As many of you have, I've been asked if I like the show The Chosen for quite a few years. Many people I know like it and have recommended it to me. I've never wanted to because of the Mormon connection with it, but this point regarding someone regularly depicting Jesus Christ really has me thinking along another more serious line. I do think there is a difference in re-enacting a Biblical story and having a series with Him as a character. I hadn't thought of that before but am glad to consider it now.
This article references numerous works I respect (Grudem, Postman etc), so could be worth a read:
We should always be striving to 'put on' Christ and 'put off' the things of this world. There's no shame in changing direction; it is what we're supposed to do the more we learn and the closer to God we get. And we are each accountable to God for our own actions and decisions. We can't follow outward rules that aren't in our hearts and please God.
