James Cameron is making a documentary about Jesus and his wife and kid's remain, will this change christians?

Answer 1

Yer a funny guy.

Answer 2

Ask a Christian is it in the realm of possibility or probability that the bible they believe to be divinely inspired could be the primary work of man?

You will get a definitive no.. Then ask no more question because you are dealing with an delusional mind. What else would you expect for a mind that would accept faith as the basis of belief to fill in the gaps to validate a religion. What can not be explained is excused by the term faith.

Faith is a religious get out of thinking card.

Jesus was a man so it is likely he had a wife and family but that would not support the the delusions of religious belief. What the masses can't accept of a probable truth is presented in the form of fiction to get people thinking. There is enough dissension in the religious studies that gives thought Jesus possibly had a family.

I do forgive Christians for their ignorance. If I was indoctrinated or forced to believe from child into thinking a certain way I to would find it hard to have to give up my life's belief as well.

Answer 3

daf: No more than Micheal Moore changed New York City after 9/11 !!! All through history, records show attempt after attempt has been made to discredit, smear, cast doubt, and render the God-Being Jesus Christ as irrelevant for the human creation. Why would this era in history be any exception ? From the time the Jewish leaders conjured up the lie, that Jesus's disciples stole His body from the tomb, to cover for the resurrection of Christ from the dead - to the Da Vinci Code, the bottom-line is the same; get rid of God and then, ANYTHING goes in life. (It was prophesied to happen - and as usual - BANG ON !!! )

Answer 4

The remains are already being proven to be a very common family's with very common names. James Cameron will probably be called every name in the book by Christians, not believed. And I'm Pagan, but I think the research is just sloppy as hell, and the project is very sensationalistic.

Answer 5

No,because it's bunk.I am taking the word of the archaeologist who excavated the place,over the word of filmmaker.

It was actually discovered over 20 years ago,it's only now that people are paying attention to it.
The most popular names in that era for males were:
Simon
Joseph
Eleazar
Judah
John
Jesus
Hananiah
Jonathan
Matthew
Manaen/Menahem
The most popular female names for that era were:
Mary/Mariamne
Salome
Shelamzion
Martha

In that era,21% of Jewish women were named Mary!

There is no other DNA sample of Jesus or His family to compare the remains with!Allthe DNA proves,is that the ones in the tomb were related!

Jesus' family were not even from Jerusalem.Jospeh's home he grew up in was in Bethlehem,and Jesus and his family lived in Galilee.Why would they be buried in Jerusalem,where they had no connection?

There is absolutely no evidence supporting the idea that Jesus was married or had a child,biblical or non-biblical.

The ossuaries that mention Mary,do not have any other descriptive features.They simply say 'Mary'.

The 'James son of Joseph,brother of Jesus' ossuary,which the makers of this film used to try and back up their claim,has been proven to be a forgery.

The main scholar who is the source for the story does not think it is Jesus' tomb.

Says Bar-Ilan University Professor Amos Kloner,"..those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE and CE"

Prof. Amos Kloner, the Jerusalem District archeologist who officially oversaw the work at the tomb in 1980 and has published detailed findings on its contents, on Saturday night dismissed the claims. "It makes a great story for a TV film," he told The Jerusalem Post. "But it's impossible. It's nonsense." “"They just want to get money for it,"
Prof. Kloner said there was no way the tomb housed the Holy Family.
The senior Israeli archaeologist who thoroughly researched the tombs after their discovery, and at the time deciphered the inscriptions, cast serious doubt on it.
"It is just not possible that a family who came from Galilee, as the New Testament tells us of Joseph and Mary, would be buried over several generations in Jerusalem."

Kloner said the names found on the ossuaries were common, and the fact that such apparently resonant names had been found together was of no significance. He added that "Jesus son of Joseph" inscriptions had been found on several other ossuaries over the years."There is no likelihood that Jesus and his relatives had a family tomb," Kloner said. "They were a Galilee family with no ties in Jerusalem. The Talpiot tomb belonged to a middle-class family from the 1st century CE."

"Archeological evidence shows that chances of these being the actual
burials of the Holy Family are almost nil," said Motti Neiger, a spokesman for the
Antiquities Authority.


"Simcha has no credibility whatsoever," says Joe Zias, who was the curator for anthropology and archeology at the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem from 1972 to 1997 and personally numbered the Talpiot ossuaries. "He's pimping off the Bible … He got this guy Cameron, who made 'Titanic' or something like that—what does this guy know about archeology? I am an archeologist, but if I were to write a book about brain surgery, you would say, 'Who is this guy?' People want signs and wonders. Projects like these make a mockery of the archeological profession."

Stephen Pfann, a biblical scholar at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem who was interviewed in the documentary, said the film's hypothesis holds little weight. "How possible is it?" he said. "On a scale of one through 10 - 10 being completely possible , it's probably a one, maybe a one and a half."


The official report written by Prof. Kloner found nothing remarkable in the discovery. The cave, it said, was probably in use by three or four generations of Jews from the beginning of the Common Era. It was disturbed in antiquity, and vandalized.

In short,the archaeological world (and that of serious scholars) is laughing at this movie.They do not take it seriously,or believe in it,in the slightest.

Answer 6

And the Da Vinci Codes were real too. No they won't change my mind. Cause I would wonder where did anyone find the DNA of Jesus Christ? And then support that with the DNA I guess first the kids, and then the DNA of the wife?

Answer 7

I just find it interesting to see how Liberals consider it "enlightened" to attack Christians, in this case employing "archeological evidence" that the very archeologist who discovered this tomb believes to be false, but believe that it is improper to exercise our God given freedom of speech to criticize the violence that permeates Islam with political cartoons.

Also, did anyone else notice that James Cameron wore all black when announcing his intention to attack the very basis of Christianity??? I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Prince of Darkness when watching this.

Answer 8

Only if you believe in James Cameron!

Now, did Stephen Spielberg make you believe in ET!

Answer 9

Your question is phrased in one among those style that one gets the sensation that it fairly is all information to you. smart, knowledgeable human beings have popular for hundreds of years that the resurrection tale replaced into basically straightforward rhubarb and as on your different startling declare that Jesus had a son. ask your self!! Horror!! What a naughty boy he replaced into!!

Answer 10

I guess we are fixing to find out but it won't change me,I have a personal relationship with my Lord and that is all I need to know.
If someone found something about one of my best friends and tried to convince me,how could I be a friend if I listened to them.
That's the way I feel about it.I love Jesus he has been my big brother,best friend,Lord and Savior and I care what someone thinks they found? Even if they did I still love him.Nothing has changed to me.
