‘The Chosen’ Creator Dallas Jenkins Responds to Voddie Baucham’s Claim That His Show Violates the 2nd Commandment
‘The Chosen’ creator Dallas Jenkins has responded to Dr. Voddie Baucham’s recent comments criticizing his hit TV show about Jesus as violating the second commandment, saying that while he ‘loves’ Baucham, he believes his take is ‘misapplied.’
We’ve written about Jenkins in the past, with our post ‘Dallas Jenkins Says Mormons are Saved: ‘I’m Going to Die on That Hill,’ the time Dallas Jenkins Doubles Down on Controversial Mormon Comments, Straight up Lies the Dallas Jenkins Affirms Mormons are Christians in ‘Definitive, Final’ Video’ and ‘The Chosen’ Director Says Jesus Transfiguration Not Important: ‘What Purpose Would it Serve our Story?’
Earlier this month, Baucham appeared on the Babylon Bee Podcast to discuss his recent appearance on Glenn Beck’s show. When host Jarret LeMaster made a passing comment about The Chosen, Bauchum said he didn’t watch it, describing it as a line of restraint that he draws and offering “2CV, man. Second Commandment violation.”
This prompted Jenkins to respond:
Using his logic and reasoning, however, there would be nothing wrong with Christians creating an image of Jesus the Son or God the Father depicting him as a golden calf, so long as it’s not worshiped or bowed down to.
That’s not a proposition we ever want to hold to or defend.
