The Chosen Movie – Prayers to Mary Behind the Scenes
“The Hollywood Jesus everyone loves!! Dallas Jenkins, the writer of this fraud movie, was quoted as saying he is a ‘four-and-half point Calvinist’ and admits to using the John Macarthur Bible when writing scripts. Could it be any worse? Antichrist! 2 John 7.” Karen | Calvinism is Demonic

I HAVEN’T watched “The Chosen” because it is comprised by MORMON’S AND CATHOLICS joining together in the One World Harlot religion that JESUS & His Apostles warned about. Angel Studios is comprised of Mormons and they crowdfunded up to 40 million dollars from the public to make $$ off promoting a ‘false JESUS’ to the world and set the world up to believe false teachings.
The material below is from Randall LaCelle. I don’t know him to recommend him, or if he is following JESUS or is qualified to teach GOD’S WORD, but he has taken the time to warn of the problems below:
This show blends every major religion into one pot: a mystic, pantheistic, ecumenical, feministic, Jesuit, and Mormon golden calf. It is candy-coated with Biblical references to appear Bible-based while treating the Word of God as just another book and blurring any distinction between God’s remnant movement and the apostate church. Let’s look at examples of how this show twists Scripture and demeans Christ:
#1 – “Follow Your Heart” — but not to Christ
Jesus meets Nicodemus in “The Chosen” series, and much of their conversation seems scriptural. There are subtle changes, however, such as adding, “What does your heart tell you?”—a popular Disney line. (Remember, the Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9 KJB.) Later in the series, Jesus says, “Soon it’ll all be about the heart.” Subtle is the nature of such mystic teachings. It’s worth noting that in this same scene, Nicodemus kneels at Jesus’ feet and “The Chosen” Jesus stops him, telling Nicodemus he doesn’t need to worship Him. The Catholic Church hates the worship of Jesus, and “The Chosen” follows suit.
#2 – A Hearsay Gospel
Throughout the series, disciples like Matthew and John interview people, running around with notepads and writing down hearsay that will become their supposed Biblical books. In one case, a woman runs by, crying, “He healed me!” Matthew, in desperation, calls her saying, “Healed you of what?” The show attempts to destroy the inspiration of Scripture, portraying it as a common book comprised of hearsay.
The Bible says, “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:21). 1 John 1:1-3 declares the gospels as eyewitness accounts, and 2 Peter 1:16 echoes this truth. Yet according to “The Chosen,” John 21:25 came from Mary Magdalene and not John himself. In their rewritten gospel, “The Chosen,” Magdalene plays an oddly feministic role for that time period and even becomes a disciple, traveling with Jesus. There is a subtle deconstruction of inspiration, transforming the Bible into a book of hearsay and fables rather than truth.
#3 – An Arrogant Forerunner
In “The Chosen,” John the Baptist is arrogant, disrespectful, and always questioning Jesus. In one scene, Jesus says he is not ready to get into specifics, and in a flippant voice John the Baptist responds, “You appear to not be ready to get into the specifics on a lot of things.” In a previous discussion, Jesus speaks to John the Baptist regarding incest and adultery, saying, “I understand it is against the law of Moses, but I am here for bigger purposes than breaking rules.” This gives the impression from “Jesus” that John, who is about to confront Herod, is uninspired and even foolhardy, and that “Jesus” doesn’t care about the Ten Commandments.
As if seeking attention, John tells Jesus he is planning on marching into Herod’s palace to tell him off, and then adds, “My followers will love it.” This isn’t what happened! In the Bible, John stated, “I must decrease” (John 3:30), so why does The Chosen portray him as arrogant?
#4 – Destroying Scripture for Satire
While John the Baptist disrespects Christ, Peter disrespects John the Baptist, calling him “Creepy John.” In the show, Peter and his brother describe John the Baptist, saying, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29)—and do so in a way that destroys the beautiful solemnity of that moment. Peter’s brother begins, “He said ‘behold’…” and Peter interjects, “I am eating a bug.” This lame, sacrilegious attempt at humor ridicules John’s recognition of Jesus as the Messiah and undermines the whole message—including Christ’s divinity.
In the show, Peter comes up to Jesus and says he will go with Him to the ends of the earth, a reference to Luke 22:33. Biblically speaking, this was a monumental point in the conversion of Peter. But in “The Chosen,” this moment is destroyed when “Jesus” responds, “I hope so Simon, but I seem to remember there was a problem… something about Andrew’s feet.” This is disgusting. Peter had an unconverted heart that would make it impossible for him to keep his promise to Christ, yet viewers of “The Chosen” will never know how Jesus reveals the truth to him. The show subtly distorts the Bible, belittles Christ, and is a subtle error of a most disturbing nature.
