Diversity of 1st Century Jewish Life | Messianic Reaction to The Chosen S1 E6 

I love how the writers have Nicodemus say, ",,, a meeting anywhere... even a tomb." And it was at the tomb that Nico finally followed.

I like how Jesus quotes what Shmuel is thinking instead of having Shmuel say it. I got to stand in the room where the healing of the paralytic was filmed and go on the roof (as well as some other places) when my older sister and I went to Texas to be a part of the feeding of the five thousand. It was cool.

Hello 👋 from northwest Indiana! 💖 I love the 2 kids on the roof w/Matthew! They're like "We knew he'd do it!"

This was the scene that convinced me to give the show a shot - it was the first time I found myself crying at a portrayal of Jesus. The way He hugs the paralytic after he stands, just... All I could think was "I want Jesus to hug me like that, too." I will never be over how beautifully the Chosen brings the scriptures to life and challenges me think about them in ways I never have before.

IMO, You can read every book of the Bible and yet, without something like The Chosen, Brandon Robbins and the two of you, we couldn't be prepared for the second coming. Thank you for all the studying, research and discussion that makes your videos so inspiring and insightful 🙏💕✝️

The Chosen does such a good job of opening mine eyes to things I'd never noticed before. I had to go look it up, and it's true--Jesus really did tell the healed man "Go home!" instead of inviting him to stay for the rest of the sermon!

I honestly love you guys, your upbeat personalities, your extensive knowledge of the Bible, the country, rituals etc. I’m actually sitting at home in Florida watching you now. Your mothers should be sooo proud of you both🙏🙏😊

Hi guys from Kentucky!!!!!!

Shalom! From Locust Grove, Oklahoma I love to listen to you guys and hear your reactions regarding The Chosen!

Excellent discussion. Thank you both so much and all your staff, too. Your laughter is refreshing!

Hello from East Tennessee

Great scene! I love the way Jesus/Jeshua Was so happy and he hugged the man and he felt huge heartfelt love it was obvious. Very touching and beautiful. It’s good to see the scenes again because you forget about them overtime. And you bring it very close when you put it out there thank you

I love watching your reactions! I feel like I always learn so much and the spirit that is felt while re-watching the episodes along with you is amazing! I can't wait for you to watch the 7th episode - it's my personal favorite of season 1 :) Keep up the great work!

Shalom everyone, hello from Burbank CA 🤗

Shalom, shalom!

I have watched the Chosen at least 8 times now. Every time I watch it I learn something new. You guys do an excellent job of interpreting each episode. I'm learning even more from you. Your emotions during certain scenes are greatly appreciated. Thanks, keep up the awesome job.

Very good Nicodemus. You are helping all of us understand.

Blessings Brothers and Sisters

Such wonderful insights yet again… thanks Sam for the powerful closing. 🙌🏽

Love what you two share! Learning so much! God bless!🤗

Hello from FL. I enjoy listening to your reactions to the Chosen and your teachings about the Bible.

I love The Chosen and watching your reactions to it! :) You may have answered this question before, but what translation of the bible do y'all use/recommend. I've been interested in checking out a messianic Jewish bible.

you two rock! Thank you for explaining Jesus in the context of 2000 years ago and also of today

Want to hear more from you two!!

What sticks out to me every time I watch this scene is when Nicodemus says he'll meet Jesus anywhere "even a tomb". It sticks out because - from what I understand - wouldn't meeting in a tomb make them ceremonially unclean?

Great review. And the music throughout these scenes is phenomenal. What a masterful job The Chosen has done. I really appreciate your Messianic insights to this. Thank You!

As a Christian who has grown up hearing him called Jesus and wondering why we don’t use his Hebrew name, it was refreshing to hear him called Yeshua. Loved your discussion and whole heartedly agree. He is the God we follow 🙂

I'm currently taking a course called the Jewish background of the new testimate, and yeah, it's complicated but puts a whole new way to view the bible.

So awesome that Kurt (Gaius) just got married.

