Has the lost tomb of Jesus been finally found?

Answer 1

Nope.
That was discovered over 20 years ago,it's only now that it's made a comeback.
The main scholar who is the source for the story does not think it is Jesus' tomb.
Mary, Joseph, & Jesus are among the four most popular names in the ancient world,much like James,Matthew,and Margaret are today.They weren't unusual names in the slightest.Says Bar-Ilan University Professor Amos Kloner,"..those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE and CE"
DNA cannot prove the identity of a person if they do not have another sample.All the DNA can prove,is that they are related to each other.But,they didn't even have any bones to testin the first place!
Jesus' family isn't even from Jerusalem.Why would they be buried there?
Prof. Amos Kloner, the Jerusalem District archeologist who officially oversaw the work at the tomb in 1980 and has published detailed findings on its contents, on Saturday night dismissed the claims. "It makes a great story for a TV film," he told The Jerusalem Post. "But it's impossible. It's nonsense."
Kloner, who said he was interviewed for the new film but has not seen it, said the names found on the ossuaries were common, and the fact that such apparently resonant names had been found together was of no significance. He added that "Jesus son of Joseph" inscriptions had been found on several other ossuaries over the years.
"There is no likelihood that Jesus and his relatives had a family tomb," Kloner said. "They were a Galilee family with no ties in Jerusalem. The Talpiot tomb belonged to a middle-class family from the 1st century CE."
Archeological evidence shows that chances of these being the actual
burialsof the Holy Family are almost nil," said Motti Neiger, a spokesman for the
Antiquities Authority.
Prof. Kloner said there was no way the tomb housed the Holy Family.
The senior Israeli archaeologist who thoroughly researched the tombs after their discovery, and at the time deciphered the inscriptions, cast serious doubt on it.
"It is just not possible that a family who came from Galilee, as the New Testament tells us of Joseph and Mary, would be buried over several generations in Jerusalem."

Answer 2

Maybe, who knows. Who cares? Jesus isn't in the tomb anymore, He's risen! Who cares about the tomb?

Yes, I know it would be interesting if they found it, but don't mistake speculation for imperical evidence. I would require some proof that the tomb was the right tomb. It is possible Jesus' tomb isn't even in existance anymore. Alot has happened in that area in 2000 years, and I'm sure more than a few people have done some engineering, perhaps land engineering, in the Jerusalem area. For all we know the tomb may have been destroied.

Answer 3

His body is also in India, and in Japan if you believe the stories on the web. There are historically recognized sites in each country, where Jesus is supposedly buried after living out his life. More likely he died somewhere in Israel, in John there is no discussion of any ascension.

Answer 4

Jesus never died, so no his tomb isn't found. he will be sent down soon though, at the rate this world is nearing the end

Answer 5

The tomb in which Jesus had been buried was found 2000 years ago empty because He had risen from the dead.

Answer 6

I really doubt it. How could they ever prove it was Jesus? They have no DNA to go by and nothing but names on a coffin.

I don't believe in the resurrection story - but I don't think you can prove you found Jesus' body, either.

Answer 7

The name Jesus back then was like Noah today. Not a common name, but not unheard of either. Plus they think that the name was not translated correctly.

Answer 8

Nope. Jesus got out of that 2000 years ago!

Answer 9

Jesus did not remain in a tomb, he was resurrected and walked the earth then went to heaven.

Answer 10

No, it's still in the same place it's always been. He only used it for round about 3 days.
