TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH" THE
PAPYRUS THAT IS CAUSING QUITE A
STIR.
THE 4TH CENTURY WRITING THAT
REFERS TO JESUS' WIFE.
PLUS INVESTIGATING FAST AND
FURIOUS.
THE NEW GOVERNMENT REPORT SHEDS
LIGHT ON THE FAILED OPERATION
MEANT TO CRACK DOWN ON GUN
TRAFFICKING.
WHY THE BELLY FAT AROUND YOUR
MID SECTION IS MORE DANGEROUS
THAN YOU MAY REALIZE.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE TONIGHT ON
"NEWSWATCH." GOOD EVENING
EVERYONE I AM LEE WEB. AND I
AM WENDY GRIFFITH.
A HARVARD RESEARCHER HAS SPARKED
A CONTROVERSY AMONG CHRISTIANS.
SHE HAS UNVEILED A ANCIENT
PAPYRUS THAT REVEALS JESUS HAD A
WIFE. PROFESSOR KAREN KING
SAYS QUOTES JESUS REFERRING TO
MY WIFE AND MENTIONS, MARY, THE
REFERENCE TO MARY MAGDALEN.
WHAT IS EXCITING ABOUT THIS
FRAGMENT, IT IS THE FIRST CASE
WE HAVE OF CHRISTIANS CLAIMING
THAT JESUS HAD A WIFE.
BUT JERUSALEM BASED NEW
TESTAMENT SCHOLAR CLAIRE PFANN
SAYS IT DOESN'T TELL US ANYTHING
ABOUT JESUS AND HIS FOLLOWERS N.
PROBABLY TELLS US
DISCUSSIONS OF CHRISTIAN GROUPS
IN EGYPT THAN ANYTHING OF JESUS
IN THE FIRST CENTURY.
THIS TALKS ABOUT CHURCH HISTORY.
IT IS OF GREAT INTEREST TO
CHURCH HISTORIANS, PARTICULARLY
THOSE DEALING WITH EGYPTIAN
CHRISTIANITY. PFANN SAY IT
IS CONTEXT IN WHICH THE PAPYRUS
WAS WRITTEN IS MISSING.
IT IS ABOUT THE ROLE OF WOMEN.
PROFESSOR KING DOESN'T FEEL
JESUS AND MARY MAGDALEN WERE
MARRIED OR THIS WOULD MOVE THAT
IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
SHE FEELS THIS PARTICULAR
FRAGMENT IS DEALING WITH ISSUES
OF WOMEN'S ROLES IN LEADERSHIP
AND IN AUTHORITY IN EGYPTIAN
CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IN THE
FOURTH CENTURY.
EXPERTS ARE MEETING IN ITALY,
SOME SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE
APPEARANCE AND GRAMMAR OF
EGYPTIAN PAPYRUS.
I WAS INTERESTED TO HEAR
PROFESSOR KING HAS THE INTENTION
OF TRYING TO GET A CHEMICAL
ANALYSIS OF THE INK IN ORDER TO
VERIFY WHETHER OR NOT IT IS
REALLY ANCIENT OR WHETHER OR NOT
IT MIGHT BE A MODERN
COMPOSITION.
DOCTOR KORNAY BECKER SAYS IT
WAS FROM THE FOURTHED CENTURY
GNOSTIC MOVEMENT.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS.
DR. BECKER JOINS US FOR THIS
INTERESTING FINDING.
PROBABLY FROM THE FOURTH
CENTURY.
WHAT ARE THE GNOSTIC GOSPELGOSPELS.
THEY WANT TO INTRODUCE
NON-CHRISTIAN IDEAS.
THE SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH
CENTURY, THEY WRITE DOCUMENTS.
THEY CALL THESE GOSPELS.
WRITE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE
FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.
THEY HAVE FALSE NAMES CONNECTED
WITH THEM IN WHICH THEY WOULD
INTRODUCE ALL KINDS OF IDEAS
THAT WEREN'T NORMAL.
THIS OF COURSE ISN'T THE
FIRST TIME SOMEONE SAID THAT
JESUS HAD A WIFE.
WOULDN'T THE WRITERS OF THE FOUR
GOSPELS, MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE,
AND JOHN MENTIONED THIS
INTERESTING DETAIL THAT JESUS
HAD A WIFE?
