to see a truly in depth and thorough scientific investigation of the Jesus Tomb findings? As a Christian, I know I would. I believe it would prove unequivocally that the tomb that was found is not that of Jesus Christ. Being that science is often used against Christian beliefs, maybe this time science can actually be used in our favor for a change.

if GOD is perfect and dont make mistakes what happened with satan and if god know's what will happen in the future ,then he knew that satan would rebell , so if this is true , is creation just a big world full of good and evil struggling , fighting and killing in war's what is the purpose of creation ."

So what if they re-write it again and say that his spirit rose and they had to keep his family a secret . Does it really matter to anyone what the truth is .
No one can prove Jesus existed in the first place . The books of the bible are as suspect as the tomb of Jesus .
No one can prove the bibles accuracy . Its a story folks . You believe it or you do not .
One way or another it can cause no harm .
Well except that dozens of wars have been caused by it . That the old testament God is so weak he resorts to violence and murder like common criminals who beat their wifes and kids today claiming that God gave them the right to handle their family the way they want . The man is the ruler of his house .
Only in the last few years have the marriage vows changed . A hundred years ago women where the servants of men . If the husband died and an un-married brother was about the wife became his according to law in almost all states .

What is the harm in religion it maintains order .

Why do all of the tombs say the names, like Maria or Matthew and Jesus' tomb says Jesus, Son of Joseph? Why doesn't it say just Jesus? Also, why does it not say Jesus, Son of God?

I don't know, but the more I think about it, the more I am apt to think that a person tends to live the life they want, rather than the life the think they want.

Why do I think this way?
Oh, because that is what everybody seems to be doing.
You may say you want to live another way, but you aren't, so that must mean that this is what you really want and not something else, or else you would be living that life.

Does that make any sense?

Well, I'm currently an atheist. However, I am an open minded atheist. I am willing to consider the existence of a God. What evidence do you have for a God?

This evening I saw the docu-drama about the excavation of what director Simcha Jacobovici claims to be the Tomb of Christ. Does anyone else think that there might be a slight possibility that this man's Jewish faith may have something to do with the slanted content of the docu-drama? I found it interesting that a Jew would make a documentary on this subject. The film appears to be a blatant attempt to discredit the Biblical narrative of Jesus. It is filled with half truths and inuendo. In otherwords, it's like the Divinci Code all over again. If you check out the blog pages about him you will also note that a good many of his films have been directed toward New Testament characters. Did you see the program and if so, what is your opinion.

The Law of Karma
The law of karma assumes that every deliberate action has its own consequence and pursues the doer, often beyond the grave. The gross bodies that a soul inhabits in the course of transmigration are thus caused by its own acts of will, the morally good ones resulting in heavenly and human bodies and the evil actions yielding the infernal and animal ones.
All Indian religions believe in this efficacy of karma (deed), and also in a psychic body as a mechanism for the transference of deeds from one birth to the other. But the Jain is distinguished by his doctrine of a karmic body, consisting of a special kind of extremely subtle atom of matter by which the soul is enmeshed during the state of transmigration and from which it is not separated even at the time of death. This subtle matter, when bound with the soul, obstructs its innate qualities of omniscience and perfect bliss. The process of its operation is explained in the following manner. Molecules composing the organs of mind, speech and body, when activated, produce vibrations (yoga) in the soul and attract the karmic matter that pervades space. This influx alone is not sufficient to bind the soul. If the soul is actuated by passions (kas{taya) such as attachment or aversion, and indulges in evil actions, then this karmic matter is absorbed by the soul, as a wet cloth absorbs dust.
