Jesus tomb?

Question

According to James cameron, Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and they had a Son named Judah.

Id this the trinity now? Does this make Judah a Dimi-God, since he's part God and Part Human?

Should we all worship this Holy Family? ^_^

Here's a link to the discovery channel page about Jeus's tomb

Answer 1

I have looked at the evidence, and I think it does lend to the fact that this is indeed Jesus's tomb. The name on the ossurary was "Jesus, son of Joseph" and his mother along with Mary Magdalene were found all in the same tomb as was 3 of his brothers who were named on the boxes. And they are seeing if the James box found in the1980's is also part of the tomb (something about the remanates found on the outside portion they can tell if it was the original part of the tomb or not). You think that it would just be co-incidence that ALL those bodies just HAPPEN to be in one tomb?

And to the point that Jesus never married, that would never have been publicized because then his family (wife and son) would have been in mortal danger from Caesar. You think it would be so odd that a 33 year old Jewish man would be married and have a family? I think it would be more odd that he wasn't. The Bible has been rewritten so many times that the true meaning and historical facts have been lost. I find it interesting that so many people are willing to put their faith in a book that is not even the real meaning any more...but cold hard FACTS they just snub their noses at. Maybe it is true that humans are drawn to being nothing more than Sheep to be led and controlled.

Answer 2

Its somewhat controversial. From what I understand, they got here across a tomb with the names, Jesus, Mary, and Judah son of Jesus in it. ok i got here across some extra information on it. it variety of feels there are some experts and cons: professional: The names interior the tomb have been Joseph, Mary, Jesus son of Joseph, and Jonah son of Jesus. Cons: those have been very common names on the time. professional: Its a six hundred-a million danger that those common names could ensue to look interior the comparable tomb, as a results of fact the comparable relatives. Cons: that's believed uncertain Jesus's relatives ought to arise with the money for a tomb

Answer 3

No serious scholar takes the Discovery show seriously. It's fiction.

Think for your self. Why would Mary, Joseph and Jesus, a family derived from Bethlehem, living in Nazareth, have a family burial plot in Jersusalem? It's like saying a family originally from Ohio, who moved to Chicago, would purchase a burial plot in Baltimore. The story simply makes no sense.

Christ's tomb is well-known. It is under the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The only reason he alone was buried in Jerusalem was that he was crucified there. The tomb was given by one of his followers. Mary has no tomb as she was bodily raised into heaven by God, an event celebrated on the Feast of the Assumption. Jesus raised himself on Easter and returned to Heaven on Ascension Day.

As for the show, scholars are not even sure the name Jesus is on the artifacts, but if it was, that proves nothing. Jesus was a common name, so it is no different than finding something with the name Michael on it and saying it belongs to Michael the Archangel or MIchael Jordan. Even today, many in the Spanish speaking parts of the world are named Jesus. It is a shame that a network will show anything for ratings, but that is the world we live in.

As for the Holy Trinity, that refers to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is not a referral to a family but to the unique nature and person of God.

Answer 4

Number 1: James Cameron is totally deluded. Jesus was not married to Mary Magdalene, nor did he have a son. Jesus was/is God's son.

Number 2: Jesus was a common name during that time, however Jesus' family would not have been buried in the place where they say they found the grave. The bodies would have been buried in the town of their ancestors.

Number 3: The only person that you should worship is God himself. Anyone else that you worship is wrong.

I suggest that you read the Bible instead of looking at a stupid web-site article. Some of the articles are meant to delude people and draw them away from their faith in God. The Bible is the only thing that I need.

Answer 5

Cameron is pandering to the public and his "discovery" will be proven to be just bad science:

- The statistical analysis is not rigorous

- The name "Jesus" was a popular name at that time, appearing in 98 other tombs and on 21 other ossuaries

- There is no historical evidence that Jesus was ever married or had a child

- The earliest followers of Jesus never called him, "Jesus, son of Joseph"

- It's unlikely Joseph, who had died earlier in Galilee, would have been buried in Jerusalem

- The Talipot tomb and ossuaries probably would have belonged to a rich family, which is not a historical match for Jesus

- Fourth-century church historian Eusebius makes quite clear the body of James, brother of Jesus, was buried alone near the temple mount.

- The two Mary ossuaries do not mention anyone from Migdal, but just Mary, a common name

- By all ancient accounts, the tomb of Jesus was empty, making it unlikely that any body was moved, allowed to decay for a year, then be put into an ossuary.

- If Jesus had remained in the tomb, first-century opponents of Christianity would most certainly have found His body and put it on public display.

- Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site, said the conclusions cannot be supported by the evidence but it's a way to make money on television. He would have nothing to do with supporting the movie's assertions. "It's nonsense," he said.

