Zeitgeist the Movie part one makes some pretty bold but unfounded claims regarding the deity of Jesus Christ.

What is Zeitgeist? I was approached by KWVE (Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa) to give a scholarly response to the Movie Zeitgeist. The movie is in three parts espousing a string of conspiracy theories. I found part three provocative and in a respects it echoed the prophecy of the number of the Beast as found in Revelation 13. However, part one asserts that Jesus Christ is just one of numerous solar messiahs who all share similar characteristics such as born on December 25, to a virgin, had 12 disciples, was crucified, buried and resurrected. A study of primary source documents easily proves otherwise. Why is this important? The movie Zeitgeist is making inroads to over 700 campuses nationwide and hence many will could be led astray by this movies false claims.
