Fun fact: the reason why the disciples ask if the blind man sinned to be born blind is because the early Christians believe that our spirits existed before our births (see Jeremiah 1:5) if our existence began at birth, then it would be impossible for the man’s blindness to be the result of his own sin, so the disciples would have never considered such a possibility and wouldn’t have asked.
One of the Early Church Fathers named Origen, who was considered the greatest theologian of the 3rd century, also taught that the spirits of men pre-existed.
@@KnuttyEntertainment There are no documents suggesting early Christians believed in the pre-existence of the soul. The disciples may have believed that the man born blind sinned in rhe womb. Origin was influential but had some neo-platonic beliefs that weren't mainstream.
Just curious... are you a Mormon? I ask because this is a Mormon belief.
I think this location change is permissible for a TV show for the sake of condensing it and to tie in the other teachings that they did. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. But I’ll echo back what Dallas said from the very beginning: go read the Bible which is the direct source.
I agree with you 💯
💯
NOTHING LIKE THIS IS "PERMISSIBLE". YES, GO AND READ THE GOSPEL INSTEAD. AND MEDITATE ON IT.
I'm not sure I agree. True, a location change if you assume that Jesus healed a blind person only once in this fashion. What's important is that God's word is getting out in a very credible context.
Yes-THIS!
This is a biblical drama in the classic tradition of screen dramas going back 70+ years (ie, faithful to the larger story and message, but willing to take a creative liberty here and there, for the sake of dramatic tension, plot arc, etc.). Dallas Jenkins never led us to believe it would ever be otherwise (..."if you want to experience 100% textual accuracy and no extra unwritten characters, situations, etc, then your bible is where you need to go for that. This show is not here to stand in for, or replace your printed scripture.").
I don't watch his interviews and live streams nearly as much as many others out there, and even I have heard him make this point countless times. That said, it is to his credit, that at certain points in the story-telling, he DOES go to even greater lengths than many of his predecessors in the field (Ben Hur, King of Kings, Greatest Story Ever Told, etc.), to stay mostly accurate on the scriptural details, wherever and whenever he can.
For those who aren't satisfied with such compromises, and want something 100% faithful, there exists in cinematic form (originally on Netflix-but now available to watch for free on RUclips), the moves, "The Gospel of John" and "The Gospel of Matthew," and all the other "Gospel of..." releases. All of these films, I'm told, consist entirely of narrated scripture, set to live action. That's it-no extra characters, no added situations, no extra this-or-that. Nothing is omitted either, so-fair warning-these movies are really, REALLY long. And on that last point, it bears mentioning that although the film franchise's faithfulness to the source material is second-to-none, the actual exercise of watching one of these epics from beginning to end can be, for some, a bit "like watching paint dry." (quote from an actual viewer, who went on to add that the act of quietly sitting and reading his bible turned out to be way more interesting and engaging to him than the 3-1/2 - 4+ hours of 'action' going on-screen).
So that's my take. Sorry to go on so long; I probably should have done this as my own post-lol! :-D
A subtle thing I loved in this scene was John writing the “Light of the world” quote while Matthew was busy pondering what it meant… which explains why it appears in John’s gospel only. 😂
That was funny I like the way they've been adding little bits & bobs in the scenes.
Remember, this is a tv show, im glad it inspired you to speak on something biblical, but again, tv show inapired by the bible. The show is the show, the bible is the bible, do not use the show as a substitute, its not trying to be the Bible.
Exactly. It’s like movie adaptions of books. Just like Lord of the Rings, Dune, Harry Potter, etc. they have differences from the source material, but what they do is also draw people into reading the source material and discovering the truth for themselves. So instead of criticizing the show for doing things differently, I see it as an avenue for people to get invested in Jesus and read the source material afterward to get a proper understanding. I see this as a win, but of course the sticklers need to make sure that everything is depicted accurately without any room for creativity or nuance.
Well said!
It's a little more serious than that. I watched two seasons and share my take on it..
