Hi Dallas. I’m an Australian Lutheran Pastor and we are about to show The Chosen to a group of young men who have drug and alcohol and mental health issues. They are also semi-literate and struggle with reading the bible. These guys have no idea of history, context and never heard of Jesus. I can see Christ in your wonderful, quality work. Good work, thank you and God bless you and keep you.

Dearest Dallas, "The Chosen may be the only Bible some humans are exposed to." I referred The Chosen to a fine gentleman who just didn't read the Bible. After watching The Chosen his love for Jesus was sparked and he is now attending weekly church Services! Keep up the great job! The Chosen is so awesome as are you, the cast, and the entire team! 👍❤️

I'm a member of the LDS Church, and I've been binge watching The Chosen over the last few weeks. I can't adequately put into words how deeply this show affects me. I cry every episode multiple times. Thank you so much for making this series, for bringing the gospels to life in such an engaging and meaningful way. Every character is so well written and likeable! Even some if the "bad guys" are given realistic and complex personalities that make them feel authentic. Because I have an autistic son, I especially love the character of Matthew, and I just want to hug him! Of course, Jesus himself is portrayed as everything one could want in the Savior who patiently loves his followers, and who teaches them with both wisdom and humor! I don't know if I could be comfortable in the presence of God if he wasn't a little bit of a tease. This show is groundbreaking. Thank you!

I am not part of the LDS church. I was raised as a Catholic. It doesn't matter to me who you had working on the show. The end result is something that is uniting people in a common way. Your portrayal of these real people is commendable. I appreciate the very human way each character has been shown

The interesting thing is every LDS person I’ve spoken to absolutely LOVE the Chosen. Draw your own conclusions

“The show is not a replacement for scripture.” ❤️ I’m glad to hear you say this, because many people are putting the show in that place (not your fault). Thanks for the show, pointing people to Jesus, the word, and the local church.

Dallas, words matter but actions speak louder than words. One only has to watch The Chosen to understand what is in your heart. Sholom

I am an active LDS member. My husband and I absolutely love The Chosen. I have not heard any of those comments that Dallas is defending or commenting about. We love the same Jesus Christ and all of the characters in the Chosen. It is unfortunate that people from all denominations just live one another because of our differences. We are looking forward to the 4th season and we appreciate all the work that has been put into making it available for the world to enjoy. ❤

Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify all the information being posted about about you and the show. On a more positive note, The Chosen helped bring my husband back to Jesus and for that it will always hold a spot in my heart. Thank you for all you and everyone who works on the show do. Praying for all of you. And can't wait for season three!💓

I love your comment about not knowing someone else's heart and mind. I am Catholic. I have only one good Catholic friend. My other good friends are non-denominational Christians, LDS, Episcopal, or Lutheran. I married a Methodist who went to 16 years of Catholic school. Taking the time to talk to others respectfully has been fruitful for all of us. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing believers.

Thank you, Dallas for consistently role modeling how a true Christian behaves! You are doing God's work in more ways than one. "Tribalism" is indeed the biggest problem in the Christian world. Not the different doctrines, beliefs or interpretations of scripture, but the need to exclude others from the fold because we think our doctrines, beliefs or interpretations are superior and exclusive. If Christians feel a need to "stand against" something, how about standing against the growing tide of evil, apathy and suffering in the world? Its impossible to believe in a different Jesus than someone else because there is only one and He exists independent of any attempts to define Him. Our job is to follow Him and try to be like Him, not gate-keep who can and cannot be a part of His fold.

Mr. Jenkins, I have listened to this entire video and agree with much of what you say. I am a huge fan of The Chosen and will continue to buy and watch this series as long as you all keep making it. I have been searching for God all my years of living and I have come to the conclusion that he has also been looking for me too. I am a believer of Christ 100% and always will be. God did NOT say I'm giving Hollie the job to judge people therefore I can move on. I am an imperfect human and do NOT judge anyone for any reason and stay in my own lane and continue to work on myself. I hope others do as well. God bless everyone and I pray he leads us all far away from our imperfections and bring us closer to him.

I can't imagine how hard it must be to live in a "fish bowl", where your every word and action is scrutinized. Your attempt to clarify past statements appears as an act of humility to me and I for one appreciate this. Is there really any Believer alive that has never acted in a way, or spoke in a way that today they'd not regret? I think not. God help us take our eyes off others, stop judging, and focus on Jesus Christ and loving and serving Him and reflecting His image to others. Thank you for bringing us The Chosen and shining a light towards the only One that can save and rescue us and provide perfect peace and joy. Looking forward to Season 3.

I hope you don’t feel the weight of having to say just the right thing every time. What a hard thing to carry. Be encouraged.

