Dallas Baptist theologian calls out James Cameron for heresy

by PegNews wire

DALLAS — Dr. Jerry Johnson, President of Criswell College in Dallas and host of the "Jerry Johnson LiveShow" on 90.9 KCBI, said that James Cameron's claims of finding physical remains of Jesus are unscientific, as well as heretical; and he would like an apology from Cameron to those who hold the Bible's account of Jesus' resurrection to be the truth. Cameron's claim comes as a result of his controversial documentary The Lost Tomb of Christ set to air on the Discovery Channel on March 4.

"Cameron's claims are founded on the desire to make good TV instead of forensic DNA evidence," said Dr. Johnson. "Ironically, each Easter we see a story like this pop up in the media. Last year it was DaVinci's Code, and this year it's Cameron's coffin. These claims are nothing short of heresy and an attack on a fundamental Christian truth. I'm asking Cameron to consider apologizing to the Christian community world-wide for making this unsubstantiated claim."

Quite likely, the documentary's secondary claim - that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a son named Judah - is the allegedly heretical aspect of the documentary Dr. Johnson has issue with.