- James, the half-brother of Jesus and author of the book of James, the early leader of the church in Jerusalem, was martyred for his faith. Why does James make no mention in his letter that Jesus was not bodily resurrected? When he was about to die why didn't he just recant his beliefs and say, 'Okay, okay! My brother didn't rise from the dead. Here's where we took him. Here's where his bones are. Here's our family tomb. We made the whole thing up?' People will generally not die for a lie when they know it's a lie. Why would James die perpetuating a lie when it would have been so easy to disprove? In fact why would any of the apostles go to their deaths for something they knew to be false?

As I have expected, there has been **no scientific or historical find** that has ever been shown to disprove the authenticity of the bible's history or theology.

Kind of sad to see that all it takes is a press conference for folks to form life-altering opinions versus taking the time to rationally examine all the issues and dig a little deeper. It is the Macdonald's generation: fast, superficial, and never satisfying.

Answer 6

Didn't that guy make the titanic movie?
I think that religious folk will dispute the part about JC having a son to the death. According to them JC would have never had a child with an "earthly" being.
Even if it were true, I wouldn't worship anyone from that part of the world. would rather torture myself by watching titanic over and over till I upchucked

Answer 7

That whole story is a bunch of farse. They got the idea from The Da Vince Code, which is a FICTIONAL book! The guy that wrote it is actually Catholic, and did not mean for his book to be taken literally. It's a whole bunch of junk. The Holy Family always was and always will be Jesus, Mary, and Jesus's foster father Joseph. That's it. The end of the line. The end of the story. That's THAT.

Answer 8

The only thing Cameron has is a few artifacts removed from an unidentified tomb 20 years ago. And a vivid imagination. Result - a cheap publicity stunt, so absurd as to be laughable.

Answer 9

Early in March of 2007, Hollywood director James Cameron announced something that he no doubt hoped would go down as well as Titanic. It was big news. When Cameron (with less subtlety than his Hollywood counterparts) attempted to sink Christianity by producing "the bones of Jesus," even Time Magazine couldn't help but use the word "showman" and be reminded of Hollywood fiction:

Ever the showman, (why does this remind me of the impresario in another movie, "King Kong", whose hubris blinds him to the dangers of an angry and very large ape?) Cameron is holding a New York press conference on Monday at which he will reveal three coffins, supposedly those of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. 1

Ironically, it's not the first time the imaginative director has tried to help us understand the Bible. A year earlier he produced a documentary that made big news in England:

The greatest story ever told has acquired a Hollywood twist. James Cameron, the director of Titanic, is the executive producer of a new documentary that claims to have uncovered fresh evidence confirming one of the most dramatic episodes in the Old Testament -- the parting of the Red Sea and the Jewish exodus from Egypt . . . Cameron believes the parting of the Red Sea may have been a tsunami that destroyed the pharaoh's army as it pursued the escaping Jews. The documentary claims the episode occurred not at the Red Sea but at the smaller Sea of Reeds, a marshy area at the northern end of the Gulf of Suez. An underwater earthquake may have released poisonous gases that turned the waters red. 2

So the opening of the Red Sea wasn't a spontaneous miracle of God. It was a well-timed earthquake and tsunami. Thanks, Mr. Cameraman, for framing that for us, and for putting the issue in focus.

Thanks also for digging up these bones and making Jesus Christ headline news once again. You have given us another springboard for the gospel.

So, is the Christian world shaking in its bones because of this "discovery"? Can we be sure that he is wrong?

I can only speak for myself when I say that there are a couple of things in life of which I am sure. The first is that the sun is hot. I may be wrong, but everything around me--my natural senses, my life's experience, science, etc., all come together to tell me that the sun is very hot. The second thing of which I am sure is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God--that He suffered and died for me, rose again on the third day and that "God has appointed Him to judge the quick and the dead." Of both these things I am sure, but only the second is a hill to die on.

The thought that someone has found the bones of Jesus doesn't even come up to being a very bad joke. It would be more credible for Mr. Cameron to produce a documentary telling us that the sun is made of ice. He could perhaps have it aired on the Comedy Channel.

Why am I so sure that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? Because He transformed my life. He made me a brand new person on the inside. The first time I was born, it was radical. I didn't exist, then I did. When I was "born again" (by the same Maker) it was just as radical.

To understand that, you have to look to the Law of Moses for a moment. It says, "You shall not commit adultery," but this Jesus of whom Mr. Cameron speaks, said, "But I say to you, whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." That's the standard humanity will be judged by, and I don't know about you, but that would leave me guilty, and the Bible warns that it would put me in Hell for eternity. That's why I need a Savior--a substitute who took my punishment, and then rose from the dead to give me peace with God.

It is because of that cross that I am forgiven, and it was the ultimate happy day "when Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, Jesus washed my sins away." That's the only hill I will die on . . . and that's because One has already died on a hill for me.

Answer 10

Great question and great web site - really makes you think.

We've seen a lot of these 'theories' emerge over the decades; all have proven to be a bit of the'Loch Ness' monster stigma.

This however, and the very useful site you submit, could be something totally different. What a crumbling of the "Old Order" this would signify!!