#5 – Uplifting… Mary
Mary worship was brought into this show by Roman Catholic influence. In Catholic belief, Mary is above Christ. In the show, Mary provides strong emotional support. Jesus says things like, “What would I do without you?” instead of demonstrating Christ leaning on His Father, as Scripture clearly states. The writers insert theology that is not found in the Bible but rather in the Catholic tradition.
#6 – A Doctrine Swap
Show Producer Dallas Jenkins stated in an interview, “Our intentions are different from the Bible’s intentions.” The Bible’s intentions were to uplift Christ, so what are his? He states that the show will be “what the audience wants or needs to see.” This TV show, carefully crafted to tug at your emotions, doesn’t encourage viewers to sacrifice cherished sins. It subtly swaps Scripture for mystical Catholic doctrine and cheap humor. Furthermore, show writer Tyler Thompson claims the Bible is, “good literature” but not infallible.
During a discussion between the Mormon partners and the show’s host, they joke that the book of Revelation instructs us not to add to the Bible. The show host, Dallas Jenkins discusses with them how it is okay to ignore what John said in Revelation and add to the stories of the Bible (for the series). He later states, with a grin—and please do not miss this—“The people who only want to read the Bible won’t be watching this series.” Friends, if the show’s partners claim that viewers purely adhering to the Bible won’t watch their show, we should run as fast as possible. We are Bible purists!
#7 – Disciples or Drunks?
In the show, many Biblical characters are depicted as drunks. In the show, our first encounter with Nathanael portrays him as a drunkard and a failed architect (Nathanael is just one of the misrepresented biblical characters). Circumstances prompt him to drown out his failure in the pub, a common backdrop in the series. Why would the show present Nathanael in such a light when Jesus Himself declared, “Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” (John 1:47)? This show would lead us to believe that these things are compatible with Christianity.
#8 – Repentance Not Necessary
Although the true Jesus preached repentance, in the first three seasons of “The Chosen” you might hear the word mentioned three or four times total—and casually, without conviction. This is intentional. When “The Chosen” Jesus supposedly quotes Luke 5:32 in the show, he omits the word repentance and simply says he is “calling sinners.” Calling sinners to what? The show is calling sinners to a false gospel where repentance is not needed.
#9 – Demeaning Christ
To bring God down to our level, “The Chosen” includes a scene where Jesus prepares a sermon and rehearses well-known passages, making them feel more human and common than inspired by His Father. His mother interrupts him during one of these rehearsals, and you can see the frustration in his eyes. During this same interaction with Jesus and Mary, she says, “I’m proud of you” to which this supposed Jesus replies, “Maybe wait to say that until after I’m done, in case I mess up in front of such a big crowd.” …THIS IS JESUS! This show gratifies the evil heart by demeaning our Lord and Savior.
#10 – An Unscriptural Script
Unscriptural additions pepper “The Chosen.” Some seem innocuous, others are blatantly Catholic, and some amuse the imagination while instilling doubt. When Mary and Joseph lose sight of a young Jesus, they then find Him in the temple, and “The Chosen” Jesus asks them, “Did you not know I must be in the house of my father?” What? The Bible says, “Be about my Father’s business.” This is typical of a Catholic-inspired production to place the emphasis on a church building instead of obedience to the Father in heaven.
Another example happens in a supposed exchange between a disciple and Mary Magdalene, where she is asked about when she first saw Jesus. Her response: “In a tavern.” She goes on to say, “He put his hand on mine,” adding, “which is not what it sounds like.” She recommends that John leave that part out of his book, so people don’t get confused… just another way “The Chosen” creates questions and doubts.
This series poses great danger since it appears to “follow the Bible closely” and thus can lead many to deception. In an interview, the show is described as a “multi-lane highway for relationships with Jesus” (for this reason, the show is inclusive of homosexuals, atheists, Catholics, and mystics for their writers, actors, and crew.) The Bible says, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). There is no multi-lane highway to Christ.
#11 – Prayers to Mary Behind the Scenes
“The Chosen” Jesus actor Jonathan Roumie has quite a following, and it’s concerning how his influence is used. Roumie has a “rosary live” broadcast which attracts many viewers. On the Livestream, he teaches viewers the Catholic rosary, to pray to dead saints, and pray to a dead Mary as well as ask her for the forgiveness of sins. Maybe you wouldn’t watch his rosary, but you will be entertained by his unbiblical depiction of Christ. What place does light have with darkness? We are supposed to be giving the loud cry and calling people out of Babylon, not watching their productions.
HERE IS WHAT JESUS REALLY PREACHED IN MATTHEW 7:13-27
The Narrow Way
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:15-19
I Never Knew You
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” Matthew 7:21-23
Build on the Rock
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” Matthew 7:24-27
