I come from the other end of the Christian spectrum and could not agree more. That Christians no matter what their backgrounds (except for a few) embrace this means it must be special.
@@johnfrancis4401, I agree. This IS nitpicking.....I don't like that she has earrings on and they also look like something we'd wear today. She just doesn't seem like how I picture the Mother of God.
Unfortunately these two gentlemen didn't answer Dallas's questions directly so here are the answers: 1.) Catholicism DOES NOT teach that Mary should be worshipped in any way, and 2.) Catholicism DOES NOT teach that Mary is equal to Jesus
@@hopebaratheon6429 yes just like mary magdalene and peter, david and esther and Joseph and Abraham and Paul and Ruth and many more in the bible deserve respect.
@Catherine Morland. I think you misunderstood me. I never said I never respected her......I should have said ' more' of a respect. But that is my fault. Sorry about that! I will say I am not Catholic so I don't hold her in as high of a position as Catholics do. To me, Jesus is the one who should be exalted over all of creation.
I love the way Dallas approaches this talk. I’m Catholic, and I love our Blessed Mother, and I love how they picture Mary in the show. So beautiful, you really see her as that clement, loving, sweet Jewish mother. It’s beautiful watching her interact with Jonathan Rhoumie (Jesus). Thank you, Dallas! God bless you!
@@texaslocoman1 But this show isn't that movie is it? Here's an idea, just enjoy the show. It's not being irreverant and showing her dancing on tables. She was livings her life as a devout Jewish woman chosen by God, not Carmelo. If it offends your sensibilities and God is offended, Dallas will deal with those consequences, not you. Watch or don't watch, that's your call.
@@reginapontes5672 I watch the show. It is well done. Great performances. It has many historical, biblical and doctrinal inaccuracies and errors but it's a show. I can check for these inaccuracies and comment on them, it;s my prerogative.
@@texaslocoman1 Just chill then. You acknowledge you understand the difference. Just enjoy it the show for what it is and how it's bringing people closer to Jesus! Especially during this Holy Week 2020 when Dallas is running a The Chosen marathon nightly this week. 2 episodes every night!
@@Ballerina1974 Praying is NOT the same as worshipping. Have you never in your entire life asked prayers from anyone? Did you never even once ask somebody to pray for you or your family??? Then why are you opposed when people who love Mary and accept Her as their own Mother, ask for Her prayers?? If God can honor the prayers of sinners, how much more will He not honor the prayers of the one whom He called "full of grace, you found favor with Me" ???
Julie J No where in Scripture does Jesus instruct us to pray to Mary Jesus says in John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life NO ONE comes to the Father but by Me Please provide chapter and verse where Jesus tells us to pray to Mary..Catholic church has another Mary made up by unregenerate men, clergy who simply made up catholic mary to be a cash cow for the Vatican
As an Orthodox Christian, I love how St. Mary was portrayed in the series. This conversation was also very well-done. It's good to see people with a different perspective on certain things having a good conversation. Blessings!
June Gerber this is the creed - The Apostles Creed - what Catholics believe and profess: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. We most definitely are Christian and believe that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Holy Trinity and that He died to redeem us and save us from our sins. We renounce satan and all his works and empty promises . I don’t know where you got your information from, but it is indisputably incorrect. What if I was to say that all Protestants aren’t Christian because you are not Catholic? That would be insensitive wouldn’t it? And also not true. Please think about giving Catholics the same respect. Read about the Catholic Faith by a Catholic if you truly desire to know what we profess to be true, not by Protestants who are misguided about the teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Faith.
Luke 11:27As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” 28He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
@@GarettFinney For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Luke 1:48 KJV The verse you named just proves how blessed Mary is. St. Augustine said: "Mary is more blessed in receiving the faith of Christ, than in conceiving the flesh of Christ. ... For his brothers, his relatives according to the flesh who did not believe in him, of what advantage is that relationship? Even her maternal relationship would have done Mary no good unless she had borne Christ more happily in her heart than in her flesh."
@@GarettFinney Mary was both. He was not dismissing the blessedness of His mother, rather pointing out that it was her obidiance to God, which resulted in her being His mother, that is to honored. Mary could have said 'no', but she said yes by saying "let it be done to me according to your word". It is this obedience that makes her blessed.
@@GarettFinney rude, much. This is a place for constructive conversations, not insults. And ALL OF US ARE SINNERS. There is a Catholic phrase that I think is very apt: "Mass is a hospital for sinners, and Confession is the emergency room." Jesus is the Divine Physician. We go to Him, both to maintain good spiritual health, but also when we are in crisis. Just calling someone a sinner is like just telling someone "your bleeding" and then not helping them. And because I know you will say something about Confession: James 5:14-16 John 20:23 Matthew 16:19, 18:18 2 Cor 5:18 Lev 4:20, 5:14-26
I really loved the depiction of Mary in the Chosen. Such an authentic "mom" figure. And to see her adoration of her son and her love for Him was heart warming.
YB 44 Jesus corrected unsound doctrine without compromise. Correction of doctrine is done in Christ's love. Dallas can speak with whomever he chooses, as can we, but at the end of the day: Have we corrected unsound doctrine? Or have we compromised?
Check out the Fuel Project on UA-cam. Know your enemy series. Start from the beginning. They cover the catholic church around the 23rd episode. There is only ONE WAY to God the Father and that is through Jesus Christ, His only son. Mary was a sinful human being servant of God in need of a Savior, just like us. Mary would be devastated to know how the catholic church has elevated her! Jesus IS our High Priest! The veil was torn. It is finished! We can approach the throne boldly. No need for a human priest. Glory to God for His great love, mercy, and grace!!! Maranatha! ✝️🕊🙏🏻
As a catholic who prays the rosary, I find myself meditating on this portrayal of the wedding feast at Cana with much benefit and have throughly enjoyed Season 1.
The sheer joy exuded by this at the wedding. is intoxicating to look at. Im love the way that the snarky father in law comes around to realizing that he has never experienced anything as wonderful despite all his advantages in life. Also he looks at the canopy and sees no flaw. The wine, of course, is part of it, literally unearthly food. We are kind of in heaven as it will be, people dancing and singing, not just floating around on a cloud.
Ahh u violated one of the 10 commandments ," do not make images n worship "wake up please m am ex catholic .I praise God for bringing me out of the deception that ur into
@@smgloria1601 Sorry, but you are wrong. If it were so as you say, "The Chosen" would be a blasphemy, because it depicts Jesus Christ. The commandment which prohibits the service to idols, after Jesus Christ has taken flesh from rhe Blessed Virgin Mary, lived with us and redeemed us, refers to anything outside of God which or who occupies in our lives the absolute rank. This rank is reserved only to the Triune God Himself: We are called to serve Him with all our love and all our forces (1. commandment).
I'll be honest, one of the other things I look at from the outside in the catholics is the rosary. How do they explain the vain repetition? Matthew 6:7 - But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
I'm Catholic and I enjoyed the whole show! That's powerful... God chose our humanity to tell us who is He! Thank you so much... I can't wait for the second season...
This conversation brings tears to my eyes it’s so beautiful! Thank you thank you thank you for bridging the misunderstandings!! I am literally standing here with tears in my eyes of joy... Unity, Faith, Love....
Yah, but the graven images in your churches aren't the real Mary. It's the Queen of Heaven Ishtar, also called Astarte, Artemis, Diana. That's why God's second commandment is to not make graven images, and your churches are full of them. That's blasphemy. The Muslims got that, the Jews got that, the Protestants got that......Catholics didn't get the memo...? NO GRAVEN IMAGES.
The Jews had everything placed in the ark of the covenant...the holy vessel of honour in whom God dwelt among his people...and that is mother Mary...Those lacking the inheritance of the ancestors don't have it nor do they understand it's significance about the hand made of the lord.
@Karen Gonzalez She is a mother to us all. When Eve did not heed God, she remained our spiritual mother. But we needed a New Eve, one who was without sin so that we may return to Eden to be with the New Adam who call Jesus Christ.
@@micahbellonline9462 how are those “graven images” with the nativity scene at Christmas time working out for you? 🤔 I can assure you Catholics know the statue or paintings are not actually mary.
@@magnoliam4159 I wouldn't know, Christmas is also a pagan holiday I don't participate in. Also given to you by the Romans who actually crucified Jesus. Just like your religion full of satanic rituals you won't find in the Bible, inspired by Satan.
I’m a muslim and my little sisters name is Meryem which is Mary in Turkish. In the Koran Mary is the only woman who’s name is mentioned. After watching this show I realized how much we really have in common with Christianity. I loved it.
Indeed she was the greatest servant of God always obeying to his will until the end, I know that she is well respected among the muslims I'm happy to know your sister carry such a beautiful name. May the Lord inspire our people to respect each such as he inspired Saint Francis and Salah al-Din.
Yeah, let’s have a “conversation” about: -Infant baptism -Purgatory -Confession to priests -Praying to (worshipping) Mary -Praying to so-called saints -Dead relatives becoming guardian angels -Priestly celibacy -Putting “traditions” of the church above clear scripture -Replacing Christ as head of the church with a pope -Mary as “sinless” (aka, the “immaculate conception”) -Catholics (the pope) magically turning 2 sacraments into 7. -absolute HERETICAL view that the priest turns a wafer and wine into Christ’s body and blood. -Equally heretical, that consuming this wafer and wine is saving you. Etc, etc etc etc.... ANY church filled with this much blasphemy, heresy, and idolatry has NO PLACE at any table TO START ANY “CONVERSATION.” They and their sad victims should repent and abandon the false teachings and follow the clear teachings of the Bible, not your priest. Seriously, open the Bible. The true Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth.
I wholeheartedly agree! Even though I take issue with certain Catholic doctrines, I really appreciate the real discussions that we see here. The division in the Body of Christ has always bothered me and to see Jesus bring us together in humility and just talk reasonably with one another about our interpretations and understandings is the way it is supposed to be from God's word. Shalom!
As a Catholic, I love this detailed look on Mama Mary so much!!! Yes we were taught as kids to call Mary "Mama" here in the Philippines and it stuck. 😍

Your misrepresentations of the faith are too numerous to count. Seems like you must have slept through catechism.
This is the episode that opened my eyes. I have been praying for years to have the grace to see Mary as my Mother and that I could go to her and just follow her example of being a true disciple of Christ. God Bless you Dallas and all the cast🙏💕
About piety. Both Bernardette and Lucy commented how the statues of the Virgin “got wrong” the appearance of Our Lady. One has to be a Leonardo to capture animation as he did with the Mona Lisa.
Who died for u is it Mary or jesus ? Who loved u so much so as to leave his glory n come into this flithy world to die ur answer would b Jesus right ,if god loves us soo much till extent that he took up human form to teach us his ways y will he such a loving God need a mediator to work between him n us ,please sis am an ex catholic I insist u to read bible through help of holy spirit God
@Sm Gloria Jesus died for me and the sins of all mankind. God does not need Mary, and God does not need any of us, but God sees fit to make us to bring Him glory. He did not need Mary to be the means through which our Lord is brought into the world, but he chose her and made her as he saw worthy to do these tasks for his glory. Jesus is our one mediator, because he is the means through which our sins can be forgiven. But, that doesn’t mean that other people can’t pray for us or do good works that can contribute to people’s salvation, because of the merits and grace of Jesus. For example, preaching the gospel is one act that could contribute to the salvation of someone, because of the merit and grace of God. Mary is a great handmaid through which God brought the Savior into the world, and he made her as he saw worthy for this task, through the grace that he gave her of her Immaculate Conception (conceived without original sin). We don’t worship Mary, we venerate (highly honor her). These two concepts are entirely different, because worship is reverence purely for a deity, and has always been connected with sacrifice. Catholic theology defines worship due only to God as latria. The honor to Mother Mary is called hyperdulia, because it is high honor. Some reasons we venerate Mary are because she is the humble handmaid of the Lord (Psalm 31:30), she is our mother (John 19:27), she is queen of Heaven (Rev 12:1-2), and she is seen fit by God to be the way through which our Lord enters the world, and therefore to play a crucial role in the salvation of mankind. She can help us greatly through her intercession to her son. It is her son who is the source, but she can make requests to God from a motherly perspective, and Christ responds abundantly to her requests, as seen in the Wedding at Cana. As Catholics, we ask the intercession of saints, just as you might ask someone else to pray for you. We ask saints, because they are a cloud of witnesses watching over us (Heb 12:1) and are praying for us in Heaven (Rev 5:8). Therefore, they can witness our request for prayers, and as holy people in Heaven, their prayers are more powerful than our own (James 5:16, 1 Pet 3:12). This is why the earliest Christians, such as Hermas (ad 80), Clement of Alexandria (ad 208), and Origen (ad 233) talk about the intercession of the saints and angels. The Bible teaches the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. First, God promised to make a woman with emnity to Satan, whose offspring will crush Satan. Mary is whose offspring crushed Satan, and being born without original sin is the only way she could be in complete enmity with Satan. In fact, we see this dogma in clearer terms in Luke 1:28, when the angel Gabriel called Mary “full of grace.” In the original text, the Greek word Kecharitomene is used, which is uniquely in the present perfect passive tense, which means “to have been endowed with grace.” The angel also gives honor to Mary, when every other time in Scripture, humans are below and honor angels. So, the angel was saying that there was a special and honorable amount of grace given to her before her son was born. The Catholic Church teaches that she was given the grace to be born without original sin out of the merits of her son that were counted beforehand for her. If you seek Mary’s intercession faithfully, she will bring you to Jesus.
'When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her womb. *Elizabeth was FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,* and crying out loudly, she said: "You are the most blessed among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! How is it that the *MOTHER OF MY LORD* comes to me?"' Luke 1: 41-42 The Holy Spirit guided Elizabeth to call her mother of the Lord✨ Mother of the Lord!!! ♥️✨ She is truly the most blessed women. Imagine..living in a house with Jesus for 30 years, nurturing Him, putting Him to sleep, raising Him up. 💖💖 I know how much i love my mother. I can only imagine how much Mary would have been loved!! She truly is the most blessed and most respected and most loved women ever!
1 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Mother of the lord does not translate from the original text, your reading a catholic bible if that is what your bible says. Mother of MY lord the difference between (the) and (my) is huge.
@Collins Anosike The Bible all 66 Books were written by Jews not one catholic among them, all written centuries before the catholic church ever existed. Its amazing you can claim it as a "catholic document" but being catholic yourself I'm not surprised.

