I have long held the belief that we are litterally as a flock of sheep beying to every 'Word' laid before us in the name of 'The Lord' which we then absorb as 'Gospel Truth'. I can't allow myself to discredit the input of all theologens and scientist involved in the documentary. My conclution, based on the FACTS estabished during the program, is that the tomb is far more likely to be that of Jesus and his family than not! I accept that christians may still assert that the spirit of Chris accended regardless of where his body ended up. I however prefer to rely on factual evidence and in the entire history of man there is't a single case which presents proof of this phenomina! Are we humans completely incapable of releasing the fancyful ideas we have established in the name of religion? There is soooo much that needs to be said about religion in general but the bottom line is, don't dwell on what may or may not happen when we die (NO ONE KNOWS), concentrate on LIVING!

These are professionals. If science has determined these facts to be true, then it's a good chance it's true. In addition, there's more to the story then his flesh rose in three days. It's not mentioned if it was his fleshy body or his spiritual. A couple possible ideas on what might of happened: 1-Traditional: flesh rose and went to Heaven. (which makes no sense.)(He seems to have a strong dislike for any type of matter, but puts much love and importance upon the soul/spirit of people.) 2-Jesus' flesh did rise, but during the meeting with Mary in the garden, at the time he said he had to rise to Heaven, his flesh was left and his spiritual self accended. 3-His spiritual self rose, and shown himself to his diciples and whatnot, thusly proving his supernatural nature.

Jesus over came death to show that death is not real. If He left a body (which He didn't) then death would be true and eternal life and illusion. Take away the stories, the church, the pope, the dogma and the drama and all you are left with is, YOU and God. A Single relationship- Cause and effect. There is nothing else.

The producers probably wanted to capitalize on the recent phenomenom like the Da Vinci Code and all that stuff. They know they can ruffle feathers and make money doing it. However, I would encourage you (you may have already) to thoroughly examine the resurrection accounts. They are riddled with contradictions. They have Mary meeting Jesus both before and after she met up with the disciples, the disciples being told to stay in Jerusalem and also being told to go to Gallilee, amongst a plethera of others. But I appreciate your critical evaluation of the documentary - good stuff. Hi

I like how you turn to scripture and end with Jesus' own question, "Who do you say I am?" a question not to just anybody with an opinion, but to his disciples. God bless you -RED Great post.
