Then I guess no one is interested in Moses' bones, which I have in an old Maxwell House Coffee can in my garage...

The Discovery Channel has just started advertising showing this debacle. As I don't watch much of that channel I won't make too much difference when I dont' happen by while this is showing.
(I've already seen the pix of the box)

As someone said on Fox last night, they can't even prove who is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, and there they have the baby, the mom, many dads, and a body, all nice and new and some of them still alive and pictures and records and everything.
But they know Jesus was in that grave 2000 years ago, even without a modern evidence trail.

Larry King's already proclaimed this "the end of the road for the Easter Bunny".
Really. I'm not kidding.

Satan will go to great lengths to do away with the preposterous idea that Jesus was the Son of God, died on the cross, resurrected and ascended into Heaven...body and all.
Screwtape would be proud of our Media.

This "Geraldo Moment" of Cameron's will keep him in the public's eye for quite some time - he's just another Hollywood Liberal meddling with something he doesn't understand.
Faith, Salvation and the Hope of Man aren't found in a burial box; I hope he learns that one day.

I mentioned this in a previous thread about the but, the more I see about the "science" behind this alleged documentary the more I am reminded of Steven Wright's story of about a friend of his who spent an "amazing" amount of money to discover who built the pyramids. After many years of research his friend finally concluded that "he was pretty sure it was some guy named Eddie."

It's already been reported that the writing on the boxes is so illegible that it can't be said for certain what the inscription reads.
I'm not sorry he's sinking his credibility, Cameron made a pretty good movie with True Lies, but I swear he's been on a down hill run ever since. I don't care how much teenage girls liked Titanic it's not even mention anymore when people talk about great films. it was an over long ego stroker for the director.

In an upcoming Discovery Channel special, Cameron claims to have found an ossuary containing the bones of Jesus. He didn't find it. This site was dug up decades ago. There are six coffins, but only three sets of bones. The guy who did find the site has called Cameron's conclusions preposterous.

Just like the farce they tried to swindled people to believe of the true face of Jesus as some African looking man, and they took a skull of a first century man and did they silly puddy thing and made a face out of the man and tried to pass it off as the real face of Jesus.
And they say that Jesus did have long hair, and they tried to twist the scriptures were it says in one of Pauls books that it is a shame for a man to have long hair, I hate to tell them, but ? some orthodox Jewish men have hair lockets that are long.
They tried to tell us that the traditional view of how Jesus looked is wrong, and he didn't even have blue eyes.
I have seen Jews with blue eyes before.
In other words, they tried to pass off a " Politically Correct Jesus ".
Would it be to far of a stretch to believe that since Jesus was from Nazareth, that he could have made a Nazarene Convenient ? a Nazarene was not suppose to cut their hair, drink wine or have anything to do with grapes, and not to touch anything that is dead.
I know, I know, what about Jesus turning water into wine ?
I don't think there is any Bible accounts that Jesus drank wine, only turning water into wine.
And the issue of touching dead things, well,,, Jesus was God in the flesh, so that argument is mute.

Then I guess no one is interested in Moses' bones, which I have in an old Maxwell House Coffee can in my garage...Hey! That's exciting and novel!
Up to the very moment you posted, no one knew where Moses is buried.
Maxwell House? Good coffee. I'm sure Moses appreciates it.

Ok,, Ok I was wrong,,, Jesus did drink wine during the last supper, I had to correct my last post.
But ? perhaps ? Jesus made a Nazarene convenient before his public ministry ?

Ever notice these two things?
1) These people (Such as Cameron and Brown) who are fiction writers and admittedly not Christians can suddenly and with Media-Generated 'credibility,' attack and are said to "disprove" a faith that has survived much stronger opponents for 2000 years;
and yet,
2) When a Christian reads the CORRECTLY TRANSLATED WORDS, in context, of the Koran to expose the violence inherent in Islam, that Christian is instantly attacked as not being 'a scholar of Islam' and as such couldn't possibly know enough to say anything critical of Islam?
Can anyone tell me why (short of the American Media hating the Truth) there is such a blatant double-standard?
Seriously, is there any other explanation?
To: Prophet in the wilderness
The vow you are thinking of is a "Nazerite" vow.
Scripture says Jesus was a "Nazarene"
Different thing.
Good thinking, though. And I am impressed by your self-correction, it shows class.
Keep it up, we need the discussions...
