Do you believe the Tomb of Jesus has been discovered?

Question

In Israel do you believe the tomb of the holy ones has been found. Mary Mathew Joseph Jesus.

Ok so they were not so holy maybe just Jeasus. Well 14 you blow my mind...right I agree he is saving his biggest magic trick for last. Yea, and being put up on a cross to suffer that way I wouldnt let my son die on any dam cross especially if I were God. Did I get that right? Yes, he was the son of GOD.

Answer 1

Filmmaker James Cameron is claiming he and some archeologists found the tomb of Jesus’s family. All the casket-like things called ossuaries are empty. I wonder what the archeologists were thinking when they found an ossuary with Jesus’s name on it. I can imagine the moment they removed the lid and looked in. If it were me, I’d wonder if I was going to see one of the following:

1. Nothing
2. Decomposed stuff
3. Jesus sitting up and saying, “What in Dad’s name took you so long?”

If you put an ordinary guy in an ossuary for 2,000 years, he’d clearly be dead. But if I were opening that ossuary I’d be wondering if maybe someone put Jesus in there after he died but before he arose. And maybe it’s hard to get out once you get in. I’d be worried that Jesus arose inside the stone box, and he’d be totally pissed that no one let him out until now.

I realize that this would not be the most rational worry in the world. But I like to base my worries on an expected value calculation. So for example, a 90% chance of getting a sliver would worry me about the same as a .000001% chance of a nuclear bomb going off in the backyard. In this ossuary example, I’d be looking at maybe a 2% chance of waking up an angry Jesus. I say that’s worth a worry.

If Jesus was in there, and sat up when I took the lid off, I’d first try to judge how angry he looked. If he had that money-changers-in-the-temple look, I’d go with a joke, like “Ha ha! Turn the other cheek!” Or maybe I’d try to explain to him that the extra suffering was extra good for humanity, and after all, that’s his job. Then I’d say, “Hey, I don’t like my job either, but you don’t see me complaining all the time.”

I know that some of you will say that if Jesus could move that big rock that was allegedly in front of his tomb in the traditional telling of his life, he’d have no trouble removing an ossuary lid. But he wasn’t supposed to be in an ossuary in the first place, so obviously if this ossuary is genuine, some of the details of the story were wrong. And if God let Jesus be crucified, it’s not a huge stretch of the imagination to think he’d let him stay in a stone box for 2,000 years. It makes sense to save your coolest miracle for when it’s needed most. And I think you’ll agree that this would be a good time for a messiah. And if you were God, you’d want James Cameron attached to this production. So it makes sense to me.

That’s why I’d be a crappy archeologist. I’d be afraid to open anything.

Answer 2

i watched i left with more questions then i started with

1. i thought it was a sin for Jews to touch the dead?

2 they took the time to write on there Jesus Son of Joesph and Judah son of Jesus but not Mary mother of Jesus?

3. Mary would have been buried with Joesph plain as that they wouldn't have two separate tombs. in fact Jesus would have been transported back to his falters tomb.

4. first James bone box is a fake now it's not lol

5.i loved the way they just shoved Mathew box out of the way lol

6. and they only did DNA on Jesus and Mary no one else

and why was Marys name in her Latin name and not her Hebrew name that right there screamed it was a fake but the show never addressed any of these things they went in there saying we have them there. so that's that i mean they didn't even date any thing
and that symbol at the top of the tomb they didn't even try ti find out what it meant to me sorry to say that looks like a Temple symbol oh BTW i am Christian but i wouldn't feel threatened if this was all true because maybe Christ spirit ascended and not his body and i have no prob with him and Mary being married i have always thought the church was hiding some thing about him and Mary they were really close if u read the bible

Answer 3

I have been in Jesus' tomb in 1988 - so this is not a new Discovery - as there are no bones in this tomb as He was only
there 3 days - - - when the stone rolled away

sorry - what some people will do for their 15 minutes of fame

BTW - it's only 150 yards from Calvary, or Golgotha, where He was crucified.

I believe Jesus was laid to rest in the Garden Tomb, and not the place
in the Greek church - because - it's inside the city of Jerusalem
and they NEVER would have buried anybody inside the city walls.

Answer 4

Mary, Mathew and Joseph were not holy ones. Jesus was a common name so it might have been the tomb of A Jesus but not the tomb of THE Jesus.

Answer 5

its very possible. It really depends on what your opinion is on to religion on how you will answer this question. Lots of ppl will say its all crap and they dont want to belive it because it will screw up their years of belief. I however, am openminded. There are dozens and dozens or religions...all starting out thousands of years ago. All with proof of where their *God* came from and started. Now since I know I was not around back then, I cant say which religion is *the one* I don't think its right to crack on other ppls religions because they stake their whole lives around their belief. What if God left his body but rose in spirit? I think they need to do more testing and dig some more up. I think this finding is really cool becuase this is our history. We are seeing small pieces of what it was like back in the day. We all need something to believe in..we need something to look forward to after death, it makes passing easier

Answer 6

It had to turn up eventually like everything else, after seeing the show, yes. 1in 300000 or something close odd of it not being it that narrows it down a lot it me. Of course some will say they need more proof or whatever and never belive, even if a big neon sign or God herself tell everyone yes this is his family.

Answer 7

I thought it was a an interesting story. But it was just that, a story. There was little to no proof and some of the theories were so far-fetched.

For instance, it MUST be Mary Magdalene, and Jesus MUST have been married, and they MUST have had a child. No thanks.

Answer 8

Hey, just because my body from 2000 years ago was found doesn't mean it's the real me.





I mean, there are lots of Matthews; this guy could just be another poser Matthew. Besides, how are you gonna prove it, eh? Match it up to the soggy graham crackers that formed a heart and some guy's left elbow? Or are you gonna try using my red scarf that you said you found blood on? Eh? Comon. =P

Answer 9

Even if it was the tomb of Jesus, how would they possibly be able to prove that?

Answer 10

I don't think we will ever learn the real truth of it....because if it is true...it would turn the religious 'right' on their rear...so it will not be recognized for truth... if it is they will never allow it to become accepted...so it really comes down to belief... do you or don't you believe..........things that just make you go hummmm....I believe it is possible....the 'church' is known throughout history for coloring things the way they wish them to be....
