Our Bible consultants discuss our most controversial moment

[@fernandou1704]

I hope Bishop Barron is given some more times to comment on the show with less interruption in the future. Bringing him in was a tremendous move guys. Independently of whether you're a protestant or a catholic, and leaving aside whatever theological disagreements we have, learning from him is a great gift.

[@reginapontes5672]

Exactly! I don't even agree with Bishop Barron on everything but people need to expose themselves to him without him being continually interrupted and he wasn't being pedantic.

[@peacefulsunsetsambientmusi3787]

I'm just going to leave one thing here, as I do generally agree... The council of Trent claiming that protestants are anathema still stings, as it has never been removed or properly changed. Catholics believe that Protestants are anathema. While modern catholics may not express this, some of their core beliefs teach this.

This is why the Church is needed. 2000 years of study and commentary to learn from and not just our own interpretation. Their inquiries about Jesus have already been studied, thought out, prayed about, and written about. Pride always tells us that our thoughts and revelations are the first of its kind and that our interpretation makes the most sense. Humility learns from the wise.

[@randumgaming]

Precisely why I'm so happy we have the Church. The Saints have pondered these things nearly endlessly, to such beautiful understandings and conclusions, and they're right there for us to draw on!

[@DaBearsManiac2]

Exactly, this whole argument was settled by the third ecumenical council. Jesus walking about like that, as if looking for inspiration for his parable, is incredibly off-base. This idea that Christ acted not upon himself, but only by the Holy Spirit or as some divine marionette, is a ginormous heresy. The Word was incarnate and made flesh. However that flesh is part of his divine nature as well! It's why we believe his divine body and blood is sufficient for salvation and is present in every Eucharist! He acted as God on this earth having one essence with God and being God in the flesh. Jesus working in conjunction with the will of his father was always an illustration of their perfect love and harmony. Not as a subject obeying the master. For Jesus is in complete union with God the Father as well. I took great offense to them suggesting that Jesus was not acting upon his own authority, but could only perform his works through the aid of the Holy Spirit.

I DONT...HE DOES NOT REPRESENT THE TRUE CATHOLIC CHURCH...HE IS A WOLF

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

@Chris Gomez Well, the key Orthodox and Coptic churches were founded at around the same time as the Catholic Church. Antiquity is not the only thing that matters. It does make the protestant churches look silly and manmade, but we should be clear that it's not true that "all other forms of Christianity is founded in the yr 1500 or later" [sic]

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

​@Chris Gomez What? No, several churches in Greece were founded in the mid first century. Most broke communion with the bishop of Rome in 1054, but they were still founded at the same time as the church in Rome. The Catholic Church of the 1st century included many regional churches, from Rome to Lyons, Jerusalem to Alexandria. Some of those churches wound up breaking off and forming their own loose affiliation; others maintained allegiance to the established Church hierarchy. "Orthodox" isn't one thing, it's a name for a group of regional churches that broke communion with the Catholic Church over the same issues at around the same time. It wasn't "founded," because it's not an institution. It's just a loose (and fracturing) grouping of institutions, many of which have their origin in the Apostles in the 1st century, but some of which were founded much later. This is still different from protestant denominations, which not only broke from Rome very late, but were also founded very late, not as valid bishoprics but as essentially Bible appreciation societies.

[@tylere.8436]

[@TheImperiusv]

One of my favorite Christological quotes, I forgot where I heard it, is that you don't want to come up with a view of Jesus that turns him into Superman disguised as Clark Kent. Meaning that you don't want to have him be all divine, all the time, but occasionally holding back. Such a view, I think, diminishes the real pain and full range of human emotion that Jesus experienced. Not to mention it interferes with various models of the atonement that require Jesus to be really human in order to elevate humanity. Bishop Barron's citation of Augustine of Jesus being in the form of God and being in the form of a slave gets to it. There are moments in the Gospels where he is seen as full of divine majesty, power, and knowledge; and some parts where he acts like a regular guy (minus sin).