Exactly. Well said. So far everything in the Chosen is in the spirit of the Gospel and points to it. We also know that Scripture doesn't document all of Jesus' miracles. If we watch The Chosen to find where they make errors, we miss the opportunity to encounter Jesus and grow in our faith.
The show has serious problems as is apparent to those who know the gospel accounts. Putting words in Jesus's mouth that he didn't say should raise everyone's hair. Sadly, it does not. This Jesus is a 21st century touchy-feely American caricature.
This is why we are to study. The Apostle Peter's wife Never actually appears in the Bible. She's referenced indirectly because he says Peter mother-in-law was healed. This lets us to know Peter was married Matt 8:14-15.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHOSEN AND HOW IT WAS DONE!!!
I pray Dallas Jenkins continue with other books in the Bible.
And theoretically he could have been a widower.
Addition and contradiction are 2 different things though for sure.
The first Pope was married.
I watched two seasons of the Chosen and share my view on it...
@@noneofyourbusiness2539Actually according to some tradition he was indeed a widower.
Because of The Chosen, I have been moved to start the seasons over and pick out scripture and sort the rest out. Love studying this even more.
It's important to point out the differences between The Chosen and the Bible. Yet, Dallas Jenkins has stated from the beginning that the TV show was never meant to replace the Bible and that he encouraged viewers to read the Bible for themselves. So, we're seeing things out of Biblical context, which means viewers who aren't familiar with this story could lose a lot. But the TV show is just a form of narrative storytelling.
People might forget that when they're caught up in the story.
@@Eman-vp5wk that's on them. If you forget something you were told repeatedly, it's not the person's fault for not telling you enough.
When the characters start to act in ways totally different from the Bible, then it becomes a problem.
Adding some things to flesh out the story that don't matter, like disciples playing board games, is fine. Changing their characters is not.
It means people are being deceived. The bible condemns this stuff. Of course it's in opposition to the real Jesus and bible. And it's made by people with a different Jesus. Catholics and Mormons.
@@joshportie if people are being deceived, it's because those people are stupid. With how many times Dallas has told people 'this ain't the bible, read it for yourself', nobody has any excuse to think it happened exactly like this. And where does the Bible condemn this stuff?
Dallas and crew have said multiple times, The Chosen IS NOT the Bible. THE BIBLE is the Bible. This is a TV show based on scripture. This is biblically inspired ENTERTAINMENT. That is all. There’s going to be things that don’t line up perfectly with God’s word and they acknowledge that. This is not a big deal in the context of what The Chosen is trying to do which is just entertainment. What this should do is inspire us to go read the Bible for ourselves and learn God’s words our selves
That's true, and this is the same as the book vs movie debate. If you watch the movie first, you become accustomed to that first, and likewise, of you read the book first, you are accustomed to it. The problem is that, because the Bible is infallible, whatever representation of it, whatever it may be, is obligated to make it represented correctly. Now, if you watch something as hooking as The Chosen, then you read the Bible, you realise that what you are accustomed to is different, and reading the source material, though it is the Source, it is different and therefore not as engaging.
That is a necessary and important disclaimer however it does not absolve them of the responsibility to portray the Bible as faithfully as they can as it is the word of God. This has a huge impact on existing believers (e.g. those newer to the faith) as well as unbelievers. Sure it is a TV show and they will need to take liberties to make it engaging but they can still do that whilst remaining faithful to Christ's teachings.
One big issue I had with S04E03 is that they're drawing an unbiblical parallel between David and Bathsheba and the death of Rama.
And yet Dallas has said he wants to present the "authentic Jesus." This Jesus is very much a 21st-century American idea of a therapeutic, feel-good caricature that undermines His divinity and makes him just one of the boys.
@@My_God_is_Jahovah And it depends on what version of the English Bible a person is reading. Most of all, the true meaning of the text in the Bible are in the original language which few people take the time to research.
@@andrewt3149 That is a back story to a plausibility of what is mentioned in the Bible. Remember, the Bible is not a documentary or history book. None of us know for sure what happened so it's very important to follow what Jesus taught, not what might have happened otherwise. The teachings of Jesus are very close to other Spiritual leaders in recorded history.
