To keep fans of The Chosen up to speed, I have laid out all my concerns in Is God really the one behind ‘The Chosen’ as the creator of the series declares? So I’m not going to do that here. However, the answer to my question is a resounding No! How do I know this? Because the creator of The Chosen, Dallas Jenkins, struck up a partnership with a pseudo-Christian cult that calls itself The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, formerly Mormonism, to produce the series even knowing full well that in 2 Cor 6:14-15 Paul makes it clear that believers are not to have intimate connections with non-believers:
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God.
Why? Because believers and non-believers are polar opposites. Paul compares light with darkness. He asks, “What accord has Christ with Belial.” Belial in Hebrew means wicked or worthless. Belial and Satan are one and the same. So Paul was asking God’s beloved to look before they leap into a pile of rubbish. Since God’s people have nothing in common with the dark underworld, refrain from getting involved.
Being acutely aware that Dallas Jenkins was going against the teaching of Scripture, discernment bloggers set out to warn him of the dangers he was facing. Namely, yoking with a cult could have devastating consequences on him and his production. But we were not heeded. Instead he brushed us aside. To ensure that discernment bloggers got the message that he intended to pay us no mind, he came out and declared on a radio show that Mormons are saved! Moreover, he boasted that Mormons are his brothers and sisters: “I’m going to die on the hill of, we love the same Jesus, and we want the same Jesus known to the world.”
In the above-mentioned article, I revealed how Jenkins’ so-called brothers and sisters “cannot be true Christians for the simple reason that their view of the essentials of the Christian faith do not reflect historic orthodox Christianity – not even close! What they believe about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, the Atonement and Salvation, is not only unbiblical, but also pure fiction! And speaking of salvation, LDS Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. 1, p. 188 states that there is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet of God. So, it’s easy to understand the reason The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is a pseudo-Christian cult. Continue reading
Bear in mind, I always find problems with the way Republicans do things; I’m just saying that the worst Republican in Congress is exponentially better than the best Democrat. Also, there is no “best Democrat.”
(Protestia) Jordan Peterson has finally said the words Christians have been clamoring for and praying for him for years to say, “Jesus is God,” but given how he understands such a phrase, it doesn’t mean anything.
Mannina further revealed that he was participating in a “huge meeting with military leaders; in a very secure room called ‘The Tank.’” The Tank is a nickname for the Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference room which is a (SCIF), a Compartmentalized Information Facility.
“Several former chiefs with deep experience in LAFD tactics said most of the more than 40 available engines could have been pre-deployed to fire zones before the Palisades blaze started, while others were kept at stations to help with the increase in 911 calls.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) A deeply antisemitic, pro-Hezbollah imam is set to give a benediction at Trump’s inauguration next Monday, and many Trump supporters who had been happy to see Trump’s repeated affirmations that he would support, not betray, America’s ally Israel are now scratching their heads. What’s going on? Was this just an oversight, a failure to vet the Dearborn Imam Husham al-Husainy properly? Or does it herald a real policy shift in the incoming Trump administration?
John Abatzoglou, a climatology professor from the University of California, has studied 30 years of wildfires in Los Angeles County. After examining the data, he was unequivocable: “More than 95% of these [California fires] are human-ignited fires.”
10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how devoutly and righteously and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers; 11 just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and bearing witness to each one of you as a father would his own children, 12 so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory. 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (LSB) 
“Together with Obama’s red-line bluff on Syria’s chemical gas use, his backing down to Putin on the annexation of Crimea, Biden’s buffoonish Afghanistan withdrawal, and demonstrably counterproductive if not cynical efforts to undermine Israel’s successful campaign against the terrorists, has all left the Democrats looking weak and incompetent not just to voters but the world’s worst actors.”

“Newsom asked Biden, who was in the Oval Office sitting behind the Resolute Desk with Jill Biden and Kamala Harris in the room, to clamp down on the hard questions.”
‘The wildfires have laid bare a troubling mix of incompetence and corruption at both the state and local levels, with leaders more focused on self-preservation than addressing the crisis. Crowley’s fire department has faced sharp criticism for prioritizing DEI initiatives over essential readiness and preparedness, while Bass has been under fire for her leadership failures and controversial budget cuts.’
“Evidence uncovered by House Republicans and Just the News in the intervening years show that, in fact, there is significant documentary evidence that Hunter Biden and his father engaged in an influence peddling scheme in Ukraine while the younger Biden was serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.” 
“Cardinal McElroy, 70, strongly supports Francis’ priorities on refugees, the environment, and welcoming LGBTQ Catholics. He will succeed Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 77, who was the first African-American Archbishop of Washington, DC. He’s in the right place. D.C.’s a sewer of communism.”
“The Corinthians’ accusation that Paul was “walking according to the flesh” sounds like the classic super-spiritual response we tend to make when we don’t want to be challenged by something. “Ah, you are being too bold, that’s ‘worldly’; instead, be spiritual, be gentle, be meek. Leave me alone.” Often this can just become a convenient excuse to not face up to the challenge.”
“Wildfires are tearing through Southern California as we speak, leaving devastation in their wake. People are losing their homes, their livelihoods, and in some cases, their lives. This is not the time for identity politics.”
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Judge Juan Merchan has sentenced President-elect Donald Trump in a New York NDA case (the so-called “hush money” case). The sentence is an unconditional discharge, which in essence is a sentence in name only.
“Soros has spent upwards of $22 billion to achieve his vision of an “open society,” free from traditional societal structures like borders, national identities, and religions.”