I find this message to actually be really sincere. I didn't even know it was an issue. Respect for clarifying. Thank you. Also, I always follow the guidance from Matthew 7:16 - "You will know them by their fruits." There is no logical explanation for The Chosen's inspiration than spiritually inspired. You clearly were led to create this show. As an LDS person myself, I never thought anything else, and I have always been taught that this applies to all people even outside the walls of the church. I also understand that our community can sometimes be a bit insular and has created bad blood with other denominations in the past by going around and telling people their faith is wrong or incomplete, and to follow us as the "only 100% true church." I think the church has kind of realized that maybe this 1800s enlightenment preaching style is not great for trying to become a unified body of people under our faith in Christ. I am really happy you posted this because it shows a fair representation of people's faith. I see myself as a Christian, and I 100% believe that you and your team behind this show were divinely inspired to create it, and I think it serves as a great lesson and reminder for LDS people of how God can work through people that are not LDS as well. I actually believe that God purposefully worked through you, as someone who is not part of the LDS community, because this lesson is very important for people in our church. Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU! Everyone I know is so inspired by you.

I am LDS and love The Chosen. Everything it is. Not only the content, actors, staff, etc but also that it's being distributed around the world at no cost to viewers to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a time when so many are turning to other things trying to find happiness & fulfillment. So grateful for Dallas's attitude and view on different religions and the Bible. Thanks for clarifying and not throwing LDS people in general under the bus as so many are quick to do. I love the level of respect for different points of view while holding solid to the Gospel foundation. I will continue to donate to the production & distribution to help further the work

Thank you, Dallas, for the beautiful depiction you and your team has created. I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for His atonement. The Chosen has helped me better connect with Him. I strive daily to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am grateful for others who do not share all of the same traditions or beliefs that I do, but who love Jesus, and strive to be more like Him. The only view that matters of whether I am a disciple and Christian is that of Jesus himself, and He will share that with me Himself one day.

I have always been a believer but my husband has not, I was watching The Chosen one day and he sat and watched the entire season 2 with me and when it was over asked when season 3 was going to be on.... THAT, is why what your doing in important,, I thank God for The Chosen and all those involved in the making,, you are all reaching so many that really NEED to hear ...

Dallas, The dialogue of the show is so perfect!!!!! The way The Savior is portrayed is exactly the way I have always envisioned Him. What a heart and what a message! I have never in my lifetime seen a better series. My family gets goosebumps and we shed tears of hope as we see these magnificent stories told in a fashion of beauty and truth.The Holy Spirit does testify of it to ones heart...We are an LDS family and we love The Messiah too! May God Bless you and all your efforts...

Dallas, Thank you for the clarity & pointing us all back to God’s word. We initially were drawn to Season 1 during the Covid Lockdown & were so impressed by the Biblical accuracy of THE CHOSEN that we watched the full season 10-times and began contributing to the crowd-funding of Season 2. We have since supported and were extras in both the Sermon on the Mount (Frozen-Chosen) and in the F5K as well. We are so grateful for the continued faithfulness you and your entire crew have demonstrated in season 3 and share THE CHOSEN daily & pray for its continued impact on people around the world.

"The show is not the end game..." I've heard this from Jerry Jenkins regarding the Left Behind book series as well. So important for everyone to remember-it is a step into exposing people to the character of Christ as revealed in the Bible. There is a disclaimer in the very first episode of the very first season. The Chosen is NOT a replacement for the Gospel, it's up to each of us to study scripture and have truth revealed too us by the Holy Spirit. For me personally, it has driven me deeper into the gospels and put flesh to the flawed people Jesus chose to surround Himself with. Thank you Dallas for your thoughtful statement.

Dallas I actually did watch the beginning of one of the “anti” chosen KZfaq videos. I was wanting to hear what the problems was. I very soon realised it was not worth a listen and switched channels! I only wanted to say after listening to your video today that I pray for “The Chosen”, cast, crew and all involved every day 🙏🏻 and that you will successfully continue this wonderful work to completion. You are doing a great job all of you so stay focused and keep going! (I don’t need to tell you whose work this is, all the “anti” stuff) I am Catholic and love the show and I am not into all this judging!!! Anyone who truly loves God knows He wants us to love each other…. God bless 🙏🏻❤️

I almost never binge watch any tv shows, but I have binge watch The Chosen many times and have rewatched season 3 three times so far. Also, I want to say that I often forget that Jesus in the series is really Johnathan Roummie (SIC). This series is so well written and so well acted. I am a 77 year old evangelical who was saved in 1968 and have read and studied my Bible daily with prayer daily for many, many years.

Dallas and The Chosen are truly inspired. Thank you for helping us all feel closer to Jesus, for making him and his followers seem more realistic, and helping us understand the context behind the stories. We love watching every episode with our family.

"Until we care more about what God thinks than what other people think we are never truly free."

