The Chosen, then Bible Universe Mythologies

"And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (2 Timothy:4:4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
See All...).

The deception of The Chosen may just be the beginning. There’s the Marvel Universe, of course. But are we going to see a “Bible Universe,” with spectacular special effects and clever not-quite-biblical fables? The Chosen Inc., has hired Mark Sourian, former Dreamworks executive, as President of Production for an upcoming season of the show. Where could this potentially lead? 

According to Mark Sourian: "When you look at the Bible, not to sound crude, but it is a universe — not to describe it as the Marvel universe or the DC universe. But it is a universe with iconic figures and characters, and I include the Old Testament and the New Testament. There is a desire to tell a lot of different biblical stories, all of which are primal stories that have been told in one fashion or another, but have never been told specifically as they relate directly to the Bible."

Sourian also told web entertainment site Deadline: "…there’s a sense of an ever-increasing bandwidth for us to tell other stories that are about the Bible…So, I think my role and my title suggests a bigger universe and suggests the desire of The Chosen Inc. to delve into more of that.”

Christians seem hungry for biblical entertainment. The entertainment industry is hungry for Christian entertainment dollars. The Chosen series has misled many (and not just new or young Christians). Where would a Hollywood version “Bible Universe” take many of us?

“Far far away,” far away from the Bible. And please, no email about how screen interpretations of Bible stories and characters would help Christians. The Chosen has not helped the Body of Christ, has not honored the Lord, and neither will a “Bible Universe.”
