“Titanic” attack on Resurrection

World Net Daily carried an article with the above title in yesterday’s edition:

The Oscar-winning director of Titanic has apparently produced a documentary suggesting Jesus wasn’t resurrected, was married to Mary Magdalene, and had a son.

The film produced by James Cameron, entitled “The Lost Tomb of Jesus,” claims that the discovery of 10 stone coffins in a Jerusalem suburb in 1980 is actually the family crypt of Jesus of Nazareth.  [Note: what they found were actually ossuaries, not coffins.]

The 90-minute film will be shown on the Discovery Channel, airing March 4 at 9:00 pm ET.  The film makes the case that Jesus had a son named Judah with Mary Magdalene.   The corresponding book is entitled The Jesus Family Tomb, co-authored by the film director Simcha Jacobovici, with the forward by Cameron.  Harper Collins is promoting it’s release as I write.

Read the World Net article HERE.  It was discussed last Friday at the TIME magazine blog HERE.

Is this for real??  James White responds in two posts, HERE and HERE, with some additional background.

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.  (1 Corinthians 15:13-14, NASB).