I love Jesus Christ, and I'm always concerned at how He is portrayed in film so I was cautious in watching the Chosen, but I am sooooo happy with the spirit of this production! Thank you for putting this together and I say whatever denominations you work with to bring this forth, go for it!! As long as it continues to bring people closer to Christ, it is of God! And I love your loaves and fishes "logo"-- the idea that we bring our meager offering and He multiplies it into something amazing! The definition of this show!

I am not LDS, but even if this show was produced by LDS believers, I would still watch it. The care taken with the word and the production value merit everyone’s time to view the show.

You & the entire cast including all extras project such a positive spirit !!! May God bless each of you to continue to be so inspired in this monumental undertaking !!! Thank YOU ALL for your endless hours of endless study and humble prayer and earnest consultation in order to bring the Good News to so many around our wide world … especially at such a time as this in our world’s existence … What you have created and continue to create is a blessing in the lives of countless individuals everywhere !!! May you ALL be blessed to be able to continue throughout the years to realize the entire DREAM🙏🏼 It’s so disheartening when some choose to concentrate on splitting hairs when the MESSAGE is so obviously & easily all-inclusive. Jesus came first to the Jews …. … and then to all gentiles … … (everyone else) … even the Romans & Greeks … even the Philistines who would open their hearts and choose to listen … to any & all who would make the sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit who would then choose to follow Him and strive daily to keep His commandments … Jesus Christ is the one & only Savior for our entire world- past, present & future … How simply PRECIOUS & GLORIOUS !!! HALLELUJAH !!!

The show has really helped in reading my Bible and the visualization of everyone as real people 😍

I’m LDS, Christian, and LOVE this show. Thanks for what you do. It will positively influence people on this Earth for generations.

Hey Dallas, I'm a Latter-day Saint and I love your show. I know tons of other members of my church who love it too. I appreciate what you said. I've been on a journey of coming to see people individually as well. I've had negative interactions with people of other faiths and have unfortunately made blanket judgements about those faiths as a whole. Yet, I hate it when people do that about my domination, so what right do I have to do that to someone else? This is something I'm working on improving. Thanks for the show and all the work you're doing!

as a full gospel Christian, and a lifetime student of the Bible, I am amazed and moved how well you portray the fathers heart in the Chosen!

This Roman Catholic has really been enjoying the show. Keep doing what you are doing. I have so much respect for you and your work. It must be so difficult to create something in this world today because everyone will comment on it and everyone will overinterpret and social media gets very strange. Don't let the critiques get into your head and make you start second guessing yourself.

Hey, Dallas 🌸 Hope you're not being harassed. I represent the silent multitudes who feel you have been abundantly clear and transparent on this issue. Appreciate you and praying for you.

Thank you so much for all the hard work you and all the crew put into The Chosen. It is so awesome and so needed. You have such a humble, caring spirit about you! Stand firm!

Dear Dallas. I thank you for the enormous effort of giving us such a vivid representation of the Gospel with love and respect for the Word. Many people is motivated to read the Bible again because of the show. You have done it with a pure heart and great generosity. For the rest "we all fall short of the Glory of God ".♡

Dallas, thank you and I appreciate where you are coming from. I am a HUGE fan of The Chosen and recommend it to people all the time. I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 30 years. We have sometimes been nicknamed LDS or Mormon which is sad because it leaves out the most important part of our religion: Jesus Christ. He is our Master and Savior. That is why The Chosen has such a large following from members of my church. We are indeed Christian. It is not a mistake to label us as such. So rest assured. It is NOT a mistake to ever call us Christians. We are proud to be so labelled. I am not incorrectly speaking for an entire group of people. Our name and website and all of our resources are abundantly clear on this matter.

Other people have already echoed what I wanted to say. I have one other thing to add. The show is gaining in popularity. That means you are on the radar and the enemy will DO whatever he can do to stop what God anoints. The attacks are coming hard. So, I would ask anyone who reads this that if you love this show and these people then lift them up in prayer and be the coving for them. They are over the target and the enemy hates it. You have my prayers. God bless you and God continue to bless the chosen.

Wherever your faith takes you, however it shapes your life, I am just grateful to you for sharing it, and bringing souls to Christ through your creation of this incredible series. It is truly incredible, and has made a difference in my own life. I myself am LDS and still very much love all your messages because they are true. Your messages have always been shared in a loving and nonjudgmental way. Additionally, your humility is admirable and I don't mind being taught by you, because that is something I am working on myself. You're a very good Christian, and I support you and will gladly support The Chosen efforts.

There are and will be ALWAYS someone who wants to dog you no matter what you say, think, or do. Stand true to who you are and what you believe and let God handle the rest. Love the Chosen series and pray for the cast and all those involved in producing it!

The Chosen is wonderful and it uplifts my spirit. I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints and I do love The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thusly, I am Christian. I love that He is worshipped, no matter the Christian denomination. We need more of this type of program in the world today. The Savior needs all of us to share His gospel and live by His example of love and understanding.🙏😁❤️

Just here to say I love the chosen and hope everything works out!