As usual, a wonderful interpretation of what was happening during that time! Excellent Sam and Dr. Tom

Powerful 💥 ✝️

Oh how I love Jesus’ prayer for us…❤❤ one of my favorite passages in the Bible. Makes me cry every time I read it.

Thank you guys for another great video!! The comment Sam made about being humble and teachable is 100%! I don’t know how it is in anyone else’s life, but in my life God will put me in a place where I have to be reminded to open my heart and be humble, and open my mind so I can be taught☺️ My favorite phrase is “You learn something new every day”😁

Such great insight...love your responses to The Chosen as you bring them to our current day application of God's truth. Keep it up!

I really enjoy watching your reaction to this series. You always add your knowledge to what evades me watching by myself. I have learned a lot and you have opened my mind to deeper inquiries. God bless you for that.

If you are gentiles what makes you “ messianic” I love your show, I’m learning so much. I am a widow, and cannot afford to contribute to your ministry, but I pray for you.❤

I have read that a major difference in Sanhedrin was Sadducee’s did not believe in Yeshua/resurrection but the Pharisees did. Is that correct? I would like to learn more about Sanhedrin and how this council worked, voted, etc. It would seem they could not co-exist together if there was such a fundamental belief difference.

At the 3:00 mark, when Nicodemus is talking to Shmuel, and Shmuel says that God cannot manifest Himself in Human Form...didn't He appear to Abraham before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, where Abraham even ate with Him and the two angels with Him?? Maybe I misinterpreted that whole part of the story, but I always thought that God Incarnate (Jesus), along with the two angels visited with Abraham, and ate with him and then the two angels went off to rescue Lot, his wife, and the two younger daughters.

Excellent program !!! I enjoyed it so much!!! Thank you !!

I love you guys. Thanks so much!

Sam and Tom, I would love to know what version of the Bible you read James from-never caught the “demonic” aspect of jealousy before! Thanks for your work on this project about The Chosen!

I didn't know that you try to look at a subject from both sides, but I like the idea of trying to understand one another. 😊👍❤️

God bless you!!!

Hearing what you said about jealousy made me think of the internet preachers calling down the Asbury Revival.

Have you ever thought about the people (adults) Jesus healed and what happened to them after the healing? No job. To apprenticeship, to training. How did they support themselves?

I love you guys..

These guys are sick😂😂😂”Would you tear up a roof for me, friend?” “😳Uhhhhh……👀” loool

Do more please

Yall skipped the healing of the lepper?!?! Please react to full episodes!

Jesus was very good at ignoring the negative. Remember with Jairus daughter. The men came and said “don’t trouble the master, she’s dead”. The Bible says “ignoring what they said” Jesus turned to Jairus and says “don’t be afraid, just believe.” Sometimes we have to ignore the “they, them people “ who discourage or try to crush the little faith we have when we’re in a bad situation and trying to hold on. We have to keep the words of Jesus in our hearts and hold on and keep our eyes on Him.

You mentioned the 3 main sections of the Old Testament as the Torah (1st 5 books), the Writings and the Prophets. Where do the “history” books (Joshua through Esther) fit in? Are they considered part of the Writings?

As for being humble and teachable, how far is to far? At what point do you put your foot down and say, with true conviction, "THIS is truth" without becoming un-teachable and prideful. On the opposite end, how do you remain humble and teachable without being so open you end up "always learning" like cult followers?

What is Beth Medrash ..arguing scripturally ... Would be nice to see this more often in the church meetings.

Do certain sect of the ultra orthox today also only read the Torah?

Ability to debate a point isn't a true measure of veracity of the point.

Has anybody ever thought that the unmarried, very zealous Pharisee Schmuel could be Saul/Paul later on??

The Scene of Nicodemus (in 3:06 min the timeline) expresses the Almighty of God the Father, who can do whatever He wants. This explains why He chose NOT to use man's sperm and yet use a woman (Mary) in the virgin birth of His only begotten son (Yeshua/Jesus)!

Yes, when we get to heaven, denominations won't even be a factor. It's all going to be about Jesus.

What language was Jesus speaking in, in these public instances, then?