I thought for sure they would have included the “do you want to become his disciples”? Such a great part of this story.
Agree.
I have always enjoyed the Chosen show but this particular change I personally did not like. This scripture in particular holds a special place in my heart and my own healing journey and so much is just missed in its significance when its changed to fit a fictional storyline. The entire storyline of being sent out to be healed at the pool of Siloam holds great significance. You said it so well because it loses great importance which relates to many personally. Not only the pool itself being a mikvah but also the man's journey of faith and being a literal witness to bystanders watching him in the process of receiving his healing. It was not instant it was a walked-out process which speaks volumes.
Love this scene and show. Jesus is the God Man. Love the sweetness of people and Jesus
I have the same thought I had when Shula was healed.... Wouldn't it be amazing for the 1st thing you see is Jesus' face in front of you!? Wow! ❤
I remember seeing a video of Jesus performing miracles, and while he heals a blind man, he subtlety places the man’s young daughter in front of him, so she would be the first thing he sees. I think that is a beautiful notion as well.
My blind friend died a couple of years ago. We still talk about what she saw when she opened her eyes --- Jesus’s face!
Thank you for clarifying and the reminder the Chosen is not a replacement for the Bible but it really brings the Bible reading to a higher level even when they have to condemned stuff at least Dalals and the team try to stay as close to the intent of the message
❤
As Dallas has said many times, "THIS IS A TV SHOW, NOT THE BIBLE" Go to your source for scripture reading.
NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT
@@Eman-vp5wk Evidently not based on some of the comments. If people keep watching and reading their Bible more, that's all that matters to the Chosen writers. The more that people change their behavior and follow the teachings of Jesus, the better off this world will be.
@@Eman-vp5wk EVERYONE who has been following this show and spreads teh show knows and states it plainly and openly
That does not give license to write Jesus as something that he was not.
@@davidm4566 Actually, it does, legally. Think about all the films that have been done about historical people that are not factually correct. It's the nature of the film industry. Unless it's a documentary, producers and writers can do whatever they want. That's why it's so important for us to read our Bible.
Im watching Episode 3 After Show and Dallas explains why he changed cities. It makes sense to me why he did it this way.
Very interesting and well done. But again, remember Dallas has said this is not a replacement of scripture. If it is leading others to read the Bible then that is a good thing.
This actor is an excellent pick! Loved the way he played the role.
They needed something major to justify the big commotion to draw us into the scene with Ramah.
That makes sense since Jesus at least the Jesus I know, normally did not shout and agitate and provoke, he reaches into people's hearts with his gentle, compelling words that speak the truth.
@@BrownEyedGirl331 He did overturn money-changers and likely shouted in the temple though.
@@BrownEyedGirl331 There are absolutely time in which Jesus shouts, and I do believe this scene was one of them. IIRC there are exclamation marks in His quotes here, too, which further suggests He was shouting at them.
They could have done something else
They introduced a non biblical character for a totally unnecessary romance, who they then killer off - undermining the fact that Jesus healed EVERYONE. When He walked the earthquake death was literally on the run.
I enjoy the Chosen, but thank you for this breakdown! It’s good to know the differences and I think you did this in such a respectful and informative way! Loved the video man, keep it up!
I hope Non-Christians and new Believers read up for themselves , go straight to the source that being the Bible.... This show should always be treated as an Entertainment TV Show, no more no less
Well, I'd say more than mere entertainment. If not, I could be watching game shows.
Yes. Even Dallas himself advices the viewers to do so.
Amen. A great show. But a show, none the less.
@@chrisblanc663 👍
The Chosen is beautiful . It can be a tool for deepening Scripture reading and understanding . Shalom
I am an avid fan of The Chosen and I keep my Bible right next to me while I’m watching and in whole they are pretty accurate! And what they have done for the Lord is wonderful. So many coming back to the Lord and so many finding the Lord thank you chosen. You are all wonderful. God bless you.