I am LDS and I love The Chosen. It has changed my life and inspired me to study the scriptures so much more deeply. Thank you for all your work!

Just wanted to let you know that when I started watching The Chosen I was watching to see how closely the show followed the actual Scriptures and was very pleased with the degree of effort to stick to simply the Scriptures! Without any hint of any attempt to convert to any particular domination. I love the series because it helps make the different stories of Scripture be more real when you can see faces and mannerisms and in turn it leads to a better understanding. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see Scripture come to life! I am so very sorry that you have been put thru such undo criticism and I pray that it does not deter you from what I consider an anointed work. God bless you and all those who are dedicated to this project!

Truth is always revealed if we wait and watch. Stand strong and thank you for your commitment to bring the Gospel to everyone. God's Blessings on The Chosen!! ❤️

The Chosen is being used by our God of the Bible to reach so many and it is felt by all who really know Him and those that don’t but need Him...others are still afar off and we pray they will come to know Him. Thank you Dallas for all you do ...This show is amazing and very very anointed. God bless you and all involved! 💁🏻‍♀️❤️🙏

I am so proud of Dallas!!! He has taken the high road with the comments made about him personally or the the way he’s used his God-given gift to change people’s lives through The Chosen series! (I am certainly one of them) I am sure that God is well pleased because of the untold numbers of souls who have received His Son as their Savior and/or have rededicated theirs lives or has found new hope in their season of pain and suffering!(🙋🏽‍♀️) My prayer is that God will continue to bless and use this man (and all involved with The Chosen) to spread the good news of Jesus Christ! I also pray as well that Almighty God our Father would touch the hearts of those who maybe spiteful, jealous, influenced by the devil or just not a faithful follower of Christ! To God be all the glory, honor and praise!!! In Jesus’ mighty, matchless and marvelous name. Amen

@The Chosen Thank you for being so careful not to exclude any faith tradition. I see this show as one of those things that helps us come to a "unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God". Ephesians 4:13 I've never liked the idea behind saying "We don't believe in the same Jesus". Obviously, there is only one Jesus of Nazareth who inspired the writing of the NT. I feel it is much more charitable to say "We don't believe the same things about Jesus". It acknowledges differences without delegitimizing the other person's faith and experiences with the Savior.

"I will make you fishers of men. And you are to gather as many as possible, all kinds. I will sort them out later." Our chosen church or religion is not the point. It is our individual relationship with God and His Son. Thank you, Dallas. This show does not replace my relationship with my Savior. It does not replace scripture. It does not replace my church. It supplements and enriches it. I remember watching the very first episode for the very first time. I knew I had found something special. I had been struggling for a long time with relating to my God. But he never left. I did. All I had to do was "look up."

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My wife and I are grateful for your great work and the work of the cast and crew of the show. It is a beautiful testament of Christ for today's world

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, I would like to say thank you. The program has brought the Bible to a whole new light, and your comments here are greatly appreciated as well. In a world that is dark and attacks the whole Christian community, I am given hope when I find the Light of Christ shining for the whole world to see. I truly do love our Savior, and I love seeing your faith as well. Again, Thank You.

The Chosen series brings life into the scriptures especially for those of us who are visual learners sometimes more than someone just talking. Anyone who walks in the Spirit can discern properly while watching the series. Looking anxiously forward to Season 3!!! 🤗🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️

The best thing that's happened IMO is The Chosen. I was drowning until The Chosen was brought to my attention. I thank God everyday because I've started really studying scripture whereas before I was just reading. Keep up the great work. I pray people stop dissecting every statement made and look internally. God bless you all

We are not Mormon, we don't care what anyone says, we believe God has used you and this series to reach many people and show them Jesus. We love it and are rewatching it with our children to show them a correlation to the Word and stories they are learning.

Iam a member of the church of jesus christ of Latter-day Saints, I'm so excited about the chosen series wish everyone would work hard as you guys are doing ❤️, we all have to work together to teach each other, love the chosen it has touched my heart.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this as you’re so very busy getting this beautiful series out there for us all. This world needs to chill and just enjoy the real story of Jesus and his ministries. Dallas, you can’t keep everyone happy and focused on The Chosen, that’s not your job, it’s their choice to enjoy. Don’t question yourself, you’re doing beautifully. Don’t change a thing. We love you and appreciate your hard work. God bless you all in this amazing series.

I understand what you are saying. Thank you for clarifying that not everyone who belongs to any church group believe in the same Jesus. We are not in the position to judge the faith of another person. I so appreciate your candor in clarifying that. I am an evangelical who has a few LDS friends who I would say believe in the same Jesus I do. But only God knows our hearts. One thing I do know is that I love God & I am going to love the people around me.

