The world hates Him and yet loves Him

I'm sure everyone has heard about the so called "Graves of Jesus' Family" that has been found and is being exploited to make a movie. I won't answer and debunk the claims here. I address them in my other blog posting @ http://reasons-to-believe.blogspot.com/2007/03/grave-and-bones-of-jesus-and-family.html.

What I want to discuss here is the fact that amazing fact that while the world hates Jesus, they love to talk about Him and make money from Him. James Cameron is at the helm of this silliness. It is obvious to me (and a BBC News article I mention in my other post above says the same thing) that he is trying to make money off of attacking the Christian faith the same way "The DaVinci Code" did. The archeologist who first found the tomb says there is nothing to these claims. And yet Hollywood, eager to continue making money of the name of Jesus, whether with "pro-Jesus" movies like "The Passion of the Christ" and the recent "The Nativity", or with "anti-Jesus" movies like "The DaVinci Code" and now, this "The Lost Tomb of Jesus".

It is amazing to me how a world desparate to rid themselves of Jesus cannot stop thinking about Him, talking about Him, writing about Him, and (unfortunately) even swearing in His name. It is amazing to me how such a "fake", as the world would claim Him to be, cannot get away from Him. If Jesus is really a "fake", why does the world spend so much time on Him? Just ignore Him, let Him go. In Bible, a Jewish leader rightly said: "So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God" - Acts 5:38-39

So let the world attack. They have been doing so since the beginning of the church. They couldn't destory the church of Christ then and they cannot now as it is of God. History has borne out the fact that the church of Christ is the work of God.

Honestly, I'm convinced the world knows this in their heart. This is why they cannot ignore Him. He is their God and they know it. Either they attack Him in a desparate attempt to dethrone Him (since they do not want Him over them) or they embrace Him for profit because they know they cannot destroy Him. Would they rather accept and join Him.

May God Almighty be praised!
