Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a Biblical scholar for the past 46 years, I reviewed this documentary as one who knows the entire Hebrew and Greek scriptures well. The ideas, posits, conjectures, and assertions of this entire movie are written from the view of an atheist, not a believer. Those who do not have a good working knowledge of the Bible will likely be entertained by the dry humor of the movie, but those who understand the subtleties of deception the movie puts forth, will be alarmed. One of the suppositions described in this movie is the idea that no Jew knew what the criteria was for the True Messiah. In fact it was the 400 Prophecies of the Messiah that were recorded in the Old Testament that give us the precise qualifications for the Messiah. I published a 4,042 page treatise on these facts in The Prophecies of the Messiah at Amazon. The Hebrew prophecies say that Messiah will be the Son of God, from 2 Samuel 7:14, Psalms 2:7, and Psalms 110:1. He will be God living in the body of a man, who is coming in humility to lay down His life for the sins of the world, not as a conquering King. Philippians 2 describes Jesus as God, but setting aside His rights as God, to take the form of a servant and pay the penalty we deserve for our sins. Isaiah 61, gives us the two arrivals of the Messiah, the first to announce "the acceptable year of the Lord," by dying for us as our servant, then the second arrival, "the day of judgement of our God," when Jesus returns as the conquering Messiah/King. This documentary would have the viewer believe that Jesus was somehow made God and Messiah by the writers, but He never claimed this and the Jews never accepted Him because He didn't defeat the Romans. There are 77 places where Jesus clearly states He is Yahweh/God in the New Testament. In fact, the Old Testament predicted through the prophets that when the Messiah comes the first time, the Jews will reject Him. This would cause God to offer salvation to the whole world. Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 32 AD, and 38 years later, Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, just as Jesus predicted, all because they "did not recognize the time of their visitation by the True Messiah." The narrator of the movie stated that Paul never met Jesus, but 1 Corinthians 9, Paul states that He saw the risen Jesus "with my own eyes." There are 10 citations in the New Testament where Paul is described as personally meeting the risen Jesus, not "a ghost," as the narrator of this movie stated. The narrator also said that there is nothing about Jesus except what Paul wrote, who never met Jesus, but in fact there are four Gospels written by the men who saw Jesus with their own eyes, and state 134 times that they are eyewitnesses. They cite Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection 396 times in the four Gospels. The atheist propaganda that the Gospels were written late in the first century by non-eyewitnesses, has absolutely no evidence whatsoever to prove this is true. This is the oft repeated lies of atheist scholars who ignore the 134 statements by the writers where they say emphatically, they saw Jesus with their eyes and they are telling the truth. I have published 33 books on Amazon that documents the historical reliability of the crucified and risen Jesus, and the One True Messiah, God promised the Jews in their scriptures. This documentary is both factually incorrect, and is in direct conflict with the actual text of the New Testament. In short, the movie is a work of fiction. Read the New Testament for yourself, it tell us exactly who Jesus is. Not the person this comical movie portrays Him as. Robert Clifton Robinson