From watching this video, this is what I got out of it. Mr. Dallas, you mention something to the effect that some evangelicals don't follow the same Jesus you do and some Mormons do follow the same Jesus. I am hearing that these statements have to do with people. It sounds like you're saying some people claiming to be followers of Christ are not faithful and the fruit they bear reflect this. The issue i understand is not about people. We cannot know what people truly believe in their hearts. The argument is about beliefs, teachings and interpretations and from my research Bible Christianity and LDS teachings are DEFINITELY NOT the same.

I'm so sorry but as a former Mormon myself, I have to question the idea that a person can think that the Jesus of the LDS faith is the same Jesus of the Bible. Have you ever asked them if they believe that Jesus is the son of God from a preexistent life as the oldest of his spirit offspring? Brother of Lucifer? Do you believe in a Jesus who shed his blood for us in Gethsemene, Dallas? Because that is LDS teaching and I can show it to you. The LDS Articles of Faith says they believe the Bible to be the Word of God "as far as it is translated correctly" and i cannot think of one single Mormon who believes otherwise. I was LDS for 31 years (since my birth). I am now a believing Christian. There is a distinction via doctrine and it counts. Does that mean you can't rent their property for your show? No, but please bear in mind that the money you pay goes to spreading a false gospel.

“For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

Watching the show has made me want to read my Bible more. I think it's so cool when I come across some of the stories in the old testament that you cover in the show because I can see it happening in my head and helps ground the word into reality, which makes me wanna read even more. I truly appreciate what you're doing with the show and am really looking forward to season 3.

I’m LDS and I support your beliefs. Your personal relationship with Christ is what will save you, not what you do in church on Sunday, what clothes you wear, or even if you testify to Jesus. I’m a work in progress and I feel that will always will be. Your show has brought many things in perspective about Jesus and his followers. The thing that stand out the most, is that despite the many backgrounds on his followers, “The Chosen” were selected because of whom they were and what they could become.

I'm a huge fan of Dallas Jenkins and all who are involved in the production of this awesome TV series. I dare say that it's the best TV series ever made. My family and I eagerly anticipate each new episode. 😍

Thankfully my first Pastor who was a humble Godly man, always told us to check everything he preached with the bible. I take the same approach to watching The Chosen and consider all of it. Thank you so much for giving a visual depiction of Christ’s time on earth! It gives me a better picture in my mind when I read God’s word! ❤️

Orthodox here. Love the show and I'm gratefull for it! Can't wait for season 3. My Wife Catholic. Loves the show and is trying to get more people to watch it. Best friend non practicing Protestant loves the show! Binged it overnight when I introduced him to it. Bottom line is thank you Dallas and we're very grateful for the show!!

Yes! Let's give each other grace, love and patience. I can't imagine being in the spotlight and having everything I do and say scrutinized. You are doing an amazing job with the chosen! Thank you for all you are doing! I'm LDS and everyone I talk to that is LDS absolutely loves this show! It gives another perspective of Christ and His ministry that is so refreshing, real and respectful. Keep moving forward and letting the spirit guide. It's obvious that you are doing that!

The content of the show is about how Jesus taught that his words were for everyone. The rich, the poor, the wise, the shepherds, the tax collectors, the Jews, the Sadducees and everyone else! So, I think we can all know Jesus and be part of his gospel. That is always a personal journey and He knows our hearts, our actions and whether or not we are a Christian. I love the work you are doing and how it impacts me and others, Dallas! Keep up the cause and thanks for explaining your thoughts and love for LDS people!

My opinion, as a Priest coming from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, is that the central problem is our attempt to evaluate anything concerning others. We are to examine ourselves in light of the truth of Jesus Christ as revealed to us. It is a mirror that allows us to see ourselves. It is not helpful as Christians for us to evaluate anyone other than ourselves. Leave the rest to God.

So sorry you had to deal with this. I love Jesus. The Chosen is my favorite depiction of the Savior EVER. Ever. I feel the spirit so strongly when I watch the series and honestly feel like it helps me to know my Savior better. I believe these complaints and arguments are from the adversary because it takes our attention away from where it truly needs to be: sharing the Chosen with everyone!! I am LDS. Every LDS person I have spoken to about this series loves it like I do. Dallas you are a blessing.

My son who is Six is having dreams of Jesus regularly since we started watching Chosen as a family. He says they feel so good. I hugged him for a good long time and asked if they feel that good. He said “Way better” What child thinks anything is better than a mother’s love? Only one who has truly experienced Jesus.