@@nextlevelamazing7865 thank you. I am white and have always said Jesus is not white. Look at people that live in the Mediterranean area. They are not white. They are brown with dark wiry hair and have brown to hazel eyes. AND thank you for the correct history of the origin of Catholicism. We are to follow NO RELIGION. Just Jesus ,God and the Holy Spirit.
The differences in the Body of Christ are so painful. We need to appreciate this show for all the good it does, and not get hung up on relatively minor things. I hope it will be taken that way, and thus empower the cause of Christ. No one is going to agree with everything, and if that were our criteria nothing would ever get accomplished. (See Christian history for how the church can be terribly self-destructive.) So let's pray for everyone involved in this project, that they would develop it in the most beneficial way. Not only is it edifying the Body of believers, it is going to be a fantastic evangelistic tool. Blessings.
If the truth is hidden from you, would you not want it revealed? As a part of the body of Christ, I to have a job to do for God‘s kingdom. God can use all of us, What Dallas is doing, what you are doing and what I am doing and not only that, perhaps he wants it all together in one place to bring about Truth, Unity, Love and Forgiveness.
Bob Smith The enemy wants you to put respect above Truth, but the truth is that there is Greater Respect in giving the Truth. Do you think your dad would’ve liked to have been respected enough to have been given the truth about the doctrine that opened the door to sexual immorality causing that priest to molest him? While I am thankful your dad came to the truth and forgave, how many go lost because of what these priests have done to our Children!!!! I could write So much on this subject but I will keep it simple. Spiritual Adultery (going to a priest for absolution worshiping and praying to anyone who is not God Almighty or believing that taking a wafer is remaining in Christ rather than studying His Word, Worshiping and praying to Him alone) is spiritual adultery and it manifests itself into sexual immorality and that spirit wreaks havoc for those who don’t know, who lay ignorant of God’s Word because they’ve been given, “not the Bible” to be read with The Holy Spirit as The Spirit of Truth Who Leads us into all Truth but instead, the Catholic church doctrine of worship of Mary instead of The Savior. Take a look at what happened with the Israelites when the made the gold calf........they worshipped another, this spiritual adultery turned into sexual immorality as they began having orgies with each other, men with men and women with women. God turned them over to their ways! Here we can see in Romans 1 a bit of what I’m talking about. But before I give this, I’d like to say that I pray for this film most everyday, I do not want it to fail, I love that it’s bringing people to read and study God’s Word. I’m concerned that some of it can cause confusion because even I after watching had to stop and try to remember an instance in the Bible that I had to determine whether I read a certain part as truth in God’s Word or did I see it in the film. Anyhow, here is the scripture I wanted to share~in love, not malice; if I seem angry, it’s because I am, I’m angry this doctrine still exists and hurts Children. 5 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed--a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,fn just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”fn 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:5-32
@@teresavaughn2404 I am going to encourage you to keep reading the Bible just as I do daily as a Catholic Christian. However, I would also encourage you to look up subjects like Mary, worship and salvation in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. While your zeal and concern for Catholic souls I would grant is sincere, your dialogue with Catholics on what is authoritatively believed would be better served after perusing some points of the Catechism so you can engage with both faith and reason honorable and fairly.
Teresa Vaughn The religious are the most difficult to save. This is why the remnant church is and always has been very small. John 3:3 Jesus said, "You must be born again." And this is why there is only a small remnant of believers because to regenerate we must worship in Spirit and in Truth. Otherwise it is 'strange fire' to God and not all worship is accepted. He is very clear about this in Scripture. But if people do not want to hear it, then we must leave it at the Foot of God. He ultimately knows who will accept Him and who won't. At least we brought them the Truth, the rest is up to God. I hope you remain strong in the Word and that you continue to bring the Truth to the deceived. For it truly is astounding how many people will perish for lack of knowledge. But for those who outright reject the God of the Bible for their religion? It's not good. Not good at all.
As an Orthodox Christian (who was formerly Evangelical), I love the authenticity with which these - and really all - of the scenes your team does. The honesty and integrity behind the script and where it takes you have created such a powerful medium that it really moves people. These events were REAL - and they happened to REAL PEOPLE. You all manage to "flesh things out" so beautifully that we, as an audience, get to really feel we are that "fly on the wall," seeing the Lord's interactions with His beloved people. This is so POWERFUL - thank you!!
Welcome to the Church of Christ and the Apostles.. I am Orthodox also from Jordan. We are quite literally the first Christians in the world and we are all originally Orthodox ...so yes... with all respect to other traditions but you indeed have come home to the "first church" .....I find it funny though when others talk about Orthodoxy as unbiblical when it is us (by God's grace) who gave them the bible lol
I am a protestant and I didn't hear much about Mary at church growing up. But this show is making me fall in love with her! This non verbal communication moments are soooo beautiful!!!
As a Catholic myself, I appreciate the respect you gave to her even though you are not Catholic. The respect you showed her pleases Christ. I wouldn’t be surprised if you eventually become Catholic.
There's a lot of history to Catholicism . A lot including pagan origins . I realise most Catholics are away from the truth of Christ & the Bible . The popes rides in big gold chariots while Jesus was broke when he was ministering & didn't have a place to lay his head on . They make idols & worship the disciples , saints , Mary when that's NOT what the Gospel says or what Jesus said . She was chosen for God's glory but there's no need to pray or worship her when there's just One way to the Father nd that's through the Son .
@@adeeness Jesus is our interceder, not His mom, she does not have all knowing power, she does not hear our prayers, we pray to the father through the son and the work of the holy spirit. Mary was and is important, but she is not our interceder.
@@lizbethharo8287 You've got it wrong. There is no hierarchy within the Holy Trinity. We worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the same breath. And about Mary we do not know what power she has or doesn't have. All we know is her deeds in the Bible, the parting words of Jesus where he declares Mary to be our mother and the fact that she got ascended directly into heaven. Based on these facts we simply treat her like our own Divine Mother, to whom we ask to intercede to for us to her Divine son. And even if she is not All knowing as you boldly claim, God sees us humbling ourself willingly before his own Mother. And we hope he takes notice of that and bless us.
The scene of wedding in Cana it's really amazing and beautiful, the way Mary concern and saved that family from embarrassment, the way she approach Jesus and the most touching for me is when Jesus look at her with the emotions in his face, it's very clear that Mary always want to bring us closer to Jesus and save us from the embarrassment ❤😇
@@ramonmora9315 I agree.. I am Catholic and I pray only to jesus.. I honor Mary, only in the way the Angel gabriel did.. she was chosen among ALL women to birth God in flesh, but she too needed a savior...The is but one mediator between God and man.. Christ Jesus.. my catholic bible says that.. peace be with you
I love how every detail is given such special attention - not wanting to deviate from the scriptures and yet keeping the story fresh and realistic... taking care to be in correct standing with the Catholic church and other churches. This is why this series has been embraced and loved the way it has. It's no wonder that the production is reaching all ages and groups of society. One can clearly see that the 'hand of the Lord' is at work here. Watching the various episodes and videos bts, it suddenly struck me that this production is reaching out to all four points of the earth... This is one of the 'end-time signs' spoken of in the Book of Revelations! Praise God!
Wow, Queen Cleo, that means so much, what an awesome and humbling thing to ponder. Thank you for your amazing partnership-so glad to have you in our Chosen Family!
I looooved watching this series ... Awesome! Can’t wait for Season 2. I wondered why at the wedding at Cana, Jesus was depicted as calling Mary “Mother”, rather than “Woman”. Jesus’ reference to Mary as “Woman” is quite significant because it points to something deeper, i.e., the new Eve - the Woman that carried the seed that will crush the head of the serpent. At the wedding at Cana, Jesus not only revealed who he is publicly for the first time, he also publicly revealed who Mary is - Jesus, the new Adam; Mary, the new Eve. Beautiful connection that speaks to a lot theologically
It is unfortunate that some of the artistic liberties taken end up taking away from many theological aspects such as this. Still, I appreciate the series for moving us into discussing these sort of things that we may not have otherwised discussed among denominations, even though I also think that the depictions in the series might not be the best start for a new Christian convert.
I think it's a modern sensibility thing, it might come across as disrespectful to the audience who wouldn't really get the subtle aspects you have mentioned. Also, as greatly made as this series is, it's still directed by an Evangelical Protestant. No offense to them (and the director), but Mariology and Biblical Typology aren't their strong points. In fact, I'm honestly surprised at how Catholic the show's depiction of Our Lady is.
@@GermanicusCaesar117 I am evangelical and would disagree about that biblical tipology thing, at least for the case of Christ ( that is who realy matters in the end ) my study bible is full of places where it points out Christ tipos in the old testament.
I am so glad you had this meeting with Catholic priests. I am Catholic and have loved watching The Chosen. I share the links to your interviews and other videos. I promote the show every chance I get. It has helped me better understand my struggles with my faith. I've never lost faith but I wasn't nurturing it either. Thank you for rekindling my faith through The Chosen.
Misunderstanding Mary's role in the church and every Christian's life is one of the devil's best temptations. Mary's main role is to point us to Jesus and help us to do God's will in our life like she did. We become more like christ when we let Mary be our spiritual mother. Mama mary is awesome 💙
To refer to Mary as virgini and mother is to point out the central teaching of the Church, that Jesus is God incarnate. The word made flesh and dwelling among us.
I feel Dallas takes in everything he can to gain knowledge but then uses the Spirit to decide how the show will go. I think the team is doing a great job! Shame on those that don’t support the process! Support it or not, but leave it alone if you can’t see the good this show is doing! I love it! ❤️
Kay VanderVeen Dallas should be going on God's Word ALONE. Without compromise. The Chosen series is just that: a man made show. People should be fully immersed in God's Word not The Chosen series. Your idolatry is leading you to compromise: "Shame on those who don't support the process"? How "of the world" of you. Shamefully of the world. There is much error in what Dallas has done here: New Believers in Christ may become confused. Period. I'll leave it to you, to try and figure out how. Pray in Jesus Name for you to see it.
Dallas Jenkins I am defending God's Word above the series and against the "round table" discussion which you chose to do with a Catholic priest. Roman Catholicism is not of the God of the Bible. It is a heretical religion whose doctrine is unbiblical. It is a works based salvation. "We are saved by grace through faith in Saviour Lord Jesus Christ; lest no man boast." Ephesians 2: 8-9 New Believers in Christ may become confused and think: Catholicism is of the Judeo-Christian origin, which it is not. Catholicism preaches a different gospel. They know a different Jesus. Jesus said: "Many will come in My Name, do not believe them." "In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:1 The WORD is Christ. No compromise. None. Compromise comes in ALL forms. "And no wonder, even Satan comes disguised as an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14
@@gracefaithsaved Can you quote the parts of the Catechism that shows a different gospel? If you are going to be critical, consider if you know from the source what it actually teaches. Dallas is merely being fair in hearing what the Catholic Church teaches. As for the Bible, the Catholic Church gave you the Bible in canonized form. I learned that first in a Protestant institution before I was led by the Lord to the Catholic Church. Try around paragraph 1980 on what the CC actually teaches on salvation.
Jason Miller I am not religious. I follow Jesus. I read His Word. And His Word Alone. Catholicism is a work based salvation doctrine. It is a different gospel. Stop trying to sell your false heretical doctrine. I will not quote the catechism because it is heresy. But I will quote Ephesians 2:8-9 "We are saved by GRACE through FAITH in Christ; lest no man should boast." I have many religious lost in my life. I pray for them. They are spiritually bankrupt because of heretical doctrine. Catholicism is a CULT. I pray that you are saved out of it just as I pray for my dear ones. Religion is a curse from Satan. Do not be deceived.
great conversation. As soon as you asked it and Father Guffey said "great question" I loved that. Something about these conversations being had, and talked about openly, and without shame makes me very happy. A Catholic and an Evangelical have often throughout history, not been able to sit at the same table without arguing. Thank you. God bless
The Wedding at Cana is the proof that when the Theotokos brings a request of others before The Lord, He is quick to listen and her entreaty on their behalf is powerful.
Oh I love this conversation. So much respect for each other’s understandings of the Savior. I learned a lot. I absolutely love the portrayal of Mary and her relationship with her son Jesus. I never understood until now how Jesus ultimately obeyed his Mother thus following the commandments of His Father. She asked and He did. Thank you!
God chose her to be his mother!!!!!! She's respected and chosen by God already. doesn't get better than that.we respect her and love her for for our benefit.
To Jesus through Mary, yes, that’s it. We look to her humility, her obedience, her servitude, her role as mother, and spouse to the Holy Spirit and most beautiful child of The Father
This series not only portrayed Jesus and his disciples in an amazing but also the Blessed Virgin Mary. They didn't just sideline her as unimportant but portrayed her and her role perfectly! Ad Iesum per Mariam
Get real! If a virgin gives birth, she is no longer a virgin! And Joseph and Mary had a bunch of kids together! Mary and me have about two things not in common. She gave birth to Jesus Christ. But we both worship Jesus Christ as our Lord and King and God! She has been in Heaven quite a while, I'm still on this earth. But we are both children of God!
@@SoniaJbrt Your hatred for the mother of God is showing. A virgin is one who has not had sexual intercourse with someone so even though she gave birth to Christ, she remained a virgin. And no, her and Joseph had no other children. If she did, Jesus would have given his mother to his supposed siblings when he was on the cross instead of giving her to his beloved disciple. Joseph never had sex with Mary. How could he? To go in where the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, true God came out from? Are you insane? If they call the land where Jesus walked holy, how much more holy is the body of Mary for holding in GOD himself. You are sinner as I am. Mary was, is and always will be without sin and full of grace.
@@Jus4kiks Yes Mary is, was and always will be sinless. How is that hard for you to comprehend? Is such thing impossible to God? Adam and Eve were made sinless as well until after they sinned. You don't think God would save the ONE human woman that would bear God himself, the holiest of holies from the stain of sin? Even the Ark of the Covenant had to be made of pure gold (emphasis on pure) to hold within the tablets of the commandments, manna and the priest staff. How much more pure would the human that holds God himself, the law himself, the bread of himself, the king priest himself have to be.
