The Chosen's historical concerns — gender relations and sabbath fishing

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 7) 00:42:22 – 00:43:23

So this element may have historical plausibility. The show depicts Peter as ashamed of something, creating context for that shame.

No man left behind: Jesus died for all

Did Jesus’ death leave no man left behind that was not covered by His death on the cross? For many Christians who identify as Calvinists, the gospel includes the conclusion that Jesus died only for a select group of people who were predetermined by God before the world was created.
