Has anyone watched The Chosen? I'm waiting for season 3. I'm not a rabid fan, to be honest, but I am enjoying it.

It's a series that's streaming on its own app that's about the lives of Jesus and His apostles. They actually made Matthew, one of the two apostles who wrote the Gospels (possibly 3), autistic. Dallas Jenkins', the series' creator, says he made Matthew autistic because of the 4 Gospels, Matthew's is the most detailed. There are 2 seasons so far, and he wants to make 7. They're either in the process of filming season 3 or finished, I forget which.

Seems weak to me - Matthew didn’t write Matthew. The gospel was written in the late 1st century, long after the apostle is believed to have died, and used both Mark and Luke as base texts. I don’t think it makes sense to use the gospel to get an insight into the disciple.

But regardless, if you’re enjoying it then I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

Were the Gospels passed around orally before they were written down?

Actually yes. The invention of the printing press did wonders for Christianity.

"The Chosen Season 3," Is An Interesting Topic; i Don't Watch (Thank God for Quicker-Wiki-Cliff
Notes) Too Much 'Tube,' Unless i'm Driving And There is NO Way Really to Write, Direct, Produce

And Actually Act my Own Plays Of Life; In That Case, i Actually Listen to the Stories of Others;

Diverse Indeed, From Sources i May Disagree or Agree With the Same As 'The Friction of the Night,'

Marrying it is
What Makes the

Day Merry the Most to me;

in Other Words, Letting Go of All the Dualities;
Recognizing the need For DarK and LiGHT Joining

The Two (And More) Forces of Muse ToGether For Most Inspiration

Now To Create And Produce, Even More, my Own Story to Act As i
Will Relatively in Free Will With That Much Free Agency AcTuaLLy Do...

The Bible is A Fascinating Centuries Old Story Used Mostly As A Tale

to Sing to Others in Prose And Poetry; However, one May Choose to Categorize

The Language

of the Bible;

True as Biblical Scholars
Show is Largely A Mix and Match
of Scripts 'Copied and Pasted Together'
Through Centuries of Unnamed Ghost Authors
Recently in New Testament Way of Greek Writing Romans

As True Some Input Provided By Innumerable Sources of Oral Tradition too
Decades After The So-Called Actual Events of New Testament Story Happened;

Yet It's True the Authors With the Pens Who Wrote So Rarely then in a Majority
By Far Illiterate World, Were Masters of the Craft And Revered for Their Rare
Talents Indeed;

Yes, For both
Writing and
Reading the
"Sacred and Holy
Mix and Match Scripts"
As Inspired By Others and

Changed by Mistake and on Purpose
by Mistake Prone and Spirit of Creativity
Inspired Scribes through the Centuries until

The Verses Were Numbered in the 1300's And Finally Bound
In Source of Book Print Rarely in the 1400's too; Yes True, It's

Really Impossible Now to Be Ignorant of These Basic Newer Age
Biblically Scholarly Findings Unless one Doesn't Open Up all the

Freely Available Resources, Open Source for Most All Now to Read;

No More Censoring
of Greater Truths
to Be Told
And Heard
to Day For At Least Most...

Well True, the Priest of the Catholic
Church i Visit is a Bit 'Square And Literal'
For His Interpretations of the Anthology of Biblical
Poetry and Prose and the Such, Using Apologetics for his

Literal Interpretations

Like 'John', Haha, Had to
Be 100 Or So Years Old
When the Actual John the
Baptist Wrote Revelation; Laughable
at Best, Yet i Keep Myself Mostly Silent As Ignorance

is one Human
Attribute
that
Often
Refuses to See;

And On Top of that the
Bishop Barron PR Dude for the
Catholic Church, A Modern 'Bishop
Fulton Sheen' on the Portable Tube As such
in YouTube Ways, Solves the Age-Old Problem of a Literal

Take on Every Word of the Bible as the So-Called Word of God

By Just Plain Old Telling the Truth that it is an Anthology of Poetry
By Unnamed Ghost Authors Expressing All their Struggles with Human
Emotions, Feelings, And Senses Through the Written Deep SouLeD HeARTED
SPiRiTED Original Poetic Free Verse coming Deeper Within as He Apologized for

Psalm 137:9, "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."
As Just A Poet Expressing Being Pissed off at the Opposing Tribe Not Really Meaning it Literally As such;

HAha,

Like Anyone
Knows What
is the Intention

of Millennial Years
Old Ghost Author Named Poetry...

Give Him Credit Though For Admitting
It Was Created By Run of the Mill 'Joe the
Plumber Fallible Human Beings,' Whether they Stutter or not...

Not So Much at the Church i Visit As The Priest there says Noah
Owns the 'Trademark Rainbow' And The So-called Gay Folks Have

Stolen it
Away from
God And Noah the Same...

Such an Ignorant View indeed;
Yet Again, Ignorance often Refuses to See...

Particularly, if Ya Wanna Keep a Priestly Job in
'Trump Town USA' Supporting a 'Devil for Real
Incarnate' and a 'Real Father oF All Lies' Still Adding
Up Past 30,000, Mistruths and So Much More Still Now...

