The one fact that the historians will not touch is the Resurrection which makes Christianity different then any other religion. We have a risen Saviour, all other religions follow dead teachers. (1Cor.15)

BTTT

2nd Timothy 2:8

Maranatha!

(Romans 10:17).......not by BBC/TV......movies)

Josephus, a Jewish historian and non Christian wrote about Jesus.

[Uncle Vlad]

Yep, I can see how that peace and love thing would really upset people.

[GarySpFc]

G.A. Wells is the leading advocate of the Jesus didn't exist school. Wells is a retired German teacher and wannabe theologian. You can find an analysis of his theory at: http://www.errantskeptics.org/G_A_Wells.htm.

I'm gonna go see it! I want to know exactly what the enemy of Our Lord is training up innocent teens and young (non-believers) into excepting as okay!

I'd recommend to all, God fearing, Bible believers to see this film, so that they are prepared to give an answer at work, and other times. This is Satans tool, why not keep one up on the ol' serpant, and know some of it's tricks!?

[Uncle Vlad]

Oh, c'mon now, Josephus? You know perfectly well that he wrote nothing but fiction, like that story about Masada. Never happened. (sarcasm off)

[CourtneyLeigh]

Well, see. You see the peace and love thing. Many who don't go to the Lord;E.G. Atheists, agnostics, and heretics aren't stupid, they are ignoring the light of the Lord, for it shines onto them, showing their sins. It judges them, and gives them a chance to be whole in Christ.

But many people, too many are enjoying "The pleasures of sin for a season" What they don't know, is their season will end before they get a chance to recant their lifestyles!

[Uncle Vlad]

"Secularism" is becoming the religion of the Left. It has a very simple dogma: America is always wrong, big government is the only solution, and the only other religion that secularism tolerates is Islam, because radical Islam hates America, too.

[CourtneyLeigh]

Don't forget mysticism.

E.G. Eastern Religion (chinese, japanese, india, etc). These are highly accepted and practiced by millions of americans. Even christians.

Yoga, Chinese Good Luck, Eastern Meditation. You'll see it everywhere, it's even in the linen department at your local store. You'll not see any crosses or scriptures or things depicting Christianity, unless you walk into a church or Book Store.

This film would have received high marks in the Stalinist Soviet Union and Red China during the late 40's and the 50's era. It's probably one of the 527 Marxist socialist atheistic Democrat Party fund-raising operatives that's making this possible. Poison the minds of the stupid government 'educated' useful idiots.

Tell a big lie long enough........

[Cronos]

There are no credible non-Christian references to Christ during the period in which he is said to have lived

hmmm.. then what about the Roman stories complaining about the man Jesus who was stirring up trouble in Judaea-Galilee and whose followers were doing the same

[ThomasMore]

Bump for later!

[The KG9 Kid]

"... I hope Christians ignore it and don't give it publicity it doesn't deserve.

I'm predicting dozens of FR threads about the movie, some of them numbering 3000+ replies. Someone will post a picture thread of a little band of fellows FReeping the movie theatre.

Now taking bets.

[Cronos]

hmmmm... if anyone made even a non-fictional documentary on Mohammesd's life (padeophilia et al), he'd have his throat slit. We don't do things like that. Hmmmm.... are jihadis so bad after all?

[klute]

This theory generally includes the supposition that Paul was the one who invented Jesus.

[djf]

One might chose to discount Josephus.

But then, there is Tacitus, who says:

"But not all the relief that could come from man, not all the bounties that the prince could bestow, nor all the atonements which could be presented to the gods, availed to relieve Nero from the infamy of being believed to have ordered the conflagration, the fire of Rome. Hence to suppress the rumor, he falsely charged with the guilt, and punished Christians, who were hated for their enormities. Christus, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius: but the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time broke out again, not only through Judea, where the mischief originated, but through the city of Rome also, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their center and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind."

Tacitus, ANNALS

He was a Roman historian who had no agenda except to document what had happened.

There are also a number of apocryphal gospels that provide much evidence.

LOL
Funny . . . . .

Bump.

The first stages of arrogance include behavior which denies what God provides. Later stages of arrogance actually attack what He has provided in an attempt to counterfeit and openly defeat God.

Neither effort in arrogance provides life.