Yah’ Ren Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, everyone including them have sinned. Only one who has not sinned is Jesus Christ - hence his death, his holiness being payment for our sins. Unless I missed something in the Bible I don’t see where is says Mary was sinless, I see other scriptures about only God being sinless. Do you have scriptures that mention it? Also in your religion does Mary not have to go through Jesus to be saved, even though the Bible says ‘no man comes to the Father but by him’? If not can you tell me scriptures. I mean no ill will, just learning as everyone is. I believe Mary is blessed to be the mother of Jesus, but is nothing like God, she was human.
Hi. I’m just a simpleton trying to understand the Catholic beliefs not an argument. My family is Catholic, I’m not. Where in the Bible does it say that Mary intercedes for us?
Emily Fae I’m just a simpleton too! Lol Jesus says to pray for one another. We believe the body of Christ is one body, not divided by those on earth and those in heaven. We choose to turn to Mary as we know from scripture that prayers from the righteous are more effective. So you may ask your friends at church to intercede and pray for you, I do too. However, I also ask my friends and mother in heaven to pray for me. We are all baptized in one spirit. we know all things are thanks to God even if others prayed for us. All Glory and praise is given to God.
Emily Fae that’s kind of you to say! I feel like I’m not always the best at explaining things! Yes, that’s exactly why we pray to saints... the prayers are not prayers of worship and praise, but requests for them to pray for us. I heard the following explanations and thought they were great (I hope I don’t butcher how they were originally said)... say I want to borrow my dad’s car, I ask him, but also ask my mother to ask him for me. She tends to be more persuasive. The ultimate decision and power is his. Another example: of one of your kids wants a toy. They ask for it... but isn’t it harder to say no when their sibling also asks on their behalf? It shows love and unity.
@Karl Jansen dead?? I respectfully disagree. My God is the God of the living... we have eternal life. Revelation shows us the saints offering prayers. John 3:16 tells us we will have ETERNAL life... Moses and Elijah (although Elijah was assumed into heaven) appeared to Jesus. The good thief was told he would be with Jesus that day in paradise... I could go on, but I think you get my point. God bless!
“Anyone who has the opportunity to look closely at the icons of the Eastern Church which depict the Mother of God will notice something very striking. In the expressions on the faces of Mary and of her divine Son, in the gestures that are so subtly depicted, there is a moving quality that is hard to define. The Christians of Russia had a name for this quality: they called it “umileniye,” a word which can be translated “tender, loving kindness.”
I love how episode in Cana really showed the real theology behind our belowed Mother. She is percieved still as a human and she needs to ask Jesus for help. She doesn't preform miracles for us. But on our behalf she can ask her Son to make our prayers come true.
As a small child, we were taught to have a devotion to Mary ... when I lost my earthly mother, she is someone I reflected upon and felt by my side - helping all the time, then when I had my own kids, I asked for her intercession ... and always felt comforted, and now ...well ...I just know for certain she goes to Jesus for me and my family all the time. The Chosen did an excellent job conveying how we honor her. Thank you for taking the time and effort to get it right. The Rosary is a beautiful prayer - especially for mothers. Thank you for mentioning it.
I'm Catholic, and am VERY thankful to Dallas Jenkins for The Chosen! He handles relationships well, and particularly the relationship of Mary to her Son. The whole show is amazing, and helps illuminate my reading of Scripture.
As a devout Catholic, I absolutely love how Our Blessed Mother is portrayed 🌹🙏. Really well done and theologically correct and I appreciate that .Praise God for this labor of Love that brings Honor and Blessing to HIM ❤️
Think of it like this: you are going to dinner at your partner’s house and meeting their parents for the first time. When you get to know their parents better, you get to know your partner better. It’s the same with Mary - when you get to know Mary better, you get to know Jesus better. Another way to describe Mary is to compare her to the sun and moon. The sun produces its own light, and God produces His own light. If God is the sun, then Mary is the moon, because the moon doesn’t produce its own light, but reflects the light of the sun, as Mary doesn’t produce her own light, but she reflects God’s light and love. Also, my own mom is most definitely not God, and I don’t worship her, but I respect her and ask her for help a lot and she wants to point me to God. It’s the same with Mary as our spiritual mother. Mary’s not the one with the power, as she was not the one who changed the water into wine, but she took it to her Son so He could do that.
Mary represent all of humanity, reaching out for Jesus to help. Knowing that a human woman is interacting with Jesus and he listens and reacts, let's us know God is approachable, for any issue. So YES, "knowing" Mary does help illuminate the Gospel for many.
One mary yet many apostles and teachers yet mary who shared no Gospel in scripture is elevated? She is blessed but trying to make it stick doesn't work. Who is my mother and brothers, blessed rather are those who do the will of My Father... Interesting how every time she is pointed to, Jesus redirects from her onto His followers so point one another to Jesus and pray for one another.
@@Xerxes2005 What I am implying is that the religious practices surrounding Mary are incorrect and even worse may fall into both idol worship and attempting communication with humans who have already passed from this life. It's not even implied by Jesus and the apostles never expressed this belief in their writings. The stories of apparitions bare similarities to ufo encounters and ufo encounters often present demonic deceptions usually aimed right at Jesus.
I am a catholic and specially devoted to Mary since I've been raised that way (very common in Mexico) and I can't imagine anything different in these scenes they're mentioning. The cut to her face and her tender words is beautifully made and I thank The Lord for giving you the inspiration for this. Lovely.
@@danakarloz5845 Told me, no, I was raised Catholic. We prayed to Mary, we request things of Mary. I went again as an adult 20 years later recently, same thing. There's even a picture of Mary over the tabernacle, and they wanted us to pray to her. As a child, I asked our priest if we should read The Bible, and he said you can't but you don't have to. Also, this current Pope has been quoted as saying, "we're all children of God", which is also NOT in The Bible. Some people are simply Children of the World, and have hardened hearts.
Basically, now that I've read The Bible, so many things I was told as a Catholic are fully against what The Bible says. The King James version is the worst translation. Not at all what the Hebrew says, now that I can read Hebrew. The Catholic church is for God's plan of harboring the false prophet. That's its role in God's plan. For even the fallen angels ultimately carry out His plan.
I'm Eastern Orthodox and we venerate saint Mary as the Theotokos (Mother of God) and even though this show is made by an Evangelist, he portrayed saint Mary almost perfectly. What I miss in this conversation with these Catholic priest, is the fact that Jesus did His first public miracle at the request of saint Mary (even after He says, it isn't His time). This is the reason we also pray, please note, praying is not the same as worshipping, we pray to her for her prayers because she of all creation is the closest to her Son and enjoys a exalted status. But one thing is sure, we must do whatever He says, like saint Mary says.
Everyone on this comment section spouting negativity at different denominations and quoting scripture to defend their place... it feels like you haven't exactly gotten the message of that scene between nicomedus and shmuel. You are limiting God's word to your imperfect human understandings. None of us know if we're doing everything right. If we're understanding the mystery of God's love and law perfectly, but we try to with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Part of this process, this journey of understanding, is humility and respect for other people's journeys as well. It's best to keep your eyes, hearts, and souls open to the Spirit... lest you be like the Pharisees so stuck in your limited imperfect rules and traditions. Love your neighbors, people. Peace to all. ✌🏻
It's impossible for us not to know when we're following the bible correctly. He did say he will guide the church with the spirit of the truth. The Pharisees are who we should strive not to be because they are hypocrites. Not because of their traditions since we as Christians have our own traditions 1 Cor 11:2 "Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you."
I am glad I saw this today. Dallas is seeking to understand and help others understand the Catholic understanding of Mary as one who always points to Jesus as the way. Yesterday I commented on another round table and I don’t typically speak out strongly in what may have been negative but this really was placed in my cue today even though it came out 3 years ago.
I loved this interview ! Just one thing...This priest puzzled me when he said of Mary and Catholics that “piety got out of control”. He seems almost timid and apologetic about the Catholic Church’s high respect for Our Lady as expressed by practicing Catholics . As a Catholic with many wonderful Protestant friends, I constantly feel this timidity about my faith when it comes to things like that and I really shouldn’t. That is on me. We should not reactively shy away from what is a genuine misunderstanding of Mary and an aversion to her that comes from the misguided notion that Catholics worship her. We should not be in a hurry to pretend she is a small deal to prove we don’t worship her. I don’t worship my own birth mother but I certainly honor her and respect her. I express it too. Jesus loved his mother ! We should too. And she WAS special.Chosen by God the Father to serve a special mission and endowed with special graces. Mary IS a big deal. It does not mean she is equal to Jesus. She never could be and she herself says this. She leads us TO him. So did the apostles. So did Mary Magdalene. The piety and love Catholics have for Mary is not in competition with the WORSHIP, love and adoration we have for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ . I grew up loving Mary and will raise my children to as well. After falling away from my faith after college- she and only she brought me back to Jesus .She is everybody’s mother. Jesus gave her to us from the cross. And I LOVE this show. I’ve donated money to pay it forward and I am spreading the word . What a blessing to have such an amazing show. It’s going to bring Christians of all denominations together. GodBless
Agree, I noticed that too. I was protestant and became Catholic two years ago, the Church always was correct in their official teaching about Mary, now, popular piety without formation could have taken Mary out of context, but this was always condemned by the Church. It bothers me when I see timid and apologetic Catholics, there is no need for that.
On note of please don't get offended..just quoting few things..and ofcourse you are free to ignore..Also Let bible alone talk to anyone..because when we stand in the judgement day God is not going to ask which church we went to.. only thing that will matter is.."Are we saved and born again..because We need to be saved..as Per John 3: 16.. Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ 1 Timothy 2: 5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.." Exodus 20:4-6 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. Isaiah 42:8 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols. Luke 1:47 - and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior(Mary was human completely like us and needed salvation like we do) Matthew 6: 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. ... In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Regarding Praying to dead: Anyone other than Jesus Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun. John 14:6 (Jesus Alone is intercessor) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Hebrews 9:27 (if only all saints and mary where not human) And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment... Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Pearl Lance ... thank you for being charitable in your question. I’ve been hounded in these comments for something I posted and I’m aghast at the way at which we were spoken to/about. Just a few points that are insufficient in explaining anything! I’d need to sit down with a coffee and talk out some of your questions! But here’s a really brief explanation: 1) We agree. It is by grace through faith and works that we are saved. 2) We agree with the bible that there is one mediator between us and God and that is Jesus Christ. Mary is an intercessor. Just as Moses was for his people, etc. They are different terms and different roles. Our temporal sins affect God eternally. Jesus is God, only God and God’s sinless perfection could atone eternally for us. But Jesus calls us to redemptively suffer for others. He includes us in His work (Col 1:24).... and this is where you, me and Mary and the saints come in. Have a look at something called “redemptive suffering” 3) Praying means asking. In old English they would use the word more widely than we do today. For example in Shakespeare you might hear “pray tell” which means please explain. I ask people to pray for me all the time. I ask people questions everyday! It’s one aspect of worship. Just like I love my mum and I love God. God is due the best of my love, but I also have love for others in my life. Prayer is an aspect of worship due to God.... we believe that right worship of God involves sacrifice and He is the only person we sacrifice to (extended convo here on the Eucharist). 4) Necromancy is different from praying to saints. There’s whole videos on this if you just do a YT search of “Catholic Answers praying to the dead”... you should find a more extensive explanation. As Catholics we believe that we are all united in the body of Christ. The bible says that death does not separate us from the body. We see the saints in heaven taking prayers to God. The prayers of the righteous are powerful. Worth a little research because if I’m right, you’re missing out on so much support from heaven! 5) Yes, the commandment says we must not be idolatrous and must not worship graven images. God also commands Moses to make two angel statues on the Ark of the Covenant a couple of chapters later. Why is that? If a statue of Mary or Jesus is sinful then so is The Chosen because it is a graven image! So there’s more to this story than meets the eye!
Pearl Lance .... And finally, just something to ponder. Luther, Calvin and Zwingli all believed in the perpetual virginity of Mary. They all believed in the Eucharist (ie the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist)... they just disagreed on how the Eucharist became the Eucharist. Anyway, thank you again. You’re beautiful. If you want to know why it is we believe these things and for 2000 years most of the world has, just do a little YT search on Catholic Answers. All of them are ex-Protestant pastors and ministers. There’s also The Coming Home Network on YT... where you can hear testimonies of hundreds of protestant pastors and ministers who converted to Catholicism. Each testimony is about an hour long. So you can really delve into their logic. They all held similar objections to you. God bless you abundantly. Thank you again for your charity and patience.
A quote from St Augustine "I don't care to inquire why they cannot believe an earthly body can be in heaven, while the whole earth is suspended on nothing"
Hi all. As a Catholic Charismatic myself and I think I speak for most Catholics when I say that when we pray to Mary we pray to her to intercede on our behalf to her son Jesus after all what good Son would refuse his Mother anything that she would ask for And you My friends portrayed Mary beautifully when Jesus granted Mary her request at the wedding Just watching each and every episode I felt drawn into your family filled with love for each other You are all so filled with the Holy Spirit I Love you guys. I'm here in Johannesburg S A giving you a gentle push for season 2 can you feel it
Why ask Mary to pass your message if you can ask directly Jesus and have a beautiful relationship with Him :) When I was Catholic I definitely spent too much time talking to Mary instead of my Father. Once I changed it, the Holy Spirit filled my life like never before. God bless
@@paula280690 Why ask Mary? Read in the Bible why ask Mary.. If you still cannot find then come back and listen to what others in the same boat as you, found in the Bible..