Hey Dallas! I’m loving the show as well as my parents and son and many friends! I’m so glad to come across this video tonight. I saw several videos that you are referring to! I’m a Masters level psychologist. There is a term called paving and leading in psychology. It’s when a psychologist meets someone where they are at, validates what is correct, and then gently leads them to the correct solutions and conclusions with facts, practices and information. I do believe the Mormons abd LDS clan are openly seeking an authentic relationship with God and hold Jesus in very high esteem. When we call them our brothers and sisters we invite them into the family sbd our openness, love and acceptance will help them to open up to the true historical, Old Testament prophecy fulfilling Jesus! When I saw clips of these videos and you saying what you said, I thought, that has a guy with enough acceptance, love and patience to Shepard all those that are seeking! I’m so sad that you even needed to make this video. The show speaks volumes of your faith, Bible believing truth and your heart for anyone seeking to encounter the savior. Thank you for all you are doing. Do not grow weary and do not be discouraged. Satan would use this and anything else to try to discourage you! It is making a huge difference in my home and with my friends family, child, etc. thank you again on clarification on where you stand, but the show brilliantly does that for you and your love and acceptance of all those seeking just further confirms the fathers heart, love, grace and desire to adopt ALL of us that went to be saved. Couldn’t switch this without stating my thoughts. I will continue to pay for you and duchess of the show. It is phenomenal and life changing for so many, myself included!

I love The Chosen series. It is so refreshing to see something good in this day and age. I speak for many , thank you. Getting to know all the characters of the Bible is remarkable. Can’t wait to actually meet the real one’s in Heaven . And yes I read my Bible daily, so I know that the Chosen is not a replacement to reading God’s Word. God’s blessings to you and all the people involved in this remarkable series.

Dallas I’m grateful for you, your humility, and your love for God’s Word and the clarity in how you portray it in the series. I can say my love for Jesus has deepened because of it and I am grateful for it. Praying for God’s hand on the chosen as it moves forward. Cheering you on!

You literally said “we love the same Jesus” when talking to a Mormon (you can find this clip on Doreen Virtue’s KZfaq channel). At best you are being deceptive and at worst you are straight up lying. It isn’t arrogant (as you seem to imply it would be) to point out the differences in theology between LDS and other Christians. Saying that Christians “love the same Jesus” as Mormons (which you literally did in an interview despite denying so in this video) would be factually incorrect. Why do you feel the need to lie to your audience?

I found Jesus and was born again when I was 14. I joined the LDS church when I was 17. I worship the same Jesus now that I did when I was 14. We need to be careful not to set ourselves up as the Pharisees, judging each other's walk and abrogating to ourselves the right to judge who is following Christ "right" and who is not. I think The Chosen does a pretty good job of portraying Jesus' opinion of the Pharisees who were so quick to judge every one else's "performance". That is God's job. Our job is to love, invite others to come to Christ, however they may work out the fine points of their worship. Jesus went out of His way from the get go to go into the byways and fringes of society to call and choose those the Pharisees condemned. We must love like He did, and be willing to stir up the water. God bless.

Keep doing what your doing Dallas! The Chosen is changing lives. I am a Christian and this series has amplified my love for Jesus and has led me to read the gospels in great detail for myself. The Chosen has brought the scriptures to life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Ignore the haters…. I admire how you take time to address concerns but don’t let it stop you !!!!!

The show may be a "tool" or a "step", but to me, it is Wonderful. It shows the strengths and weaknesses of the disciples, and reveals our kind, loving, winsome Saviour, Jesus the Christ. It points us back to the Bible, and brings the Gospel to life. Keep up the good work, Dallas. I am looking forward to diving into Season 3.

Dallas, I have fallen in love with Christ all over again because of this and a book titled "Desire of Ages" that my wife and I read while watching seasons 1 - 2. I don't care where that love comes from. I'm rereading the Bible because of "The Chosen" and I'm seeing a God I've never seen before. It was headknowledge before. Season 3 has been more difficult the first time through, but 2nd time, wow. It's hitting me hard. When my wife and I get to heaven, I'm looking you up because you'll be in the group I'm going to look for to say thank you. After Christ of course :-)

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, love the Chosen, the production quality is excellant, the actors are great, and I feel that as Christians we are to bring others to Christ, the Chosen is another way to teach about "the way, the truth and the life" that is Jesus Christ.

Hey, man. Like many of the comments before, can't thank you enough for helping bring The Chosen to life and allow millions more people become more acquainted with Jesus. I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't know all the specific differences between Christian and non-Christian religions, but I'm thinking we could all stand to be a little more Christ-like no matter where we worship. I'm grateful for all that The Chosen has done to get us a little closer to that goal. Keep up the the great Work, brother.