WE ONLY HAVE OCCURRENCES IN
THE SECRET GOSPEL OF MARY AND
THIS NEW FRAGMENT.
THESE ARE MUCH LATER.
THE GOSPEL AUTHORS WOULD MENTION
IT.
NO HISTORY.
NO CONSENSUS IN THE EARLY CHURCH
THERE WAS ANYTHING CLOSELY
CONNECTED TO JESUS HAVING A
WIFE. WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE
WRITING THAT HE DID HAVE A WIFE?
WHAT IS HIS MOTIVE?
TO SUBVERT CHRISTIANITY.
IN THE LATE FOURTH CENTURY, THIS
IS THE BEGINNING OF
CONVERSATIONS WHETHER CHRISTIANS
SHOULD MARY, WHETHER CELIBACY IS
AN OPTION.
SOME WAYS TO REINTRODUCE AND
LESSEN THE DIVINITY ASPECT OF
CHRIST.
IN YOUR OPINION, HOW SHOULD
THE CHURCH RESPOND?
IN SOME WAYS, NOTHING.
SECOND CENTURY, INCREDIBLE BOOK
THE HERESIES.
THE CHURCH GOT RID OF THEM AND
THEY WERE NOT WRITTEN BY
APOSTLES AND DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING HELPFUL TO SAY ABOUT
JESUS.
AS BELIEVERS, WE BELIEVE THE
BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED WRITTEN
WORD OF GOD.
IT REALLY IS RIDICULOUS TO THINK
SOMETHING THAT IMPORTANT WOULD
BE LEFT OUT OF THE BIBLE.
YES, INDEED.
WE HAVE TO STRESS THIS IS A
SMALL FRAGMENT, FOURTH CENTURY.
VERY TYPICAL SPECIFICALLY.
APOSTLE PAUL MENTIONED HE WAS
SINGLE.
IF THERE WAS SOMETHING
CONNECTED TO JESUS HAVING A
WIFE, THE CRITICS OF JESUS WOULD
HAVE MENTIONED IN SECOND AND
THIRD CENTURY.
WE HAVE NOTHING.
NONE OF THE FOLKS THAT WROTE
AGAINST CHRISTIANS WOULD
MENTION. EXAMING IT FURTHER,
WHAT IF JESUS DID HAVE A WIFE,
DO YOU THINK HE COULD HAVE
FULFILLED HIS MISSION ON EARTH?
THERE WOULD BE ALL KINDS OF
PROBLEMS.
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THIS.
SECOND OPTION WOULD OF COURSE BE
FAMILY IS AN IMAGE THIS
INCREDIBLE LOVE GOD HAS FOR HIS
PEOPLE.
QUESTION WOULD HAVE BEEN WHETHER
JESUS COULD HAVE GAVE HIS LIFE
COMPLETELY TO CHRIST AND OF
COURSE TO GOD AND TO ALL OF US
AND MAYBE THAT IS THE BIG
QUESTION WE HAVE TO ASK.
UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE OUT OF
TIME.
IT IS AN INTERESTING SUBJECT.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.

A FRENCH MAGAZINE PUBLISHED
CARICATURES OF THE PROPHET
MOHAMMED, A MOVE SOME SAY WILL
SPARK MORE VIOLENCE.
A FRENCH PRIME MINISTER CALLS IT
A CATASTROPHE.
FRENCH EMBASSIES ARE CLOSED AS A
PRECAUTION.
IT COMES AFTER DAYS OF PROTESTS
OVER A U.S.-PRODUCED FILM THAT
PORTRAYS THE PROPHET MOHAMMED.
A SMALL PACKAGE EXPLODED IN A
KOSHER GROCERY STORE IN PARIS.
IT IS UNCLEAR IF IT IS RELATED
TO THE CARTOONS, BUT COULD POINT
TO A RISE OF ANTISEMITISM.
ERICK STAKELBECK REPORTS.
REPORTER: WHEN A RADICAL
MUSLIM MURDERED THREE CHILDREN
AND A RABBI EARLIER THIS YEAR,
POLICE CALL IT ISOLATED.
SOME 24 PERCENT OF FRENCH
CITIZENS HOLD ANTI-SEMITIC, IN
SPAIN 53 PERCENT.