Search for this video "From Wall Street to Rome, the Conversion of Carolyn King - 4/3/14" to know HOW the Bible came into existence and other divine truths. Listen to the testimony of this Lutheran Christian and know for yourself who Mary is to Jesus and what the truth is. God does NOT talk two different things to two different people. His Word remains the same for eternity. It is the men, led by the devil, who twist the words of scripture to suit their evil ways. I tried to post this testimony on the channel as well but "the channel" does not allow me to post I guess because it is the testimony of a Lutheran who found the truth.

@@maryfuentes9277 If it were true, that only Jesus can intercede for us, no one should pray for another person, which is obviously nonsense. Btw, also the saints in heaven intercede for us - read Revelation 6:9-11: "When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[e] were killed just as they had been."
The part I love the most with Mary is in the second season where Jesus walks up to the Disciples arguing around the fire after He spent the day ministering to the people. He is so exhausted and about to fall and she had just been talking about how He is grown and she does not have the chance to help Him as she did when he was younger. When he comes up and she follows Him into the tent and bathes him with the cool water...Oh! That scene made me cry!..The love between mother and son is a beautiful thing. I have a son with severe PTSD and have done all I can to help him and have now put him entirely in God's hands.
Thanks to the show, I’ve come to appreciate her more. I find myself seeing her through the eyes of the disciples. How they come to love her as their own mom.
This creation of The Chosen really touches my heart and have my Faith became stronger from before. As I have watched all the episodes, my tears have fallen as my heart was rejoiced by what i have been watching. I wish a success to all the creator of the Chosen. May God guide you with your Faith and Advocate. Can i ask a favor? How can i have a #TheChosenTShirt?
Praying to Mary for intercession is the same as asking a friend to pray for a any person or situation. Mary always directs her children to Jesus. He is the one who answers prayer. Mary is to be honored if only because of the unique role that she was asked to fill. Jesus’s Mother is our Mother too! Thank you, Jesus!
@Janet Beans these people whom you preach will NEVER get that.. Bcoz they trash their own mothers as soon as she gives them birth.. They use their mothers as an instrument to give birth and then trash their mothers..They think Jesus is like them, as soon as He was born He trashed His mother. No matter how much you try to explain they will NOT get it because they have never loved their own mother, how will they love or honor the Lord"s? All we can do is pray for these strayed children of God.
Janet Beans She was a mere mortal. She died and her body has decayed. Mary had no power of her own to rise again. And by your own comment you are basically admitting she is not unique. All those who died believing in Christ are in Heaven in spirit. But they have no power to effect anything on Earth. She cannot hear your prayers or answer them. She is not omnipresent or omnipotent.
Hey folks, before getting worked up about Roman Catholic ideologies one way or another... remember that God is our Judge. There are surely many things ALL sects of Christianity get wrong, but it is not our job to decide who has which parts incorrect. We must each worship with the Holy Spirit as our guide (“spirit and truth” if you recall from the end of ep. 8!). The beautiful thing is that regardless of what denomination we subscribe to, so long as we accept Him as our Savior (caveat: there’s a lot that goes with that), Jesus removes the stain of any of our misconceptions when we enter God’s Courts at the end of our days. If you consider a certain group to be truly in error, pray for them first and foremost. Ask God for discernment and revelation not just to those other people but to yourself as well. And then give it to God and move forward in love. Shalom to all!
Elizabeth Ashley We must not compromise God's WORD for any denomination. It is either God's Word or it isn't. It is either sound biblical doctrine or it isn't. Ecumenical worship (the "acceptance" of other denominational beliefs) and compromise is not of God. The Jesus of the Bible is the one true Jesus. Period. You either follow God's Word ALONE or you don't. Without. Compromise. Having a round table discussion with a Roman Catholic priest is compromise and can be very "confusing" for new believers. No compromise. No confusion. God is VERY clear about this in His Word. And Jesus ALWAYS corrected unsound doctrine. Remember the Samaritan woman at the well? Before He moved forward in discussion with her, He corrected her doctrinal error. Not to mention how He rebuked the religious leaders with their doctrinal error. Move forward in Christ. Much love in Christ🌿✝️🌿
Grace Faith SAVED Hi! Believe it or not, I actually agree with you on numerous (though admittedly not all) things you have written in various comments on this video. One of your greatest concerns is to avoid creating confusion for new believers, which is commendable and understandable. I respectfully caution you that the manner in which you are responding here unfortunately only serves to add to the cacophony. You point out perceived errors to others with little explanation and without offering any helpful corrections other than “go to the Bible.” A new believer - or even a believer since birth not well-versed in Scripture for whatever reason - would be at a loss to know where to begin searching for answers within the thousands of words in the Bible. If you wish to be a teacher, then please teach in whole and not in part. Your message will have much more reach and effect that way. God bless you!
Lord Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Yes for us (Catholic) we are one big “Family”. Jesus on the cross said “behold thy mother” that’s why she is our mother as well.
no read the book of John again, he was telling John to behold his mother not us, he was passing her onto John so she would now see John as a son and John see Mary as a mother so she could let go and see Jesus as her Lord and Saviour not her son anymore cos he was about to return to his Father and become the Saviour of all mankind, Mary is just like us a sinner in need of a Saviour, his is why she said to Elizabeth I rejoice in God my Saviour. John was the only desciple there so it makes sense Jesus would do that plus he was known as the desciple that Jesus loved probably cos he waas teh youngest.
Petra Sant - You are absolutely right.. And those who do not agree, and have commented out of their ignorance, do you even know Jewish culture? Do you know that a son would not hand over his mother to another man? Was John the ONLY one standing at the foot of the Cross? Did you conveniently forget the other women including Mary Magdalene? The right thing according to His Jewish culture would be to give His Mother to the next sibling, IF HE HAD ANY, that is... HE DID NOT. HE was the ONLY Son of Mary. Next, since no other sibling, the right thing to do was to hand Her over to a woman, NOT A MAN. Also note, He did not say, my beloved disciple John, here is your mother.. He said, son here is your mother and mother here is your son.. Meaning - hereby My Mother, I give you all my children as yours.. From now you are not only My Mother but of all who belong to Me. Dear Christians, please meditate on the Word of God, instead of reading it.. Each Word in the Scripture holds a treasure of Divine Wisdom.. Chew on each Word for days, weeks.. Know the culture of Jews of that time.. Know the Scripture through its author, the Holy Spirit and you will be amazed of how little the men know about the true teaching and yet dare to argue and blaspheme as if they wrote the Scripture and know what it means.
@@Timelesshero1711 Renouncing?? So God would give instructions/commandments to men that He Himself would not follow?? Goodness, how can a Christian say this? Please go and know for yourself who God is and then talk.
I love Chosen ! .... God bless everyone associated with it.... I acknowledge the fact that it is near Impossible to portray such a story with 100 percent accuracy . So far , you guys are doing a pretty good job (i just completed watching the 6th episode ) In this episode , I was kind of taken back when I saw that the conversation between Jesus and Mary continued even after he told that his time hasn't come ....... While reading the Bible ....that (absence of conversation) was kinda important to me . Since , it showed how Mary had faith in Jesus and that he would do it even though he wasn't supposed to, at that time ! ..... I also imagined that those scene would be left to the acting prowess of the actors , to convey the message without speaking of it !.. This is one of the many Biblical basis for me in believing in her mediation as a Catholic . Jesus honors his mother ! more than anyone else can and he heeds to her requests . God made Mary perfect enough to carry the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity ....she is different from the rest . All that aside , again , I enjoy the series and your directorial brilliance in connecting those two shots were well crafted but more importantly, I am very much relieved with the fact that you had pictured something beautiful in your mind and was trying your best not to give the wrong message or worst....bash Mary every chance you get , as many choose to ! ........... Waiting for season 2 .....God bless !
Luke 1:46-47 ~ And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 1 Timothy 2:5 ~ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
People worship Mary because of what is written in luke 1:28. But what proverbs 3:5 said do not lean to your understanding but trust the Lord. People forgot to ask God the meaning of the passage and what perspectives they should look at. The angels went to her and said "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." I saw people relate this with 'hail! Mary'. The Lord highly favored the people who surrender his/her life to him, seek his face and have a fellowship with him through the power manifestation of the Holy spirit. Perhaps people would defend by saying that she's the only women that is favored by the Lord or she the one who haven't commit original sin. Look if she the only woman that's favored by the Lord, what about Sarah, prophetess Deborah from judges, or Esther. If Mary doesn't commit original sin then that means she not human because according to the Catholic belief that original sin came from Adam and Eve from eating the forbidden fruit and it passes to different generations. Adam and eve are human so if Mary doesn't possess that sin then she not a descendants of Adam and Eve. The bible does not say about original sin, neither the angels or God praises Mary but rather find favour because of her obedience and humbleness to the Lord. Everyone sin including Mary. There are people who have favour from the Lord because they denied themselves and they accept themselves that they are dirty like Isaiah and accept God's mercy.
This is a beautiful interview but we really should not fellowship with darkness. Look up the demon altar in the Pope Pius IV audience hall/ snake building in Rome. It will open your eyes to what the RCC really is. - a former Catholic, now born again.
What a wonderful, honest, humble interview! So refreshing to see Dallas searching so earnestly to do the right thing for God. You are working so hard! So wonderful for the priests to take the time to respond to the various episodes and questions. We are traditional Catholics from Maine who view every episode of the Chosen at least three times. If you read the abridged edition of the Mystical City of God by Mary of Agreda around page 300 you will find the birth of Jesus and be amazed at the event and first words Jesus says to Mary and Joseph. God spoke to Mary of Agreda and said, " I want you to spend time with my Mother and write down what she has to say. The Gospels are enough for salvation, but some need to know more details." It was like God was differentiating for people who need to know more about HIm. What a good teacher! Mary Does not go into labor during the birth of Jesus. We were not offended though during the nativity episode. There are four volumes in the Mystical City of God, but the abridged edition will be enough for many. We just purchased an outdoor screen and projector so we can view the Chosen with our friends.
Ave Maria, gratia plena Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, Ora pro nobis peccatoribus Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae Amen.
Y'all. I'm so thankful for this whole cast and crew and vision. I'm thankful because every video I've seen from you guys, I'm constantly pointed back to Jesus and His word!! It's incredible how you all carry His Spirit and are moving powerfully through this thing. Love you guys!!!
When I hear that the Holy Trinity can not say no to Mary, you know she is extremely loved by them. I am learning she was extraordinary When Christ looks at her when she asks about the wine.. my heart falls for the love he shows to her, and that little look of 'ahhh, mother' he gives to her... that note that He, Christ.. the Son of God, can not refuse her request. I am told Catholics honor her, they do NOT worship her.
@@InitialPC Nahh, we don’t worship her at all. Our faith and worship is centered in Christ alone. “Hail Mary” in the context of scripture when the Archangel, Gabriel speaks to Mary and calls her “full of grace” (Lc 1,28) was a common form of greeting or salutation. It’s kind of like saying, “Hello!”. Hope that clarified some misconceptions :)
We just love this program, it does fill in Jesus' humanity, sense of humor, and shows the wonders of his power. It often makes me cry to see how good God is.
Catholics dont worship Mary but we give her the highest honor and veneration given to a saint and it called hyperdolia considering that she is the mother of Jesus... this episode in the Chosen is the best representation of Mary ever made on screen...Thank you Dallas and team !!!
one thing we have to becareful is that mary kinda becoming a idol , we can admire her and things but lets never forget that as believers we have direct access to jesus when we pray and seek him . so i loved how chosen showed each character . idols in our life is never good something i pray for myself and others
Father misrepresented the Church when he said, "Since Vatican II, the Church has tried to correct popular piety NOW." As if, before Vatican II, it was ok to worship Mary. That's false. The Church NEVER allowed anyone to worship Mary. Father should have clearly stated that.
Popular piety does have its excesses. But the Church has always tried to distinguish between the respectable and the frauds. Many liberal priests do not exhibit much reverence toward Marty. After Vatican II, some would have ceased almost all devotion. The problem was that many of these priests were in their theology less “catholic” than many Southern Baptists. Not unlike the faithless priests that Luther claimed to find in Rome during his pilgrimage there.
Howard Bigg Uh oh, someone been reading their Bible without the Roman editors approval. I’m still studying my Bible to find any references to Rome as the name of the True Church.
Aww..thank you! You brought me to tears. As a Catholic I loved how you showed Jesus's love for his mother and vice versa. Jesus loved his mother so much that we too love her. People do forget that she was a mother and she saw he son suffer and die for the humanity of the world. We did not deserve that sacrifice that they both gave.
The Chosen shines on the ecumenical virtues of Christianity. Every aspect is thought about and researched so well which brings so many people from different denominations of faith together as they identify themselves in so many characters in so many situations. The show is alive and living.
Def, when praying the rosary and meditating on the mysteries of Jesus's life, these images of the wedding and jesus lost, are really present. For the sorrowful misteries, the movie The Passion makes you really feel it! Cant wait for more mysteries to be present in the Chosen.
Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus loves and respects and honors Mary as his mother. Catholics follows the example of Jesus therefore it follows that all followers of Jesus must also love and respect and honor Mary as the mother of Jesus.
The Bible records Mary as saying: "All generations shall call me blessed." Shall we hate or ignore her, because we think that others have loved her too much? How many generations? ALL. What shall we call her? BLESSED, favoured by God, full of grace, the one upon whom our whole salvation depended. Blessed Mary literally carried the God-man in her womb for 9 months, she & Joseph raised Him from infancy, taught Him to eat and walk and speak and think and pray, through all the "Hidden Years". She suffered alongside Him, and was there at the Cross, and rejoiced when He rose again. "All generations shall call me blessed."
She didnt die for your sins, or anyones, All generations shall call me blessed , because literally she's blessed God chose her, GOD CHOSE HER, all glory be to God and not to her, theres difference between Blessed as like im blessed and Blessed as if worthy to be exalted
"the one upon whom our whole salvation depended" - you see, that is blasphemy. Our salvation does not depend at all on Mary. God could have sprung Jesus up out of a rock if He wanted to. She was an instrument, that is all. Our salvation depended solely upon Jesus.
She is indeed blessed. But Jesus is our savior we should call him Holy not to Mother Mary kasi same lang po natin sya tao. But di din natin makakaila na malaki ang role ni Mother Mary sa pag dating ng Messiah. 😇
I'm a catholic and I think this show is absolutely amazing and I'm glad I found "The Chosen".
I come from the other end of the Christian spectrum and could not agree more. That Christians no matter what their backgrounds (except for a few) embrace this means it must be special.
Agreed and amen.
This show is truly Christian it reunites the faith in discussion instead of arguments
It’s not perfect. But it is BY FAR the best representation of the life of Jesus in film. Mary doesn’t completely suit me. But that is nitpicking.
@@johnfrancis4401, I agree. This IS nitpicking.....I don't like that she has earrings on and they also look like something we'd wear today. She just doesn't seem like how I picture the Mother of God.
Unfortunately these two gentlemen didn't answer Dallas's questions directly so here are the answers: 1.) Catholicism DOES NOT teach that Mary should be worshipped in any way, and 2.) Catholicism DOES NOT teach that Mary is equal to Jesus
You sir are, how shall I say it kindly, deviating from the truth.
Actually most Catholics believe that, they believe she is the queen of heaven
They pray to Mary like she were Jesus, like Mary is the way to God when she's not, biblically speaking.
Christ is the only mediator, not Mary
@@ExNihiloNihilFit319 True
I am not Catholic but this gave me a new respect for Mary that I never had before, so thank you!
Mary is mother of Jesus, she deserves respect.
@@hopebaratheon6429 yes just like mary magdalene and peter, david and esther and Joseph and Abraham and Paul and Ruth and many more in the bible deserve respect.
@Catherine Morland. I think you misunderstood me. I never said I never respected her......I should have said ' more' of a respect. But that is my fault. Sorry about that! I will say I am not Catholic so I don't hold her in as high of a position as Catholics do. To me, Jesus is the one who should be exalted over all of creation.
Mary is not a mother to any of us. Eve is though.
@@tsss1620 Yes.
I love the way Dallas approaches this talk. I’m Catholic, and I love our Blessed Mother, and I love how they picture Mary in the show. So beautiful, you really see her as that clement, loving, sweet Jewish mother. It’s beautiful watching her interact with Jonathan Rhoumie (Jesus). Thank you, Dallas! God bless you!
I agree!
From Manila. Stay safe!
The Mary of the Passion was more like Our Lady: contemplative not a talker or occupied in mundane things.
@@texaslocoman1 But this show isn't that movie is it? Here's an idea, just enjoy the show. It's not being irreverant and showing her dancing on tables. She was livings her life as a devout Jewish woman chosen by God, not Carmelo. If it offends your sensibilities and God is offended, Dallas will deal with those consequences, not you. Watch or don't watch, that's your call.
@@reginapontes5672 I watch the show. It is well done. Great performances. It has many historical, biblical and doctrinal inaccuracies and errors but it's a show. I can check for these inaccuracies and comment on them, it;s my prerogative.
@@texaslocoman1 Just chill then. You acknowledge you understand the difference. Just enjoy it the show for what it is and how it's bringing people closer to Jesus! Especially during this Holy Week 2020 when Dallas is running a The Chosen marathon nightly this week. 2 episodes every night!
“Honor your mother...”. Who could honor their mother more than Jesus?
"Honor your mother" not "worship" or "pray her". It's idolatry and idolatry is a sin.
@@Ballerina1974 Catholics don't WORSHIP Mary 🤣🤣
@@sxlara not all of them, but some. My mother used to, when she was catholic.
@@Ballerina1974 Praying is NOT the same as worshipping. Have you never in your entire life asked prayers from anyone? Did you never even once ask somebody to pray for you or your family??? Then why are you opposed when people who love Mary and accept Her as their own Mother, ask for Her prayers?? If God can honor the prayers of sinners, how much more will He not honor the prayers of the one whom He called "full of grace, you found favor with Me" ???
Julie J No where in Scripture does Jesus instruct us to pray to Mary Jesus says in John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life NO ONE comes to the Father but by Me Please provide chapter and verse where Jesus tells us to pray to Mary..Catholic church has another Mary made up by unregenerate men, clergy who simply made up catholic mary to be a cash cow for the Vatican
As an Orthodox Christian, I love how St. Mary was portrayed in the series. This conversation was also very well-done. It's good to see people with a different perspective on certain things having a good conversation. Blessings!
Are you serious?
Christ is risen, my brother!
@Jp copts are not real orthodox?
@Jp that is a poor argument. just because it was written in greek doesn't mean the greeks are right and everyone else is wrong
@Jp there is more to Christianity than just the language of the text

Thank you to Mr. Jenkins for the respect you showed all Catholics through this interview. It is truly appreciated.
Yesss. That was very respectful of him. 👌
June Gerber this is the creed - The Apostles Creed - what Catholics believe and profess:
I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
We most definitely are Christian and believe that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Holy Trinity and that He died to redeem us and save us from our sins. We renounce satan and all his works and empty promises . I don’t know where you got your information from, but it is indisputably incorrect. What if I was to say that all Protestants aren’t Christian because you are not Catholic? That would be insensitive wouldn’t it? And also not true. Please think about giving Catholics the same respect. Read about the Catholic Faith by a Catholic if you truly desire to know what we profess to be true, not by Protestants who are misguided about the teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Faith.
@@junegerber4028 Very "Christian" of you. What an extraordinary example of Christ's love you display with your beautiful words.