[@360hershey7]

I am so happy to see Bishop Robert Barron on this roundtable of consultants. He's a brilliant, devout, traditional Catholic with a total heart for evangelization, which The Chosen seems anointed to do: spread the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus! Bishop Barron is a great complement to this group of learned representatives of their beliefs. Truly, Dallas, thank you!

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

I agree with you, but those models of the atonement are really dubious. I would say you run into an equal number of problems when you come up with a view of God that places arbitrary limits on his salvatory abilities. So any model that _requires_ anything of God is suspicious. It seems a lot more plausible to me that God could have saved us in an infinite number of ways, but he chose the mode of sacrifice because it was most pleasing to him and it taught the greatest possible lesson to humanity.

[@youngknowledgeseeker]

@@gracecrosina9068 Believe me I understand how sensitive and charged this topic is for many people. I was raised traditional Christian. Of course I’ve read John 1 and studied it. I believed every traditional belief. That the Trinity was real. That Jesus was God. That you have an immortal spirit. That God burns people in a fire forever where they can’t die and just burn for eternity, all of their “nerves”, if they’re judged bad. I believed all of it. But the day I actually started taking God seriously (not saying you or anyone doesn’t) and actually read my Bible all of that changed. We are fed many lies from tradition and we eat them up unknowingly and even love them. Jesus being God is one of them. He is the one and only God’s *son*. He is the God of Israel’s Messiah. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’s promised King. He is YHWH’s/Jehovah’s miraculously born human son. You can only learn this if you seek with an open mind, read and study. It’s not even hard or hidden. It’s just we are bombarded, since birth, with false ideas we deeply grow to believe are true. So that even statements like “Why do you call me good? Only one ☝️ is good, that is the Father” can just go in one of our ears and out the other. Or statements like “This is eternal life, that they may know you (Father) the *only* true God, AND (that they may know) Jesus Christ whom you (the only true God) sent”…. Best wishes, may God give us and open our minds up to all truths, including me. Edit: But if you were looking for me to reply to that actual scripture, John 1 simply means something like Jesus is an accurate representation of God. The word “word” was a word packed with meaning for the ancient reader whether Jewish or Greek. Notice that John 1, among other things, is most certainly a reference to Genesis 1 where God spoke creation into existence. (We have to ask ourselves questions like do we really think that Jesus was sentences before he was born?) The word of God in Genesis was an expression of Gods mind/will/intent, and carried out his will, and was intimately associated with him, finding the origin of its very existence in God. In his speech in Genesis 1 came the existence or appearance of life and light. It was even his mode of interaction with the world in later writings . To the Greeks the “word” was akin to Gods reason/logic/plan for the world, the thing that gave it its continued existence and meaning for its existence. So yes the word “was” God (in the Greek language it was written in it could actually be “was like God”, but I don’t make a big issue of that, John still conveys the same message either way), but not literally. John was saying that the word of God can be found in the person of Jesus, that the God of the universe is expressing himself and working in Jesus. When you hear Jesus words, and see his actions in his ministry, you are seeing Gods words and actions.

I think there is a crucial part missing from the discussion. Jesus states many times, that He spoke as He heard from the Father. I don’t believe He needed to rehearse, He wholly submitted Himself to the Father and He heard and taught what He heard from the Father (John 12:49-50).

I don't even know my time."; "He is the Son of God."...why do some of us hold on so tenaciously to the idea that They are the same being, rather than a perfect Son condescending to come to Earth and offer salvation to all mankind, in humble submission to His Merciful Father's will? The utter beauty of their magnificent synergy; their oneness is such a powerful portrayal of how we must give up our wills to The Father and The Son, that we may be one in them.

Because the Holy Trinity is One God, the Three Distinct Persons of God are One in Being (consubstantial). These formulations were worked out in the Ecumenical Councils of the One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church. While there are particular churches under the umbrella of the One Church founded by Jesus Christ the separated Protestant churches are without valid & licit bishops, and for this reason they cannot have the essential priesthood of Jesus Christ in their churches and so they are without the fullness of faith which includes the Sacraments.

I prefer to rely on true scholars and biblical experts than movie producers wanting to tell a good story. If this did nothing else, it opened the eyes of people looking for more answers not entertainment.