Love and appreciate all your work on chosen. Was in hospital recently and tried to share Jesus Christ so I wrote my name on the whiteboard in the room I was and wrote Chosen. Got to have many conversations about the show and of course Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour. Thank you & more blessings to you All IJCMN. Shalom

I don’t want to pretend I know all the ends and out of the LDS belief system, but it seems that there really is a doctrine issue. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I think the LDS believes that they can all ascend to Godhood, that Jesus is a separate deity to God the father. They believe that God the father was once a man who ascended to Godhood. They believe Joseph Smith received more inspiration for biblical canon. This is not an exhaustive list but just these things are a direct violation of the scripture of the evangelical, the messianic Jew, and even the catholic. It is fair to say that not every evangelical or messianic Jew is a true Christian, however it’s also true that every LDS is not a Christian. Why? Because He’s a completely different Jesus. Not view of Jesus or opinion on His demeanor/personality, rather a completely different person entirely. That is the fundamental problem that we have.

Hi Dallas. And all in the comments. I am a “born again” LDS. That’s just my own personal label for myself. I’m not very eloquent. So I’ll just say that The Chosen is beautiful. It has played a huge role in bringing me back to my own personal faith. I agree with you, as well as just about every comment that has been shared, regardless of faith. I love the unity in these comments. I love the spirit I feel when I watch The Chosen and practice my own personal faith in my life. Thank you for taking such great care to make this show so moving and powerful and authentic. May God bless you and your family.

You and your team are doing a fantastic job. Don’t allow comments of fools to distract you from this worthy mission. I am very dubious of any “Christian” who professes to tell others what they do or don’t believe. You’re very correct about the heart.

Dallas, I just have to say that because of you and your project and God's hand on all of this I am excited to open my Bible and read all the stories. Now when I read a character I can put a face to them and it just makes it feel more relatable having watched the Chosen (over and over again lol) and feeling a connection with the characters that they just don't seem so strange anymore. As if the bible were my personal family history! I love family history! Thanks to you I took action to read my Bible more and not just tell myself that I know I should read it more. Love you Dallas and all you allow the Holy Spirt to do through you. He is getting all of the glory!!!💞

Unfortunately, I’m not sure Dallas Jenkins added any clarity to the issue in this video nor do I believe that he understands what exactly the issue is. He seems to believe that the issue is simply that his statement is being perceived as a sweeping claim about a specific group of people (LDS). It’s not. at least, not necessarily. As someone who’s spent years studying and engaging with the LDS community, their doctrine, and their scripture, I’m struggling to understand how he is able to claim that ANY member in the LDS church believes in the same Jesus of the Bible. By definition, to be a member of the LDS church (or any of its offshoots) is to reject the Trinity, which is a fundamental belief of orthodox Christianity. It would be like arguing, “It would be arrogant of me to claim that all atheists are unsaved.” It’s a logically and theologically incoherent and confusing position to hold. So when Dallas implies that some of his closet LDS friends believe in the same Jesus. What exactly does he mean? Does he mean that his closest LDS friend believe in the Trinity? That they believe in Sola Fide? They reject Joseph Smith as a false prophet? If they believe in the fundamental doctrines of orthodox Christianity, then what makes them LDS? What is criteria or basis he uses to determine they believe in the same Jesus?

I watched The Chosen with my daughter and she was shocked to find out to know that you're the director. She was like "I expected the director to be an old guy" lol You're doing great work Dallas thank you

Love the comment of the FBI training to detect counterfeit. They get to know the TRUE/REAL one so well that it's easy to find the counterfeit. So good!

I have lived in Utah since 1982, I was raised in several different Protestant/Evangelical Church’s in Northern California and chose the Roman Catholic Church as my Church in High School some 50+ years ago. I’m attending a Zoom Bible study using The Chosen out of St Rose of Lima Church in Simi Valley, Calif. It’s my sincere belief that The Choose is another tool God has given us to stand together with our Common beliefs as a group United that does not make us change or abandon our Core Doctrine beliefs of each of our Churches. I also sincerely believe that we are in another time of Separating the goats from the sheep is it the end of times I don’t know, but I do know if we don’t come together as Christians and stand up for for Our Lord, the people that belong to Satan will pick each Church off one at a time using other Christians/Churches to do it. God uses each one of us and has known each of us, Isaiah 43 and only He can Judge us in the end. To me this is just another wedge/attack Satan is trying to use for disunity so he can do his work. This year I’ve seen more Christian movies in Theaters then ever before, Purgatory, The Chosen Christmas, Fr Stu, Alive and several other previews from other Christian groups and Pro-Life. Prayers for your part in this, Dallas

Every. Single. Episode has rocked my world. I honestly believe that you have captured Jesus and his following in a way that is changing lives. That really is what it’s about. Changing hearts and lives I believe that is Jesus’ mission. Now ours. For us to now go and stir the water. I have not heard anything against what I know in Gods word. You show us in every episode that Jesus / Holy Spirit meets us where we are. God bless you in continuing to reach the list through The Chosen. It has helped me in my relationship with God and with others. ❤

I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I love your work. God bless you and the crew so y’all can continue making this series greater!!