And the Reason "The Chosen 3" Show is So Much on Topic Now
too is 45,000 Denominations of Christianity Believe they Have the Way of

The Jesus
Dude correct,

Including the
Orthodoxy of Christianity
in Russia Now too; As Yes,

Putin Has Been Named A Miracle
Worker of Christianity in that Country
too Establishing Many New Churches And
Encouraging Young Folks to Get Back to the Tradition

And The Chosen Way for Real in that Country's Iteration of Christianity too

And True His Morality And the Horrible Discrimination Against the LGBQT+ Community
Is 'Pope-Wise Similar' And Even Worse than the Top of the Roman Catholic Church; And Part

of Why he Fears
the 'Secular'
Ways now of

the West in
Influencing Sexual
Orientations He so Ignorantly
Believe are Against the Order of Nature
And His So-called Law of God in a 'Big Black Book' too

As Interpreting
The Poetry
and Prose
and Such the
Way He and Others
Care to do there for Political
Purposes as Christianity has HiSToRiCaLLY
Always Been Used for, Since the Roman Emperor
Constantine Consolidated it as Tool to Expand the Roman Empire too...

True, Even my Grandfather, An Irish Catholic Priest Privy to the Inner Workings
of the Papacy in Rome as Counsel There And eventually Priest in South Africa
And Gainesville in Florida and Taylor County Where i was One Generation Before

Seeded there too;
Yes, He Wrote a Book
Called "Behind the Dictators,"

Still Available Freely in the 'Creative
Commons' in PDF Form Showing How

Basically, The Papacy and the Catholic Church

Looked the Other Way in Mussolini And Hitler Ways too;

Not Much Different than the Support that Trump Receives from
the Pulpit too...

It's True, many
a Different 'Regime'

Both DarK and LiGHT
Has Chosen that Book of
Poetry and Prose and Interpreted

it in Ways For Whatever Way they May
Choose to Subjugate, Control, And Master Others
in Just another Vanilla Flavored Carrot and Stick Human Archetype Theme...

What Really Works Great is Convincing Folks They Get to Go to Heaven For Dying
In A War to Suit The 'Master's Needs Or the Enemy Gets to Burn in Hell Forever for
Killing Civilians too...

Or On the Other
Hand(s), Hurricanes
That Sponsor Warmth
In Ocean Winds And Waves

Become Sponsored By Evil and A Devil instead

Yet It's True that Warmth Helps Other Living Creatures
Who are Not as Nearly Subject to the Lies and Lies that become Truths
of Others Now

to them, Yes
So Ignorantly so...

There Are Good Parts
And Bad Parts of 'That Story';

What the Hell or Heaven Would Anyone
Expect for a Millennials Year-Old Book;'

Just another Anthology of Human Poetry and Prose and the Such...

One thing for sure, Humans As Science Shows Are Not Rational at Core...

Our Emotions, Feelings, Senses Come First; Our Reasons We Make that at
Best Are Devoted Servant, Cultivate the Positive Parts of our Inner Life Within...

Or On the Other

Hand(s), We aRe Ruled
By the Stories of Others;

WeLL It's True More People
Can Read and Write Their Own
Bibles, Direct them, Produce them;

And Act their own Stories of Life for Real,

Of Course unless they Lose Their Attention Spans
And Focus and All the Upcoming Mozart's, Beethoven's; And
Partly Fictional Characters Like Buddha, Lao Tzu, And Jesus

Are Still Sitting at the Bus Stop Playing A Mindless Game of Candy Crush
or Browsing their Facebook News Feed The Same Way With No Forrest Gump

Story At All
to Relate about
Their Lives to the

Nice African American
or Other Petal of the Humankind
FLoWeR Sitting Next to them Free Reading Their Own

Magazine of
Life or what

Someone
Else Provides too...

The Good News Now

Is some of Us Are Freer than
Ever Before, Just Inhaling Peace
Exhaling LoVE iN JoY oF LiGHT,
Giving, Sharing, Caring, Healing For Free

Naked, Enough, Whole, Complete Leaves

Who Are Green to Brown Feeding Living Trees
And Soils Of New Spring Souls Same And Differently True

Yet That's An Old Story Now; The Challenge is to be As Originally

Creative as
Every Breath

Is A Birth of
A new Multi-Uni-Verse Within

Or the Same Old Damned and Blessed Book...

Choices We Make or Do Not; This and That's Still Life,

i Choose to Write, Direct, And Produce AND ACT
My Personal Bible and Story of Life i Originally

Create Yet It's

True, Letters of
Before Create Words
of Now Just As Leaves
of Before and Seeds Create New Living Trees of Change too...

Honestly, It's Been Thousands of Years, Can't Anyone
Improve on that Old Bible;

Well of Course they Have;

They Always Have For

Every Breath is a

Newer Testament
of Life Now New, Whether

We Recognize the Reality of
Change or Not, Change is the

Real Chosen one For Real

Eternally So Now
At Least

As Perhaps

When it ALL Goes Away
Change Becomes SaMe
Until Change As God Comes
Back For Real ALL OF US AGaiN...

Yawn, Please Do
Improve on What
i Do With my Story too...

Anyway, For Now Got Another
Bus Stop to Attend to Next as
The Feather Becomes the Wind With No Separation Again...

And It Doesn't Matter if 'the Entire Audience' is Reading Another
Magazine, Each and Every One As True This is what Change Does
Breath to Breath

For Real Now...

So It's True,
Might As
Well Do Our Own Stories Newer Now...
All the Gospels of Our Lives DarK Thru LiGHT..:)

I mean.....did Matthew convey his experience with Jesus orally-----then did a person or persons who heard Matthew speak of his experience with Jesus directly or indirectly decide to write down what (Matthew) said?