I'll say I was disappointed that this scene didn't take place at the temple as scripture says and also that this took place before the pharisees were trying to stone him. But this show is bringing people to Christ and as a whole it's doing good and God is blessing the show. If you want the real truth though you need to read your bibles and this scene shows why.
Agree.
This is the Devil coming in sheep’s clothing. This show is showing a false Christ.
@@slpplz by changing locations where He healed people?
@@slpplz yes literally. It’s a tv show. The person pretending to be Jesus is actually a Catholic actor named Roumie.
@@slpplz This show is extremely anointed and the presence of the Holy Spirit is all over it. I've never seen another show so close to God's heart. Is it perfect? No. But it's bringing people to Christ. Like Dallas said, let the bible preach. He's not trying to replace it. You don't get it that the devil is out there and has been telling people how terrible Christianity is and they are now seeing just the opposite. How loving and caring Jesus was and how he stood up to the pharisees and religion. The truth is setting people free.
They actually found the pool of Siloam steps in the 80s in Jerusalem. I am from a town called Siloam. I was all excited waiting for the big moment! When they brought out the bucket I think I audibly sighed "awwwww..." But an amazing episode, though.
Brandon, this is my favorite story of the blind man being healed! Such great stuff here! 🥰💖🥲😊 I love how the blind now healed man says, " I don't know if this Man is a sinner or not, but one thing I do know, I was blind, but now I see"! 🥲 Soooo gooood! 🥰
If whatever comes out of The Chosen hopefully humans may have a better understanding of both the old & new testament.
That's the problem: nobody who watches this show is going to truly understand the First or Second Testament. This show promotes satanic ideas about Christ instead of what the Bible actually shows. Just look at how ppl zealously defend this show more than they defend what is in the Bible. The truth doesn't matter to them because they're too busy being fans of this show/Dallas Jenkins.
Best show on tv
The actor who plays Matthew is fabulous as are all the others
I was watching and stated.. "a bucket?"
I took the saliva and mud as Jesus using matter to heal, which he often does, though not always--God working through his creation.
Also saliva actually does have a medicinal purpose (albeit much more minimal than the ancients probably thought). But the enzymes in saliva actually soothe pain when applied to scratches and cuts (hence why we kiss our babies’ boo boos 😂). With that in mind I’d say it’s reasonable to speculate there really was *something* to the saliva Jesus used to heal the man born blind (but whether the amplification was inherent to His own DNA or applied by Him after the fact by choice is anybody’s guess🤷♀️).
There's also an interesting interpretation in Sight and Sound's musical production of 'Jesus' (Highly recommend by the way, though I'm not sure I fully agree with said interpretation) where the man says "I'm already blind. Why shame me further?" - to have a complete stranger spit in the earth and rub it into your face... I can imagine how embarrassing that must be - but then to be told to wash in a purification pool - the faith that must have taken to get up and go!
I think they had to do it this way for time constraints and costs. They would have to build the whole pool of Silom just for this scene since nothing else happens there. Its still effective and I think the point gets across plus doing it in Capurum makes it smaller for all the crowds that know Josia. Plus Raima getting killed by Quintas wouldn’t happen in Jerusalem so that storyline with Gias wouldn’t probably happen in Jerusalem.
I agree with you 💯! Those who are up in arms that this wasn't portrayed exactly as it appears in Scripture are blinded by their own zeal and rigid thinking. Thankfully, many comments are in favor of Dallas' decision.
Brandon, I agree with you that by eliminating this scene (go wash in pool of Siloam), which is extremely important in the blind man "acting" upon his faith and Jesus words. Faith must be followed by one's actions of which pleases God. Yes, the scripture is our primary source but Chosen has been gifted with a great worldwide platform, so let's be responsible for the accuracy of scripture. Some may not have access to the scriptures. One must be careful in the overstepping with one's poetic license. Great job, Brandon, with the deep dives and for calling these out!
YES!!!!! AND MANY DEVILLISH BLINDED FANS WILL OPPOSE TO THIS.
