It was completely unintentional on their part, they didn’t even know that that quote existed in the book of the religion-that-will-not-be-named. You cannot name the religion? Why the passive aggressiveness? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Book of Mormon. Yes, the shows creator addressed the issue. And the creator has never read the Book of Mormon...

When this thread first came out I tried watching. Got through the first 3/4 episodes and quit. Wife recently finished season 3 and convinced me to give it a try again.
Watched season 1 last weekend. Slow but got better towards the end of the season. Watched season 2 this past Friday & Saturday. Much better and far more interesting. Watching season 3 now. Matthew's character is...unexpected. |

Season 4 is about ready to start filming.
I really enjoy the show. |
|
|
I think they start filming late next month, right?

There are filming right now.
Lots of behind the scenes footage from Dallas Jenkins have been put up on social media. |

I've been watching the show since the beginning and it's very good at giving Jesus a "humanness" we don't see in the movies. Same deal with the apostles. There are times you might disagree with the dialog of the characters by thinking no way that person said that. But we simply don't know a lot about the daily interactions of the chosen 12 and Jesus.

Glad I found this thread! I saw a clip on FB and it moved me. I'm excited to start watching!

Looks like Yoshi Barrigas, who played Phillip, is leaving the show for “personal and professional reasons.” I guess it’s hard to keep such a large cast completely together for multiple seasons of a show.

Sad times. I know this was probably allowed in the spirit of maintaining harmony on the set, but the Pride flag is a sick parody of the symbol God used to establish a covenant with mankind and is an anti-Christian symbol. It has no business on the set of a Christian-themed TV show.

During Great Lent the Church sings, "O my soul, flee like Lot to the mountain, and take refuge in Zoar before it is too late. Flee from the flames, my soul, flee from the burning heat of Sodom, flee from destruction by the fire of God."

View Quote I don't think the leadership could prohibit the flag without turning the set into a complete circus, and further it would be making national headlines. They aren't going to change the employee by prohibiting the flag, they aren't going to change any of the cast who are sympathetic to the employee by prohibiting the flag. They were simply going to bring alot of negative attention to the name of Christ. |

View Quote And he did so with a tender heart and full of grace in order to bring people to repentence. He saved his wrath for the leadership. The employee was restrained and placed a toothpick flag. To change them you make them feel akward about it by being full of grace but also not approving. To come down like a ton of bricks will just reinforce the victim complex across the very group of people whose heart you want to change. |

2 Corinthians 11:1-4 Concern for Their Faithfulness 1Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly—and indeed you do bear with me. 2For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it! --- We must always be vigilant, and discerning, but especially in these times. Spirits are waging war on our streets, and in the media. They desire our attention and obedience. Listen and obey instead to Paul, the other True Apostles, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. |

View Quote But members of the cast and crew did approve and expressed their solidarity publicly. That is not the way. Tolerance means allowing evil to bring about a greater good, not just allowing evil and certainly not embracing and affirming evil. |

When you try to harmonize them, things get a little messy. It isn’t that anybody is wrong, it is just that these are ancient near eastern writings, and they don’t record history the way modern westerners would. |

The individual is (no surprise) working in the entertainment industry in LA. We've stayed in contact all these years (and I was even his sponsor in absentia about 15 years ago when he was received into the Catholic Church). However, following a divorce he seems to have made a rather sudden change and is influenced by his liberal girlfriend. Sadly, the changes he'd made years ago now appear to have been quite shallow. When I look at what is happening to our culture, my patience is very short with those who would undermine the future of my kids and grandkids. Lord have mercy on us. |

I watched the first two seasons over the course of the last month or so. I’d heard of the show previously but I mostly ignored the hype until curiosity got the better of me. I have now deleted the app from my phone and will not watch the remaining episodes or future seasons.
I think the show is competently acted and directed and I understand that they felt the need to include some unscriptural backstory on the apostles and even Jesus. But that is not what caused me to stop watching. I think that one’s experience of Christianity is a deeply personal path. Watching a show that puts out a lot of information into a visual media means it places the interpretation of the director, producer, writers, and actors into the mix that then rumbles around in my head with my own interpretation. Yes I can separate a TV show from Holy scripture but some of the interpersonal drama happening seemed almost “sitcom-ish” at times which seems to trivialize this serious subject. Also, given how pervasive the woke garbage is these days I kept expecting to see a token gay guy somewhere. Ultimately I just decided I couldn’t trust the show anymore and didn’t want to spend my time on it. My time is better spent on studying the actual Gospels, all of the rest of the Bible of course,and the great multitude of writings by St. John Chrysostom, St Augustine, or many other great Saints who left us more great wisdom than I’ll ever be able to fully process. |

I was trying to make the point (rather poorly, looking back on it) that one doesn't have to claim any false covenant relationship with God to be punished in any way. Unrepentance of any sin will sentence us to eternal death as much as anything. Forgive me for the confusion |
