I only caught the end of it and the doco maker was speaking to people in the Jewish community who were returning to a particular place (sorry- not too informed- i cant even rememebr the name of the place) that had once been their land but had been taken from them and the place (near Jeruselum i think) had gone from being their sacred place of worship to being a mosk and also a place for Christians to worship- and now they all have their little peice and they can all openly do their own thing- together in the one place. The bit i watched was him talking to a Jewish man who was explaining that by doing this they are full filling a prophesy in the first testimate regarding the Jewish Community surving through hardship and finding their way back to their rightful place....

The doco maker did listen to this man- however after he had spoken to him he spoke to some of the Christian and Greek Orthodox who beleive that THEY are full filling THEIR version of the prophesy by up holding their beleifs and being truly gods people- from there the doco maker was sort of stuck as he had two opposing views about the same prophesy- and trying to be impartial- he didnt really say which he beleived to be *true*

He also talked about different scrolls being discovered in the late 70's which have been traced back to the times BC which has oppposing views to all the religious beleifs- but that when they were discovered- no one was willing to change the bible so to speak- but he put the question out there as to why these scrolls where hidden and missing from the first testimate in the first place.

When they showed the ad for next weeks episode he is going to attempt to find out who was responsible for writing and putting together the new testimate and what effects that has had on all the religious upheaval- and to find out what facts can be found to give truth to Jesus' story and his life (which i personally beleive to be mostly true.... i look at it like He definalety DID exist- just that everything written about him may not be 100% accurate- sort of like in laymans terms- we have people today who are very famous and do stuff- but you cant beleive everything you read about them IYKWIM)

I wish i had caught all of it- and i'm not sure if it was the first episode in a series or not0 but it is definaltly on next week- between 10am and 11 am on ABC or SBS i will be making sure i tape it so i can watch it a few times so i can really understand it all.

I thought you would be interested (along with everyone else here) as it really touched on alot of what we have all been discussing and i beleive it is trying to show an impartial view of someone with no basis in any of the differeing religions trying to figure out what really went on all those years ago.

How did you go with google?
