Just few days ago, I read a very surprising news article; a tomb in Jerusalem has been claim as Jesus and his family's tomb. Furthermore, the news became worse when I heard that a famous film director, James Cameron, who
has made famous film, such as Titanic wanted to make a documentary about this discovery.I, as a Christian, feel that this news is not good news to be heard. There are many reasons why this news is not good even to be published, even to be made into a documentary film or a book.
Firstly, one thing that makes me unhappy is the truth whether the tomb is Jesus' tomb or not haven't been proved. I found that the news only intimidated Christians about their God without ensuring the truth. It is true what the scientists and scholars said that there were many people who were named Jesus, Mary, of Judah in period when Jesus was alive.
There are no any evidences which claimed that Jesus was buried there, had married with Mary
Magdalene and had a son named Judah. Until now, they can only prove that Jesus has different DNA structure with Mary, which means that they are husband and wife because they were buried in one ossuary. But the truth was still asked because Jesus and Mary are popular names and there could be a spouse with same names with a son named Judah.Secondly, if the truth has not been confirmed, why the film director, James Cameron, still wanted to make a documentary film? I think what he did is very wrong. The documentary that he will make will give great impacts to the society, especially to Christians.
If James Cameron has made the film very similar with he tells about facts, many people will get the effects of the film. They will think that Christians has made faults about the God. Consequently, they will say that Christian is not a religion that supposes to be followed. For Christian, especially for those who have weak faith, they will think that the have go to wrong religion and they will want to quit and move to other religions.
In Conclusion, this news supposed to be checked the truth; people or mass media supposed to not publish it before the truth has been proven. Wrong information can give great impacts to the society. Therefore, before they are going to publish the information, or even make a documentary, please consider to the truth and also think about the effects which will be caused, whether it will damage one or more sides or not.
