Movie is coming out in Canada this week. Many people are very excited to go and see it. Will it be a blockbuster or just a buster? The hype has been huge and the expectation for many high.

Alexandra, you bring up some interesting points like the number of pains of glass in the pyramid.

Does anyone else know of any other details that are absolutely false in this novel?

Question to ponder.

The theory states that Mary Magadeline was buried under Herod's palace.

#1 What would the proposed wife of Jesus be doing buried under a Jewish leader's home?

#2 This was way before the time of refrigeration, is it really logical to believe that they took Mary's rotting corpse all the way from France to Jerusalem to be buried.

#3 What reason would they have to take her body out of France to be buried.

Any answers?

As of today 26% of those polled believe the theory to be fact. I have yet to see one reason as to why someone would believe it.

Just my response to number two....
The body would not have been 'rotting' because of the practise of embalming....the process preserves the body astoundingly....Look at the Egyptian mummies....

pretty gross still, anyway....*bleagh!*

I think there is a bit of truth mixed in with alot of fiction in this movie. Obviousley alot of it was made up just like alot of religious texts are made up I suppose.

That's an extremely good and pertinent point, FreeSpirit...
There was a programme on Sunday, with a Biblical scholar pulling the book to bits, saying that the account of the Emperor Constantine was 100 years out....
And the Literary critic pointed out that the Gospels were written at least 100 years after the death of Christ - WITHOUT the benefit of media communication, or WWW internet research facilities....

It is all very well for people to dismiss this book as outright fiction... We could begin though, by calling it 'Faction'...But The Bible, as an historical factual account of Jesus, doesn't hold much water under scrutiny, either....
Historical research on events such as the Massacre of the Innocents shows the date of this event to be wildly innacurate and completely at odds, regarding the Life-time-line of Herod Agrippa, for example....

It's taken the heat and attention away from those parchments regarding Judas....

But let's not get off-topic....
Scrutiny and denial of this book, by the Church, is primarily borne out of Fear....
It's held up as blasphemous Mockery, because they are afraid it will Knock the Faith....

It will soon blow over though....
It's a storm in a tea-cup...

The Belief in Jesus Christ as saviour has survived worse than this....

I've changed my mind again, I think it's false now.

The Bible holds up under scrutiny and is the most authentic historical document from that time. The books were written by those who knew Jesus and were written within 70 years of his death by eye witnesses. There were thousands of eyewitnesses living at the time who would of disproved the books at the time. The Isrealites took their religion very very seriously and did not tolerate false teachings.

There are 5000 copies and thousands of fragments in existence today that were discovered throughout the ancient world. These copies are 98.5% identical. The other 1.5% are grammatical differences, not doctrinal. The oldest copy was copied 55 years after the original was written.

To compare this to other ancient documents, there are 7 copies of Plato's works. There is only 1 copy of Tactis's Annuals of Imperial Rome. There are 9 copies of historian Josephus's book The Jewish War, these copies are dated centuries after the originals and are considered reliable.

The Gospels can be re-written by taking quotes from non biblical writtings of the time.

Check out my article on the subject for the facts regarding the Bible and its authenticity
