“ISSUE” POST!!! HOT About “Jesus Family Tomb”

I have learned MUCH from living among Muslims in Jordan about faith. First, I learned I am a wimp. In the US, we have turned this right, ‘freedom of faith’ into ‘freedom FROM faith’. People get offended by a bible on a desk, the name “God” on money, the word “Christmas”. So in order not to offend, I shut up about my faith. Imagine my shock when I moved to Jordan and found I have more freedom to talk about God than in the US. The second thing I learned was: if I wasn’t willing to debate at the same level of intensity about my faith as my friends were about theirs, my faith was wimpy.

Third thing I learned: faith is worth fighting for. Some Muslims have taken this way too far, as we all know well, but I have marveled at their willingness to defend their faith and prophet in the light of much scorn. Puts me to shame as I just sigh over the latest attempt to discredit through media and federally funded art exhibits, the One most dear and precious to me, my greatest treasure, Jesus Christ. Muslims helped me find my voice – thanks, guys .

So, be warned. If you don’t want to hear from a passionately devoted follower of Jesus Christ,who is more than a little ticked, it’s time to click.

OK, James Cameron and JFT folks. Thanks for at least acknowledging that He lived. I’ll give you that. But lets go back in history a second. Recorded history before DNA was discovered. History that has 10,000’s of pages of details dispersed long before any conspiracy of religion could contain and codify them to delete parts. Remember who Jesus made the maddest? Who were beside themselves with rage over His preposterous claims to be the great “I AM”, to be sent from the Father, to be the Forgiver of sin, the fulfillment of prophecies for a Messiah since the beginning?

Jewish religious leaders. Jesus messed up their status quo and revealed the sin in their hearts.

They thought killing Him would do the job, but they were just playing into His PLAN. His whole ministry pointed to His death and what it would mean – payment of sin for mankind. He referred to Mary’s anointing of His feet as for His burial. He said “Unless a grain of what falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it produces much grain” and “what shall I say: “Father, save Me from this hour?” But for THIS purpose I came to this hour”. He even said He would be crucified, and it was prophesied hundreds of years before. The whole discourse of His last sayings to His beloved and bewildered brethren were to encourage them that His death was the plan and to look for His resurrection. His dear disciples were SO dense, He had to explain it all again AFTER He rose from the dead.
Who tried to put guards at the tomb?The leaders knew He spoke of rising from the dead. They needed a dead body to prove He was NOT who He said He was. They didn’t get it because He was!

If anyone had a vested interest in making sure Jesus was either dead or his death was faked, it was the Jewish leaders. There was no evidence. They were out trying to put down “The  Way” and kill Jesus followers from the beginning. Yea, Jesus was raising His family in Jerusalem in peace while the whole Roman countryside was being purged of His followers -so, you’re gonna say He had a slight case of amnesia? I don’t think so. So you all think you have something new, 2000 years later? Think again. The tomb is still empty and Jesus is alive in the hearts of His people…and waiting patiently for people like you to choose His peace and joy. It won’t make you rich, like you hope this ‘documentary’ will, but you will be at peace.

Rant off.
