Mel Gibson under attack for Jesus film?

Jan. 15, 2003 - Mel Gibson's latest film is about the suffering and death of Christ. He believes that is the reason a reputable reporter from an unnamed publication has been dispatched to "dig up dirt" on him. He says the investigation has obtained information from his friends, family, and business associates. He doesn't like it, but says he has already forgiven them, presumably like Jesus would do. He said:

"He died for all mankind. He (Jesus) suffered for all of us. It's time to get back to that basic message. The world has gone nuts. We could all use a little more love, faith, hope and forgiveness."

Scholar Touts Oldest Link to Jesus

Oct. 22, 2002 - A burial box, dated by archaeologists at A.D. 63, has recently been discovered in Israel. It may be the oldest archaeological link to Jesus Christ. It's inscription, in the Aramaic language, is "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus."

Andre Lemaire, a specialist in ancient inscriptions at France's Practical School of Higher Studies, has published his findings in the November/December issue of Biblical Archaeology Review.

The drama, called "Scrooge and Marley," will be aired this Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Faith: Historians say Resurrection a reality

Apr. 11, 2001 - Acording to UWE Seimon-Netto, UPI Religion correspondent, many modern historians, applying their approved methods to reconstructing history, are concluding that the evidence for the resurrection is very credible, and that if it were not true, the disciples would never have gone ahead with their evangelism.

In fact, The late Pinchas Lapide, a Jewish New Testament scholar, said:

"This band of disciples was beaten and weary. Yet almost overnight it transformed itself into a victorious faith movement," he wrote.

"If this had occurred simply on the basis of auto-suggestion and self-deceit, it would have been a much greater miracle than the Resurrection itself."

The Crucifixion is confirmed by at least one undeniable secular source, the Roman historian Tacitus (55-120 A.D.). He wrote that the "founder of this sect (the Christians) was executed during the reign of (emperor) Tiberius by the Governor Pontius Pilate" (Tacitus, annals XV).

Luke and Paul wrote their letters at a time that their claims could be easily tested, and there is no historical reason to believe that their evidence was disproved by their contemporaries.

The article ends with the conclusion of one historian, William Lane Craig, "The resurrection of Jesus is the best explanation for the origin of the Christian faith."

Is He Risen?

Apr. 11, 2001 - Hal Lindsey's article explores the proof of Jesus' Resurrection using Simon Greenleaf's standard known as "The Laws Of Legal Evidence." Greenleaf was the head of the Harvard Law School for some 30 years.

After a thorough study, Greenleaf concluded that Jesus' resurrection was supported by better and fuller evidence than any other event of antiquity. He wrote a book on his investigation called "The Testimony of The Four Evangelists," which is still available in most University legal libraries.

"The procedure in the case against Jesus was replete with legal irregularities, and the death sentence of crucifixion ordered by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate was unjust. According to the law of the first years of the 1st century, Jesus Christ should have been absolved."

BBC unveils hi-tech Jesus

Mar. 28, 2001 - The BBC will offer a new documentary about the life of Christ, starting April 1. The highlight of the series will be a computer-generated image of Jesus.

Source:BBC

Warning: This series may be carefully crafted to make viewers think the producers have a open mind and desire to find the truth about Christ, but it will most likely be designed to cast doubt on the Biblical account of Our Savior. Media sources, including our country's Time/Life empire, consistently use the Easter season to promote the skeptical intellectuals' "search for the historical Jesus." This type of program usually provides excuses for people who don't really want to believe in the Jesus of the Bible.

Who Is The Real Jesus?
Sky Angel to carry live debate featuring a comparative analysis of the Jesus of the Koran and the Jesus of the Bible

Oct. 18, 2000 - Sky Angel's Angel One (Channel 9701) Thursday, October 19, 7 to 10 p.m. ET.