Who would not have access to a bible lol they are everywhere most churches will give them away hotel rooms have them! Settle down it’s a show they are not altering the heart of the message nor do they claim to be accurate
He has made a few mistakes, that can affect unity.
And I have been getting attacked and called horrible things, as have others.
Dallas definitely knew that this would happen, and did it anyway.
I agree I didn’t like they left out of Jesus saying go and wash and location of it but I don’t rely on the chosen to be the source of my faith
Where he washed was not what that Bible story was about. It didn’t matter where he washed what was important was the lesson and the results of Jesus healing him.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that. Biblically, when Jesus told the man to go wash his face in the pool, there was some significance to that. We can assume that the man had to be led by the SPIRIT to the sea because he was blind until he rinsed his face. That whole miracle was a great way to show God’s divinity so beautifully. I still love the show. ❤
As a US Navy veteran “snipe” I have to tell you a “snipe” is a Navy “engineer” or personnel who mans the “hole” or engineering workspaces from which the engines and auxiliary machinery is contained which propels the boat & creates water, power, etc.
I think it’s a meaningful word to use in your name! Have a good day & God bless!
Locations matter immensely in scripture. That’s part of the context for interpretation
Such an underrated channel with amazing breakdowns!
It was explained to my satisfaction in the aftershow. Lots was explained. I think it was the best after show to date, possibly.
Yasmine interview was so emotional. Great after show!
Bless you, Brandon, loved your breakdown of this passage. ❤🤗🕊🔥
"do you also want to become one of his disciples?" 😅😃🤣 Akiva's head wrap spins around his head!! 😅😄😃 Oh Akiva you are such a funny fool!!!
I was disappointed that they didn't give this miracle the attention and time it deserves. I'm moved often the great faith of this man how he testified of Christ to the pharisees.
Brandon, you brought out great points and information about what the show missed out on by not having it set in Jerusalem. And I agree they should have included all of the dialog that this miracle has in scripture, and the man's comments (spunkyness?😉) to the Pharisees, Do you want to become His diciples, too? I've always gotten a chuckle out of that, and, IMHO, fits the characteristics of The Chosen.
The story is a lot more powerful when you consider the man never SAW Jesus until after he got kicked out of the synagogue. He also worships Jesus when He identifies Himself.
Tv show tv show tv show although it was not the exact way it indicated in the Bible now the less no less impactful and shows Gods divine healing I don’t care where they portrayed the seen let’s not get caught up this is more the reason to read Gods word for yourself. I get the reason for the discussion hopefully it will push more people to the Bible but please let’s not make controversial it will drive people away Thanks
I love 💕 your comments!!! Keep up your great work, God bless you 🙏🙏🙏❤
I really hope they stick to scripture and historical accuracy when it comes to the last days of Jesus
But much of that scripture is contradictory. Which should they choose, Corinthians is the earliest but that doesn't mention the three women with spices at the tomb but Corinthians is the only source for the 500 witnesses. Then again Paul never physically met with Jesus, it was only in a vision that happened years after the resurrection. Mark says the women didn't mention the empty tomb to anyone while Matthew & Luke say the women told the disciples. See what I mean, it's a tricky one.
Nice job as always adding in the particulars of the Scripture to fill in what they didn’t show!
Blessed Sleuth! You know the geography well. How far would the blind man wouldve had to walk to get to the pool of Salome? And how odd a scene what with mud on your eyes! But he was used to navigating himself around so perhaps not that dufficult for him... the crowd wouldve followed him to the pool. Thanks for insight about the spit and the cleansing!
For the actual biblical story he would probably have to walk about half a mile or so, down a very long flight of stairs from the temple to the pool.
Thanks for all you do, I know I do not comment much anymore but I am always watching here and "there" .
I love this story as it helps us understand we lived before being born.
They wouldn't even ask the question did this man sin? if they didn't have the belief of life before this mortal life.
They would just assume that the parents sinned and not even ask the question.
