Our family enjoys The Chosen. We know people moved to faith or renewed in faith and driven to Gods word because of The Chosen. But there are some things to keep in mind.
Only God’s word is truth. All extra biblical media must point to the true word of God.
“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/jhn.17.17.ESV
Avoid “other” Jesus’ and gospels. Do not be drawn to “the Chosen” Jesus, but let the chosen draw you to the true Jesus as revealed in scripture.
“I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me! For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.” 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/2co.11.1-4.ESV
“For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.” Galatians 1:11-12 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/gal.1.11-12.ESV
Always beware of false teachers, prophets pointing to false Christ’s.
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” Matthew 24:23-24 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/mat.24.23-24.ESV
Add nothing to God’s word.
“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/pro.30.5-6.ESV
Jesus was not just an Angel as some false religions believe
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” Hebrews 1:1-3 ESV (all of Hebrews 1) https://bible.com/bible/59/heb.1.1-3.ESV
Come and see TheChosen.tv
For a well thought out counter position read “The Chosen” Fiction
“The Chosen series is condemned by the Bible first and foremost because it adds man’s ideas (his beliefs, concepts, viewpoints, conceptions, images, perceptions, his religions, and especially his feelings, etc.) to what God alone has communicated. It makes no difference how far afield the additions are—even the smallest contribution would not be of God, but of man.”