IN HUNGRY, 63 PERCENT ADMITTED
ANTI-SEMITIC FEELINGS AND
GROWING IN BRITAIN UP 7 PERCENT
SINCE 2009.
IT IS A THREAT TO THE
EUROPEAN CULTURE TO THE
DEMOCRACY.
ISRAELIS DEPUTY AMBASSADOR TO
BELGIUM.
THE GOVERNMENT MUST FIGHT THE
PROBLEM OF HOLOCAUST DENIAL.
EDUCATING MUSLIM YOUTH ABOUT
HOLOCAUST.
IT IS THEIR IGNORANCE.
THIS LARGE MOSQUE IN THE
HEART OF BRUSSELSS IS A SIGN OF
THE TIMES.
THE RISE OF ISLAM IS DIRECTLY
RELATED TO RISE OF ANTISEMITISM.
FIVE MUSLIM GIRLS BEAT A JEWISH
GIRL.
ONE JEWISH GIRL TOLD CBN NEWS,
THE EFFORT ISN'T ENOUGH FOR SOME
IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A LOT
THINKING ABOUT LIVING.
THE ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN
SILENT OVER THE GROWING
ANTI-SEMITIC GROWING IN THE
CAMPUS.
PEOPLE FROM EXTREME LEFT WING
ASSOCIATED WITH INTEGRATION.
THOSE TWO, I WOULD SAY SMALL
GROUPS ARE ACTIVE ON THE GROUND.
HE SAYS THIS ALLIANCE DRIVES
A CAMPUS MOVEMENT KNOWN AS BDS,
BOW COT DIVEST AND SANCTION
ISRAEL.
AS WAR LOOMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST,
SOME WORRY THEY WILL BE
TARGETED, IT HAPPENED WHEN THEY
LEFT VIOLENT PROTEST AGAINST
HAMAS AND GAZA.
THEY VANDALIZED SYNAGOGUES.
THE HOSTILITY WASN'T CONFINED
THE EUROPE.
IT TOOK PLACE IN SOME OTHER
CITIES AND ACTIVE FAR BEYOND THE
MIDDLE EAST.

REPORT CITES MANAGEMENT
FAILURES, AN INTERNAL WATCHDOG
HAS REFERRED A DOZEN PEOPLE FOR
DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
2009 THEY LOST TRACK OF HUNDREDS
OF WEAPONS AFTER LAUNCHING FAST
AND FURIOUS.
A BORDER PATROL AGENT IN ARIZONA
DIED IN A SHOOTOUT WITH
TRAFFICKERS.
FOR MORE ON THIS STORY, WE
ARE JOINED BY LARRY PRAT,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF GUN OWNERS
OF AMERICA.
IT CITES MANAGEMENT ERRORS AND
PROBLEMS THERE WITH MANAGEMENT.
IT CLEARS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
DO YOU FIND THAT STRANGE?
I FIND THAT VERY STRANGE.
I THINK THE REPORT SAYS TOO
LITTLE AND TOO LATE.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER, WE KNOW
FROM DOCUMENTS, ACTUAL E-MAILS
THAT HAD BEEN SENT BACK AND
FORTH WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE, FAST AND FURIOUS WAS A
DELIBERATE POLICY OF PLACING
GUNS INTO THE HANDS OF THE
MEXICAN CARTEL, IN ORDER THAT
THE MURDER RATE WOULD GO UP SO
THAT COULD BE USED FOR A
PREDICATE FOR MORE GUN CONTROL
AND POLICIES THAT FAILED.
NO, NO, NO.
THESE POLICIES ISN'T FAIL.
THE ONLY FAILURE IS THAT WE
FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM.
THANKFULLY THERE ARE PEOPLE IN
THE BUREAU OF TABC WHO BLEW THE
WHISTLE AND SAID WE TOLD THEM
THIS WAS GOING TO GET SOMEBODY
KILLED.
THIS IS NOT PROPER LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
NEVER LEARNED ANYTHING LIKE THIS
IN ACADEMY.
WE KNOW FROM THEIR NEGATIVE
CHARACTERIZATION AS WELL AS THE
DOCUMENTS PUT INTO THE DOCUMENT,
THIS WAS A PLAN.
YOU ARE CRITICAL OF THIS
INVESTIGATION.
