    Of course, there is a lot of rot on TV, so it's best avoided altogether.  But I would say that, for example, murder on a murder mystery, which is seen as bad & punished in the end, is far less harmful than this false depiction of Our Lord & the Gospels on The Chosen. 
    I now understand what you are saying.   Thank you.  

    One of my friends text me a meme about how tv is created to have electromagnetic ability to mess with our nervous systems.   

    Everything is controlled by satan’s buddies the free mason luciferians.

    • I’ve watched what has come out so far with the series except the new season that is out in theaters (I think). 

    My husband and I have really liked it. There were a few things I raised my eyebrow at. To be honest, I don’t remember what they were but would if I watched again. For the most part it is pretty accurate. 

    I guess what I have enjoyed about it is that it really brought the gospels to life. I obviously knew that the events in the gospels were true but sometimes it’s hard to picture events, you know? It helped me to contemplate the gospels more and it helped me to draw closer to Our Lord through that. 

    I’m looking forward to watching the next season. I’m not sure where my husband got them. I think they were free with our Prime subscription. We don’t have TV but do rent or buy movies off of Prime.

    • Our Lady's birth was  not miraculous on the show. So, we stopped watching it.

    • Even with one heresy (indeed for far less) this show would have been prohibited to Catholics if the hierarchy were functioning properly. We are forbidden to read the King James Bible for instance, despite it being much closer to the true scriptures than this show is.  I would say that traditional Catholics should hold themselves to the same standards of morality which they know the Church upheld prior to Vatican 2.  This includes not reading or watching things which would clearly be on the index or forbidden via the Legion of Decency.

    If we applied this also to reading online, far fewer people would be led into various errors which abound under the name of "Catholic" these days.

    • This is why I don’t own a TV.  I don’t know anything about The Chosen except that it’s a TV show.  I still don’t know who played whom in the Super Bowl or who won.  I do know someone had a victory party and two people got shot and killed.  Sometimes ignorance IS bliss!

    Well, even pain during childbirth is possible if Our Lady offered to accept it.  Without Original Sin, both Our Lord and Our Lady were also not subject to death and suffering in general, but both most certainly experienced both.
    Absolutely not! Our Lady remained a Virgin before, during and after Our Lord's birth, therefore she gave birth miraculously, Our Lord came as the ray of sunshine goes through glass or a prism, it was a miraculous birth! To say that Our Lady gave birth normally, with or without pains, is a blasphemy... 
    Besides, the show has many other problems. It is paid for by Mormons and shows Our Lord with a human personality, which He didn't have. And I don't think it's respectful towards St Matthew either. Not to mention that the Romans never had an issue with Jesus! 🤦

    Pious Opinion. The dogmatic definitions uphold the perpetual and perfect virginityof the BVM. The definitions do not lay out how this miracle occurred other than through the omnipotence of God in the working of the Holy Ghost.

    • Aren't labour pains a punishment placed on Eve? So Our Lady would be exempt from that because she doesn't have original sin?

    Help me out here.  What do you mean, "a human personality, which He didn't have"?  Please elaborate.

    He wept.  He begged to be spared the Cross.  He rebuked people who needed rebuking (including Peter).  He got thirsty.  Sounds pretty human to me.

    And the Scriptures are really very sparing in their description of Jesus as a Person, and what He was like to be around and to talk to.  Of His life from roughly ages 12 through 30, we know nothing.

    Thank you so much.  Is Mary Magdalene the woman that was almost stoned?
    The woman caught in adultery is not named.

    Not me that posted it but Christ has 2 Natures (human and Divine) but is 1 Person (Divine, not human, the base word of personality is 'person,' which is what I'm guessing the poster was getting at.)  To say he is 2 persons (human and Divine) is actually a heresy.  There are many Christological heresies so I don't remember specifically which one it's called.  The poster should elaborate to be sure though.

    Yes, Our Lord had 2 natures, the divine nature and the human nature, definitely. But his personality was that of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, his personality was divine, not human. For instance, you never see Jesus laugh in the Gospels. He never said, like in The Chosen "The Son of man..... [...], that's me, by the way!" 🤦

    No, Our Lady was exempt because the birth of Jesus was not a normal birth, it was miraculous. Our Lord came through our Lady like the rays of the sun through glass for instance. Not the normal way.

    "his [His] personality was divine, not human"

    That statement is the heresy of the monophysites.  Our Lord was just as human (excepting He did not sin) as He was divine.

     And yes, I have no doubt that Our Lord laughed.  All humans laugh.
