As I was trying to find The Chosen episode regarding The Sermon On The Mount in order to share it with a friend to give her evidence of how unbiblical The Chosen programs are, I came upon the very well documented video above.

A few months ago someone had posted a portion of The Sermon On The Mount episode on Facebook that was featured in an article warning about this series, and I was deeply troubled at how Jesus was portrayed! They showed Him doing sermon prep; practicing to make sure that He didn’t mess up! It appeared to me that they were trying to overemphasize the humanity of Jesus, which completely detracted from and distorted His deity!! What does God’s Word say? Can we find anywhere in Scripture where He practiced before He spoke to the crowds of people? No! On the contrary! Listen to the words of Jesus Christ, Himself:

“Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” (John 12: 44-50)

“I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it. And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.” (John 12:49,50)

“Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will,  he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh of his own glory. But he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.” (John 7:16)

“I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. ” (John 8:26-28)

For those of you who watch this series — The Chosen — I pray that you will take the time to watch the above video and pray about continuing to watch this series. Personally I watched just one episode and, unless for documentation purposes, I will never watch any more, especially after doing some research on it and watching the above video!!

We have the very words of God — the Bible — why would anyone want to watch this series in which there are so many compromises with Biblical truth made? Yes, producers, etc., have artistic license,  but to present things that are not in Scripture that clearly affect and rob Jesus Christ of his deity is a serious problem!!

Some of the many troubling things that you will see in the above video:

The many ties that Dallas Jenkins has with Mormons, who believe in “another Jesus” and “another gospel.” (2 Corinthians 11:3,4 Galatians 1:6-9)

How the main character who plays Jesus — Jonathan Roumie — is a Catholic who is also a member of the Knights Templar, and strongly promotes Catholicism to his followers on the Internet by his posts and by praying the rosary, praying to Mary and saints, etc.

So much more could be said, but since my time is now very limited, I think you will find more than enough evidence in the above video to clearly show you the serious concerns many have about The Chosen series, especially regarding Mormonism, Dallas Jenkins, who (states that Mormons and Christians “love the same Jesus”) and the main character who plays Jesus Christ –Jonathan Roumie. [Note: Mormons are very kind and loving people who may be very sincere when it comes to their religion, but they are deceived and sincerely wrong regarding their beliefs if you test them against Scripture and in context. Here is just one of their unbiblical beliefs: “As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become.” ~Mormon Apostle LeGrande Richards. This is extremely similar to one of the teachings of Catholicism that can be found in The Catechism of the Catholic Church in Para 460 which states: “For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.”]

NOTE: VIDEOS ADDED FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES. I MAY REMOVE THEM AT THE END OF THIS MONTH BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THESE VIDEOS TO CAUSE ANYONE TO BE LURED INTO CATHOLICISM

UPDATE:

Praise the Lord, I now have a childcare job! I am so very thankful for how God amazingly provided this job for me! This means that my free time is now very limited. However, when I see the need to write something, I will do so when time allows.

Thank you very much for stopping by today.

God Bless You