All generations shall call her blessed
Luke 11:27As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”
28He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
hahahahah you idolator. Repent sinner
@@GarettFinney For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Luke 1:48 KJV
The verse you named just proves how blessed Mary is. St. Augustine said: "Mary is more blessed in receiving the faith of Christ, than in conceiving the flesh of Christ. ... For his brothers, his relatives according to the flesh who did not believe in him, of what advantage is that relationship? Even her maternal relationship would have done Mary no good unless she had borne Christ more happily in her heart than in her flesh."
@@GarettFinney Mary was both. He was not dismissing the blessedness of His mother, rather pointing out that it was her obidiance to God, which resulted in her being His mother, that is to honored. Mary could have said 'no', but she said yes by saying "let it be done to me according to your word". It is this obedience that makes her blessed.
@@GarettFinney rude, much. This is a place for constructive conversations, not insults. And ALL OF US ARE SINNERS. There is a Catholic phrase that I think is very apt: "Mass is a hospital for sinners, and Confession is the emergency room."
Jesus is the Divine Physician. We go to Him, both to maintain good spiritual health, but also when we are in crisis. Just calling someone a sinner is like just telling someone "your bleeding" and then not helping them.
And because I know you will say something about Confession:
James 5:14-16
John 20:23
Matthew 16:19, 18:18
2 Cor 5:18
Lev 4:20, 5:14-26
I really loved the depiction of Mary in the Chosen. Such an authentic "mom" figure.
And to see her adoration of her son and her love for Him was heart warming.
I'm a Catholic and I'm deeply grateful to Dallas and everyone else involved in this beautiful project. We are all brothers and sisters in the faith.
AMEN!! God bless you all our Protestant and Orthodox brothers and sisters!!!!!🤗
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to others without hatred. This series is truly for everyone.

Jesus corrected unsound doctrine without compromise. Correction of doctrine is done in Christ's love. Dallas can speak with whomever he chooses, as can we, but at the end of the day: Have we corrected unsound doctrine? Or have we compromised?
@@gracefaithsaved, Jesus hung out with sinners and the Pharisees hated him for it.

I know He did. And He preached repentance to them.
What is your point?

I have commented repeatedly throughout the numerous comment threads here.
Check out the Fuel Project on UA-cam. Know your enemy series. Start from the beginning. They cover the catholic church around the 23rd episode. There is only ONE WAY to God the Father and that is through Jesus Christ, His only son. Mary was a sinful human being servant of God in need of a Savior, just like us. Mary would be devastated to know how the catholic church has elevated her! Jesus IS our High Priest! The veil was torn. It is finished! We can approach the throne boldly. No need for a human priest. Glory to God for His great love, mercy, and grace!!! Maranatha! ✝️🕊🙏🏻
As a catholic who prays the rosary, I find myself meditating on this portrayal of the wedding feast at Cana with much benefit and have throughly enjoyed Season 1.
@joanne same! My meditations on the mysteries often include imagery from the scenes in this series! Especially the Christmas episode ❤️
The sheer joy exuded by this at the wedding. is intoxicating to look at. Im love the way that the snarky father in law comes around to realizing that he has never experienced anything as wonderful despite all his advantages in life. Also he looks at the canopy and sees no flaw. The wine, of course, is part of it, literally unearthly food. We are kind of in heaven as it will be, people dancing and singing, not just floating around on a cloud.
Ahh u violated one of the 10 commandments ," do not make images n worship "wake up please m am ex catholic .I praise God for bringing me out of the deception that ur into
@@smgloria1601 Sorry, but you are wrong. If it were so as you say, "The Chosen" would be a blasphemy, because it depicts Jesus Christ.
The commandment which prohibits the service to idols, after Jesus Christ has taken flesh from rhe Blessed Virgin Mary, lived with us and redeemed us, refers to anything outside of God which or who occupies in our lives the absolute rank. This rank is reserved only to the Triune God Himself: We are called to serve Him with all our love and all our forces (1. commandment).
I'll be honest, one of the other things I look at from the outside in the catholics is the rosary. How do they explain the vain repetition? Matthew 6:7 - But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
I'm Catholic and I enjoyed the whole show! That's powerful... God chose our humanity to tell us who is He!
Thank you so much... I can't wait for the second season...
This conversation brings tears to my eyes it’s so beautiful! Thank you thank you thank you for bridging the misunderstandings!! I am literally standing here with tears in my eyes of joy... Unity, Faith, Love....
We don’t worship Mary. We see her as our mother.
Yah, but the graven images in your churches aren't the real Mary. It's the Queen of Heaven Ishtar, also called Astarte, Artemis, Diana. That's why God's second commandment is to not make graven images, and your churches are full of them. That's blasphemy. The Muslims got that, the Jews got that, the Protestants got that......Catholics didn't get the memo...? NO GRAVEN IMAGES.
The Jews had everything placed in the ark of the covenant...the holy vessel of honour in whom God dwelt among his people...and that is mother Mary...Those lacking the inheritance of the ancestors don't have it nor do they understand it's significance about the hand made of the lord.
@Karen Gonzalez She is a mother to us all. When Eve did not heed God, she remained our spiritual mother. But we needed a New Eve, one who was without sin so that we may return to Eden to be with the New Adam who call Jesus Christ.
@@micahbellonline9462 how are those “graven images” with the nativity scene at Christmas time working out for you? 🤔 I can assure you Catholics know the statue or paintings are not actually mary.
@@magnoliam4159 I wouldn't know, Christmas is also a pagan holiday I don't participate in. Also given to you by the Romans who actually crucified Jesus. Just like your religion full of satanic rituals you won't find in the Bible, inspired by Satan.

Indeed she was the greatest servant of God always obeying to his will until the end, I know that she is well respected among the muslims I'm happy to know your sister carry such a beautiful name. May the Lord inspire our people to respect each such as he inspired Saint Francis and Salah al-Din.

@@mirkoandrea2297 No, none at all.

One of my favorite things about this whole project is that conversations like THIS are happening
Same! I love that Dallas is consulting these guys! Even the Jewish Rabbi, who is not in this video.
Yea that's so true 👍
Yeah, let’s have a “conversation” about:
-Infant baptism
-Purgatory
-Confession to priests
-Praying to (worshipping) Mary
-Praying to so-called saints
-Dead relatives becoming guardian angels
-Priestly celibacy
-Putting “traditions” of the church above clear scripture
-Replacing Christ as head of the church with a pope
-Mary as “sinless” (aka, the “immaculate conception”)
-Catholics (the pope) magically turning 2 sacraments into 7.
-absolute HERETICAL view that the priest turns a wafer and wine into Christ’s body and blood.
-Equally heretical, that consuming this wafer and wine is saving you.
Etc, etc etc etc....
ANY church filled with this much blasphemy, heresy, and idolatry has NO PLACE at any table TO START ANY “CONVERSATION.”
They and their sad victims should repent and abandon the false teachings and follow the clear teachings of the Bible, not your priest. Seriously, open the Bible. The true Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth.
@@MrPlaneTalk Perhaps you should read about the early Church and the early Church fathers’ writings. You may reconsider what you call heresy.
I wholeheartedly agree! Even though I take issue with certain Catholic doctrines, I really appreciate the real discussions that we see here. The division in the Body of Christ has always bothered me and to see Jesus bring us together in humility and just talk reasonably with one another about our interpretations and understandings is the way it is supposed to be from God's word. Shalom!
As a devout Catholic, I had no problem with the depiction of Mary in Episode 5. In fact, it was very enlightening. Good work!
As a catholic I agree... this was magnificently portrayed :) Thank you so much for that episode!!

Your misrepresentations of the faith are too numerous to count. Seems like you must have slept through catechism.
This is the episode that opened my eyes. I have been praying for years to have the grace to see Mary as my Mother and that I could go to her and just follow her example of being a true disciple of Christ.
God Bless you Dallas and all the cast🙏💕
About piety. Both Bernardette and Lucy commented how the statues of the Virgin “got wrong” the appearance of Our Lady. One has to be a Leonardo to capture animation as he did with the Mona Lisa.
Who died for u is it Mary or jesus ? Who loved u so much so as to leave his glory n come into this flithy world to die ur answer would b Jesus right ,if god loves us soo much till extent that he took up human form to teach us his ways y will he such a loving God need a mediator to work between him n us ,please sis am an ex catholic I insist u to read bible through help of holy spirit God
@Sm Gloria Jesus died for me and the sins of all mankind. God does not need Mary, and God does not need any of us, but God sees fit to make us to bring Him glory. He did not need Mary to be the means through which our Lord is brought into the world, but he chose her and made her as he saw worthy to do these tasks for his glory. Jesus is our one mediator, because he is the means through which our sins can be forgiven. But, that doesn’t mean that other people can’t pray for us or do good works that can contribute to people’s salvation, because of the merits and grace of Jesus. For example, preaching the gospel is one act that could contribute to the salvation of someone, because of the merit and grace of God. Mary is a great handmaid through which God brought the Savior into the world, and he made her as he saw worthy for this task, through the grace that he gave her of her Immaculate Conception (conceived without original sin).
We don’t worship Mary, we venerate (highly honor her). These two concepts are entirely different, because worship is reverence purely for a deity, and has always been connected with sacrifice. Catholic theology defines worship due only to God as latria. The honor to Mother Mary is called hyperdulia, because it is high honor. Some reasons we venerate Mary are because she is the humble handmaid of the Lord (Psalm 31:30), she is our mother (John 19:27), she is queen of Heaven (Rev 12:1-2), and she is seen fit by God to be the way through which our Lord enters the world, and therefore to play a crucial role in the salvation of mankind.
She can help us greatly through her intercession to her son. It is her son who is the source, but she can make requests to God from a motherly perspective, and Christ responds abundantly to her requests, as seen in the Wedding at Cana. As Catholics, we ask the intercession of saints, just as you might ask someone else to pray for you. We ask saints, because they are a cloud of witnesses watching over us (Heb 12:1) and are praying for us in Heaven (Rev 5:8). Therefore, they can witness our request for prayers, and as holy people in Heaven, their prayers are more powerful than our own (James 5:16, 1 Pet 3:12). This is why the earliest Christians, such as Hermas (ad 80), Clement of Alexandria (ad 208), and Origen (ad 233) talk about the intercession of the saints and angels.
The Bible teaches the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. First, God promised to make a woman with emnity to Satan, whose offspring will crush Satan. Mary is whose offspring crushed Satan, and being born without original sin is the only way she could be in complete enmity with Satan. In fact, we see this dogma in clearer terms in Luke 1:28, when the angel Gabriel called Mary “full of grace.” In the original text, the Greek word Kecharitomene is used, which is uniquely in the present perfect passive tense, which means “to have been endowed with grace.” The angel also gives honor to Mary, when every other time in Scripture, humans are below and honor angels. So, the angel was saying that there was a special and honorable amount of grace given to her before her son was born. The Catholic Church teaches that she was given the grace to be born without original sin out of the merits of her son that were counted beforehand for her.
If you seek Mary’s intercession faithfully, she will bring you to Jesus.
'When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her womb. *Elizabeth was FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,* and crying out loudly, she said:
"You are the most blessed among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
How is it that the *MOTHER OF MY LORD* comes to me?"'
Luke 1: 41-42
The Holy Spirit guided Elizabeth to call her mother of the Lord✨ Mother of the Lord!!! ♥️✨
She is truly the most blessed women.
Imagine..living in a house with Jesus for 30 years, nurturing Him, putting Him to sleep, raising Him up. 💖💖
I know how much i love my mother. I can only imagine how much Mary would have been loved!!
She truly is the most blessed and most respected and most loved women ever!
1 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Mother of the lord does not translate from the original text, your reading a catholic bible if that is what your bible says. Mother of MY lord the difference between (the) and (my) is huge.
@Collins Anosike The Bible all 66 Books were written by Jews not one catholic among them, all written centuries before the catholic church ever existed. Its amazing you can claim it as a "catholic document" but being catholic yourself I'm not surprised.
@Collins Anosike Very Respectfully With All Due Respect Good Gods Day, this first portion of this comment is just information, These theatrical efforts NEVER SHOW the actual true skinned toned people of The Jews Hebrews Isrealites, all the same,
The Scripturual Jews Hebrews Isrealites were Black Brown Tanned People Not White Caucasian people, Seems As Though Caucasians Read Gods Holy Scriptures Only Seeing White People When They Do Read Gods Word, When In Fact Because of All Scripturual Regions of Jews Hebrews Isrealites EVERYONE KNOWS THAT JEWS HEBREWS ISREALITES WERE BLACK BROWN TANNED PEOPLE,
Maybe One Day People Will Stop Making These theatrical efforts in the WRONG FALSE SKIN TONE OF PEOPLE AND also people will stop Reading Gods Scriptures Pretending To Be Blind TO THESE FACTS, THE SCRIPTURUAL JEWS HEBREWS ISREALITES WERE BLACK BROWN TANNED PEOPLE, THEY WERE NOT!!! WHITE PEOPLE!!!! No One Ever Wants TRUTH BUT THIS IS TRUE ANYHOW!!!!
*F💡💡D FOR THOUGHT:*
NO WHERE IN GODS HOLY SCRIPTURUES TEACHES THAT WE ARE TO GIVE ANY SPECIAL HONOR TO MARY, JESUS EARTHLY MOTHER, MARY ABSOLUTELY DID NOT BIRTH GOD!!!!! MARY ONLY BIRTHED THE FLESH THAT GOD LIVED IN, MARY WAS THE VESSEL USED MARY WAS NOT THE SALVATION VESSEL MARY IS NOT THE SOUL SALVATION SPIRIT JESUS THE CHRIST IS AND ALSO THE CATHOLIC BELIEF WAS FOUNDED BY A MAN BY THE NAME OF BONIFACE III, BONIFACE III WAS NOT MENTIONED IN GODS HOLY SCRIPTURES NOT ONE TIME, THEREFORE THIS MAN CAN NOT BE SCRIPTURUALLY COUNTED AS NO FOUNDER OF NOTHING PERTAINING TO WHAT GOD THE FATHER
HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED ALSO IN RESEARCH BONIFACE III THE FOUNDER GENTLEMEN THAT WAS COUNTED AS THE FOUNDER OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, BONIFACE III, IN RESEARCH IS QOUTED TO HAVE BEEN A VERY POMPOUS, ARROGANT, GREEDY FOR MONEY AND POWER AND POSITION AND HE WAS AN UN-REPENTANT MURDERER, AS NOTED IN RESEARCH (LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELVES), NOW SO, A MAN NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN GODS HOLY SCRIPTURUES CAME ON THE SCENE, ACCORDING TO MANS HISTOROCAL RESEARCH, BONIFACE III CAME ON THE SCENE ABOUT 1200 YEARS WAAAAAAY AFTER JESUS THE CHRIST HAD ALREADY CAME AND HAS NOW ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN AND NOW ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD RIGHT NOW AND BONIFACE III HAS CLAIMED TO BE THE FOUNDER OF GODS WORD AND BONIFACEIII CLAIMS TO BE THE FOUNDER OF GODS CHURCH!?!?!? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! THE ONLY FOUNDER THERE IS OF GODS CHURCH IS GOD HIMSELF, ABSOLUTELY NOT, BONIFACE III; THE WORD *"CATHOLIC"* IS NOT EVEN NO WHERE IN GODS HOLY SCRIPTURUES, NOT AT ALL, SO WHY ARE PEOPLE BELIEVING IN A "RELIGION" THAT IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN GODS SCRIPTURES NO WHERE AND WHY ARE PEOPLE BELIEVING IN BONIFACE III WHO WAS NOT MENTIONED NO WHERE IN GODS HOLY SCRIPTURUES TO THEN PEOPLE BELIEVING IN A MAN MADE BELIEF CALLED CATHOLIC WHICH GOD IN HIS HOLY SCRIPTURUES SPEAKS NOTHING ABOUT, CATHOLIC BELIEF, THE CATHOLIC ASSIGNED FOUNDER BONIFACE III IS A FALSE UNSCRIPTURAL FOUNDER OF GODS CHURCH AND CATHOLIC IS ALL FALSE DOCTRINE AMD A FALSE BELIEF SYSTEM AND CATHOLIC ANYTHING IS ALL ABSOLUTELY NOT OF GOD, YOU ALL THAT BELIEVE IN CATHOLIC ANYTHING BETTER WAKE UP AND SERIOUSLY START READING GODS HOLY SCRIPTURUES AND NOT THE SO CALL FALSE CATHOLIC MAN MADE DOCTRINE VERSION OF GODS SCRIPTURES, CATHOLIC SO CALL GODS HOLY SCRIPTURUES IS FULLY AND COMPLETELY FALSE!!!!!!!
YALL BETTER HURRY UP AND WAKE UP!!!!!