Whenever I read this story in Scripture, it's always coated with a layer of frustration and dripping with sarcasm. I was kinda disappointed this one didn't have that. It's always gonna play out that way in my head, though.
One of my favorite episodes. I love the humor put in there if you catch it. The end of episode is a shock
By definition, a fictional Christ is a false Christ.
Aww, how awesome would it be, to be able to hug Jesus, in the flesh. For such a short period of time. Even though the flesh is really nothing. Compared to the entirety of His existence. Just hoping I can hug him when I die.
I like how Rabbi Akiva casually went from saying Shabbat to Sabbath and then back to Shabbat. Was that a slip up? Most likely not but I don’t get why it was done.
They use it pretty interchangeably I think
The problem when somebody says “just go read the book” is very plain and simple, people do not want to read books. Therefore, the medium in which the Bible is being represented should be exact given it (the Bible) is of God.
Also, regular degulars are going to say “oh I liked the TV show more” for whatever reason they’d like to come up with.
I think it is beyond Humans to alter the Bible for the sake of “entertainment”. in doing so, one would be saying that they know better than God on how to represent Christianity.
Great job Brandon. Love your fairness
... She was also in the very first Christmas 🎄 special... to me then, a "mysterious character" who did the very first moving monologue... I thought she was a new character like Yoshi's Philip, who would appear in the upcoming Season 2. I enjoyed the discovery... how the crew recognized talent and heart for the part. I loved the monologues beginning with hers. 14:57
I enjoy the Chosen and understand that it's a TV show. Several of the non-biblical scenes have been a great blessing to me and helped me to understand Jesus' character even more. I didn't like this change. You helped me to understand why the miracle of healing the man born blind just didn't have the significance and impact that I expected. It fell a bit flat for me. I thought it was the death of Ramah that overshadowed it, but now I see that it was more than that. Thank you for your commentary.
I agree about Ramah’s death overshadowed actual Bible, didn’t sit right for me.
I love your videos. I love how you go into detail to describe the scene and connect it to the Bible and historical culture. Even when you don’t agree (location of this scene or the olive press rocks, etc) you are very respectful. You obviously love “The Chosen” and have profound biblical and archeological knowledge. Thank you! I agree with you as in your overall assessment of “The Chosen.” It’s definitely my favorite show ever and can’t see it being surpassed. I’d give it an overall B- rating for accuracy for a biblical show, which is actually quite high for me because I’m quite picky with how the Bible is handled.
A kindred heart! Thanks for understanding lol
I don't like it being moved from Jerusalem, either, even though I heard Dallas' explanation for the change in the Aftershow.
This isn’t about this specific scene, but Season 4 has 3 of my favorite laughs. 1.) The joke about a leper and keeping the tip. 2.) when Jesus and Peter or maybe Andrew, I don’t remember, were resting after a tough day and Jesus bites into some stale bread and says “Wow”. And then “tastes like…the bones of Elijah”..and then hilarious laughter by them both.” 3.) When Lazarus walks out of his tomb and says he doesn’t want to offend anyone but underneath his death rags he’s naked,
YEP! Absolutely! They are beginning to lose the script!
I totally agreed with your sentiments!
It’s a story Giving perspective
The Bible is true. This is a story mimicking the Bible.
Does that make more sense ?
People that don’t like and criticize The Chosen are like the Pharisees during the actual time of Jesus. They just don’t want it to interfere with their beliefs and how they interpreted the Bible and/or take away from what they have been preaching to people. Or they are trying to profit off of their supposed disagreement with the show. In reality, The Chosen has brought millions of people closer to God and may have brought people to the word of God for the first time. In addition, you can read different versions of the Bible and get different interpretations. Lastly, as many have said including Dallas Jenkins, The Chosen is entertainment and you can read the Bible if you want the entire biblical version.
@@blindknitter neither am I and neither was Jesus. But, I am a Christian. Funny, the Jewish religious leaders didn’t think he belonged to their religion either. As I said above about those that criticize The Chosen……….
It doesn’t have to be exactly word for word like the Bible. Heck even accounts in the Bible differ some depending on the author.
