"New attack on the resurrection"
Dear friends:
The apostle Paul wrote: "If Christ has not been raised, our preaching
is useless and so is your faith.... But Christ has indeed been raised from the
dead." (1 Corinthians 15:14, 20, NIV).
The devil's defeat and our own resurrection and eternal life are tied to the
fact of Christ's resurrection. Naturally, this resurrection would be a
prime target of Satan and his servants.
Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a massive new attack on the resurrection
via a 90-minute so-called "documentary" where producer Cameron and
his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected
-- the cornerstone of Christian faith -- and that his burial cave was discovered
near Jerusalem. And, they claim, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.
Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological
evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family.
Yeah, right.
See the TIME magazine article at

The devil thinks he is smart, but he is really stupid. Typically, this
will backfire on him and give many opportunities to give the evidence of the
reality of the resurrection of our Lord.
Still, such a bold, blasphemous and unprecedented action is further evidence
that the resurrected One will soon appear, to the total shock and chagrin of
His detractors.
