The best thing about this approach to storytelling is that it makes the truth more real. It does not replace the truth. It makes me want to read my Bible and think, “Could it have happened this way?” And often I conclude that, “Yes, it may not have happened that way, but it could have! It then makes me think outside the box and enriches my understanding and interpretation of scripture. The Chosen is a great show. I highly recommend it!

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.

Thank You for leaving us with such rich words that even if we study Your Word 24/7, we would still be in awe of what You have done and what You are doing. Thank You for such creativity, even by The Chosen Team. Thank You, Dallas Jenkins, and each and everyone who made a commitment to make this show possible." I can't wait for the succeeding seasons! Keep up the good work! :)

A discussion rich in wisdom, honesty and insight. More of this please!

I love the commonalities revealed through this discussion. Faith really is beautiful.

I am so impressed by the Rabbi and his appreciation of the authenticity of The Chosen. I'm a Catholic convert with deep love and respect for the Jewish tradition and the Hebrew Bible, which I have been spending time studying (in Hebrew). We are all children of the One Holy One - "Eyeh Escher Eyeh". This whole series rings true. Much gratitude for you all.

"blessed be the peacemakers" - this round table of religious traditions representation is a table where peace is existing - especially pertinent in view of history. it's a blessing that this TV show is assisting toward transcending beyond regrettable aspects of that past history

I really like how they did this. Please please PLEASE continue these round tables.

I love seeing this. The show is amazing! But the fact that people from several faith traditions can talk in respect for each other, that is terrific as well. We all worship the same God, after all!

That scene at the end with Jesus and Mary-- those words!!! I cry every time! Those words are exactly what we all want to hear-- You are mine! Well done!!!! This series has changed my life!

I am a lifelong Catholic and I really enjoy this show. God bless you!

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.

I love how much thought, prayer and contemplation went into the creation of each episode. Thank you for all of this work - it blesses and enhances the final product, for sure!

I have never seen Jesus portrayed in such a relatable way in any other movie or series. In other versions he always seems sad and disappointed because of mankind's ways. In this series he is totally relatable as a human being that you would have liked and been drawn too. I have seen the first season several times and recommended many family and friends to watch it including non Christians. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. I love that Jesus is shown with a sense of humor and kindness in getting to know everyone he meets. His understanding of each individual and love he has for his followers regardless of their past is truly a gift for your heart and has brought my personal faith closer to him. Thank you for this gift.

I really like the openness in this ecumenical discussion.

I want to share about my near-death-experience together with my deceased daughter. It's a NDE story about the way our lives are judged and measured and analyzed by ETERNITY. It's about the strength of forgiveness that can change everything for the better, even on the other side. It's a story of hope and blessings to everyone who is looking for a PROOF OF ETERNITY, and that's the title of my book PROOF OF ETERNITY by Alba Monn. It's a story of hope and blessings to everyone who is mourning about the loss of a loved one, especially for parents who have lost their own children. I came to testify that ETERNITY is a fact, that our loved ones live on on the other side, that they want for us to be comforted and completely consoled by the truth, because the truth will set you free. Blessings to everyone

I agree with what Dr. Huffman said about how we "flatten" scripture. I had a hard time relating to who each of these characters were. Perhaps it's a lack of imagination or something, but it actually made it harder to understand. I have since had a better understanding and relationship with my bible but it was seeing past the black and white text to do that. This series has furthered my understanding of scripture by understanding the possibilities of what their character was like.

I am only alive due to Jesus. I was supposed to be dead from a car wreck on Oct 22, 1999. Almost 21 years. I love these films.

This did start the series off with a tremendous bang. I dont normally like to watch the thing with powerful spiritual significance being dissected down to the nuts and bolts for it tends to 'naturalize' and minimize a the thing that had a spiritual weightiness; however, I enjoyed this discussion greatly and appreciate the varying religious perspectives.

