If Jesus' Family Tomb was right there in 1st Century Jerusalem it should have been easy enough to discredit the Apostles' preaching of the Resurrection & the Gospel. I appreciated the way the Christians on the panel handled themselves. I never heard anyone point out the Scriptural textual discrepancies mentioned in the docu-drama, like the stretch it is to make "the disciple Jesus loved" any one other than John the son of Zebedee, etc. The Biblical quotations all seemed to be taken second hand by the producers rather than from the text of Scripture. Concerning a "spiritual ascension", just what were the disciples looking heavenward to see when Jesus' spirit ascended upward in Acts 1:9-11? And did Jesus simply walk away with them to return to His wife and family afterward?
