at my church's bible study were raving about it. It's sad the person who posted the comment had to be so rude, that was not a very Christ-like response.

Catholicism is not Christian. If you're interested why this is the case, let's chat.

@@jedimasterham2 just state your reason here no need to act all high and mighty

@@misty_ravy Because Catholicism disobeys God, and puts their human traditions above his commands. Some examples include Mary worship, chanting vain repetitions (ie. rosaries), indulgences, invention of purgatory, praying to statues/images, holy water, infant baptism, transubstantiation, calling priests "father", and much more. All of these aspects demonstrate how Catholicism is antichristian.

@@jedimasterham2 I see Im catholic and the only one I set my eyes on is God not the Pope

Yeah but many Christians won't like that .I mean sometimes people just confuse me .

I'm all about unity among Christians as well. I love enthusiasm for the unity this show is bringing, and also how you're not trying to elevate one branch above the other as superior. I'm a mere Christian that has delved into Catholicism and rubbed shoulders (w/ lots of debates) w/ Catholics. Our theological divides run deep, even among protestants too. It's so refreshing to see them cast aside as nowhere near as important as Christ our Redeemer and the saving gospel that unites us all.

Satan is a deceiver and using this ti deceive the people from who the real Jesus is

You conveniently failed to mention the strong Mormon influence. Satan loves division between Bible believing born again Christians but hates the spiritual discernment that reveals false gospels, false prophets, and false Christs.

@@donblosser8720 he is the greatest deceiver. where would he deceive people? in the church

Ex-Mormon? I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing well.

I am glad that you have come to Jesus and know Him as our Savior. I’ll pray that you will build a relationship with Jesus and to continually have faith in Him. God bless you!

Laughing is great medicine. It keeps me sane waiting for Season 3.

everyone struggles. each with their own demon. Good post

This portrayal of Jesus' life & Sacred Works (a path not many have been willing tread upon) has continued to raise my level understanding, Restored my ability to live through severe painful spine injury (22 yrs now) I relate with the brother who can't walk & pond water scene of losing hope of ever being restored to health & gain it back moment by moment daily) Great Works are always difficult, yet simple & Always in all ways WORTH IT!

You might try watching Zeffirelli's 'Jesus of Nazareth", or even Mel Gibson's 'The Passion". Both if these are much better representations of the true 'authentic' Christ. I really don't think MR. Jenkins can save your soul, so I hope you aren't counting on him for that!

@@RodneyHaltom Curious to know how you'd know what an authentic representation of Christ is. I've seen those and I think The Chosen nails it.

@@agavegrove The only way to know what Jesus is like... is to read the Bible. Unfortunately the Chosen takes a great deal of 'artistic license' with their narrative concerning Jesus and his followers.

@@RodneyHaltom In the 3 years of Jesus' ministry, the Bible doesn't reveal everything that was said. Any depiction must take artistic license, or else the series is going to only last an hour. To give the actors of The Jesus film British accents was certainly artistic license. Also, the production team has been up front about this being historic drama. However they've gone to great lengths to make sure it's historically and textually accurate. The Passion didn't do that. I'd argue that reading the Bible isn't the only way, but the primary way. We also learn about the love of Jesus through other Believers, what the Holy Spirit lays on us, other teachers, and through His Creation. While the written Word is the measuring stick, it's not the only way. And Dallas and crew haven't violated the key tenets of the faith. What The Chosen has done is no different than reading a Matthew Henry commentary or other such commentary. We're experience one persons' depiction of what happened, just as a sermon/commentary is one person's opinion of what the Bible is saying.

@@agavegrove I hope you gather inspiration from the Chosen and I hope it helps people come to Christ. However, after over fifty years studying and preaching the Gospel, I have a hard time watching the show because of the many near New Age references they portray, and the horrendously fake Mideastern accents they are using, just rub me the wrong way. Sorry, that is just my opinion and I hope you get what you can out of the 'show' ! For me it is more fiction than fact, and when searching for truth I prefer a more Biblical interpretation of the Gospel.