Interesting discussion. It seems like, if He had not prepared at all, it would be more like prophecy than preaching. So, if it was a sermon then Jesus could have easily spent time preparing.

[@brucebarber4104]

I don't think people realize that the Gospels are 4 biographies on the life of Jesus. He most likely delivered His sermons multiple times and it is not outside the realm of possibility for Him to have prepared beforehand.

[@freshliving4199]

I do not believe that Jesus prepared anything. He had God's spirit dwelling in Him, the Truth. So therefore He would know exactly what to say and when. The Truth requires no preparation. You are of it or you you are not. Be still and know. Not be still and prepare.

[@goudagirl6095]

I liked what Dallas said, that Jesus knew He'd be speaking to many different types of people, so He wanted to get His point across in the simplest way. I think (if this were true) that its just another way that Jesus showed His love for the common man, in all humility; that He so wanted to make sure that everyone understood, in order to bring them to faith, that He wanted to get it "just right."

[@brucebarber4104]

@@hitnapomoczanemirne7345, Mark places the story later in his Gospel account than Matthew and Luke. I think the context around this particular saying of Jesus is important. In all 3 Gospel accounts, Jesus is referencing the future persecution of believers. Therefore, I believe the context in which Jesus said those words is important. Like I commented above, I believe Jesus told the same or similar stories many times during His ministry. That being said, Matthew's account of the sermon is specific regarding what happened that particular day, and I personally don't think he practiced it beforehand. What we don't know is whether or not it was the first time He delivered that particular sermon that particular day. Recall, Luke's account describes a sermon on the plain and Matthew's account describes a sermon on the mount.

[@pklemets]

Your assessment is more accurate than those who wasted their time with books. I'm for study but not at the expense of twisting scripture to say something that is not there. The gospels gave an honest report of Jesus life and actions. Where the scriptures are silent, we should be silent and where the scriptures are loud we should be loud. A writing attributed to Peter from the first century states, we were careful not to add or take away from Jesus life. Perhaps we would do well to oblige in the same respect to avoid error.

@@pklemets "wasted their time with books"? what on earth are you talking about. how does not reading books somehow make you less prone to error? if we were silent in every case where the scriptures are silent, we would have nothing to say about huge gaps in the narrative. moreover, scripture is only one of the two modes of the Word of God. as Paul very clearly says, "So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter." (2 Thessalonians 2:15) the authors of the Gospels only bothered to include the most important details, as it was very expensive to write and reproduce these texts. the writers of the epistles did not write them expecting them to be compiled into scripture. there WAS NO scripture for decades after the resurrection. the Church had to create its canon, based on divine inspiration. it knew it had the authority to do this because Jesus promised them the holy spirit would guide them in their preaching. they were preaching orally for decades before they wrote any of this down. and they didn't just stop preaching orally after they started writing. they always knew that the Word of God was oral tradition, and they simply committed some of it to writing so it would be preserved more accurately over the ages and transmitted over greater distances. they certainly did not expect that modern people would go around saying that ONLY the writing matters, and that all of their oral teachings should be disregarded.

Jesus is love, and in his love he would want his message to be understood by as many people as possible. He was delivering his message to us in his humanity so that he would connect to us in our humanity. The Bible says several times that Jesus learned new things, which again would be his fully human nature. There’s nothing wrong with the idea that Jesus might have rehearsed something. As long as you know the scene of rehearsing the sermon on the mount with Matthew was just a cinematic interpretation, then we can appreciate the way this biblical message is delivered in The Chosen, which was very powerful and impacts many viewers.

He did not commit sin, as it is not in God's nature to sin at all, but I feel like everything that makes man a man without sin was what Jesus was. Adam before the fall as it were.

[@timmedlin3969]

It almost seemed like the discussion was referencing scriptures to justify what had already been decided. But there is scripture elsewhere, Matthew 10:19 which is “But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say." The parallel passage in Luke states it as "So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves", that is, don't prepare a sermon. :) To be fair, they have a hard task making the film and they do pray about it and don't take anything lightly. See? It made you ask a question of yourself and got you thinking about something you may not have considered. I think that is always good.