THIS WAS AN INTERNAL WATCHDOG
WITHIN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
I WOULD ASSUME YOU WOULD SAY
THEY ARE SOME WHAT OF A BIASSED
INVESTIGATORS? THE WOLF
REPORT FROM THE CHICKEN COOP
THERE IS NOBODY BUT UZ CHICKENS.
I DON'T BELIEVE THE WOLF NO MORE
THAN I BELIEVE THIS REPORT HAD
GONE FAR ENOUGH.
THEY BELIEVE FIRING DEPUTY
WINESTEIN, THAT IS ENOUGH
OFFERING TO STOP THE ANGER OF
THE FOLKS PURSUING THIS MATTER.
MANY MORE THAN MR. WINESTEIN
WERE INVOLVED IN THIS SCANDAL.
MANY MORE COMMITTED PERJURY.
LANY BREWER IS BEING REFERRED
FOR POSSIBILITY PROSECUTION FOR
PERJURY AND OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE.
LARRY, WE APPRECIATE YOU
BEING WITH US TODAY.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S APPROVAL
RATING BACK ABOVE 50 PERCENT FOR
THE FIRST TIME SINCE MAY.
AMERICANS ARE FEELING BETTER
ABOUT THE FUTURE AND OBAMA'S JOB
PERFORMANCE.
IT SHOWS A TIGHT RACE FOR THE
WHITE HOUSE OBAMA AT 47 PERCENT
AND MITT ROMNEY AT 46 PERCENT OF
LIKELY VOTERS.
ROMNEY STILL TAKING HEAT FOR
OBAMA SUPPORTER VICTIM REMARKS.
THE PRESIDENT IS UNDER FIRE FOR
WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION BACK IN
1998.
HOW DO WE FACILITATE SOME
REDISTRIBUTION BECAUSE I
ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN
REDISTRIBUTION TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY HAS GOT A SHOT.
ROMNEY SAYS IT SHOWS THAT
OBAMA BELIEVES YOU SHOULD TAKE
FROM SOME AND GIVE TO OTHERS.
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS RETURN
TO SCHOOL IN CHICAGO.
TEACHERS WALKED OFF THE JOB OVER
EVALUATIONS AND JOB SECURITY.
CHICAGO MAYOR RAUM EMMANUEL
CALLS THE TENTATIVE AGREEMENT AN
HONEST COMPROMISE.
STILL NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY
THE TEACHER UNIONS.
THIS SUMMER MORENO WOULD
OPPOSE A CHICK-FIL-A RESTAURANT.
HE SAYS NOW HE WON'T.
CHICK-FIL-A PROMISES TO NO
LONGER CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO
GROUPS THAT OPPOSE GAY MARRIAGE.
RESPECTING ALL PEOPLE BACK IN
JULY BEFORE MORENO RAISED THE
ISSUE.
CHICK-FIL-A SENT US THE SAME
STATEMENT TODAY.
IT DOESN'T ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
DONATIONS.
WE HAVE MORE ON THIS STORY AT
CBNNEWS.COM.
UP NEXT, IT IS ALL ABOUT
LOCATION.
WE WILL TELL YOU WHY NOT ALL
BODY FAT IS CREATED EQUAL.
TRUTH IS ALL FAT IS NOT
CREATED EQUAL, THAT IS WHAT
SCIENTISTS RECENTLY DISCOVERED.
IT COMES DOWN TO LOCATION,
LOCATION, LOCATION.
MOST DANGEROUS PLACE FOR FAT IS
AROUND THE MIDDLE.
DID YOU KNOW WE CARRY TWO
KINDS OF FAT?
SURPRISINGLY THE JIGLY BLUBBER
YOU SEE IN BATHING SUIT PICTURES
IS THE SAFER KIND, SUBCUTANEOUS
FAT, RIGHT UNDER THE SKIN.
THE REALLY DANGEROUS FAT HIDES
DEEP INSIDE THE MID SECTION
PRESSING UP AGAINST VITAL ORGANS
LIKE HEART, LIVER AND LUNGS.
IT IS CALLED VISCERAL FAT, ALSO
KNOWN AS BELLY FAT. AS YOU
BECOME OBESE AND GAIN WEIGHT,
YOU START TO GAIN MORE VISCERAL
FAT.
DR. DAVID LEE LED A STUDY AT
EASTERN VIRGINIA MEDICAL SCHOOL
COMPARING THE TWO TYPES OF FAT.
