James Cameron is right now as I type this speaking a presentation about a documentary on his "enlightenment" that he has discovered the tomb of Jesus, the messiah and his wife, and son. What do you think about this?
I know what *I* think so I am not looking to be attacked. I am truly interested in YOUR opinion on it and what you think the ramifications of this information presented by Mr. Cameron could do to our world?
Thanks!

But Bar Ilan University Professor Amos Kloner, a former IAA archaeologist who oversaw the excavation 27 years ago and has authored detailed reports on the findings, said the IAA was "very foolish" to loan the ossuaries.
"There is no likelihood that Jesus and his relatives had a family tomb," said Kloner.
"They were a Galilee family with no ties in Jerusalem. The Talpiot tomb belonged to a middle-class family from the first century CE [Common Era]," he said.
During an interview with the film's producers, Kloner said that "Jesus, son of Joseph" inscriptions had been found on several other ossuaries in Israel, along with the other names.
"It makes a great story for a TV film," said Kloner, "but it's impossible. It's nonsense."
That about says it all....

This is not the first time anybody claims this discovery. The BBC did it about 10 years ago.
Is just an attempt to make it sound sensationalistic and sell. This is all this culture is about. Whatever they can do to put in doubt a belief dear to so many people will always be frivolous and attractive to the enemies of the faith. First the Davinci code, then the "gospel" of Judas, and now this. The fatc is that there will always be people triying to deny the divinity of Jesus, this is as old as Christianity itself. What is bad is that is occurring too frequently in the wetern world lately. If the west looses christianity, it will looose its strenght, of course this will never happen.
May God have mercy on us all

I knew Satan would get a namecheck here sooner or later. You'd think God could deal with that pesky Satan, wouldn't you...
Don't have an opinion but thanks for alerting me to it, I'll give it some thought. I'd be astonished if it's Christ & family, but I'll keep an open mind. As one person says, though, how can DNA evidence help in this case?

Satan likes to imitate and twist God's words. He's done it for years. And what always amazes me is people will believe the lie (IE Da vinci code) over the truth.
Time and time again I see this. So many religions are close to God's truth but they are twisted.
Satan is at work still isn't he?

Any chance they get to curse the name of Jesus and make a profit Hollywood seems to go for it.
Thanks for the heads up on this film...and I can tell you now this is one movie I will not be giving my money to...

I don't know enough about what he has found to weigh in on its credibility, but no matter what evidence or proof he puts forth, Christians will dismiss it as lies or falsehoods.
