will christianity be ruined this Sunday at 8pm on the discovery channel if they have found jesus christs tomb?

Question

and is ther a possible way jesus cold have been black?

Answer 1

I can't see any way anyone can 'prove' whose bones they found. It's just a bunch of hype. As to Jesus being black? I don't know, and I don't see how it would matter.

Answer 2

No Christianity will not suffer by this stunt from the discovery channel.
First of all the site of the ossuaries has been known about for twenty-seven years, and all the archaeologists agree that they mean nothing!
Amos Kloner; the man who originally excavated the site in 1980 dismisses the documentary as "nonsense" he goes on to say that ...the hyped up film is intellectually and scientifically dishonest.
There are many other aspects of this documented stunt (some of which the BBC did in the early nineties) that the respected authorities debunk as fiction.
As for the anvil of Christianity? It has weathered and broken a thousand, and nine hundred hammers of greater strength than this tomfoolery from the discovery channel.

Answer 3

They found this so called tomb back in 1980. They ran a similar documentary back in 1996 in England, where they dismissed it as fake.

Christianity is being attacked more and more these days, as it predicted. In the latter days, Christians will be referred to as "haters", those that will go against the Antichrist.

All this is doing is showing that what is written in the scripture is all truth.

There is NO WAY this is the tomb of Jesus Christ, for He died, was buried, rose on the third day. Was send by 500 plus people after His death and resurrection.

If your faith is weak, you will allow the seed of doubt to enter in. If you are strong in your faith, you will see this as it really is, an attack on God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Answer 4

It won't ruin Christianity... it'll just give others more ammo. But the only thing I see Mainstream Christianity doing with this is denying it all together. Funny, when they found James ossuary (spelling?) they were emphatic that it was definitely James, Jesus' brother. Even when others were saying that James was a common name during that time, as was Jesus' name... they still held on that it was definitely the James of the Bible. Now that it's Jesus, it's a whole different story.....

I would say Jesus was dark skinned. He certainly wasn't white.

Answer 5

A TV show is not going to ruin Christianity. Take my word on that.

If they had found Jesus tomb - it wouldn't have had his name on it to begin with since he was buried in someone else's tomb to begin with.

Jesus was an Israelite. If you are making comment about the color - He very well could have had dark skin - but that wouldn't make Him someone that came from an African nation if that is the direction that you are suggesting by asking if Jesus had been black.

Answer 6

In all liklihood, Jesus was, if not black, at least dark brown, because that's the color people are in that part of the world.
Would finding His tomb destroy the religion? How could it? Finding the tomb wouldn't alter the precepts of Christianity.

Answer 7

Jesus could have been anything he wanted to be! It stands to reason though, that Jesus was neither black or white. He was a Jew who lived in the Middle East, Israel. Look at the people in the Middle East today (Israel, Iraq, Iran, Syria) and even Africa's borders - Egypt. What do they look like? Well, that is probably what Jesus looked like.

NO, the tomb is not Jesus Christ's bones. SATAN TELLS LIES!!

Answer 8

That show will just be another one of satans deceptions. All Christians know that Jesus is risen and even if they did find his tomb he would not be there. The Bible doesn't say what color Jesus was, the only thing we need to remember is he died for all of our sins no matter what color we are. Also I found this site that talks about that tomb here is what it says