There’s a difference between blind hate and what this video is about. I agree with this video because the show directly contradicts scripture here, which is a big problem. The cultural context of the pool of Siloam is completely missed from how they did this scene in the show.
I agree that The Chosen gets a lot of undeserved hate, it does a lot right. But this scene completely misrepresents the scripture and the criticism is fair.
Just by watching the thumbnail ik its going to be about the blind man having to go down to the well to wash his face instead of using the bucket😂
Not a well lol, the pool of Siloam
I agree with you Brandon!! It was a beautiful scene in the show, but I do wish they would’ve stuck to the point of accuracy in Scripture and had the man go wash in the pool of Siloam. Great job as always!! Love to you & Vanessa!!😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏
Same
And the best part is....Brandon here we are listening to you read the Scriptures. Isn't that great! Based on a true story. Amen.
Have to agree; this was, IMO, a significant but entirely unecessary deviation from the record.
I do love The Chosen even with its inaccuracies and "extra bits" and I trust Dallas' good sense in generally presenting a coherent story with dramatic overtones and visual appeal. To see this depiction of Jesus' life is amazing and captivating and we get immersed in the narrative, the dialogue, all that serves to make it run smoothly. We are the richer for having this wonderful show come to us and stoke the fires in our hearts with love for Jesus and the rest of his group!! Yes, it has poetic licence but in general the tone has been kept majorly accurate and even humorous so our interest is piqued. I do like to have things pointed out and I regret the Baptism and the Transfiguration were not shown but Thanks for what HAS been shown!!!!
I watched *two seasons* of the chosen and share my take on it.....
I always took these bible-based movies with a grain of salt. They're made for entertainment purposes so it makes sense that some things would be incorrect. But I get where Jenkins is coming from with setting the background for some of the characters and set the scenes.
What can you say about the healing of Gaius' son? I thought it happened on the previous episode. This repeated scene of Gaius with Jesus made me lose interest immediately. I don't like being fooled by Dallas.
Love❤ this!!
Wow. . . the parents kinda threw their son under the bus. But the son glorifies Jesus!!!
Yeah I hated that they changed the location. The location is critical to the story for so many reasons
I think it would have been beautiful if they would have done more of a POV from the blind man starting from seeing a bright sunlight and slowly focusing into the face of Jesus... Would have been absolutely amazing and touching🥺 Your thoughts Brandon???
Come on, people, it is a show, not the bible, and neither claims to be faithful word by word to scripture. Give them a break and enjoy the show. I don't see that much criticism for movies that deviate from historical truths. COME ON!
Occasionally when reading the original I think “man, imagine having to find your way to the well with mud over your eyes” then remember he was already blind and feel really dumb
So, where did you get that any skin condition is leprosy specifically? That is the first I heard and would like to know the source. Thanks!
Also, it was a mesh of different healing is what was in the after show (but ik you hadn't yet seen it when this was recorded).
PraiseGod ♥️ ♥️
Thank you Brandon!!!!
On the changes that we made to the scripture, why not ask Dallas why he did so, I am sure he has got this question before and if not would be willing to answer it for all the chosen fans!
At the very beginning of the series, before the first episode they had a disclaimer that said something along the lines of “not all locations and events will be accurate - timelines have been condensed for the purpose of brevity. As such, this is not a substitute for the scripture” … so yeah of course there will be discrepancies like this
Thanks!
Hello Brandon watching again 😊
I knew James didn't bring a bucket and that the blind man was supposed to go to the pool of Siloam in Jerusalem to wash. I allowed that the writers changed it up as a catalyst for their show for whatever reasons they had. To be sure, the writers knew the Biblical location of this event and changed it for reasons they would likely explain. Everyone should allow for poetic license. I myself can see clearly that this series has God's hand all over it. I think it is MUCH MORE than simple entertainment. It touches hearts with truth.
I think maybe the one you called "Jeb" could be the hooded person in episode 7 at Lazarus's tomb! He has the same facial features.