Exactly if you not getting that much criticized go back to the drawing boui

By the blood of the Lamb in the word of their testimony thank you Jesus for delivering him and giving him and his wife the ability to live freely!!

I worked for over 20 with hardly a serious criticism. It struck me that it was because my job was NOT critical. No wonder it was not satisfying. And then I became an Urgent Care technician and then an ER technician. It wasn't fun, but for the first time In my working life I faced serious criticism. I finally had a job that truly mattered. So I agree with you 100%.

I don't like ripped jeans but i have better things to do than to randomly call someone out on their choice to wear them. So I don't get that comment either.

@@spooniesarah It baffles me that people just look for ways to attack others. I guess people just have to find something to be negative about, and as you indicated, they have nothing better to do. It's sad.

I'm glad im not the only one studying in detail each episode. It really is a Divine Work of Huge Importance on this Earth right now. Sending abundant financial energies to the Entire group so the only thing must deal with is there's still an illusion of 24 hr days to deal with slowing down future episides .May Seasons 3 & 4 be ready to watch here soon. ⚓💚🗝💚🧭🌲🕯🕊🌲👣🧝‍♂️👣🌲

I wouldn't wear ripped jeans if my life depended on it. However if people

Kimberly, I love this show and have no doubt that God's Holy Spirit has been moving through it from the beginning, it has brought so many people across the world to a new or deeper relationship with Christ. And I wanted to share with you...63 and still wearing tie dye!

I absolutely love “come together”, we need more of that kind of love.

I would like people to stop saying the pope is the anti-christ. Where does this come from? I don't think any pope is perfect (infallible is different than perfect), but I do believe they are holy and act in the best interest of the church. Yes, if you go far back in history, there have been bad popes, but that is a small number out of the overall total. There are Protestant preachers who have also been bad, both in modern times and in past decades/centuries. Sorry, just had to vent!

@@FlaNative3 maybe not the first but the most famous person calling the pope the antichrist was Martin Luther. - You are right, but I am afraid there will be people like that until the end of times. Just imagine they go to heaven for their love for Jesus, and then the first Saint they see is Pope Pius IX.

Please turn away from catholicism, God hates religion, especially catholicism as they revere Mary, believe the Pope can forgive people, and they leave Christ on the cross, which does not honor Jesus. It is my mission from God as an ex catholic myself to tell you the truth, become a born again Christian through Christ our Lord and Savior only! Listen to John MacArthur regarding the blasphemy of the Catholic mass! Jesus is our only intercessor!

@@gingerray2188 No, sorry, I don’t agree. Many Catholics are born again believers, my husband & I being 2 of them, and many non-catholic churchgoers are not born again - it’s the same in every church and you will not find a church completely free of error, because they are comprised of HUMANS. If Ravi Zacharias, master of logic, can deceive himself like that for decades … that’s a lesson to remember how pride (and sin in general) can blind us. Mary deserves our respect, which of us could endure all that she did? Jesus himself gave the disciples power to forgive sins (plus more Matthew 18:18) & the RCC just carries that on. There are many graces in the sacraments. Didn’t Paul the Apostle say to teach Christ crucified (1 Cor 1:23 & 2:2)? But, yes, I understand that w/o the resurrection, the crucifixion doesn’t matter. I did listen to JM for years as a new Christian and I just don’t agree with everything he says regarding the RC church & mass. As good as JM is, he does get some things wrong, as does every human who ever lived. He also totally rejects anything charismatic, but not all Christian leaders are in agreement.

@In a Twinkling Someone in the comments (or more than one) said the pope is the antichrist, although can’t say I’m surprised some also say False Prophet. We’ll just have to wait and see about that one. I can think of much better candidates …

Totally agree. I feel embarrassed by those comments. Hope they are just trolls //another catholic

As another Catholic here I agree with you!