The debate, taking place at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is one of many religious-based discussions sponsored by the Faith & Science Lecture Forum (FSLF), a small group of Christian professors who believe that the gospel is a viable world-view and can compete in the marketplace of ideas on America's university campuses. Who Is The Real Jesus will be airing via satellite on the campuses of some 50 large secular and Christian colleges and universities across the United States and Canada. Sky Angel is the only national television outlet airing this live intellectual meeting of the minds, the second FSLF-sponsored debate to air on Sky Angel. These discussions have historically been fed live to colleges and universities across the nation via C-Band satellite, but last year for the first time a FSLF forum entitled Is There Meaning in Evil and Suffering? featuring Dr. Ravi Zacharias was made available for home viewership via the Sky Angel satellite system.

The purpose for the upcoming debate is to illustrate that the Jesus of the Koran and the Jesus of the Bible are completely different individuals, said Dr. Jim Tumlin, founder and president of FSLF. Tumlin also hopes the debate will help to expand the knowledge of Christians and bolster the validity of their faith. "It's imperative that Christians regain the intellectual forefront in discussions within the cultural arena," said Tumlin. "Within the last 50 to 75 years, Christians have abandoned Christian intellectualism and refuse to engage in discussion of faith matters. When we abandon that position, we allow for the promulgation of world-views that are contrary to the gospel."

The debate will be moderated by Peggy Wehmeyer, ABC News Religion Correspondent. Representing the Christian viewpoint will be Jay Smith. Representing the Muslim viewpoint will be Shabbir Ally. Smith is a doctoral candidate in Islamic studies at London Bible College and Oxford University in England. An American whose parents were missionaries to India, Smith is considered the preeminent Christian debater in Islam. Ally is a former student of Jamal Badawi, professor of economics at St. Mary's University in Nova Scotia, Canada, who is considered the preeminent Muslim debater dealing in Christianity. Like Badawi, Ally is also an accomplished and experienced debater for Islam.

Scientists: Relic authenticates Shroud of Turin

Oct. 4, 2000 - While all other evidence points to the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin as the burial cloth of Christ, Carbon 14 dating has assigned it to the 13th Century. However, in Oviedo, Spain, recent extensive tests on another cloth, the Sudarium, or face cloth, gives further credibility to the Shroud of Turin. The location of The Sudarium has been known since at least the 6th Century. Recent scientific tests show that this cloth came from the same body as the Shroud of Turin. If this is true, the Carbon 14 dating is wrong.

Sept. 22, 2000 - The latest offering in the so-called "Search for the historical Jesus," is the book, "The Jesus Mysteries." The authors, Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy suggests that Jesus the man did not exist at all. They imagine that he was a variation on the mythological Osiris/Dionysus god-man theme. They claim that their view of Christianity strengthens their faith in themselves and makes it possible for Christians to unite with other religions.

Fonda becomes born-again Christian

Jan. 6, 1999 - Joseph Farah reports that part of the reason for the separation of Jane Fonda and Ted Turner (they both say they are still committed to the long-term success of the marriage), is that she has become a born-again Christian. The faithful witness of her chauffeur gradually awakened an interest in Christ, and she went to church where she is now involved in Bible study.

The idea of radical political activist Jane Fonda embracing Christianity is sure to create a stir. Fonda has been a high-profile political target because of her open support in the 1970s of Communist North Vietnam. She has been an outspoken supporter of abortion on demand, and Turner once attacked Christianity as a "religion for losers."

At a recent environmental conference she refused to meditate, and suggested that the participants would be well-advised instead to "pray to Jesus Christ."

The Followers of Jesus

After 2000 years, what good have they done?

Nov. 29, 1999 - By Martin E. Marty

From a handfull of followers to its present status, Christianity is the world's largest religion (with 2.2 billion - 33% of the Earth's population). Amid much good that has come from the Christian system, there are also dark chapters, such as the Crusades.

As they look at the portrait and the mirror, the ideal and the reality, one suspects that the honest realists among them will say that for all the enormous flaws in the record, the Christian venture has produced great human good and innumerable positive contributions to culture.
