r at least he's trying to kill the story of Jesus' resurrection.

An upcoming 90-minute documentary directed by Jewish Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and produced by Titanic director James Cameron makes the startling assertion that Jesus was never resurrected -- a cornerstone of Christian faith -- and that his burial cave was discovered in the Jerusalem suburb of Talpiyot some 27 years ago. One more thing, Jesus fathered a son with Mary Magdelene.

Cameron and Jacobovici claim they have DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies on their side. And on Monday, Cameron will hold a press conference in New York to reveal three coffins that supposedly held Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene.

The 90-minute film will be shown on Discovery Channel, Britain's Channel 4, Canada's Vision and Israel's Channel 8.

It all does seem too very tidy and coincidental to find a whole family of peasants (at least just that generation of the family) with stone coffins listed by name, in one place, buried as wealthy people, and over 2000 years no one ever spoke or hinted of it. And in Jerusalem, many native people still casually acknowledge every place of any historical significance as if the events occurred last year.

"rape of a six year old baby"

Come on! This is just a legitimate cultural difference! He "married" her at 6 and only "thighed" her.. He didn't "consumate" the "marrage" until she reached puberty, which for her, came at 9 years of age.

Now he did "rape the Jewess," a daughter of a defeated Jewish foe...

"Someone should ask him why he's afraid to ofer up a film about Mohammad"

Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.

Accursed is pretty heavy duty.

Not to defend the Muzzies, but they may be just as mad as we are about this tripe.
They believe the Jesus was a prophet. They got mad at Madonna when she did that thing on her concert tour.
But I wish that someone would do a Docum about Mohammed...

I'm surprised he has time for this foolishness. Doesn't he have a future ex wife to cheat on or somethin?

Jesus came from an artisan family. Stonemasons (or carpenters) were not peasants. They were the middle class of that day.

Too tidy, yes. If the Jewish ruling class debunkers had done this, it seems weird, given everything else they said, that the site wasn't well known. If the disciples and followers of Jesus had known about this and were basing their gospel upon the resurrection of Jesus, it seems inconceivable, given the presence of a strong Jewish following of the Way in Jerusalem, that they would have so boldly labeled everything that they would have wanted to conceal at the very thing they knew the Jewish ruling class was so eager to publicize. Besides, the origin of Mary M as the wife of Jesus is of more recent origin in the Gnostic gospels. There was nothing in the contemporaneous literature to suggest it. This whole thing seems designed to give support to a more current, and less supernatural, myth that a lot of people are eager to believe. Maybe it was something concocted by Gnostics after the fall of Jerusalem that they could point to to support their contention that Jesus never died on the cross.

Thre is only one place "Mr" Cameron could possibly get any DNA from Jesus,and that particular piece of cloth is under control of the Catholic Church.And I don't remember anyone in the Church giving him permission to even look at the cloth. I'd love to be in line when his turn at the Judgement comes up.

God always has the last laugh in these situations. I don't know why the militant athiests even bother to try any longer.

Check out this paragraph from Drudge Report link:
Jodi Magness, associate department chair of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told Discovery News that, based on the New Testament writings, "Jesus likely lived during the first century A.D."

That has got to be one of the funniest (also insert word stupidest) things I've ever read in my life.

[Bahbah]

LOLOL.

Jodi, we need to talk.

Cameron and Jacobovici claim they have DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies on their side.

Wow, I didn't even know we *had* Jesus' DNA for comparison. I wonder if they've checked yet to see if he's the father of Anna Nicole's baby?

there is a press conference for the coming show.

If you have any articles on the 2004 find of the supposed
"James Ossuary" we'd appreciate a link to it.

This presser is one dog and pony show to remember.
