A confused Nate faces angelic warriors from The Chosen while a caller's Bible evidence backfires on Hebrews 7.

The Chosen’s Native American Angels?!? & Caller Says Jesus Sinned—His Own “Evidence” Destroys Him

What happens when a caller opens his Bible to prove Jesus sinned—and gets dismantled by the two verses immediately before the one he quoted? That is exactly what unfolds in this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast. Nate also wades into the week’s most heated cultural conversation: The Chosen Season 6 teaser showing angels depicted as Native American warriors, a creative choice that has sparked accusations of forced diversity and even speculative ties to Latter-day Saint theology. From there, the calls range from a former Muslim asking about papal authority to a challenger demanding Nate defend Christ’s sinlessness in a formal debate. The through-line? Scripture read in context settles what proof-texts try to distort.

Christ’s Sinlessness: The Biblical Bottom Line

The caller’s entire case rested on Hebrews 7:27 in the Amplified Bible, which says the high priest does not need “to offer up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins.” Read in isolation, it sounds like Jesus had personal sin. But the author of Hebrews spends the preceding verses establishing the exact opposite. Verse 26 calls Him “holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners”. The contrast is deliberate: Levitical priests sacrificed for their own guilt first, then the people’s. Jesus had no guilt to atone for, which is precisely why His once-for-all offering avails for anyone who calls on His name.

Native American Angels and the Anatomy of a Teaser Backlash

Nate’s take on The Chosen controversy lands somewhere between exasperation and bemused resignation. The teaser depicts angelic warriors in the Garden of Gethsemane with weapons and styling reminiscent of indigenous American cultures, prompting conservative commentator Jon Root to ask publicly, “Angels are Native American warriors according to The Chosen?”. Nate’s great-grandmother was full Cherokee—Granny Spear, he notes—so the objection is not about representation itself. It is about the suspicion that the choice serves an agenda rather than the text. Matthew 26 mentions twelve legions of angels available to Jesus. It says nothing about their wardrobe. The debate, as reported by ChurchLeaders, has also drawn speculation about LDS “Nephite” imagery, though no evidence confirms that intent. Sometimes a teaser raises more theological questions than the show answers.
