Bring It On, Time, Bring It On

"Behind the First Noel Who were the wise men? What about that star? And is it possible Jesus was born in Nazareth? How the story of Christ's birth came to be"

I am always impressed with just how smart jouranalists are. With no real investigation and no work they always manage to get the same scholars to say the same things year after year. Simply refering to that loud mouthed minority of Scholarship sometimes refered to as the Jesus seminar, who use refuted and outdated methodologies, seems to be the end all of all things.

I discovered years ago that the media is only interested in bashing those of the Christian faith. So for those of you who are concerned, consider this. The overwhelming view of Scholarship, either liberal or conservative, is that Jesus was a real man, that He suffered under Pontius Pilate, that He was crucified, that He died, that He was buried in Joseph of Arithamea's tomb, that on the third day the tomb was empty, that His followers believed they saw Him after these events.

Liberals tend to explain the emtpy tomb and appearances with naturalistic explanations. Conservatives tend to explain these events from a view that Jesus actually rose from the dead. You are simply going to have to make up your mind on which explanation fits all of the evidence.

I say, bring it on Time Magazine. The more you liberal elitists try to maintain your power by ignoring the competition, the less people are going to listen to you. We are tired of having our faith bashed as being only a fable. Soon you will be out of power. Oh wait, did I just hear Fox news is now on the radio instead of ABC news?
