'Lost Tomb of Jesus' Tries to Turn 'Fiction into Believability,' Minister Warns
A Christian clergy leader and activist is blasting an upcoming television special that claims archaeologists have uncovered a coffin that once contained the remains of Jesus Christ, AgapePress reports.
According to National Clergy Council president Rob Schenck, a Hollywood director is among the people least qualified to render any determination of Biblical truth.
[James] Cameron is a man "whose job is to turn fiction into believability," Schenck points out.
Meanwhile, he notes, "The man [the well-known moviemaker] has partnered with -- Simcha Jacobovici -- has been completely discredited by the scholarly community as nothing more than a modern-day, self-proclaimed Indiana Jones."
Furthermore, The Lost Tomb of Jesus is full of inaccuracies, Schenk asserts.
The documentary claims to present scientific analysis of limestone ossuaries and physical evidence found in a 2,000-year-old tomb in Talpiot, Jerusalem, that some "experts" claim may have once held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth and his family; but Schenck insists there is "nothing here of any substance."
Nor is there anything remarkable about finding bone boxes inscribed with the names of Yeshua, Miriam or Mary, the Christian clergy leader asserts.