Is there anyone who was raised in Christianity who didn't wish they had lived in the Bible Days and experienced seeing Jesus and the disciples? I know I did ! This Series is giving me a chance to Be There, to Experience personally the life of Jesus. There is a huge Emotional Impact and not just when there are Miracles. Seeing people's lives changed by their contact with Jesus is so moving. I have been brought to tears for some reason in Every Episode, in both happy and sad situations.

1st time listening in on the roundtable discussion. Really appreciate the depth of searching and understanding. These teachers really teach!

This is so interesting and the fact that you have cared about all of the faiths that are affected by the story of the chosen and accepted their counsel is obviously a strong component of why this series resonates with so many and touches us on a deep level. One thing that is confusing to me it that I always thought the admonishment at the end of Revelation applied only to the Book of Revelation. The New Testament as a whole was not put together as a "book" until after John's time.

I would like to tell you that I was gambling, not drinking and was touched by the Holy Spirit. I didn't even know it was the Holy Spirit. I knew instantly that something Holy touched me. I ran and told my husband something Holy touched me. That day changed my life forever... Love the Chosen.

What a great table talk. Thank you for this Dallas! Clarifying the purpose of the why and how the chosen came to life is fantastic. I've read the bible many times and I still have many questions to understand what was going on in that time. Your project has just been a bigger resource to my learning of the word of God. My imagination has never gone so far like yours has. Thank you for being so creative and bringing something new to us all. I am enjoying everything you and everyone involved are doing, the behind the sense, funny videos, the set, getting to know the cast,, etc.

I just praise God for the huge amount of work Dallas, the cast and the crew are putting into creating the Chosen, yet making sure it honors Scripture by consulting Bible scholars. Many thanks!

Hello Dallas I just want to say thank you for showing Peter breaking the commandments of the Sabbath cause many, many , many of us do that and that's what is happening. This literally helps us understand nothing happens when you put everything else first and God last or even so it is ok to break a commandment for our needs cause our needs are provided by our Heavenly Father so really it is not an option or a choice breaking a commandment. We have to keep each of them.

In the last day there will only be two churches. I love the unbiased faith of those who love and serve God coming together to make this film. It's a beautiful work.

I disagree as a Catholic. I have no qualms with Simon Peter and how he was portrayed. We remember that Peter denied knowing Christ 3 times. He was anointed on Pentecost and went on to head the church and die for his faith. Saints were human ! They struggled and inevitably chose to give it all to The Lord in true obedience. No need to be scared of that portrayal. Love the show!!

Thank you Dallas for being so open-minded to have an open discussion and understanding of all denominations. You are a role model for the world for how disagreements or differences can be done respectfully. I wish our entire world in the religious and political Arena could work that way! Wouldn't that be amazing?! We all love our Lord and we all are doing our best to serve him.The panel was very kind and understanding and respectful of each other's differences. Dallas I understand that some evangelicals believe that we Catholics idolize statues but that is not true we honor the beautiful historical religious people in scriptural history.We honor Mary the Mother of God, we do not worship her. Miracles have been done through the power of Jesus through his mother with many miraculous appearances through history to encourage people to pray . Catholics pray to Mary with the Hail Mary prayer using verses from the scriptures of the Bible to ask her to pray to her son Jesus for us as her intercession with Jesus is a very strong bond. That bond is beautifully exemplified in the movie The Chosen. Great Job Dallas!

I loved listening to this dialog. Fascinating ! Thank 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.

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.

We a militant saints by grace in faith.triumphant saints when rest in the Lord.

Not only did they kiss, they unapologetically flirted with each other which made them so real as a sexually healthy, married couple.

Dallas, I am a modern Catholic, so I don’t know why other Catholics will take bad. I am new to you, your community and especially to The Chosen. However, I love this type of round tables and for what is worth, you should keep doing them. God love you and your family.

I am so glad you guys are having these discussions. It’s just so cool

Thank you Dallas, for acknowledging what Greek believers have done for Christianity. Its often overlooked

Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life

These discussions are superb. Watched them all in the chosen app.

Great to hear this, cleared a lot up in my mind!

This is so good! We definitely need more of these!!
