The Chosen's biblical roundtables: Full episode one discussion 

exactly!! this show made me relate to all these events as sommething that happens today, to us, to me and not something that happened once and thinking in probabilities is what life asks from us ALL the time....and i was thinking why nobody ever showed it this way:)

I'm so happy with how we can all feel this about this show.

that is what skilled preachers of the Bible do. They must use pictures. Our minds work that way. Havent you heard, a good picture is worth a thousand words.

I felt like one of them was about to walk off in a huff about something during that scene. But then I realised my expectation of this comes from secular tv shows

Agree, I welcomed that scene and keep it in my heart for ever. Movies and other shows should learn to bring back this scenes.

I agree with your viewpoint 👍 . Scripture says when 2 or more are together , Jesus is there also !!! A couple with Strong Faith and Love will always have Jesus with them. A true blueprint for happiness and blessings. A powerful scene for sure 💖

I felt like juice coming out from the tank was like scary sorry for bein a weirdo

@@sarahd3307 it also could have been symbolic! I did think about how wine was made when I saw that. We are all weirdos in some way haha. God loves Weirdos!

Carolyn Edgar you took the words right out of my mouth. So amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dallas, beside talking too much, is a genius thinker.

@@mariaesparza4067 amen🤗

Absolutely!

@@carolynedgar1090 yes

God bless you 🥰 It not about religion its about relationship. Jesus came to save the sinners. -Once was lost but now I am found.

Catholics, original Christians, added doctrine based on what they knew to be true through sacred tradition and clarify teachings from the bible. It does take away from the bible. It only provides a deeper understanding of it. This commentary is a bit screwed towards the "protest"ant mindset. :-(

@@annab3868 The guy in the yellow sweater for sure was confrontational and condescending towards the priest the entire conversation. But whats new with a protestant acting anything but "christian like" towards a catholic.

@@tun6006 me. But it's probably the pagan stuff that gets him, not the guy himself.

@@annab3868 I think you meant to say, it does "Not" take away from the Bible

Hi! Fellow catholic here, I would love to know more about that doctoral work on Jesus's humor! I've always think that he must be really joyful and funny. We have humor, and it's good, so it must come from Him! Good luck and God bless

Also a fellow catholic and would love to read your work on Jesus humour, since I was a child I always pictures God and Jesus in my prayers as someone kind, but also humorous, it took me some time to realize a lot of people didn't share their view (which really saddens me) so both this show and your work, really interests me.

Pretty please, let us read your doctoral work once it's finished. I'm so joyful just thinking of it God bless you 🙏

How do you know what Yeshua looked like? The fact that you frame your image of Him as important to you, instead of allowing Scripture to define and interpret Him, makes me wonder if you have even read the Bible?, and seen who He is really, because if you had with eyes that truly see, and ears that truly hear, you would have noticed how the Most High is described, His physical attributes, and that Yeshua ONLY cared about the heart. Yeshua wouldn't care one bit about how he was portrayed in terms of His physicality, only that His words were accurately portrayed so that their meaning and their Spirit brought clarity, clarity of His Spirit, His Love, and His Light! You sound like one of these "woke" lunatics that are ruining the world, and our country, lost in their darkness, and the darkness of the world, the world of illusion.

@@j.b.8767 you can grab your judgement of me (which is stupid I have read it several times from childhood to now) and kindly keep it to yourself

I, too, am 86, a cradle Catholic, am blown away by the effort and study and study you have put into this series. The Ignatian way of reading and meditating on Scripture is so evident.

You will watch all the seasons, all of them

for your own sake come into communion with the Chruch, not matter how bad it seems from time to time we need humility you have precious little time to do so

May The Lord continue to bless you and keep you strong.

Well to be fair if you don’t make it the show you will be seeing will be way better 😉.

@@Captain-Awesome My thought exactly. ❤️

You are not alone. Most of us do. Of course, that is the will of God that we know that He is always with us and we have an intimate relationship and The Chosen aims to achieve that and many other important messages of the Gospel.

@Gabriel Wilder I can't believe this worked! Give it a try!

@Emilio Remington bots

@Clouseauish the God one

are you nuts? Catholics are NOT Christians.

I’d say being “open minded” in the sense of allowing room for totally opposing views, especially ones that clearly contradict scripture, is dangerous. we are told to test all things, and that the spiritual man judges all things.

My fave also!! 👏🙏❤

The woman kept building religious barriers " thats the fountain of our father Jacob"..." thats the mount we worship"... and Jesus just catch her attention with the things she really needed to hear, unfolding her heart to the truth she needed a Messiah more than man made traditions, desperately. Hes always one step ahead our best arguments hahah

Hallelujah 🙌✝️ Jesus has literally saved my physical life SO many times I can't count anymore. Hallelujah 🙌

Jesus needs you J Burritt! And He loves you ❤

May God continue to be with you ( I was born that exact date)

GOD BLESS YOU WERE SAVED

are you nuts? Catholics are NOT Christians.

@@56pjr False

The Catholic Church never has: “fully God, fully man.” Hypostatic union.