[@EscapingBabylon]

You don't need to wait. He already answered this directly from his mouth in the Scriptures. They are so close and dancing all around it. Jesus' ministry and teaching was guided purely by the Holy Spirit after his baptism. He wasn't fretting over how to say things. In John 12:49 Jesus himself states that he did not speak on his own authority, but the Father who sent him commanded him what to say, and how to speak. Verse 50, I speak exactly what the Father has told me to say. Also, he spoke as one who had authority, not merely practiced like the scribes, and the people marveled at his teaching (Matt 7:28-29, Mark 1:22). Again, in Luke 21:14-15 when preparing the hearers for coming trials he said not to prepare beforehand how to answer, for he would give them words and wisdom when the time came. These are just off the top of my head. I'm sure if one were to spend the time there are many other passages, some coming directly from the mouth of Jesus himself to settle this. The producers seemed to get it right when Jesus was being questioned as a boy. Not sure why they went a different direction here.

A bigger problem for me, was the apostles and other disciples advertising for his sermon. I don't think that was necessary. People were following him and using more grassroots ways of finding out about his message.

[@JuanDiaz-ud7ji]

I would like to hear more the comments from Bishop Barron, but unfortunately he couldn’t have a better opportunity to explain himself.

[@CatholicCulturePod]

It's not clear to me why Jesus would need to spend more effort figuring out what how He was going to phrase things to communicate effectively to a diverse crowd in the Sermon on the Mount than the Apostles needed to spend figuring this out for their preaching to the crowd on Pentecost - where they spoke spontaneously and from the Holy Spirit without concern for syntax. I get what the writers were trying to do here, but having him quibbling over this or that word doesn't fit well with other things we see in Scripture, and with Jesus' telling the disciples not to prepare speeches when they have to defend themselves. I like it better when they show Him accepting input from His disciples, I think that's a more effective and elegant way of getting across the organic and spontaneous nature of Jesus's humanity responding to His environment.

[@bransrubar]

God doesn't always work in exactly the same way as He did in the past. Also remember, Peter had a tendency to just start talking, often putting his foot in it. That may simply have been his style, and the Holy Spirit worked through it. Jesus may have been more of a planner when living on Earth. We can't know. I do very much appreciate, and get what Dallas was going for in that scene. I think The Chosen has a brilliant portrayal of Jesus.

[@condoguy710]

Jesus told the disciples not to worry about what they would say, that at the moment the Spirit would give them the words and that's exactly what happened. The scribes and pharisees were amazed at Peter's ability to preach the entire reasoning for Jesus as the Messiah. No sermon prep. It's just Dallas cannot admit he was wrong. I think it could be pride in not wanting to admit he introduced a fatal flaw in Jesus of the show. I don't see how Dallas is going to be able to get back on track after this debacle.

[@bransrubar]

@@condoguy710 Jesus said that to the disciples and for certain situations. He didn't necessarily say it about everyone and for all times. I still see nothing wrong with the sermon prep.

[@vitafranc]

Whilst I appreciate what the creators were trying to show in this scene, I think if Jesus told us not to worry about what to say or how to say it: "At that time you will be given what to say" (Matthew 10:19) I think it's likely He followed His own advice. I know He's the God of Wisdom and was filled with the Spirit the whole time with no breaks. Another important detail - He IS the Word. So that's another big reason why this particular scene didn't quite work for me as well.

[@thomasfryxelius5526]

There´s nothing in the NT that says Jesus prepared his sermons, but also nothing that says He didn´t. So you may well be right that the Word was never at a loss for words. Seems kinda strange I admit. But just to comment on the text you quoted; He doesn´t say they should never prepare what to say, He says "When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour." so He´s not saying we shouldn´t prepare our sermons but that if we are brought before a trial we should not prepare our defence but rely on the Spirit in that moment to give us wisdom. I think a pastor that does not prepare his sermons is doing something wrong.

[@BillyGorst]

Also according to Matthew the Sermon on the Mount was spontaneous. It wasn't something they handed out little fliers for like in the show; the people all gathered to be healed, and there he opened his mouth and spoke. He received his sayings from the Father; he said I have not spoken of myself, as the Father commanded me so I speak. So it wasn't just something he formulated out of his own mind on the fly, or came up with.

