The Lost Tomb of Jesus

Randy previously posted that the Discovery Channel will present the documentary the Lost Tomb of Jesus on March 4Th. I do not want to make a bigger issue of this situation but I will be answering the claims in this documentary on Sunday Night @ Flux. Flux actually takes place before the program but much of the content was made available on the Discovery Channel website. Because of the subject this Sunday, Flux will be open to all ages that wish to learn more!

Why answer these claims? The reason is very simple. The college students that attend Flux must go to class on Monday morning with professors that will say " ah ha look there is the proof that your faith is foolish." To surrender our students to pseudo intellectuals who will propagate this message would be irresponsible of me as a Pastor. The goal of the message on Sunday night will not be to attack the director or producers of this show but to give and answer to the questions raised.

1 Peter 3:15
But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess.

I've written a comprehensive rebuttal of the films claims. Please read it and decide for yourself whether or not the film claims are solid or a hoax.

Personally, I think this is a big deal, and a big deal should be made of it.
Look how many people bought the DaVinci code story, and that was a novel. James Cameron is doing the exact same thing with the tomb. It scares me how many people are going to believe this as fact.
People see a documentry show, and assume it is fact (documentries are supposed to be facts aren't they? I really don't know the answer to this.)
It's great that you are going to discuss this!
