Questions for Those Christians Enamored with The Chosen

Is it right to make up stories about Jesus? Wouldn't that be another Jesus? (2 Corinthians:11:4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
See All...)

Many who watched The Chosen noted that whenever they thought of Jesus, the image of the actor portraying Him came to mind continually. Is that how Jesus wants believers to know Him?

The Word of God was given by the Holy Spirit to holy men of God to be written down by them (2 Peter:1:21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
See All...). Can the same be said of the screenwriters who wrote words to be said by those pretending to be Jesus, or Matthew, or John, or Simon Peter, etc., etc.?

How much “artistic license” is acceptable before The Chosen becomes an act of blasphemy?

If I accept the made-up characters presented in The Chosen as biblical,wouldn't that make me more susceptible to accepting the made-up characters in, let's say, the Book of Mormon?

Those are just a few questions that came to my mind regarding The Chosen. These kinds of questions will continue for the next two newsletters. My purpose is to get those being seduced by this series (produced by Mormons pretending to be biblical Christians) to really think about what they're watching. Send me some questions you would ask those who are in fact controlling the program's content and those who are enamored with it.

One final question for this installment: Does the screenwriter Dallas Jenkins realize he is a latter-day Joseph Smith? Jenkins made up The Chosen stories mostly out of his imagination (according to him). Out of Smith’s imagination came the Book of Mormon (according to Smith’s mother).