Thank you for speaking so eloquently for us Catholics who absolutely love The Chosen. It hurt me to hear some of those horrible frankly unchristian remarks by fellow Catholics. I have shared it with practising Catholics and lapses Catholics all love and most paying it forward.

I hope season 3 turns out good and not like a lot of other shows

I find it crazy that those people said Catholics hate the show, and could not support it, especially considering Bishop Robert Barron who is highly regarded, has been an advisor for the show. 🤷

Amen!

100% Agree

spot on

YES!

Oh Robin I agree! And I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit is very much on the set!

4 of us went to Season 3 Finale in person. It was awesome. "If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."

And I hate it when people say that LDS aren't Christian and don't believe in the same Jesus. My best friend is LDS, and we have lots of discussions about religion. We don't always agree on certain doctrines, but I know we love the same Jesus.

Said perfectly!

The only thing The Chosen has done for me is bringing me closer to Jesus and make me more curious about getting back into reading the Bible. Oh I can also say that watching it is fantastic and even if alot of things in the episodes didn't come from the Bible, who are we to say "that never happened" we weren't there. I don't understand the hate, I'm willing to bet the farm Jesus is happy the show is bringing people back or closer to him. If making the show was to bring people closer to Jesus you have accomplished your goal. Period. Who cares if the person that delivered your pizza last night may not be a Christian, I'm sure you still enjoy eating it.

Well all of should understand that this is part of our Christian walk is rebuking the demonic forces. I'm sure the devil hasn't missed an episode. Blessed be the name of our Lord!!! This is how we know This magnificent protrail of my Lord is ruffling a few feathers. I say take it and smile cause you are doing something very special! AMEN

I do not know if the movie is perfect scripturally but it helped me to understand the days Christ lived in and how he had a sense of humor and sense of destiny and FIRE... Ignore all but constructive critism and suggestions. Some people have a critical spirit.... An actual indwelling spirit, and are prodded by it... They probably are not aware. May God give you courage strength wisdom and plenty of funds for all needs re the films and your personal life

AMEN!!!!

Just a note. DR. David Jeremiah spoke this great sentence for a T shirt: "Repentce is a 180" . You know turn around from sin.

@In a Twinkling Ummm agree, you're either one or the other.

Which one are you,? Catholic or Christian? You can't be both.

Ditto! Is all I can say!

@In a Twinkling a catholic Christian is the first Christian. All catholic means is universal.

@@balung wrong I used to be like you as well till I actually studied more than anti catholic rhetoric.

Sad part is the hate comes from within the church body… shameful 😔

God bless you. I know precisely what you mean about the frightful, fear-inducing teachings as a child. To see the Christ I have come to know through my own exploration of Scripture, intense prayer, and the guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit, portrayed onscreen is a gift of great worth. I pray that Jesus Christ will continue to lead you closer to Him, and that He will show you the spring of Living Water that He is and cause that desert to bloom.

@@aleisterbroley900 Thank you brother!

If the real Jesus never smiled, he would have died of boredom long before he started him ministry. Some of the older movies by really famous producers portrayed him as nothing more than a robot.

@@Bob_Adkins I tried to like most of the movies on Jesus but I was always uncomfortable. Now I know those people did their best and I give them credit for that. Honestly, most portrayals of Jesus were cold.

@@blgallas Really, I agree. I will continue watcing and may even contribute.

@@Bob_Adkins Same here.

Catholicism is of the devil, please don't follow religion only Jesus. Please

Same here 🙏🏻I tell everyone about it 🙏🏻The word is being spoken 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻God is Great 😊

You are so right! Today's Mass Gospel Reading was Luke 6:27-38 on Loving your enemies❣️❣️❣️

Evangelical here and ours was on intercessory prayer. I had a bit of a time understanding what he was getting at, it wasn't easy to follow but I think I got the gist of it. Praying for fuller understanding in time.

Awesome!