The season is good, but it's like 10% accurate. I don't remember ever hearing about a sassy, wealthy black woman following Jesus... They do that with literally every new series, they add a black person every so many scenes. I normally don't care, but this is the life of Jesus, it should be as accurate as possible, but it's not. I have to go back and reread my Bible just to make sure the show doesn't alter my memory of the scriptures. Like when they were all getting hit with rocks and Jesus says "I am God!" That never happened, or at least I've never read that. He did however say "If you've seen me, you've seen my father. My father and I are one". When they make something that's supposed to be Biblically accurate, but change parts to pander to a specific race, I have a big problem with that.
I love this scene ❤😂
Thomas was brought into this tragedy and scripture tells us we will go through trouble but Jesus will be there to walk through it all with us. Jesus showed up to share in Thomas’ grief but He did not promise us a pain free life.
I thought the same but realized they most likely changed it because it would have taken alot for the blind man to go down to the pool to wash. But agree that the faith element was taken out because of it.
You look at the beautiful box but forget to see the important things that are inside
Yep, this season kinda disappointed me with the changes made to Scripture. This one and one in the season finale stood out to me.
As they should, it's a show, not the bible. Enjoy the show, STUDY and learn from the bible.
@@beentheredonethat5908 I can't say much about the one in the season finale yet, but suffice to say it was a blatant omission of a phrase from a direct quote from Scripture that served no narrative or creative purpose whatsoever, but rather appears to have been done to make the show more palatable while compromising Jesus' plain language. It's the single most troubling moment in all of the show and seriously compromised my ability to trust the writers' intentions.
The Chosen audience has shifted. It now shifted to the non believer. I’ve notice the shift since Their new partners.
@xcrisologo4418 I mean that’s just not really true. Yes there are more non-believers watching than when it started, but that’s an amazing thing.
@@leib109well now you got me curious for the finally. I’m sure I’ll see what you mean when I watch it. Thanks for not spoiling it.
So what part don't you like?
How did the change of location of this miracle have a big impact? You didn't say. The message and story are largely the same.
+ I'm sure there were many blind men healed when Jesus moved the earth. not only 3 or 2. And there were many dead people in which Jesus skipped because it's not the time to raise them from the dead.
@@kerhabplays that doesn’t really answer my question.
@@SanzL1 Yes mine is just additional to what you said.
There’s a seemingly new character that I noticed. Dallas Jenkins posted a picture of him in his story and he was also seen in a very quick video of him and Mary Magdalene in yesterday’s shooting. Do you think the man is Paul??
I noticed him too! Interesting thought 👍
17:18 - Yep. The attitude of much of the world, today. Go and proclaim, anyway!
Why would you think all healings had a purpose other than the person needed and asked to be helped? He had compassion and I assume he healed many that didn't even get recorded.
I actually had a huge revelation while reading this scripture for the first time a few months back. I always thought it was strange that Jesus spit on the ground and stuck mud in a man's eyes to heal him when he had healed several people from death with just a word. However, when I read it in the NASB, something jumped out at me. If you read it in the King James version, you'll notice that in both versions they don't use the word "mud". They, instead, use the word "clay".
If you know your bible imagery, clay is almost always used to describe "us" in conjunction with the "potter" which is God. Now, if you look back to John 4:34 in the King James, something starts to become clear. "Jesus sayeth unto them, My meat is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work." Now reread John 9:3 at minute 5 of this video, Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him." Remember, the man was BORN blind. He had NEVER seen. To put it another way, he was "unfinished".
Jesus said he was here to finish the work of "him who sent me." That's his father. His father is "the potter". Now, if we are the clay, and this man is unfinished then Jesus needs clay to "finish" him. The gospel is full of blind men Jesus healed with just a word, but only one he healed with clay. The one who had NEVER seen. "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which means Sent)." Jesus was finishing the work of "him who SENT me." God just revealed that last part to me as I was writing this!
Thank you
I am yet to see Chosen portraying Jesus as God, whenever it comes to Him being worshipped it's conveniently not done.