@@nextlevelamazing7865 thank you. I am white and have always said Jesus is not white. Look at people that live in the Mediterranean area. They are not white. They are brown with dark wiry hair and have brown to hazel eyes. AND thank you for the correct history of the origin of Catholicism. We are to follow NO RELIGION. Just Jesus ,God and the Holy Spirit.
The differences in the Body of Christ are so painful. We need to appreciate this show for all the good it does, and not get hung up on relatively minor things. I hope it will be taken that way, and thus empower the cause of Christ. No one is going to agree with everything, and if that were our criteria nothing would ever get accomplished. (See Christian history for how the church can be terribly self-destructive.)
So let's pray for everyone involved in this project, that they would develop it in the most beneficial way. Not only is it edifying the Body of believers, it is going to be a fantastic evangelistic tool.
Blessings.
If the truth is hidden from you, would you not want it revealed? As a part of the body of Christ, I to have a job to do for God‘s kingdom. God can use all of us, What Dallas is doing, what you are doing and what I am doing and not only that, perhaps he wants it all together in one place to bring about Truth, Unity, Love and Forgiveness.
Bob Smith The enemy wants you to put respect above Truth, but the truth is that there is Greater Respect in giving the Truth. Do you think your dad would’ve liked to have been respected enough to have been given the truth about the doctrine that opened the door to sexual immorality causing that priest to molest him? While I am thankful your dad came to the truth and forgave, how many go lost because of what these priests have done to our Children!!!! I could write So much on this subject but I will keep it simple. Spiritual Adultery (going to a priest for absolution worshiping and praying to anyone who is not God Almighty or believing that taking a wafer is remaining in Christ rather than studying His Word, Worshiping and praying to Him alone) is spiritual adultery and it manifests itself into sexual immorality and that spirit wreaks havoc for those who don’t know, who lay ignorant of God’s Word because they’ve been given, “not the Bible” to be read with The Holy Spirit as The Spirit of Truth Who Leads us into all Truth but instead, the Catholic church doctrine of worship of Mary instead of The Savior. Take a look at what happened with the Israelites when the made the gold calf........they worshipped another, this spiritual adultery turned into sexual immorality as they began having orgies with each other, men with men and women with women. God turned them over to their ways! Here we can see in Romans 1 a bit of what I’m talking about. But before I give this, I’d like to say that I pray for this film most everyday, I do not want it to fail, I love that it’s bringing people to read and study God’s Word. I’m concerned that some of it can cause confusion because even I after watching had to stop and try to remember an instance in the Bible that I had to determine whether I read a certain part as truth in God’s Word or did I see it in the film. Anyhow, here is the scripture I wanted to share~in love, not malice; if I seem angry, it’s because I am, I’m angry this doctrine still exists and hurts Children.
5 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed--a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,fn just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”fn
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:5-32
Appreciate that, Paul! We're all in this together.
@@teresavaughn2404 I am going to encourage you to keep reading the Bible just as I do daily as a Catholic Christian. However, I would also encourage you to look up subjects like Mary, worship and salvation in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. While your zeal and concern for Catholic souls I would grant is sincere, your dialogue with Catholics on what is authoritatively believed would be better served after perusing some points of the Catechism so you can engage with both faith and reason honorable and fairly.
Teresa Vaughn
The religious are the most difficult to save.
This is why the remnant church is and always has been very small.
John 3:3
Jesus said, "You must be born again."
And this is why there is only a small remnant of believers because to regenerate we must worship in Spirit and in Truth. Otherwise it is 'strange fire' to God and not all worship is accepted. He is very clear about this in Scripture. But if people do not want to hear it, then we must leave it at the Foot of God. He ultimately knows who will accept Him and who won't. At least we brought them the Truth, the rest is up to God. I hope you remain strong in the Word and that you continue to bring the Truth to the deceived. For it truly is astounding how many people will perish for lack of knowledge. But for those who outright reject the God of the Bible for their religion? It's not good. Not good at all.
Mr. Jenkins, Our Most Blessed Lord and Our Holy Mother are certainly guiding your work!
Im from Philippines. I really love watching The Chosen.
As an Orthodox Christian (who was formerly Evangelical), I love the authenticity with which these - and really all - of the scenes your team does. The honesty and integrity behind the script and where it takes you have created such a powerful medium that it really moves people. These events were REAL - and they happened to REAL PEOPLE. You all manage to "flesh things out" so beautifully that we, as an audience, get to really feel we are that "fly on the wall," seeing the Lord's interactions with His beloved people. This is so POWERFUL - thank you!!
Pamela Puterbaugh
Orthodox Christianity is unbiblical and believes in unsound doctrine. Please go back to God's WORD. Alone.
Welcome to the Church of Christ and the Apostles.. I am Orthodox also from Jordan. We are quite literally the first Christians in the world and we are all originally Orthodox ...so yes... with all respect to other traditions but you indeed have come home to the "first church" .....I find it funny though when others talk about Orthodoxy as unbiblical when it is us (by God's grace) who gave them the bible lol
Michael you are in historical error as well as doctrinal. You should inform yourself.
@@gracefaithsaved -
@@Michael-heavenly Amen to that... There would not have been a bible, if it hadn't been preserved...
I am a protestant and I didn't hear much about Mary at church growing up. But this show is making me fall in love with her! This non verbal communication moments are soooo beautiful!!!
As a Catholic myself, I appreciate the respect you gave to her even though you are not Catholic. The respect you showed her pleases Christ. I wouldn’t be surprised if you eventually become Catholic.
There's a lot of history to Catholicism . A lot including pagan origins . I realise most Catholics are away from the truth of Christ & the Bible . The popes rides in big gold chariots while Jesus was broke when he was ministering & didn't have a place to lay his head on . They make idols & worship the disciples , saints , Mary when that's NOT what the Gospel says or what Jesus said . She was chosen for God's glory but there's no need to pray or worship her when there's just One way to the Father nd that's through the Son .
@@rxse7826 amen
@@rxse7826 it's not exactly 'worshipping'... We are simply asking Mother Mary to intercede for us, like she did at the wedding in Cana.
@@adeeness Jesus is our interceder, not His mom, she does not have all knowing power, she does not hear our prayers, we pray to the father through the son and the work of the holy spirit. Mary was and is important, but she is not our interceder.
@@lizbethharo8287 You've got it wrong. There is no hierarchy within the Holy Trinity. We worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the same breath.
And about Mary we do not know what power she has or doesn't have. All we know is her deeds in the Bible, the parting words of Jesus where he declares Mary to be our mother and the fact that she got ascended directly into heaven.
Based on these facts we simply treat her like our own Divine Mother, to whom we ask to intercede to for us to her Divine son.
And even if she is not All knowing as you boldly claim, God sees us humbling ourself willingly before his own Mother. And we hope he takes notice of that and bless us.
The scene of wedding in Cana it's really amazing and beautiful, the way Mary concern and saved that family from embarrassment, the way she approach Jesus and the most touching for me is when Jesus look at her with the emotions in his face, it's very clear that Mary always want to bring us closer to Jesus and save us from the embarrassment ❤😇
The "Please!" moments, to me, were the soul of Mary carrying our prayers to her Son.
I hope you allow me to lovingly correct you. The please moments were the soul of her own prayers being carried to her son
@@ramonmora9315 I agree.. I am Catholic and I pray only to jesus.. I honor Mary, only in the way the Angel gabriel did.. she was chosen among ALL women to birth God in flesh, but she too needed a savior...The is but one mediator between God and man.. Christ Jesus.. my catholic bible says that.. peace be with you
I love how every detail is given such special attention - not wanting to deviate from the scriptures and yet keeping the story fresh and realistic... taking care to be in correct standing with the Catholic church and other churches. This is why this series has been embraced and loved the way it has. It's no wonder that the production is reaching all ages and groups of society. One can clearly see that the 'hand of the Lord' is at work here.
Watching the various episodes and videos bts, it suddenly struck me that this production is reaching out to all four points of the earth... This is one of the 'end-time signs' spoken of in the Book of Revelations! Praise God!
Wow, Queen Cleo, that means so much, what an awesome and humbling thing to ponder. Thank you for your amazing partnership-so glad to have you in our Chosen Family!
I looooved watching this series ... Awesome! Can’t wait for Season 2. I wondered why at the wedding at Cana, Jesus was depicted as calling Mary “Mother”, rather than “Woman”. Jesus’ reference to Mary as “Woman” is quite significant because it points to something deeper, i.e., the new Eve - the Woman that carried the seed that will crush the head of the serpent. At the wedding at Cana, Jesus not only revealed who he is publicly for the first time, he also publicly revealed who Mary is - Jesus, the new Adam; Mary, the new Eve. Beautiful connection that speaks to a lot theologically
It is unfortunate that some of the artistic liberties taken end up taking away from many theological aspects such as this. Still, I appreciate the series for moving us into discussing these sort of things that we may not have otherwised discussed among denominations, even though I also think that the depictions in the series might not be the best start for a new Christian convert.
I think it's a modern sensibility thing, it might come across as disrespectful to the audience who wouldn't really get the subtle aspects you have mentioned. Also, as greatly made as this series is, it's still directed by an Evangelical Protestant. No offense to them (and the director), but Mariology and Biblical Typology aren't their strong points. In fact, I'm honestly surprised at how Catholic the show's depiction of Our Lady is.
@@GermanicusCaesar117 I am evangelical and would disagree about that biblical tipology thing, at least for the case of Christ ( that is who realy matters in the end ) my study bible is full of places where it points out Christ tipos in the old testament.
I am so glad you had this meeting with Catholic priests. I am Catholic and have loved watching The Chosen. I share the links to your interviews and other videos. I promote the show every chance I get. It has helped me better understand my struggles with my faith. I've never lost faith but I wasn't nurturing it either. Thank you for rekindling my faith through The Chosen.
The level of humility they have for each other throughout the conversation is amazing.
Misunderstanding Mary's role in the church and every Christian's life is one of the devil's best temptations. Mary's main role is to point us to Jesus and help us to do God's will in our life like she did. We become more like christ when we let Mary be our spiritual mother. Mama mary is awesome 💙
To refer to Mary as virgini and mother is to point out the central teaching of the Church, that Jesus is God incarnate. The word made flesh and dwelling among us.
I feel Dallas takes in everything he can to gain knowledge but then uses the Spirit to decide how the show will go. I think the team is doing a great job! Shame on those that don’t support the process! Support it or not, but leave it alone if you can’t see the good this show is doing! I love it! ❤️
Kay VanderVeen
Dallas should be going on God's Word ALONE. Without compromise. The Chosen series is just that: a man made show. People should be fully immersed in God's Word not The Chosen series. Your idolatry is leading you to compromise: "Shame on those who don't support the process"? How "of the world" of you. Shamefully of the world. There is much error in what Dallas has done here: New Believers in Christ may become confused. Period. I'll leave it to you, to try and figure out how. Pray in Jesus Name for you to see it.
Dallas Jenkins
I am defending God's Word above the series and against the "round table" discussion which you chose to do with a Catholic priest. Roman Catholicism is not of the God of the Bible. It is a heretical religion whose doctrine is unbiblical. It is a works based salvation.
"We are saved by grace through faith in Saviour Lord Jesus Christ; lest no man boast." Ephesians 2: 8-9
New Believers in Christ may become confused and think: Catholicism is of the Judeo-Christian origin, which it is not. Catholicism preaches a different gospel. They know a different Jesus.
Jesus said: "Many will come in My Name, do not believe them."
"In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:1 The WORD is Christ. No compromise. None.
Compromise comes in ALL forms.
"And no wonder, even Satan comes disguised as an angel of light."
2 Corinthians 11:14
@@gracefaithsaved Can you quote the parts of the Catechism that shows a different gospel? If you are going to be critical, consider if you know from the source what it actually teaches. Dallas is merely being fair in hearing what the Catholic Church teaches. As for the Bible, the Catholic Church gave you the Bible in canonized form. I learned that first in a Protestant institution before I was led by the Lord to the Catholic Church. Try around paragraph 1980 on what the CC actually teaches on salvation.
Jason Miller
I am not religious.
I follow Jesus.
I read His Word.
And His Word Alone.
Catholicism is a work based salvation doctrine.
It is a different gospel.
Stop trying to sell your false heretical doctrine. I will not quote the catechism because it is heresy.
But I will quote Ephesians 2:8-9
"We are saved by GRACE through FAITH in Christ; lest no man should boast."
I have many religious lost in my life.
I pray for them.
They are spiritually bankrupt because of heretical doctrine. Catholicism is a
CULT.
I pray that you are saved out of it just as I pray for my dear ones.
Religion is a curse from Satan.
Do not be deceived.

