Don't Buy the Hype

The world is abuzz...."Did they really find the body of Jesus and his wife and child?" some are asking. It seems like every few years someone new comes out and claims to have definitive proof that Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead. And every time the claim and "rock solid" evidence is debunked, systematically.

Don't buy the hype guys....there will always be people desperate to disprove the resurrection....Remember Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:14, 18 "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith...If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men."

What better way to justify their modern, "progressive" lifestyle than to try to debunk Christianity? After all, if there is nothing beyond this life, no higher accountability, then they can feel free to do as they please with no long term repercussions. How convenient. And you wonder why they try so hard?

Here are a few well documented and reasoned articles explaining why this is all one big publicity stunt:

And what is more, don't let the claims of "DNA" evidence con you into feeling this is any more legitimate than a Lost Vegas wedding...the only thing that they can prove with their DNA evidence is that the remains in the box labeled "Jesus, son of Joseph" come from a person who was not related to the remains of the person in the box labeled "Mary." How is that for stretching the facts?

Take heart my friends for the Word says that:

2 Timothy 4:3 (New International Version)

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