VISCERAL FAT ASSOCIATED WITH
INCREASED RISK FOR HEART DISEASE
AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND
DIABETES.
SUBCUTANEOUS FAT IS THE LESS
INFLAMMATORY, MORE HEALTHY OF
THE TWO TYPES OF FAT.
THIS SO-CALLED BELLY FAT CAN
LEAD TO HEART ATTACKS, CANCERS,
STROKES AND EVEN DEMENTIA.
EVEN THOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT
TO SEE WHETHER WE HAVE TOO MUCH
FAT DEEP IN OUR BELLY.
THERE IS AN AT-HOME TEST, GET
ONE OF THESE AND MEASURE AROUND
YOUR WAIST. WOMEN HIT THE
DANGER ZONE AT MORE THAN 35
INCHES, FOR MEN 40 INCHES.
GOOD NEWS, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO
CHANGE IT.
BOTTOM LINE, PUT THE TIME IN.
JAMIE KNOWS ABOUT GETTING RID OF
BELLY FAT.
START WITH THE DIET.
TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM REFINED
AND PROCESSED FOODS, BOXES AND
PACKAGES, CERTAINLY SHOEING RI
FOODS.
THEN TURN ON THE BURN.
JUST SIMPLY GET MOVING.
YOUR AEROBIC EXERCISE, GETTING
THE HEART RATE UP, WORKING INTO
THAT SWEAT.
THEN LIFT WEIGHTS.
MORE MUSCLE, MORE CALORIES
YOU BURN AT REST.
MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR ZZZ'S
TO KEEP STRESS LEVELS AT BAY.
WHEN YOU ARE NOT GETTING
ENOUGH SLEEP, THAT CONTRIBUTES
TO YOUR BELLY FAT AS WELL.
BETTY BROTHERS FOLLOWS IT TO
THE LETTER.
A LOT OF CHICKEN AND FISH AND
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, NO
DESSERTS, AVERAGE 52 MILES A
WEEK AND WORKOUT AT THE JIM
THREE DAY AS WEEK.
THIS GREAT GRANDMOTHER STAYS
IN FAR BETTER SHAPE THAN MOST
PEOPLE HER AGE.
EVEN SOME OF MY CLASSMATES
ARE SO OBESE.
THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF HEALTH
ISSUES AND MEDICATIONS.
IT IS JUST SO SAD.
SHE SPENDS PRACTICALLY
NOTHING ON HEALTH CARE, LIMITING
DOCTOR VISITS TO REGULAR
CHECKUPS AND ONLY PILL IS A
MULTIVITAMIN.
JUST THINK HOW MUCH MONEY THE
INSURANCE COMPANIES COULD SAVE
AND INDIVIDUALS IF THEY TRIED TO
TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
IF THE NATURAL APPROACH ISN'T
ENOUGH TO GET RID OF BELLY FAT,
SOME DOCTORS RECOMMEND BAR YAT
RICK SURGERY.
PEOPLE TEND TO LOSE WEIGHT.
CUT THE BELLY FAT DOWN TO
SIZE.
IT IS AN INVESTMENT THAT COULD
ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE.
I TRY TO EAT HEALTHY.
I WANT TO SEE THIS GREAT
GRANDCHILD GROW.
[LAUGHTER].
LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.
FINALLY TONIGHT, PASTOR
YOUSEF NADARKHANI HAS WRITTEN A
THANK YOU LETTER TO ALL THAT
PRAYED.
IT BEGINS WITH SCRIPTURE.
NOT TO US, TO YOUR NAME BE LOYAL
PSALM 115:1.
I AM ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL FOR
GOODNESS AND DEVINE PROTECTION.
I HAVE BEEN PUT TO THE TEST.
I HAVE NEVER FELT LONELINESS AND
ALL THE ENERGY AND SUPPORT OF
THOSE THAT OBEYED THEIR
CONSCIENCE AND FOUGHT FOR THE
RIGHTS OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS.
THANKS TO THESE EFFORTS, I HAVE
THE ENORMOUS JOY TO BE BY MY
WIFE AND CHILDREN.
YOU CAN FIND THE COMPLETE LETTER

WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT HAS BEEN TO
REPORT.
I HOPE WE GET TO INTERVIEW
HIM SOON.
