cyberdude611 -> Cameron's Jesus documentary draws controversy (2/27/2007 9:35:18 PM)

(Jerusalem-WABC, February 26, 2007) - Archaeologists and clergymen in the Holy Land derided claims in a new documentary produced by the Oscar-winning director James Cameron that contradict major Christian tenets.
"The Lost Tomb of Christ," which will be shown on the Discovery Channel on March 4, argues that 10 ancient ossuaries, small caskets used to store bones, discovered in a suburb of Jerusalem in 1980 may have contained the bones of Jesus and his family, according to a press release issued by the Discovery Channel.
One of the caskets even bears the title, "Judah, son of Jesus," hinting that Jesus may have had a son. And the very fact that Jesus had an ossuary would contradict the Christian belief that he was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
