Jesus: Tales from the Crypt

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'll go see it, I'm sure. I saw the DaVinci Code and enjoyed it. It didn't affect my mind in any other way other than it was a couple of hours of a good film, well acted, well shot and well scripted. Anyone who goes into this a devout Christian and comes out of it doubting the Bible was just looking for a reason to do so, in my opinion. And, people who are confused have just as much right to have something to believe in as anyone who believes in the Bible, also my opinion. And, if it makes people think and discuss it and debate it, that's not *always* a bad thing, either.

I personally just see it as another film. I will be one who will more than likely pay six bucks to see it.

Oh, you don't have to waste your money to see it. It will be shown March 4 (I think) on the Discovery channel.

Is there any physical evidence that Jesus ever exsisted? I can't think of any. We have never found one piece of evidence that he existed except for the stories in the bible. By evidence I mean a cup, a cross, a garment, just stories someone put together which they call the bible. Nor have we found any evidence of Moses or others in the bible. Now don't get me wrong I do believe in Jesus but my friend doesn't. She asked me to show or tell her about a physical piece of evidence that showed proof, I could not come up with one. Can any one?

There are a few items at the vatican. I only remember slivers of wood from the cross he carried and a cloth that someone wiped the sweat from his face and his image remained imprinted. I wish I could remember more...but is it really that important?
I prefer to believe that he does exist, otherwise what are we doing here? And I would prefer to believe that we do go to a better place when we die.
As far as the movie, I think it's just another attempt to destroy the faith of those who do believe.

I don't understand this but like I said, people are getting healed out of no where on the christian chanel, if that's not enough to make someone belive than I don't know what is.

I mean there have been SO many true stories out there that prove there is somthing out there which I belive is God, angels, spirits and devils.

Belive it or not, this one family moved into a house with bad spirits, things kept getting moved around and smashed on the floor, so one day somthing happned and they wanted to move out .. when the man ran to the car somthing scratched his back when he opened the door, there was nothing seen behind him but when his wife checked his back there where deep scratches on it with some blood.

Yep. In a book called The Genesis Factor by Yacov Rambsel, he mentions a book called : The Archko Volume written in 1887 by Rev. W. D. Mahan. Rev Mahan went in seach for written evidence of Jesus. He went to the Vatican in Rome, Italy and to Constantinople, Turkey.

Among many writings, he found a letter written on a papyrus scroll to Caesar by Pontius Pilate dated about 31 A.D. following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Excerts from this letter are in the book The Genesis Factor. It includes Pilates description of Jesus, Pilates first meeting with Jesus, Pilates describtion of the mob at the crucifixion and the noise and darkness at Golgotha.

Pilate also quotes Ben Isham, a sentry at the tomb during the resurection.
It gave me chills reading that description!

Also, the Muslim's Holy book talks of Jesus and his Mother Mary too, I believe. There are several historians from that period who mention him too.

Also, the Vatican has a peace of wood that is supposed to have been from the cross and somewhere in Germany, there is a spear that is to be the one that pierced his side. Rumor has it, one of the nails from his hands or feet is encased now in the handle.

I do believe in Jesus always have, and I believe that he died on the cross for my sins. However proof of Jesus being a man there is, proof of his being a God there isn't. He could have been a man, with a good true heart who spoke to the people and gave them hope in a horrible time. People have always prayed to a God, be it a sun good, or a rain God. We need that, need to know that there is something beyond us, beyond this life, someone or something that can lead us, save us, heal us. There has never been a culture on this earth that didn't have their God or Gods. Was Jesus the sun of God, is there even a God, no one really knows for sure, we can only hope?

Argranade do you really believe that these faith healers have magical powers and heal people on TV? If they can do this, why don't they go to the cancer ward of any childrens hospital and heal those children. Why have I never seen one of these people in a hospital proforming ANY work? They certaintly want money. What need does a true healer of God have of money, he can proform miracles let him make money appear by magic.

No they don't have magical powers, the people do.

It's not magic but faith that's healing these people, those stand up people are only trying to make other people belive in God by laying there hands on there heads and saying you are healed, but if you listen there saying 'Do you belive?'' ... it's the faith in the people that is healing them selfs.

I don't realy understand whats going on but I do belive people are getting healed by there faith.

If you don't have enough faith miracles won't happen for you, no matter how much you cry or beg into the heavens.

The flesh is strong but the mind is weak.

If you want God to help you .. ask what you can do to help him first.

You don't have to be rich or poor to have a miracle happen to you, all you need is faith but even then that can't always be enough .... life is life & you just have to deal with it. The sick, blind & crippled people are put on this earth for a reason .. it's not Gods mistakes because God does not make mistakes as he is perfect.

I got my copy from Amazon.com. It's really a book about the Bible codes and Ramsel's research in them. The info about Pilate was just one surprise!