Me too😂

Thank you for all you do! Bravo!

I think that some people are just trying to criticize the more human portrayal of Jesus, which I consider it very beautiful, inspiring and even more accurate. That portrayal of Jesus doesn’t mean He’s not perfect, holy, and the son of God. All the contrary, He shows how we should behave as children of God. And even when we know that is humanly impossible to be like Him, we can understand much better that He’s with us by our side, not expecting us to be perfect like He is, but to have faith in Him. In my opinion, that’s the correct way to portray Him because He knows what it feels to be human as He had a human life. He knows how it feels to be horrified, betrayed, loved… That actually helps people know how understanding and compassionate He is, instead of the usual “stoic” portrayal I’ve mostly seen standing out in different representations of Jesus. Why can’t Jesus make jokes? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think that some people are actually offended by seeing a portrayal of Jesus that makes jokes, shows happiness, laughs, has a good time, feels moved by children reciting Scriptures, shows sensitivity, gives warm hugs, gets watery eyes… What’s the sin in that? It’s beautiful! But some people just want the portrayal of an unreachable Jesus who lives very far away and that you better have a good signal to be able to call Him. I believe that the stoic and distant portrayal of Jesus not only does not help people want to know Him better, and have a personal relationship with Him (which is what we should be doing) but it’s inaccurate. I have felt the warmth of His love and His sweetness. So, I honestly think this has been an inspiring and beautiful project that should be supported by all Christians, and not trolled by some.

Amen! Very glad to hear you're digging into Scripture-- there are endless treasures there, and so much beauty and deep knowledge of God.. Sometimes in passages where we wouldn't expect to find it, passages that we've read a thousand times and never noticed the gems lying in wait to be revealed by His Holy Spirit in God's own time. This show has brought both myself and my wife closer to God and renewed our faith. I could never express my gratitude to the people involved in making this show enough, just for their being there to hear God's command and respond to His Spirit moving in them. God bless you.

@A.M.B. Thanks so much for sharing. We love hearing how The Chosen is leading people to study the Bible. We appreciate your support.

@@TheChosenSeries Always. Your sister in Christ.

😊💖🙏☝️🙌

If you do not see the human side of Jesus in the bible, then you must ask yourself why because it is where He is revealed as the God-man (human). The longest prayer in the bible is recorded in John 17 and every person who has ever lived since the earthly ministry of Christ is in that beautiful prayer. ------- The chosen takes great liberties in personification of Jesus and the disciples. The problem comes into play when it contradicts the scripture, such as Jesus continuously consulting his mother on important decisions contrary to scripture. Consulting Matthew with the sermon on the mount is another example. ---- "I believe it will catch more fish that way" - Again read John 17 from Jesus lips. ALL THAT THE FATHER GIVES TO ME will come to ME and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. - John 6 v 37 John 17:2 For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life TO ALL THOSE WHO YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM (Jesus). (Believers are chosen by God the Father and given to God the Son as a love gift.) John 17:6 I have revealed Your name TO THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. (They were Yours (Father), but you gifted them to Me (Son)) John 17:9 I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME; for they are Yours. (Again the exact same affirmation and note the tenderness of our Savior toward those to whom the Father has given Him)

And this was exactly the point of this series. God must have his hand in it; since when??? has a show about our Abba and His Son, been done with a ground swell of funds? NEVER. Not one or two shows, but now working on SEASON 4.... time is short and the news must get out. I am personally sick of being here. But, we have to wait until the last Gentile is received into His arms through His mercy's and love. Then, yes, then... Maranatha!! See you all very, very soon.

I’ve watched a few episodes and I enjoyed it too. I’m Catholic and I’m not offended just perplexed by the people commenting on their hatred of Catholics yet proclaim to be good Christians.

Amen

@@Penny-bt4gc it’s an oxymoron. You will know us by the way we love each other….shalom

I loved that scene between Jesus and Nicodemus too, yes it had me in tears too.