great conversation. As soon as you asked it and Father Guffey said "great question" I loved that. Something about these conversations being had, and talked about openly, and without shame makes me very happy. A Catholic and an Evangelical have often throughout history, not been able to sit at the same table without arguing. Thank you. God bless
The Wedding at Cana is the proof that when the Theotokos brings a request of others before The Lord, He is quick to listen and her entreaty on their behalf is powerful.
I’m a devoted practicing Catholic and this is absolutely beautiful! Thank you 🙏
Oh I love this conversation. So much respect for each other’s understandings of the Savior. I learned a lot. I absolutely love the portrayal of Mary and her relationship with her son Jesus. I never understood until now how Jesus ultimately obeyed his Mother thus following the commandments of His Father. She asked and He did. Thank you!
I am Catholic. We have watched the series twice. Once with our kids. It is stunningly done.
God chose her to be his mother!!!!!! She's respected and chosen by God already. doesn't get better than that.we respect her and love her for for our benefit.
A very beautiful presentation of Mama Mary's intercession. Thank you so much for this!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thank you, Dallas, that you care about such things.💕 For me it's important. 🙌
To Jesus through Mary, yes, that’s it. We look to her humility, her obedience, her servitude, her role as mother, and spouse to the Holy Spirit and most beautiful child of The Father
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Spouse to the Holy Spirit? The church is the bride of Christ. Mary is not married to the holy spirit.
natalie hidalgo yes the catholic Church is the bride of Christ Jesus.
This series not only portrayed Jesus and his disciples in an amazing but also the Blessed Virgin Mary. They didn't just sideline her as unimportant but portrayed her and her role perfectly! Ad Iesum per Mariam
Get real! If a virgin gives birth, she is no longer a virgin! And Joseph and Mary had a bunch of kids together! Mary and me have about two things not in common. She gave birth to Jesus Christ. But we both worship Jesus Christ as our Lord and King and God! She has been in Heaven quite a while, I'm still on this earth. But we are both children of God!
@@SoniaJbrt Your hatred for the mother of God is showing. A virgin is one who has not had sexual intercourse with someone so even though she gave birth to Christ, she remained a virgin. And no, her and Joseph had no other children. If she did, Jesus would have given his mother to his supposed siblings when he was on the cross instead of giving her to his beloved disciple.
Joseph never had sex with Mary. How could he? To go in where the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, true God came out from? Are you insane? If they call the land where Jesus walked holy, how much more holy is the body of Mary for holding in GOD himself.
You are sinner as I am. Mary was, is and always will be without sin and full of grace.
Yah’ Ren Mary is sinless???? There is NO ONE good but God.
@@Jus4kiks Yes Mary is, was and always will be sinless. How is that hard for you to comprehend? Is such thing impossible to God? Adam and Eve were made sinless as well until after they sinned.
You don't think God would save the ONE human woman that would bear God himself, the holiest of holies from the stain of sin? Even the Ark of the Covenant had to be made of pure gold (emphasis on pure) to hold within the tablets of the commandments, manna and the priest staff.
How much more pure would the human that holds God himself, the law himself, the bread of himself, the king priest himself have to be.
Yah’ Ren Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, everyone including them have sinned. Only one who has not sinned is Jesus Christ - hence his death, his holiness being payment for our sins. Unless I missed something in the Bible I don’t see where is says Mary was sinless, I see other scriptures about only God being sinless. Do you have scriptures that mention it? Also in your religion does Mary not have to go through Jesus to be saved, even though the Bible says ‘no man comes to the Father but by him’? If not can you tell me scriptures.
I mean no ill will, just learning as everyone is. I believe Mary is blessed to be the mother of Jesus, but is nothing like God, she was human.
My favorite episode!!! The look Mary gives Jesus when she says “please,” is what I picture when I ask her to intercede for me. ❤️
Hi. I’m just a simpleton trying to understand the Catholic beliefs not an argument. My family is Catholic, I’m not. Where in the Bible does it say that Mary intercedes for us?
Emily Fae I’m just a simpleton too! Lol Jesus says to pray for one another. We believe the body of Christ is one body, not divided by those on earth and those in heaven. We choose to turn to Mary as we know from scripture that prayers from the righteous are more effective. So you may ask your friends at church to intercede and pray for you, I do too. However, I also ask my friends and mother in heaven to pray for me. We are all baptized in one spirit. we know all things are thanks to God even if others prayed for us. All Glory and praise is given to God.
UA-cam Viewer Thanks, that’s probably the best way someone has explained it to me. Is that also why y’all pray to different saints?
Emily Fae that’s kind of you to say! I feel like I’m not always the best at explaining things!
Yes, that’s exactly why we pray to saints... the prayers are not prayers of worship and praise, but requests for them to pray for us.
I heard the following explanations and thought they were great (I hope I don’t butcher how they were originally said)... say I want to borrow my dad’s car, I ask him, but also ask my mother to ask him for me. She tends to be more persuasive. The ultimate decision and power is his.
Another example: of one of your kids wants a toy. They ask for it... but isn’t it harder to say no when their sibling also asks on their behalf? It shows love and unity.
@Karl Jansen dead?? I respectfully disagree. My God is the God of the living... we have eternal life. Revelation shows us the saints offering prayers. John 3:16 tells us we will have ETERNAL life... Moses and Elijah (although Elijah was assumed into heaven) appeared to Jesus. The good thief was told he would be with Jesus that day in paradise... I could go on, but I think you get my point.
God bless!
God Bless you Dallas! I am Catholic and I love the way you acknowledge and respect the Love we have for Virgen Mary, mother of Jesus.🌹
“Anyone who has the opportunity to look closely at the icons of the Eastern Church which depict the Mother of God will notice something very striking. In the expressions on the faces of Mary and of her divine Son, in the gestures that are so subtly depicted, there is a moving quality that is hard to define. The Christians of Russia had a name for this quality: they called it “umileniye,” a word which can be translated “tender, loving kindness.”
I love how episode in Cana really showed the real theology behind our belowed Mother. She is percieved still as a human and she needs to ask Jesus for help. She doesn't preform miracles for us. But on our behalf she can ask her Son to make our prayers come true.
If Mary is good enough for Jesus, she’s good enough for me 💖
As a small child, we were taught to have a devotion to Mary ... when I lost my earthly mother, she is someone I reflected upon and felt by my side - helping all the time, then when I had my own kids, I asked for her intercession ... and always felt comforted, and now ...well ...I just know for certain she goes to Jesus for me and my family all the time. The Chosen did an excellent job conveying how we honor her. Thank you for taking the time and effort to get it right. The Rosary is a beautiful prayer - especially for mothers. Thank you for mentioning it.
Hail Mary In Aramaic:
"Shlama ilokh Meriam, neethan 'ama, Maran immokh, bourakhta binsha, purquele beret kasa deeyoukh. Mart Maryam, yimid Allaha, m-salle badallan, akhnie h-uttaya, dahow shethan mouthan. Amen."
WOW 😮 WOW 😮 THANK YOU SO MUCH I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT IS “MARY” in Aramaic???
SO it’s MERIAM!!!!!!???????
I'm Catholic, and am VERY thankful to Dallas Jenkins for The Chosen! He handles relationships well, and particularly the relationship of Mary to her Son. The whole show is amazing, and helps illuminate my reading of Scripture.
As a devout Catholic, I absolutely love how Our Blessed Mother is portrayed 🌹🙏. Really well done and theologically correct and I appreciate that .Praise God for this labor of Love that brings Honor and Blessing to HIM ❤️
Think of it like this: you are going to dinner at your partner’s house and meeting their parents for the first time. When you get to know their parents better, you get to know your partner better. It’s the same with Mary - when you get to know Mary better, you get to know Jesus better.
Another way to describe Mary is to compare her to the sun and moon. The sun produces its own light, and God produces His own light. If God is the sun, then Mary is the moon, because the moon doesn’t produce its own light, but reflects the light of the sun, as Mary doesn’t produce her own light, but she reflects God’s light and love.
Also, my own mom is most definitely not God, and I don’t worship her, but I respect her and ask her for help a lot and she wants to point me to God. It’s the same with Mary as our spiritual mother. Mary’s not the one with the power, as she was not the one who changed the water into wine, but she took it to her Son so He could do that.
No, knowing mary better won't help. The Father sent Jesus, get to know Him better. Does the scripture say if mary knocks at the door?
Mary represent all of humanity, reaching out for Jesus to help. Knowing that a human woman is interacting with Jesus and he listens and reacts, let's us know God is approachable, for any issue. So YES, "knowing" Mary does help illuminate the Gospel for many.
One mary yet many apostles and teachers yet mary who shared no Gospel in scripture is elevated? She is blessed but trying to make it stick doesn't work. Who is my mother and brothers, blessed rather are those who do the will of My Father... Interesting how every time she is pointed to, Jesus redirects from her onto His followers so point one another to Jesus and pray for one another.
@@Captain_Of_A_Starship Are you implying Mary was not a follower of Christ? She was His very first follower!
@@Xerxes2005 What I am implying is that the religious practices surrounding Mary are incorrect and even worse may fall into both idol worship and attempting communication with humans who have already passed from this life.
It's not even implied by Jesus and the apostles never expressed this belief in their writings.
The stories of apparitions bare similarities to ufo encounters and ufo encounters often present demonic deceptions usually aimed right at Jesus.
I am a catholic and specially devoted to Mary since I've been raised that way (very common in Mexico) and I can't imagine anything different in these scenes they're mentioning. The cut to her face and her tender words is beautifully made and I thank The Lord for giving you the inspiration for this. Lovely.
There’s so many people who don’t feel the way that we as Catholics do about Mother Mary. She always points the way to Christ Jesus.
she's the personification of the ark of the covenant.
Mary, yes, points to Jesus. Catholics wrongly worship Mary. Mary is free of this guilt, Catholics are not. It's not the way.
ghostheory which Catholic person told you that Catholics worship Mary?
@@danakarloz5845 Told me, no, I was raised Catholic. We prayed to Mary, we request things of Mary. I went again as an adult 20 years later recently, same thing. There's even a picture of Mary over the tabernacle, and they wanted us to pray to her.
As a child, I asked our priest if we should read The Bible, and he said you can't but you don't have to.
Also, this current Pope has been quoted as saying, "we're all children of God", which is also NOT in The Bible. Some people are simply Children of the World, and have hardened hearts.
Basically, now that I've read The Bible, so many things I was told as a Catholic are fully against what The Bible says. The King James version is the worst translation. Not at all what the Hebrew says, now that I can read Hebrew.
The Catholic church is for God's plan of harboring the false prophet. That's its role in God's plan. For even the fallen angels ultimately carry out His plan.
I'm Eastern Orthodox and we venerate saint Mary as the Theotokos (Mother of God) and even though this show is made by an Evangelist, he portrayed saint Mary almost perfectly. What I miss in this conversation with these Catholic priest, is the fact that Jesus did His first public miracle at the request of saint Mary (even after He says, it isn't His time). This is the reason we also pray, please note, praying is not the same as worshipping, we pray to her for her prayers because she of all creation is the closest to her Son and enjoys a exalted status. But one thing is sure, we must do whatever He says, like saint Mary says.
Everyone on this comment section spouting negativity at different denominations and quoting scripture to defend their place... it feels like you haven't exactly gotten the message of that scene between nicomedus and shmuel. You are limiting God's word to your imperfect human understandings. None of us know if we're doing everything right. If we're understanding the mystery of God's love and law perfectly, but we try to with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Part of this process, this journey of understanding, is humility and respect for other people's journeys as well. It's best to keep your eyes, hearts, and souls open to the Spirit... lest you be like the Pharisees so stuck in your limited imperfect rules and traditions. Love your neighbors, people. Peace to all. ✌🏻
It's impossible for us not to know when we're following the bible correctly. He did say he will guide the church with the spirit of the truth. The Pharisees are who we should strive not to be because they are hypocrites. Not because of their traditions since we as Christians have our own traditions 1 Cor 11:2 "Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you."
I am glad I saw this today. Dallas is seeking to understand and help others understand the Catholic understanding of Mary as one who always points to Jesus as the way. Yesterday I commented on another round table and I don’t typically speak out strongly in what may have been negative but this really was placed in my cue today even though it came out 3 years ago.
I loved this interview ! Just one thing...This priest puzzled me when he said of Mary and Catholics that “piety got out of control”. He seems almost timid and apologetic about the Catholic Church’s high respect for Our Lady as expressed by practicing Catholics .
As a Catholic with many wonderful Protestant friends, I constantly feel this timidity about my faith when it comes to things like that and I really shouldn’t. That is on me. We should not reactively shy away from what is a genuine misunderstanding of Mary and an aversion to her that comes from the misguided notion that Catholics worship her. We should not be in a hurry to pretend she is a small deal to prove we don’t worship her. I don’t worship my own birth mother but I certainly honor her and respect her. I express it too. Jesus loved his mother ! We should too. And she WAS special.Chosen by God the Father to serve a special mission and endowed with special graces. Mary IS a big deal. It does not mean she is equal to Jesus. She never could be and she herself says this. She leads us TO him. So did the apostles. So did Mary Magdalene.
The piety and love Catholics have for Mary is not in competition with the WORSHIP, love and adoration we have for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ .
I grew up loving Mary and will raise my children to as well. After falling away from my faith after college- she and only she brought me back to Jesus .She is everybody’s mother. Jesus gave her to us from the cross.
And I LOVE this show. I’ve donated money to pay it forward and I am spreading the word . What a blessing to have such an amazing show. It’s going to bring Christians of all denominations together. GodBless
Agree, I noticed that too. I was protestant and became Catholic two years ago, the Church always was correct in their official teaching about Mary, now, popular piety without formation could have taken Mary out of context, but this was always condemned by the Church. It bothers me when I see timid and apologetic Catholics, there is no need for that.
On note of please don't get offended..just quoting few things..and ofcourse you are free to ignore..Also Let bible alone talk to anyone..because when we stand in the judgement day God is not going to ask which church we went to.. only thing that will matter is.."Are we saved and born again..because We need to be saved..as Per John 3: 16..
Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
1 Timothy 2: 5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.."
Exodus 20:4-6 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods.
Isaiah 42:8 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.
Luke 1:47 - and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior(Mary was human completely like us and needed salvation like we do)
Matthew 6: 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. ... In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Regarding Praying to dead: Anyone other than Jesus
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.
John 14:6 (Jesus Alone is intercessor)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Hebrews 9:27 (if only all saints and mary where not human)
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment...
Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
@@pearllance2939 Tell me where in the Bible say "Bible or Scriptura alone" or "by faith alone"?
Pearl Lance ... thank you for being charitable in your question. I’ve been hounded in these comments for something I posted and I’m aghast at the way at which we were spoken to/about.
Just a few points that are insufficient in explaining anything! I’d need to sit down with a coffee and talk out some of your questions! But here’s a really brief explanation:
1) We agree. It is by grace through faith and works that we are saved.
2) We agree with the bible that there is one mediator between us and God and that is Jesus Christ. Mary is an intercessor. Just as Moses was for his people, etc. They are different terms and different roles. Our temporal sins affect God eternally. Jesus is God, only God and God’s sinless perfection could atone eternally for us. But Jesus calls us to redemptively suffer for others. He includes us in His work (Col 1:24).... and this is where you, me and Mary and the saints come in. Have a look at something called “redemptive suffering”
3) Praying means asking. In old English they would use the word more widely than we do today. For example in Shakespeare you might hear “pray tell” which means please explain. I ask people to pray for me all the time. I ask people questions everyday! It’s one aspect of worship. Just like I love my mum and I love God. God is due the best of my love, but I also have love for others in my life. Prayer is an aspect of worship due to God.... we believe that right worship of God involves sacrifice and He is the only person we sacrifice to (extended convo here on the Eucharist).
4) Necromancy is different from praying to saints. There’s whole videos on this if you just do a YT search of “Catholic Answers praying to the dead”... you should find a more extensive explanation. As Catholics we believe that we are all united in the body of Christ. The bible says that death does not separate us from the body. We see the saints in heaven taking prayers to God. The prayers of the righteous are powerful. Worth a little research because if I’m right, you’re missing out on so much support from heaven!
5) Yes, the commandment says we must not be idolatrous and must not worship graven images. God also commands Moses to make two angel statues on the Ark of the Covenant a couple of chapters later. Why is that? If a statue of Mary or Jesus is sinful then so is The Chosen because it is a graven image! So there’s more to this story than meets the eye!
Pearl Lance .... And finally, just something to ponder. Luther, Calvin and Zwingli all believed in the perpetual virginity of Mary. They all believed in the Eucharist (ie the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist)... they just disagreed on how the Eucharist became the Eucharist.
Anyway, thank you again. You’re beautiful. If you want to know why it is we believe these things and for 2000 years most of the world has, just do a little YT search on Catholic Answers. All of them are ex-Protestant pastors and ministers. There’s also The Coming Home Network on YT... where you can hear testimonies of hundreds of protestant pastors and ministers who converted to Catholicism. Each testimony is about an hour long. So you can really delve into their logic. They all held similar objections to you.
God bless you abundantly. Thank you again for your charity and patience.
As a devout Catholic, I thank you for doing such a beautiful job on portraying Mary with such grace. She always points us to our saviour, Jesus Christ
Praying for Dallas conversion 🙏
A quote from St Augustine "I don't care to inquire why they cannot believe an earthly body can be in heaven, while the whole earth is suspended on nothing"
Hi all. As a Catholic Charismatic myself and I think I speak for most Catholics when I say that when we pray to Mary we pray to her to intercede on our behalf to her son Jesus after all what good Son would refuse his Mother anything that she would ask for And you My friends portrayed Mary beautifully when Jesus granted Mary her request at the wedding Just watching each and every episode I felt drawn into your family filled with love for each other You are all so filled with the Holy Spirit I Love you guys. I'm here in Johannesburg S A giving you a gentle push for season 2 can you feel it
Only Jesús can intercede between God and you
1Tim 2:5: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
Why ask Mary to pass your message if you can ask directly Jesus and have a beautiful relationship with Him :) When I was Catholic I definitely spent too much time talking to Mary instead of my Father. Once I changed it, the Holy Spirit filled my life like never before.
God bless

His Word remains the same for eternity. It is the men, led by the devil, who twist the words of scripture to suit their evil ways.

