"THE LOST TOMB OF JESUS", two hour program, followed by one hour critical review of same, Discovery Channel, March 4, 2007.
Is the bodily ascention of Jesus in difficulty???
I learned about a half dozen new pieces of info, noted about a half dozen statements by the filmmakers that were wrong IMHO, and noticed about a half dozen issues which definitely deserve more research and/or critical discussion.
What is your "take" on the program and the review?
While long part of Christian traditions, writings, and creeds, is the "truth" of the ascention a necessary component of Christianity? I know one "thinking Christian" who has long questioned the ascention, fears it to be an early theological exaggeration, and considers it to be unnecessary to his personal, sincere and devout faith. Your thoughts?
That we MIGHT now have the mitochrondial DNA of Jesus should produce a couple of decades of "bloodline" DNA research.

No response to the immediately above?
On 3/6, ABC's "Outsider" program travelled with a Puerto Rican claiming to be "The Second Coming"/Jesus, with the same Holy Spirit as the first, different body. He grew up in a terrible slum area, did hard drugs, was serving 9 months in prison when he was privately visited by two "angels" (speaking different languages) in a "vision".
He now claims millions of followers in 7 countries, saying that because of the First Coming, God eliminated sin and that Satan no longer exists; commiting murder is a crime punishable on Earth, but is not a sin and the murderer will be welcomed by God. He personally smokes and drinks hard liquors, but no longer does drugs. After a divorce ("God approves divorce"), he filed for a divorce from his second wife, but there's been a reconciliation. A previously rejecting daughter has also reconciled and holds a key position in his organization. He's often in the company of beautiful, female believers and is constantly socializing and partying, including proselytizing in bars. His believers say that he is God, that God wants everyone to enjoy life, and that - since God parties - so should they.
The impression was that most of his converts are ex-Catholics. He said that the Roman Catholic Church has been lying to it's faithful for two thousand years.
Any opinions?