Hey Dallas… LDS member , age 64, we love the Chosen. Its inspired work. I know because I feel the spirit when I watch So relax, you’re doing great work and I’m going it keep supporting you and your team! I wish you were able to produce more faster.

I love the Chosen!! It's my favorite depiction of Jesus & the gospels next to Jesus of Nazareth ( which was a little more conservative). The Chosen is so down to earth and understandable even those who don't particularly know the scriptures can understand it. I feel moved every time I watch it and I believe the Holy Spirit will use the Chosen to lead people to Jesus and to read the Bible. God's ways are not our ways and He will use and lead men like Dallas and Jonathan to consider that God is real and loves them. Thank you Dallas and cast of the Chosen! GOD bless you and continue to use this series and ministry for His glory and will!!✝️🕊🙏💗

Dallas, Thank you for all your transparency. To me personally, you've done an extraordinary job of making sure that what you've said is not misconstrued. I think you've even gone out of your way to make sure of that (not being misconstrued). I want to say that I prayed for something like this when I was an 11 yr that had reading/comprehension issues (severe learning disability) that I told him that I needed a some kind of visual. To me, first was the passion of the Christ and now the Chosen. Thank you for your obedience. This has been a tool to help my spectrum daughter who is between Matthew and Thomas relate better and understand what I've been trying to teach her for years. This has meant so much to me. God Bless you Dallas!

I just want to say that my study of the Bible has increased since I’ve started watching the Chosen. I research different things I see to be clarified if I don’t understand what I see or hear. I’ve spent more time studying than before. When reading the Bible, I didn’t understand a lot. Seeing it played out and the way you try to make sure you are portraying the Word accurately has helped me immensely. Thank you for this show. I tell people about it and many have said that they will check it out. Thank you sir.

Dallas, first of all I love your name. I named my eldest son Dallas. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching The Chosen and have felt the Holy Spirit several times enough to bring tears to my eyes. To watch the your depiction of the Savior Jesus Christ has made Him so much more real for me. I've always had belief and a testimony of the Savior but watching his life via The Chosen has grown my love and appreciation for Him. One thing you said in this video that creates question is the encouragement to make your local church group or pastor a point of scriptural clarification. I've thought about this many times, but the reason there are 46,000 different Christian churches is that every paster or church leader has their own perspective and historically what has happened is that when someone disagrees with a certain perspective of doctrine they break off and start their own church. It's just a shame, because as Christians we know that there is only one Christ, and one gospel and yet because of different interpretations of scripture there has been division, contention and separation created despite all agreeing to worship the Savior. Other than that one simple thought I agree, respect and appreciate everything that you said. It is not for us to judge, but only love as the Savior would do.

Dallas, thank you for this! I think it is really sad that you even have to do it. I saw (did not watch) a 5 hour video on why people should NOT watch The Chosen! I AM LDS, raised Pentecostal, and find it very interesting that people feel to judge whether or not someone is or is not a Christian! I wonder if they have read the scriptures where Jesus gave this advice (for lack of a better word) Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind and might. And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets!! If we would ALL try to obey these two commandments we wouldn't have all this division and incorrect judgements about others. I love The Chosen, was turned on to it by one of my LDS friends! Several of my LDS friends watch it, and I personally have encouraged my family and others to watch it. I think you are doing a wonderful job. I believe that Heavenly Father loves each of us so much that He provides MANY different ways for us to come to Him and to Jesus, as each of us are very different from one another. And you are providing one of those ways. Keep up the good work and know that a lot of us love and appreciate you and all of those who are working with you to bring us closer to Jesus Christ.

As a Latter-day Saint who gets TIRED of being told what I believe or what I don’t, I really appreciate what you’ve just said, Dallas. I think we could all use a little more context and nuance before labeling someone as “bad” or “good”, and I think your show has the power (and is already doing it) to bring so many people of different and even opposing creeds, doctrines, etc, closer together to the REAL Lord Jesus Christ. I understand the extremely difficult situation you must be in, because you can’t favor the Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic, or Latter-day Saint viewpoint over another, and you have to get Jewish tradition and history correct on top of it. Thank you for being fearless and listening to God and the Holy Spirit as you create this wonderful material that will bring us all together, and nor so far apart!

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I have appreciated every moment in the Chosen. Its beautiful depiction of Jesus Christ and his apostles has fostered a new opportunity for people to learn about the life that Jesus lead and encourage more people to read the scriptures! I love and believe in Jesus Christ and his role as Savior and Son of God, and his atoning sacrifice to provide us with grace, and opportunities to repentant and be redeemed. I think that even though there are some differences in reilgious practice and interpretation of the bible, Jesus Christ would expect anyone that believes in him to share his love and kindness with all, especially those who do not share your own beliefs. Uniting and uplifting others needs to happen more than the wars of words that are so commonplace these days.

In the world we live in, it’s hard to believe this is what we are still doing, as if there’s nothing else to worry about
