The blockbuster TV show The Chosen is set to be dubbed into 100 new languages and subtitled into 500 more, designed to expand its reach worldwide, according to a new group formed to further that end, which will “allow 95% of the people worldwide to experience The Chosen in their own, heart language.” 

The Come and See foundation has been “established by a group of passionate believers and experienced professionals to come alongside The Chosen to grow its reach and impact globally” Their goal is to “provide resources, technology, ministry connections and expertise to help The Chosen reach its goal of having a billion people experience an authentic Jesus through this series and related content.”

Their first order of business has seen them launch a new app, which lets users watch all three seasons for free. They also have “extensive relationships around the world with ministry partners who will be able to assist in getting The Chosen in places that traditional distribution channel partners do not pursue.”

While we haven’t written about The Chosen much, we have written about its creator, Dallas Jenkins, who does not understand the gospel and has steadfastly insisted that Mormons are Christians, despite having a different Jesus and a completely different gospel.

For a brief overview of the Mormon views on Jesus and other things, they believe that Jesus was once a regular sinful man who became exalted and turned into a God after doing many good deeds. ‘God the Father’ himself was also once a man on another planet, but because he likewise was such a good Mormon, he was granted the right to become a God over this earth. They believe that they too can become capital ‘G’ Gods of their own planet one day, and in fact, hold that there are millions of Gods. For them, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all and individual separate Gods, and they all have human bodies of flesh- they are not Spirits.

Mormons categorically deny the idea of salvation by grace alone and believe Jesus and Lucifer are ‘spirit brothers.’ They believe the scriptures we have are all corrupted and that’s why they have the new revelation of Joseph Smith.