Answer: In 1980, in Talpiot (a suburb of Jerusalem), Israel, a construction crew unearthed an ancient tomb. Inside the tomb was discovered ten ossuaries (burial bone boxes). Inscribed on these bone boxes were names. The discovery of the ossuaries was not unusual, as thousands of ancient ossuaries have been discovered in ancient tombs in and around Jerusalem. What was somewhat unusual was the names that were inscribed on the ossuaries: Jesus son of Joseph, Maria, Mariamene, Matthew, Judas son of Jesus, and Jose (likely an abbreviation of Joseph). The similarities of these names to the biblical Jesus and His family has led TV director Simcha Jacobovici and movie producer James Cameron to produce “The Jesus Family Tomb” in both movie and book form. Jacobovici and Cameron are making the claims that the Jesus Family Tomb is indeed the family burial place of Jesus and His family, and that the presence of Jesus’ bones disproves His resurrection. Is there any validity to the claims of the Jesus Family Tomb?
First, before we examine the question biblically, it is important to understand that no influential archaeologist has come forward in agreement with the Jesus Family Tomb project. The curator for anthropology and archeology at the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem from 1972 to 1997, Joe Zias, states that the project “makes a mockery of the archaeological profession.” Second, the ossuaries cannot conclusively be dated to the 1st century A.D., although they can likely be dated to that approximate time period. Third, there is evidence that the tomb had been disturbed and vandalized. It cannot be verified what was, or what was not, vandalized or stolen. On an archaeological basis alone, there is serious reason to doubt the authenticity of the Jesus Family Tomb project.
Historically and culturally speaking, there is further reasoning to reject the ideas of the Jesus Family Tomb project. The names “Jesus, Maria, Matthew, Judas, and Joseph” were all very common names in 1st century Israel. Some cultural historians estimate that as many as 25% of 1st century Jewish women were named Mary (Miriam). The New Testament confirms this by mentioning six different women named Mary, including three who were prominent in Jesus’ life (Jesus’ mother, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany). It would not be uncommon for a 1st century Jewish family to have the names Jesus (Yeshua), Mary (Miriam), Joseph, and Judas – as all were very popular Jewish names (due to their background in the Hebrew Scriptures
Biblically speaking, there are numerous reasons to reject the idea of the Jesus Family Tomb. First, the New Testament consistently states that Jesus’ family was from Nazareth (Matthew 2:13; Luke 2:4,39,51; John 1:45-46). If Jesus’ family had a tomb, it would have very likely been in Nazareth. Second, the Bible describes Jesus and his adopted father Joseph as carpenters (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3), likely making them financially poor and of a lower social status. The tomb discovered in Talpiot is the tomb of a wealthy family. Third, the New Testament states that Jesus’ body was buried in a tomb that belonged to Joseph of Arimathea, and that there were witnesses as to where Jesus was buried (Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:43-47; Luke 23:50-54; John 19:38-42). Without even considering the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, the New Testament account paints an entirely different account of Jesus, His family, and His burial. Even secular historians and archaeologists view the New Testament gospels as the best existing historical record of the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
Now, let’s get to the crux of the matter. The true motivation of the Jesus Family Tomb project is to deny the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The subtitle of the book is given as “The Discovery, the Investigation, and the Evidence That Could Change History.” Cameron, Jacobovici, and co-author Pellegrino have a clear agenda. They do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah, that Jesus was God-incarnate, or that Jesus was resurrected after His crucifixion. The discovery of the “Jesus Family Tomb” is simply a convenient basis for their argument, due to the similarities of the names on the ossuaries to the names of Jesus and His family. If it could be proven that the “Jesus Family Tomb” was indeed the tomb of the biblical Jesus of Nazareth and His family, the resurrection would be disproven, thus destroying the very foundation of the Christian faith (see 1 Corinthians chapter 15).
None of the suppositions of the Jesus Family Tomb project can be proven. In fact, the archaeological community is nearly unanimous in condemning the Jesus Family Tomb as a hoax, with no basis in history or archaeology. There is every reason to doubt the claims of the Jesus Family Tomb – archaeologically, historically, and biblically. The Christian faith has nothing to fear from honest and scientific archaeology.
In regards to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the true heart of this issue, there is much to be considered. Please examine our articles on “Why should I believe in Christ’s resurrection?”, “Biblical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus,” and “Why is the resurrection of Jesus Christ important?”

Answer 9

NO ! Jesus rose from the tomb 3 days after being in it

Answer 10

Amazing that people like you may believe that a movie director has proof without any Biblical historical knowledge.
They have trying for centuries to prove Jesus never ascended to heaven.
Why should they stop now?

Answer 11

I doubt Christianity will fall on Sunday at 8pm, because much of what is surrounding this tomb finding is speculation, not fact. It's media hype.
Jesus was Middle Eastern, a Jew. But not really black.