@@maryfuentes9277 If it were true, that only Jesus can intercede for us, no one should pray for another person, which is obviously nonsense. Btw, also the saints in heaven intercede for us - read Revelation 6:9-11: "When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[e] were killed just as they had been."
The part I love the most with Mary is in the second season where Jesus walks up to the Disciples arguing around the fire after He spent the day ministering to the people. He is so exhausted and about to fall and she had just been talking about how He is grown and she does not have the chance to help Him as she did when he was younger. When he comes up and she follows Him into the tent and bathes him with the cool water...Oh! That scene made me cry!..The love between mother and son is a beautiful thing. I have a son with severe PTSD and have done all I can to help him and have now put him entirely in God's hands.
Thanks to the show, I’ve come to appreciate her more. I find myself seeing her through the eyes of the disciples. How they come to love her as their own mom.
This creation of The Chosen really touches my heart and have my Faith became stronger from before. As I have watched all the episodes, my tears have fallen as my heart was rejoiced by what i have been watching. I wish a success to all the creator of the Chosen. May God guide you with your Faith and Advocate. Can i ask a favor? How can i have a #TheChosenTShirt?
Chan The_Flash welcome Brother
Praying to Mary for intercession is the same as asking a friend to pray for a any person or situation. Mary always directs her children to Jesus. He is the one who answers prayer. Mary is to be honored if only because of the unique role that she was asked to fill. Jesus’s Mother is our Mother too! Thank you, Jesus!
Except it’s not the same. She is a dead women.
No one in Heaven is dead..
@Janet Beans these people whom you preach will NEVER get that.. Bcoz they trash their own mothers as soon as she gives them birth.. They use their mothers as an instrument to give birth and then trash their mothers..They think Jesus is like them, as soon as He was born He trashed His mother. No matter how much you try to explain they will NOT get it because they have never loved their own mother, how will they love or honor the Lord"s? All we can do is pray for these strayed children of God.
Janet Beans She was a mere mortal. She died and her body has decayed. Mary had no power of her own to rise again. And by your own comment you are basically admitting she is not unique. All those who died believing in Christ are in Heaven in spirit. But they have no power to effect anything on Earth. She cannot hear your prayers or answer them. She is not omnipresent or omnipotent.
Julie J Matt 12:48 “Who is my mother...” When talking about the kingdom of Heaven, Jesus didn’t even put Mary in any authority above anyone else.
Thank you for your kind consideration of Catholic reverence for Mary...it is so sweet to see you capture her love. Bless you
Thank you so much for this depiction of Mary, and for actively having this conversation. This show is so unifying it's amazing.
This portrayal of Mary, the Mother, and our Lord, the Son is so beautiful! Well done!
Hey folks, before getting worked up about Roman Catholic ideologies one way or another... remember that God is our Judge. There are surely many things ALL sects of Christianity get wrong, but it is not our job to decide who has which parts incorrect. We must each worship with the Holy Spirit as our guide (“spirit and truth” if you recall from the end of ep. 8!). The beautiful thing is that regardless of what denomination we subscribe to, so long as we accept Him as our Savior (caveat: there’s a lot that goes with that), Jesus removes the stain of any of our misconceptions when we enter God’s Courts at the end of our days. If you consider a certain group to be truly in error, pray for them first and foremost. Ask God for discernment and revelation not just to those other people but to yourself as well. And then give it to God and move forward in love.
Shalom to all!
Elizabeth Ashley
We must not compromise God's WORD for any denomination. It is either God's Word or it isn't. It is either sound biblical doctrine or it isn't. Ecumenical worship (the "acceptance" of other denominational beliefs) and compromise is not of God. The Jesus of the Bible is the one true Jesus. Period. You either follow God's Word ALONE or you don't. Without. Compromise. Having a round table discussion with a Roman Catholic priest is compromise and can be very "confusing" for new believers. No compromise. No confusion. God is VERY clear about this in His Word. And Jesus ALWAYS corrected unsound doctrine. Remember the Samaritan woman at the well? Before He moved forward in discussion with her, He corrected her doctrinal error. Not to mention how He rebuked the religious leaders with their doctrinal error. Move forward in Christ. Much love in Christ🌿✝️🌿

Grace Faith SAVED
Hi! Believe it or not, I actually agree with you on numerous (though admittedly not all) things you have written in various comments on this video.
One of your greatest concerns is to avoid creating confusion for new believers, which is commendable and understandable. I respectfully caution you that the manner in which you are responding here unfortunately only serves to add to the cacophony. You point out perceived errors to others with little explanation and without offering any helpful corrections other than “go to the Bible.” A new believer - or even a believer since birth not well-versed in Scripture for whatever reason - would be at a loss to know where to begin searching for answers within the thousands of words in the Bible. If you wish to be a teacher, then please teach in whole and not in part. Your message will have much more reach and effect that way.
God bless you!
Lord Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Yes for us (Catholic) we are one big “Family”. Jesus on the cross said “behold thy mother” that’s why she is our mother as well.
no read the book of John again, he was telling John to behold his mother not us, he was passing her onto John so she would now see John as a son and John see Mary as a mother so she could let go and see Jesus as her Lord and Saviour not her son anymore cos he was about to return to his Father and become the Saviour of all mankind, Mary is just like us a sinner in need of a Saviour, his is why she said to Elizabeth I rejoice in God my Saviour. John was the only desciple there so it makes sense Jesus would do that plus he was known as the desciple that Jesus loved probably cos he waas teh youngest.
Actually, The Lord was finally renouncing as her earthly son, and by the love he had for her, he appointed John to look after her.
He was talking to John who was also at the foot of the cross I believe. He was to take care of her, and responsibility of her in Jesus' stead.
Petra Sant - You are absolutely right.. And those who do not agree, and have commented out of their ignorance, do you even know Jewish culture? Do you know that a son would not hand over his mother to another man? Was John the ONLY one standing at the foot of the Cross? Did you conveniently forget the other women including Mary Magdalene? The right thing according to His Jewish culture would be to give His Mother to the next sibling, IF HE HAD ANY, that is... HE DID NOT. HE was the ONLY Son of Mary. Next, since no other sibling, the right thing to do was to hand Her over to a woman, NOT A MAN. Also note, He did not say, my beloved disciple John, here is your mother.. He said, son here is your mother and mother here is your son.. Meaning - hereby My Mother, I give you all my children as yours.. From now you are not only My Mother but of all who belong to Me. Dear Christians, please meditate on the Word of God, instead of reading it.. Each Word in the Scripture holds a treasure of Divine Wisdom.. Chew on each Word for days, weeks.. Know the culture of Jews of that time.. Know the Scripture through its author, the Holy Spirit and you will be amazed of how little the men know about the true teaching and yet dare to argue and blaspheme as if they wrote the Scripture and know what it means.
@@Timelesshero1711 Renouncing?? So God would give instructions/commandments to men that He Himself would not follow?? Goodness, how can a Christian say this? Please go and know for yourself who God is and then talk.
Dallas I love your focus on really wanting to get things right and consulting the experts.
I love Chosen ! .... God bless everyone associated with it....
I acknowledge the fact that it is near Impossible to portray such a story with 100 percent accuracy . So far , you guys are doing a pretty good job (i just completed watching the 6th episode )
In this episode , I was kind of taken back when I saw that the conversation between Jesus and Mary continued even after he told that his time hasn't come ....... While reading the Bible ....that (absence of conversation) was kinda important to me . Since , it showed how Mary had faith in Jesus and that he would do it even though he wasn't supposed to, at that time ! ..... I also imagined that those scene would be left to the acting prowess of the actors , to convey the message without speaking of it !..
This is one of the many Biblical basis for me in believing in her mediation as a Catholic . Jesus honors his mother ! more than anyone else can and he heeds to her requests .
God made Mary perfect enough to carry the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity ....she is different from the rest .
All that aside , again , I enjoy the series and your directorial brilliance in connecting those two shots were well crafted but more importantly, I am very much relieved with the fact that you had pictured something beautiful in your mind and was trying your best not to give the wrong message or worst....bash Mary every chance you get , as many choose to ! ........... Waiting for season 2 .....God bless !
Luke 1:46-47 ~ And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
1 Timothy 2:5 ~ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
And...?
People worship Mary because of what is written in luke 1:28. But what proverbs 3:5 said do not lean to your understanding but trust the Lord. People forgot to ask God the meaning of the passage and what perspectives they should look at. The angels went to her and said "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." I saw people relate this with 'hail! Mary'. The Lord highly favored the people who surrender his/her life to him, seek his face and have a fellowship with him through the power manifestation of the Holy spirit. Perhaps people would defend by saying that she's the only women that is favored by the Lord or she the one who haven't commit original sin. Look if she the only woman that's favored by the Lord, what about Sarah, prophetess Deborah from judges, or Esther. If Mary doesn't commit original sin then that means she not human because according to the Catholic belief that original sin came from Adam and Eve from eating the forbidden fruit and it passes to different generations. Adam and eve are human so if Mary doesn't possess that sin then she not a descendants of Adam and Eve. The bible does not say about original sin, neither the angels or God praises Mary but rather find favour because of her obedience and humbleness to the Lord. Everyone sin including Mary. There are people who have favour from the Lord because they denied themselves and they accept themselves that they are dirty like Isaiah and accept God's mercy.
Adelyn Orata catholics don’t worship Mary.
This is a beautiful interview but we really should not fellowship with darkness. Look up the demon altar in the Pope Pius IV audience hall/ snake building in Rome. It will open your eyes to what the RCC really is. - a former Catholic, now born again.
What a wonderful, honest, humble interview! So refreshing to see Dallas searching so earnestly to do the right thing for God. You are working so hard! So wonderful for the priests to take the time to respond to the various episodes and questions. We are traditional Catholics from Maine who view every episode of the Chosen at least three times. If you read the abridged edition of the Mystical City of God by Mary of Agreda around page 300 you will find the birth of Jesus and be amazed at the event and first words Jesus says to Mary and Joseph. God spoke to Mary of Agreda and said, " I want you to spend time with my Mother and write down what she has to say. The Gospels are enough for salvation, but some need to know more details." It was like God was differentiating for people who need to know more about HIm. What a good teacher! Mary Does not go into labor during the birth of Jesus. We were not offended though during the nativity episode. There are four volumes in the Mystical City of God, but the abridged edition will be enough for many. We just purchased an outdoor screen and projector so we can view the Chosen with our friends.

When I hear that the Holy Trinity can not say no to Mary, you know she is extremely loved by them. I am learning she was extraordinary When Christ looks at her when she asks about the wine.. my heart falls for the love he shows to her, and that little look of 'ahhh, mother' he gives to her... that note that He, Christ.. the Son of God, can not refuse her request. I am told Catholics honor her, they do NOT worship her.
Hi museluvr!!!!
they worship her, they have a prayer called "hail mary" but no prayer called "hail jesus"
@@InitialPC Nahh, we don’t worship her at all. Our faith and worship is centered in Christ alone. “Hail Mary” in the context of scripture when the Archangel, Gabriel speaks to Mary and calls her “full of grace” (Lc 1,28) was a common form of greeting or salutation. It’s kind of like saying, “Hello!”. Hope that clarified some misconceptions :)
@@InitialPC ignoramus
We just love this program, it does fill in Jesus' humanity, sense of humor, and shows the wonders of his power. It often makes me cry to see how good God is.
Mary is our mother too. She will always point us to Jesus, her savior and ours
Catholics dont worship Mary but we give her the highest honor and veneration given to a saint and it called hyperdolia considering that she is the mother of Jesus... this episode in the Chosen is the best representation of Mary ever made on screen...Thank you Dallas and team !!!
The Chosen helps me in my daily rosary prayer.
one thing we have to becareful is that mary kinda becoming a idol , we can admire her and things but lets never forget that as believers we have direct access to jesus when we pray and seek him . so i loved how chosen showed each character . idols in our life is never good something i pray for myself and others
Father misrepresented the Church when he said, "Since Vatican II, the Church has tried to correct popular piety NOW." As if, before Vatican II, it was ok to worship Mary. That's false. The Church NEVER allowed anyone to worship Mary. Father should have clearly stated that.
Popular piety does have its excesses. But the Church has always tried to distinguish between the respectable and the frauds. Many liberal priests do not exhibit much reverence toward Marty. After Vatican II, some would have ceased almost all devotion. The problem was that many of these priests were in their theology less “catholic” than many Southern Baptists. Not unlike the faithless priests that Luther claimed to find in Rome during his pilgrimage there.
Exactly!
(Mat 23:9) And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Authentic Catholic / Católico Auténtico You are either ignorant of what Rome teaches about Mary, or deceitful like Rome .
Howard Bigg Uh oh, someone been reading their Bible without the Roman editors approval. I’m still studying my Bible to find any references to Rome as the name of the True Church.
Aww..thank you! You brought me to tears. As a Catholic I loved how you showed Jesus's love for his mother and vice versa. Jesus loved his mother so much that we too love her. People do forget that she was a mother and she saw he son suffer and die for the humanity of the world. We did not deserve that sacrifice that they both gave.
It’s nice to see a brother in Christ seeking to understand Catholic theology instead of condemning us.
The Chosen shines on the ecumenical virtues of Christianity. Every aspect is thought about and researched so well which brings so many people from different denominations of faith together as they identify themselves in so many characters in so many situations. The show is alive and living.
Def, when praying the rosary and meditating on the mysteries of Jesus's life, these images of the wedding and jesus lost, are really present. For the sorrowful misteries, the movie The Passion makes you really feel it! Cant wait for more mysteries to be present in the Chosen.
Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus loves and respects and honors Mary as his mother. Catholics follows the example of Jesus therefore it follows that all followers of Jesus must also love and respect and honor Mary as the mother of Jesus.
The Bible records Mary as saying: "All generations shall call me blessed." Shall we hate or ignore her, because we think that others have loved her too much? How many generations? ALL. What shall we call her? BLESSED, favoured by God, full of grace, the one upon whom our whole salvation depended.
Blessed Mary literally carried the God-man in her womb for 9 months, she & Joseph raised Him from infancy, taught Him to eat and walk and speak and think and pray, through all the "Hidden Years". She suffered alongside Him, and was there at the Cross, and rejoiced when He rose again.
"All generations shall call me blessed."
We're not hating or igorning her, Binks- have you seen the show?
She didnt die for your sins, or anyones, All generations shall call me blessed , because literally she's blessed God chose her, GOD CHOSE HER, all glory be to God and not to her, theres difference between Blessed as like im blessed and Blessed as if worthy to be exalted
Binks Webelf No, our salvation depends on Jesus, NOT Mary
"the one upon whom our whole salvation depended" - you see, that is blasphemy. Our salvation does not depend at all on Mary. God could have sprung Jesus up out of a rock if He wanted to. She was an instrument, that is all. Our salvation depended solely upon Jesus.
She is indeed blessed. But Jesus is our savior we should call him Holy not to Mother Mary kasi same lang po natin sya tao. But di din natin makakaila na malaki ang role ni Mother Mary sa pag dating ng Messiah. 😇
I cannot stop watching! It is spectacular, beautiful, inspiring! Dallas, please come home! 💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
I love, love, love how Mary is portrayed in The Chosen.