Why do the Saducees only have the first 5 books of the Bible. Because they were sad you see. - Fr. Mike Schmitz. I couldn’t resist

Zacchaeus climbed a tree.

It is John 17....

In Genisis 18

Mark the perfect man and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. Psalms 37:37 KJV We cannot out talk the Word of God. We cannot out live the Word of God. But we can live by the Word of God. If we wholly trust in the of Word of God. Proverbs 3:6; Luke 24:47; Acts 1:8; 2:37-38; 4:10-12; Eph. 4:5; Colossians 3:17 KJV Elder Anthony Sanders God’s Hand.

What about God appearing to Abraham when God was going to destroy sodom. What about God wrestling with Jacob

Tom speaking on different sects and ethnicity of Jews makes me think on why I hate when someone calls a black person “African American” not all black people who live in America is from Africa.

I Am "That Guy"

Jesus took human form with Angel, when visiting Abraham.

I already know Im that guy.

GET SOMETHING ON OUR MIND’S He have shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, Mark the perfect man and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. Psalms 37:37 KJV Beloved, if we get nothing else while on this pilgrimage journey traveling through this life, just remember, “only what we do for Christ will last”, only what we do for Him, will be counted in the end, only, what we do for Christ will last. We that have been on planet earth for a little while, are seeing before our eyes the crumbling of this society, men’s hearts are failing for fear, seems like trouble is on every hand, but be filled with the Spirit, your Lamp trimmed and Clear, look up! Your redemption is near. Stop “our” foolishness, and REPENT! Jesus is coming! Jesus is coming! Jesus is Coming! Allow the main thing of the main thing to be the main thing in our lives so we can be found among this called out group in “I Peter 2:9-10” KJV The Church of the living God! Will you be save today? St. Luke 24:47; Acts 1:8; 2:37-38; Eph. 4:5-7; Col. 3:17 KJV Not a sermon, just a thought. Elder Anthony Sanders.

Interruptions are so hard on people with attention deficit issues they lose track or someone living with dementia. It's very distracting.

The fact is that true Christians ARE ONE in Christ... but do not concentrate on that. We can have such sweet fellowship if Christ only is in the center of our gatherings. Leave the things that divide us and focus on Christ. The Lord grieves that His body is divided.

GOD'S CHURCH Are we in the Church Triumphant? I Peter 2:9-10 KJV The church was built by Jesus, it was built on Jesus, it is named after Jesus it is located in Jesus, it gets its power from Jesus, it does the work through Jesus, has the vision looking right at Jesus, it don't celebrate nobody but Jesus, it's a worshiper of Jesus, does the power and work through Jesus and ultimately, will be married to Jesus, and for eternity will reign with Jesus. Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:37-38; I Peter 2:9-10 KJV

The Sadducees ... only took the Torah´s 1st five book... That is why they were sad, u see ? The Pharisees were so quick to judge.. that is why they were not Fair u see ?🤣

Jesus was either who he said he was or a liar. And if he was a liar, he wasn’t “a great man.”

Yes, pay us reparations if you're diverse

Saducees didn't believe in the resurrection..that's why they were sad..you see?😂🤣

Especially the government doesnt see. When you fill out a slip to give to the government, because you give an offering to God, that requires your right and your left hand. Its not being a good steward, its being selfish. Declaring tithes and offerings to God to the government is wrong. You can do it and have your reward from them, or you can not declare it and have your reward from God. The scene is interesting in how they add to it. In the Bible, Jesus sees their faith. He is not asked to do something, but rather simply sees the faith of the men. there was no Ethiopian woman whose "faith is beautiful". This is why creating characters that did not exist in the Bible Gospels, can be very problematic. Just like later on with the Samaritans and how they are presented in this series as not having rejected the Messiah right after having accepted Him. But this was the very reason why the Sons of Thunder wanted to call down fire from heaven on them.

SAMAND TOM?MAKE TOO MANY ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT PEOPLE'S KNOWLEDGE OF JEWSH CULTURE.SHEESH.

Absolutely blasphemous show!
