Jesus' tomb?! And He had a child?!?

Question

So tell me what you think of this? Would Jesus have married and had a child?!

Do you think God would ever 'allow' the tomb to be found? How could anyone prove it was His?

Answer 1

No,that it not His tomb,and no,He was not married,nor did He have a child.
It was actually discovered over 20 years ago,it's only now that people are paying attention to it.
The most popular names in that era for males were:
Simon
Joseph
Eleazar
Judah
John
Jesus
Hananiah
Jonathan
Matthew
Manaen/Menahem
The most popular female names for that era were:
Mary/Mariamne
Salome
Shelamzion
Martha

In that era,21% of Jewish women were named Mary!

There is no other DNA sample of Jesus or His family to compare the remains with!Allthe DNA proves,is that the ones in the tomb were related!

Jesus' family were not even from Jerusalem.Jospeh's home he grew up in was in Bethlehem,and Jesus and his family lived in Galilee.Why would they be buried in Jerusalem,where they had no connection?

There is absolutely no evidence supporting the idea that Jesus was married or had a child,biblical or non-biblical.

The ossuaries that mention Mary,do not have any other descriptive features.They simply say 'Mary'.

The 'James son of Joseph,brother of Jesus' ossuary,which the makers of this film used to try and back up their claim,has been proven to be a forgery.

The main scholar who is the source for the story does not think it is Jesus' tomb.

Says Bar-Ilan University Professor Amos Kloner,"..those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE and CE"

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." “"They just want to get money for it,"
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."

Kloner 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
burials of the Holy Family are almost nil," said Motti Neiger, a spokesman for the
Antiquities Authority.


"Simcha has no credibility whatsoever," says Joe Zias, who was the curator for anthropology and archeology at the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem from 1972 to 1997 and personally numbered the Talpiot ossuaries. "He's pimping off the Bible … He got this guy Cameron, who made 'Titanic' or something like that—what does this guy know about archeology? I am an archeologist, but if I were to write a book about brain surgery, you would say, 'Who is this guy?' People want signs and wonders. Projects like these make a mockery of the archeological profession."

Stephen Pfann, a biblical scholar at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem who was interviewed in the documentary, said the film's hypothesis holds little weight. "How possible is it?" he said. "On a scale of one through 10 - 10 being completely possible , it's probably a one, maybe a one and a half."


The official report written by Prof. Kloner found nothing remarkable in the discovery. The cave, it said, was probably in use by three or four generations of Jews from the beginning of the Common Era. It was disturbed in antiquity, and vandalized.

In short,the archaeological world (and that of serious scholars) is laughing at this movie.They do not take it seriously,or believe in it,in the slightest.

Answer 2

I just heard about this today. Do I believe its true? No. They say that they have DNA evidence which just goes to show you they are lying. Have they ever found Mary's tomb? Not to my knowledge? So where are they getting the DNA sample? You can't swab the inside of Gods cheek can you? Umm no? I have no doubt we will have all sorts of atheist out there that feel justified now but the simple fact that they claim to have the DNA shows its a lie pure and simple.

Remember this if you do not remember anything else. Good liars give details but the best ones do not. They would have done more to get people to believe it by leaving out the DNA claim.

Answer 3

Yeah, you're correct, yet after the quantity of money the da vinci code made with similar claims, why might want to a grasping moron no longer opt for to bounce on the publicity bandwagon like a starving predator on sickly prey? If it makes you sense any extra useful, even secular scientists have brushed off this declare as nonsense. BTW, pyshomistress stated something about bone fragments being chanced on. fairly the bones were in there, yet were buried in a deferential custom as i'm assuming is finished with all reveals from that section. also, this brilliant and impressive discovery (sarcasm) replaced into chanced on a minimum of 20 years in the past. also, both Jesus and Mary were very basic names, that is like someone thousands of years from now digging up graves and assuming that they had chanced on one particular "Amy" and "Matthew". no longer bloody probable.

Answer 4

Who knows about the tomb? I guess that what is faith is all about.

I doubt Jesus would have had a child because if He did then some people will start worshipping the child and all of its offsprings.

Answer 5

I haven't seen the info much on this, other than some discussion with the archeologist.....but why would he not marry or have a child and ... Why would a god want to hide the truth?

Answer 6

I don't think it is the christ tomb, he wasnt buried in a family tomb. He had to be buried quickly and a man told them they could use his tomb.

Answer 7

This is all nonsense to us Bible believers. Unbelievers can say anything but it means nothing if it contradicts the inspired Word
of God. Its the word of some man or woman versus the inspired Word of God. I'll take God's Word...anyday.

Answer 8

Even the Jewish Archaologists have their doubts on this one.

The ONLY advocate is James Cameron, a director trying to hype his film on Jesus.

This is going to be a wait and see thing.

You know when the JEWS come to the aid of the CHRISTIANS, you know there is some uncertainty there!

Answer 9

married why not, he was just a normal Jewish man, people in later years , are the ones that [hijacked his name] to us for >>>there<<< religion. years after i die, people will say this or that about me, and i wouldn't be able to re fut the false claims, just like Jesus cant stop the lies that are being told about him.

Answer 10

Yes, Jesus was likely married and had children, although that has little to do with the tomb you are talking about.
