In looking more at this thread, I found the link to the movie at the top. I have to say, I am amazed at the skillful and appealing work they did to attempt to rip apart the Bible, and for those who don't know the Bible, they did a masterful job. This is not the first film I've seen like this and I'm sure it will not be the last.

Unfortunately, the filmmaker puts the cart before the horse. He is amazingly misleading (although in a very clever way) and he makes broad assumptions and misrepresentations that are simply untrue and in fact, outright backwards. He also conveniently completely ignores the volumes of evidence the Bible has provided pertaining to its truth and authenticity.

This is intellectual dishonesty in its prime.

I am always against doing people's homework for them because then I would be subverting the very purpose of our being here, and that is, to make a decision. This decision is revealed by our actions, not by what we think of ourselves. It is done this way because people have very self-deceptive natures. Judgment-by-works eliminates this type of self-deception and so the best way to "know thyself" is to look at your actions.

Now, for those who don't want to do any homework and want to simply put your trust in some filmmaker who you don't know, go right ahead, but I won't tell you that it is a prudent decision. Knowing what I know, I can clearly see that this filmmaker has an agenda and I know this because he is omitting important information and distorting other information.

I would encourage anyone who doubts the truth and authenticity of the Bible to read and study it for themselves. Don't take my word for it and certainly don't take this filmmaker's word for it.

Now, for those who actually do plan on doing some research, let me point you in the right direction.

Locate the passage in the Bible that says Christ was born on the winter solstice.

Look up the true meaning behind easter.

Study the symbology of the astrological signs. Pay special attention to the names of the deacons and the primary stars within the signs and deacons. To help you with this study, I would suggest this book:

The Witness of the Stars by Bullinger

As you study, you will also see the absurdity of comparing mythological characters like horus and their stories to the account of Christ given in the Bible. As you study, you will discover what a "cart-before-the-horse" deceptive tactic this filmmaker is employing. It's really shameful, and he is obviously either deceived and very misinformed himself or is somehow profiting from this endeavor.

I would also study how the filmmaker is completely confusing the Catholic Church with the work of Christ.

If you do your homework, you will understand why the two are diametrically opposed (Christ and the Catholic Church). The scribes and pharisees actually hated and twisted the teachings of Christ to fit their own purposes. Christ warned us about them:

"And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."

—Mark 12:38-44


Study this carefully and understand that this is not a statement about the faith of a woman. It is a commentary on the financial raping of a people through un-Biblical taxation. (see Companion Bible notes—Bullinger)

I would also study the prophecies about the city on seven hills. This is a very interesting subject. You also need to consider Vatican City in some of your prophecy studies.

Yes, these prophecies written thousands of years ago are actually talking about events happening today. Unfortunately, that information didn't make the film either.

Further, the Bible is liberating and the law of God is protective and provides liberty for people. This is why it's referred to as the law of liberty. This is also why the United States had such great economic success in the early days, when it adhered to this law.

The film deceptively blames Christianity for tyranny when it—the false belief system promoted by this film—is actually the source for oppression. Again, if you don't lift a finger to check this out, you will be sucked in by the films skillful deception and omissions.

The Bible not only speaks about the time we are now entering, it also talks about the grand, global deception that will take place that will lead the majority of the world population into believing lies.

The events of the Bible are backed up by two unmistakable evidences: gamatria, and prophecy. But, there are more. There are witnesses to these events, archeological evidences based on Biblical references, and information about historical events that are correlated by other sources. This is overwhelming stuff and it is—at the very least—intellectually incriminating to have omitted this from the film.

Of course, to those who plan to do nothing to research these will have their consciences soothed by the misleading tactics in this film. Know thyself. You only have to give the masses what they lust after in order to neutralize them, and this is just what this film delivers, so-called "evidence" that Christ is a myth. So, do as thou wilt is now the whole of the law. You are just beginning to see just what kind of world this kind of philosophy produces.

In the film, the comparisons to "other gods" is compelling on its face, but again, these other silly mythological stories have nothing to do with Christ or His nature. There are similarities, but study will show that there are enormous differences between myth and reality. To write off the myriad evidences of Christ using this method employed by the filmmaker is—although clever—only workable against people who are ignorant of the true biblical evidence.

I also recognize the chief antichrist-spokesperson George Carlin who also does not know the first thing about the Bible. He speaks on the film about taxation, yet, he does not realize that the "scribes" (so to speak) used 501-C3 as a control mechanism against churches right to free speech, but neither the filmmaker or George have figured that one out yet. Yes, 501-C3 is a tactic that people used to neutralize "churches", but many will still think that the ones who invented this tactic are their buddies.

So, this film has the results of Biblical understanding 180 degrees out of alignment, the birth of Christ wrong, the facts behind easter wrong, the hidden meanings of the astrological signs out of sequence and incorrectly interpreted, the money issue completely backwards, the parallels between so-called gods, star movements, and facts about Christ incorrectly correlated, and I didn't watch the entire film.

It's important to remember that this life is a filter to separate those who follow logic and reason and those who selfishly decide to follow emotionalism (what they want).

On a more personal note, I have to say that this kind of "journalism" disgusts me. Watching the film is like reading the quackwatch website. In fact, one of the sections of my short quackwatch rebuttal story is called "Shameful Omissions" because of the vital information that was deceptively omitted.

For those who are sucked in by this kind of misinformation, I truly hope you will, one day, take the time to search it our for yourself. Just as Heiser exposes Gardner's lies, and just like Hovind exposes the moth-pinned-to-a-tree textbook lies, I hope you can see through the clever deception that will—as foretold in Biblical prophecy—become more prevalent in these times shortly before the return of Christ.

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

—Revelation 13:16-18


"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"

—Ephesians 4:14
