Always research what you are supporting / watching before jumping on any bandwagons.

I am not attacking Mormons by posting this (and another article) - I know some Mormons, I love them, they are wonderful people and we do share most of the same values, but we definitely do not have the same beliefs.

I did not get a good vide after watching 5 minutes. Now I found this out. Not surprised.

Well said. My thoughts and sentiments are the same.

While our beliefs certainly do differ, there is a lot to be admired about the Mormons’ resilience in the face of our “modern” (read “decadent”) culture. Perhaps we remnant Christians could have a look and learn a thing or two from how they have managed that.

Ugh...why does satan need to twist EVERYTHING i hope is good in this world?

“No one is good except God alone” (Mark 10:18b)....such a perfect illustration to Christ’s words.

Hmmm, I did not know this was a mormon thing. I was gonna do some homework on the project before viewing it but, I don’t consider it such a priority any more.

The deity of Christ is central to christianity. It is why Jesus was put to death in the first place.

It is an very well made series. My wife and I are enjoying it.

Many are trying to divide us in every way, as Christians we should resist that and remember we are all children of God.

I used to have a close friend who was raised a Mormon. Rich aunt and uncle important in the local church. Big tithers.

She told me when the world ends or whatever they call it the ones who believe the Mormons are right, not born Mormons but baptize in…they would be their slaves. As for Mormons themselves they will become gods. Everyone else will die.

All these nice looking young kids always come to my door and want me to get involved in LSD, I always tell them I was at woodstock before they were born.

but then eventually they start talking about magic underwear, I think I maybe got confused and ask them to come back another time

>> Evangelicals don’t believe the same things as Mormons at all! <<

That's true of NON-Evangelicals, too. Reminds me of the media's talking point when Mitt Romney was running for POTUS:

Media: Evangelicals don't see Mormons as Christian!

Me: Ummm, I hate to break the news to you, but neither does any other Christian denomination.

No, I will not be watching "The Chosen"

Then you are really missing out. It is a beautiful production about the life of Jesus Christ and his followers.

Dallas Jenkins, Christian producer of "The Chosen," has stated that he doesn't agree with the Mormons on many things but that he is willing to work with them. Why wouldn't he? He works with Muslims, Hindus, and even atheists.

Jenkins mentioned that in the beginning, he had no idea how he would get funding for his production or how he could afford to build a movie set.

Some Mormons generously offered to let him use their ready-made set, and "the Chosen" got off to a great start.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. If He chooses to work through people who happen to be Mormon to answer Jenkins's prayers, why shouldn't Jenkins accept the offer?

For every one who calls on the name of Christ WILL be saved!

And if the person calling on that name also claims that "his" Christ is a spaceman from the planet Kolob?

Your logic makes about as much sense as saying that if a woman marries a man named, say, John Q. Johnson, that she thus agrees to have conjugal relations with John Q. Johnson, and so any guy named John Q. Johnson then has the right to sleep with her.

Their "Christ" is a "Christ" in name, only!

Regards,

No, we are no all children of God.

Only those who put their faith in Him.

John 1:11-12 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

No, I won’t even drink from the “Chosen” mug.

While you're at it, senior pastor, stay away from any Christian-themed art produced by people whose beliefs don't match 100% with yours.

Don't look! This was made by a heretic, if not outright atheist: The Last Supper

A gay man made this: The Pieta

And don't read the Bible, it contains the words of Satan! (Matthew 4). Talk about infiltrating holy texts.

Christ himself dined with publicans and sinners. He communed with Jews, pagans, and prostitutes. I'm sure he would approve of your piety.

I shall continue to watch "the Chosen" religiously. Won't be attending any of the "good pastor's" sermons though. They're too pure for me.
