Hi guys,
I just started watching “The Chosen” recently, and it’s my favorite show! (I’ve already gone through it twice:) It’s based on the greatest true story of all time. You can stream it free on their free app (add free); in many languages. Come and see for your selves!

@erdenpilger by “at first” do you mean you don’t like it now? If so, why?
@Toolman yes. I mentioned my reason briefly in the second paragraph. But I'm no native english-speaker, so, if I made a mistake and/or you don't understand me I'm happy to explain.
I just don't have much time left for today, might be tomorrow then...
@erdenpilger Okay, I think I understand now. You didn’t like how they portrayed Jesus in the show, right?
@Toolman yes, I find the movies deceptive in their emotionalism and how they portrait Jesus.
When I read the word, it's hard for me now to get his image out of my head which I feel is so unreal. (Too old, long hair, soothing smile, joking around etc.)
@Toolman I mean, to live by emotions is a deeply humane problem. Some people have none, some live by it.
Jesus never lived by emotions, He was led by the Spirit (which is so deeply foreign to US/ME), so, although I cried several times out of joy when I first saw it I later discovered that this (wrong) focus was intended and misleading...
@erdenpilger you raise some fair concerns. I appreciate you sharing them. I’m going to give them some thought.
@Toolman well, I'm honestly amazed. I didn't expect that answer, but I'm glad you gave it. 🙂
@Toolman
Have you started season 2 yet? Brand new! Really makes you think about our walk with Jesus.
@lynnexxa yes. Its off to a great start!
@Toolman Finally gave it a viewing yesterday and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. Maybe after seeing more I’ll know. I can’t help but go into Bible movies/shows with the shields up because of the inevitable artistic liberties that have to be added in that format. Such a hard thing to get right.
@daniel that’s understandable, I had my doubts going into it.
@Toolman
I watched it too and liked it at first.
Now: read your Bible and try NOT to think of Jesus as a 42 year old long haired man joking around with an hypnotic smile ...
