Truth vs. Tradition: A Critical Look at 'The Chosen'

For anyone not aware, it's still for Today. Yeah, I would say they embody universal principles that absolutely apply Today.
Ever wondered if popular religious media aligns with biblical truth? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson dives into the debate surrounding the series 'The Chosen'. Peterson reviews a YouTube interview that argues against watching 'The Chosen' using two biblical reasons, but he takes it a step further. He believes the real issue isn't just falsehood versus tradition but falsehood versus truth itself.
The episode challenges listeners to rethink how traditions can sometimes be as misleading as the false teachings they aim to combat. Peterson debunks the common religious notion of a three-part division of the law, emphasizing that engaging with any part of the law obligates one to follow the entire law, not just its moral aspects. He stresses the importance of the New Covenant and why it's crucial to avoid 'The Chosen'.
The episode also delves into the prohibition of visual depictions of the divine and warns against idolizing religious traditions. Quoting John Calvin, Peterson reminds us that our hearts are 'idol factories', urging a return to scriptural truths for genuine transformation. This episode is a compelling mix of raw authenticity and deep analysis, making it essential listening for anyone grappling with the intersection of faith and media.
