James Cameron does NOT have Jesus' coffin!

Filmmaker James Cameron is claiming that an old box that has been around for at least 20 years is the coffin of Jesus Christ.

This is impossible for several reasons:

1. They didn't have coffins 2,000 years ago...they had ossuaries, into which a dead person's bones went after the corpse had rotted.

2. There were many eyewitnesses who saw Jesus' body put in a wealthy man's tomb after Jesus was tortured and nailed to a cross to die. Three days later, the tomb was empty. Then angels appeared and told the women who'd seen the empty tomb not to worry.

3. Jesus Christ's body went with him down to hell for 3 days to offer salvation to everyone who had previously died. Then, on the 3rd day, Jesus came back to earth. We celebrate this as the Resurrection, or Easter.

4. Easter is not about bunnies or eggs--it's about Jesus overcoming death.

5. After His resurrection into human form again, in a glorified body, Jesus stayed on earth for 40 more days.

6. Then, he vanished upwards, into the clouds, and promised his disciples (the apostles) that He would return the same way He came. This is one reason why we Christians believe in the rapture--Jesus coming back in the air, through the clouds, to get us.

7. You can go visit the graves of Mohammed, Buddha, Siddhartha, Brahman, or other religious leaders, because they died and were not resurrected. You cannot visit Jesus' tomb because he left behind no earthly body.

Time is running out, but it is NOT too late to gain eternal peace, security, and love. Just pray to God, ask him to forgive your sins, and earnestly repent of them. Then ask Jesus Christ to enter your heart and be your savior. Tell him you gratefully accept what he did for you by dying on the cross--He made it possible for you to reach God, and reconcile with Him, even though you and I and all of us are sinners and we fail a lot!