We are all saints in the making, I agree. Jesus only got the process started

@@FiatVTua333 Yes. But I'd say much more than that. We are saints in the present. We have been given His righteousness. We grow into who we already are in Him. Bless you 😁

In the Catholic faith a saint is a person who makes it to heaven. Saint with a capital 'S' is a someone who has Died and has enough miracles attributed to the intercession of that person therefore we KNOW that person is in heaven. We believe the miracles would not have happened if that person is not in the presence of God in heaven. They are in God's presence in Heaven which is why the miracles came to pass. To clarify, God chooses to grant the miracle because of the Saint praying for it.

am thinking the context was more about canonization of an honorific sainthood status - not salvation status. Evangelicals might be ok with St. Peter or St. Paul, but start to squirm a bit when going beyond the apostles in so far as using that appellation as part of the person's title

amen, if we’ve been sanctified by the blood of Jesus then we are saints

are you nuts? Catholics are NOT Christians.

@@56pjr how dare you judge my salvation! Judge not lest you be judged. For with what judgement you judge, you shall be judged... Matt 7:1-2 I am a convert to Catholicism & have never seen such a Christian people or sincere Christian worship.

@@56pjr what a ridiculous claim. come on now.

You mock God's Word, the bible. Repent or burn.

@@56pjr Only God decides that so SILENCE, is it you who spoke everything into being? Where you there to witness His glory? I know you meant it good but don't just "yell" repent or burn because it's not up to you. God bless you and don't take this as an attack of sorts I just want to tell you to share info better and not like that.

Agree and thankful.

yeah evangelicals is really annoying lol, they are just spiritually dead, most of the american one

@@feliciaf8 how many do you actually know , personally?

@@feliciaf8 evangelicals put this show together. Dallas is an evangelical.

@@liljade53 yeah that's the sad part, i hope it was written by catholics or orthodox

@@feliciaf8 LOL, whatever

i just want to say this... cool profile picture lol

Agreed.

Right, for instance, the episode of the Samaritan woman is a great example of wonderful perception and incredible discernment. One of my favorite scenes!!!🙏❤👏🥰

Well N's wife didn't know he met the Messiah. You cannot compare both situations and shouldn't blame N's wife

Your not alone in that. Learned of it a few months ago and tried to watch the first episode, couldnt get into it. There was alot of distractions while we were trying to watch. Revisited it a couple weeks ago.....and really engaged! Binged the entire first season, and first three episodes of S2 in a couple days. Absolutely cannot get enough of this bonus content now waiting for new episodes to be released.

are you nuts? Catholics are NOT Christians.

funny, my grandmother would not allow us as Catholic boys to play with the quiji boards as she would caution: when you open that door you have no control over what comes through that door.... scared the bejeebers out of us!

I played it and paid dearly for it many years later. Had Jesus not stepped in, I wouldn't be here now.

@@mountainwarrior8387 PRAISE THE LORD!!!! If you need anything let me know!! God bless you brother or sister!

@@mountainwarrior8387 omg What happened??

@@chelseaxoxo784 When I was eight years old, I and several friends were "playing" with a Quija board. Whatever was guiding it seemed to focus on me. I asked its name and it spelled out "Joe Joe". Being young and, let's face it, stupid, I was flattered. Off and on for the rest of my life, supernatural things begin to take place. Nothing scary, at least not at first. When I was in my mid-30s, I knew without a doubt the "nothing scary things" began to take on a much more ominous presence. I began to hear vile threats against my life and those of my family. In shark terror, and scrambling to hold onto my sanity, I screamed, "Who are you??" I heard these simples words and thought my fate was sealed. "We are Joe Joe!" Words cannot be to describe my sheer terror. For the next eight months, I was tormented day and night, ending up in several institutions where no one could help me. Many, many times I called out begged God to help me. I thought my cries were falling on death ears because I had done this to myself. One day in the middle of my madness, the voices stopped; the tormented ended. God has stepped in and set me free! God gave me many dreams to confirm to me that He would never allow it to happen again and He's answered my many questions about why it happened in the first place. It's very long and very powerful story. But more important than any of it is the fact that God loved me enough to set me free and I give Him ALL GLORY AND ALL HONOR for His mercy and grace!!!

Absolutely

used to be these traditions really upheld but not anymore

Bird man: I don’t agree or understand ! Do you practice your faith? If not how can you judge others?

@@jamesmaher1989 yeah you don't understand what i'm trying to say. yes i practice my faith but i'm still in the fork road of Catholicism or orthodoxy. what i'm trying to say is about protestantism

birdman that’s ok 👍 perhaps each faith tradition helps us to approach and draw closer to God? Perhaps no single tradition gives us the whole picture?

Same here. The practice of imaginatively reading the scriptures by St Ignatius of Loyola is truly a powerful and immersive experience. (See Ignatian Contemplation) It's like a time machine that transports you to Jesus' time. I imagine how I would feel, what my reactions would be, what I would say to Jesus, and what He would say to me. Sometimes I imagine I'm one of His disciples. There are moments when I'm crying especially when meditating on the passion narrative/the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. When meditating on the mysteries of the rosary, I imagine holding Mother Mary's hand as she walks me through her Son's life and try to empathize with her and imagine how she's feeling; like when the Angel Gabriel appeared to her in the annunciation, her worry when her Son is missing, her agony when her Son is being humiliated, tortured, and killed, etc.