[@emlih1898]

@@BillyGorst yes! preparation signals doubt in what God the Father was telling him. it signals doubt in himself. This is radical, but there’s no doubt in faith. I believe Jesus knew what His Father wanted him to speak and he spoke it as led by the Holy Spirit. i don’t know and we don’t know that he prepared it. it is going outside the bounds of scripture. whenever i am preparing how to impart Gods truth, it’s always because i am relying on myself alone and haven’t been led by God. i am not trusting God to give me the words. it i think it’s best to know God’s Word through His Word vs. through a movie or tv series which can get you to forget or doubt God’s Word. but yet, i see how this series can draw someone closer to God. so, i don’t reject what is being done through this series.

@@emlih1898 100%. And I know Spirit-filled preachers today who never plan what they're going to say, they just start speaking and let the Holy Spirit lead them.

I don't necessarily agree with all of his takes or all scenes in the Chosen. But I am willing to make allowances if it means listening to these beautiful and amazing conversations. Also, I love the way Doug Huffman nods and smiles as he listens to Bishop Barron - and vise versa. It shows that Bishop Barron and Doug Huffman really respect each other as theologians.

We see Jesus knowing men's thoughts and knowing other facts in the world supernaturally. We also know he lived an authentic human life with all that attendant meaning. How those two seemingly contradictory positions can meld into a cohesive whole is a mystery that I doubt we mere mortals can fully grasp. We can know, however, that Jesus took no unfair advantage nor used his Godhood selfishly at any time. We must remember he voluntarily set aside his divine prerogative when called for and used it when needed. I have no issue with how Dallas has portrayed his humanity by showing him studying for his talk. But personally, I don't think that was necessary. How his two natures coexisted during his incarnation is a beautiful mystery we'll get to ask him about when we see him.

[@bransrubar]

It's possible that Jesus the Incarnate Human did not know everything automatically. It could easily be like on "Touched by an Angel." The Angels have supernatural knowledge when God wants them to, other times they discover everything just like a human. Frequently the show said, "You'll have what you need when you need it." We can't really know how the Incarnation worked until we ask Him in Heaven and even then, we may not understand it fully.

I wish you had allowed more of Bishop Barron's contributions to uninterrupted/uncut. It seems from the framing of this video that he was trying to say something that was ultimately edited into oblivion, to the point that we don't even get to know what he really wanted to communicate. I understand that the makers of The Chosen may disagree with the Catholic perspective -- but if you're going to claim we're seeing a roundtable about something controversial, it would have been better to actually see the controversy: allowed to see a full conversation in which genuinely different opinions were heard (not just cut and edited to sound as if differences of opinion here aren't really significant/grounded in good reason). Not potentially cut out anything that isn't affirming of the creative choice that was made by the show. (Which, maybe the Bishop wasn't even going to critique that, and personally I think there's a perfectly good argument that can be made for the way The Chosen presented things. But I also think there's a perfectly good argument *against* the way The Chosen presented things, and it sounded as if Bishop Barron might be trying to articulate that -- but his comments were cut/edited so severely that we didn't get to benefit from it.)

I think the thing that I struggled with was not even having to do with any of the talking points in this video. I thought the nuance applied to the scriptures through the display of Christ’s humanity it’s displayed beautifully. But I struggle with the *idea* of “sermon prep” in the context of an ancient Hebrew rabbi like himself. When I read the sermon on the mount, I hear a man fully filled with the Spirit. He was able to discern the hearts of man, and understand the things they *needed* to hear. Have you ever been led by the Spirit, to say the EXACT thing you needed to say to someone? It’s like that, but without sin. I just think the idea of “sermon prep” as we know it today is a very Western, intellectual perspective on preparing to preach good news. We need to study context, original language, theology, doctrine, genre, etc. just to get to the place of faithful exegesis, so that we can say the “right” things in the “right” way. But this is not what Jesus was doing here. Jesus didn’t preach like we preach. His “sermon prep” was being among the people, praying with the Father, and being Led by the Spirit. (This is just where I land. And like you, Dallas, I say with all humility that “I can not say with certainty what Jesus did or didn’t do,” but only speculate.)

well put. Jesus was a man, but a wholly different kind of man than us. SINLESS. A teacher today must prepare his words but Jesus spoke from his Divine nature. He said I and the Father are one. The scene in the Chosen has Jesus stumbling around looking for the right phrases to say as if he were a songwriter as if He was divinely inspired but was coming up with the Salt metaphor on His own.

