Thank you for your comments Job! Very thought provoking, containing a wide gamut of content. I will concur with your first comment, whereas the article was edited by various publications to fit. The unabridged article found on the website HERE reads: "It is not difficult to conclude that Jacobovici is either sensationalizing an archeological find for the sake of notoriety and financial gain or even worse, zealously ****ing his soul by undermining the supernatural divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ."

And regarding the other point, the article does quantify Jacobovici's passion within the caption of his large photo "Simcha Jacobovici is an award winning and controversial documentary director and producer whose work deals primarily with controversies in Jewish history." and I also clarified "Jacobovici... An observant Jew with an interest in Biblical history" meaning he had more vested in the project than just income potential. His life IS dedicated to the cause of Orthodox Judaism and the documentary was a feeble attempt to advance his cause.

[Christians and Jews ARE BOTH AWAITING THE SAME MESSIAH!]

Christians under the blood of Christ are awaiting the reigning King, Jews are awaiting the conquering lion to set wrongs right. I agree there are some common passions, but there are also some clear differences.

[It had nothing to do with money; you don't make any money by putting your documentary on low profile basic cable.]

True in that regard, but books sales are spiraling similar to "The Secret". This is a cash cow and the Discovery Channel has partial rights on the royalties, thus their 3.5 million invested expecting a profit. James Cameron will not gamble his time on any project that doesn't spell profit.

[It was all about attempting to undermine Christianity.]

I would agree with this, I do believe this is his primary motivation.

"The Da Vinci Code", "The Gospel of Judas" which I wrote on and received many center spreads HERE and now this undermining work will have little influence upon Christendom whereas the common thread is mystical and erroneous Gnostism. Irenaeus of Lyons, Tertullian, Hippolytus and other early scholars of the faith would have had a grand time with the old heresies being resurrected today as if they had any substance. I am sure some of those who profess Christ will fall away, primarly those not grounded in the faith. The pruning work of the gardener is constantly in process to keep the tree healthy by removing the unfruitful and the trimmed branches are gathered and shall be cast into the fire. (John 15:1-6)