One moment specifically that made me pause was when the sons of thunder wanted to call down fire from heaven, just because a few samaratans disrespected them. In the gospels, it is that the samaratans had rejected Jesus after having accepted Jesus as Messiah. Here, they didnt do that, and the whole village was never shown doing that. I don't know why they chose to do that in the series.

So cool to see Bishop Barron a part of this.

[@brucebarber4104]

I agree! I hope they release the entire discussion soon. I could listen to Bishop Barron all day.

[@andyraines9651]

I am filled with an excitement as I learn more about this wonderful show. I am very pleased to hear that it has inspired people to learn more about Jesus and to search the scriptures for themselves. I wonder if Jesus would not have been more spontaneous and ever present in His sermons. I honestly do not know but I wonder if Matthew 10:19 gives us a clue. Either way I sincerely pray that that anyone who endeavors, in this wicked day and time, to share Jesus with a lost and dying world would be blessed!!!

It's nice to have various points of view (Catholic and Protestant), but why not invit an Orthodox priest or bishop?

[@kurtn652]

Because they are false Christina's like the Catholics. Keep reading your bible. This will become obvious

[@DJNightchild]

@@kurtn652 We as Catholics are indeed not Christina's, you are absolutely right. We are Christians.

[@madgiemadgie9128]

@Kurt N, please tell me, this Bible you are referring to, how did it come into existence?Who decided on the books? And how come Christians existed and practiced the faith a good 150 years plus before the Bible? Once you begin to retrace your steps, you will see understand the words of convert Cardinal Newman ...” To be deep in history, is to cease to be a Protestant”. Catholics are not a Christian denomination.. we are THE common denominator. Ask God to show you the Fullness Of Truth. You have nothing to lose.

This is why I immediately accepted and was completely comfortable with the concept of Jesus preparing for his sermon: mainly because I saw the significance of Jesus choosing Matthew to “help” him. Matthew had not too long ago expressed how he felt outside of the “circle.” This could be a healing quality time with Matthew. A deeper and impactful connection with Matthew is being made, which would have somehow had to have happened back then (biblical times) in some way. This also enables Matthew to use his mind for good because for so long, he used his mind to participate in the severe oppression of the Jewish people. He admitted to Mary that he was a bad person. I can imagine that through these inclusive and accepting interactions with Jesus, he would begin to see himself as a good person, which could be part of the beginning of transformation and seeing himself as God sees him! And we know that ultimately Matthew uses his brilliant mind for God’s Kingdom. This is a great example of how there’s multi-dimensions and divine depth in what Jesus does - even if it doesn’t make sense. Well done The Chosen writing team!! 👏🏾

[@EldrickDonuts]

more bishop Barron!

[@lemuboyorcullo981]

It's amazing that bishop Barron is present. The catholic church is the only church founded by Jesus Christ himself. Therefore we should reach out to the authority of the catholic church to make our faith/life/goals concrete and fruitful. The reason why I'm saying this is because bishop Barron is literally giving these men a lecture.

[@leebrono2]

I take my hat off to Bishop Barron's patience in presence of so much self justification and nonsense.

[@williamchirinos1652]

Wow, this is why Jesus left a Church with teachers. With all due respect the pastor and Dallas are talking heresy and they don’t even know it. I hope Dallas stops taking so many liberties about Jesus human and divine nature, as it can lead people in the wrong idea of who Jesus is. Fully God and fully man.

[@kenbrager4475]

I interpretted the scene in the show as more of Jesus modeling, mentoring and teaching Matthew than struggling as to what to say.

[@bluegene1990]

Well done, but the reference about Jesus growing in stature and wisdom is from Luke 2:52, not John 14.
