It belongs to a different Jesus. This tomb was discovered 27 years ago and the Israeli Archaeological Agency long ago determined it could not, in fact, have belonged to the Jesus of the Gospels

Myself, I'm tired of seeing the questions about "Jesus' tomb". It's not true anyway.

Basically because as, St Paul said, "If Christ be not risen from the dead, then is your faith vain". Those arranging this display want Christians to give up and shut up.
But what they say in Europe about it is worth repeating here. The quality papers have articles written by journalists and archaeologists who are not Christian, but who nonetheless see all that hullabaloo in New York primarily as a means of making money out of worthless evidence. They point out that Mary was by far the most common name in Israel in Jesus's time, and Jesus and Joseph were very common names too. (You only have to look at the crowd of Marys at the foot of the cross mentioned in the Gospels to see how common the name was). Jesus is Latin for Iesous, which is the New Testament Greek form for Yeshua, Jesus's Jewish name. Yeshua is the same name as Joshua, who was the great military leader who after Moses conquered the Holy Land for the Jews. At a time when the Jews had been conquered by Greeks and then by Romans and occupied under the rule of a Roman Governor, to call your child Joshua (Yeshua) was a patriotic act that showed you hoped he would free the Jewish nation. These were really common names at the time. And what is the value of a DNA test when nobody knows anything about the DNA of the "prophet" Jesus? Nil!
In any case Jesus's family came from Nazareth, a tiny and very poor village in the far North of Israel. They were not a rich family of the capital, able to afford a rich cave tomb with a scuptured doorway, something that must have cost a fortune to dig out and carve. Jesus's father was a simple village carpenter, his friends simple fishermen from Lake Galilee. That is where he lived and preached most of the time, just coming up to Jerusalem to celebrate the passover, knowing his enemies would kill him there. His father is never mentioned after Jesus's childhood and probably had been dead for 15-20 years.
The only reason Jesus was buried in a rich cave-tomb was because his richest follower, Joseph of Arimathaea, lent his disciples his own unused tomb to put him in. Probably, had his body rotted there, it would have been placed by Joseph in a big jar, and then he would have buried himself there and his own family, too.

For all who believes in Jesus and Christianity, don't be puzzled about this things happening on Earth. Many events right now comes on our society about our Lord Jesus. There's Da Vinci code before, and now, about the allegedly "tomb of Jesus". All of this things trying to shake our faith. But again, don't be puzzled and shaken about all this things. As the Bible says that "anti-Christ" will come out in the open, many false prophets will come to fool many people. Read Matthew chapter 24. One thing must be done by people, stay doing good to others, love your neighbors and your families. Do not do things that are against your conscience, and live a simple life.

evidence is evidence, whether at matches one's beliefs or not. You can't dismiss findings because they contradict your faith. It is interesting that some people dismissed the tomb before any research had been carried out when it was first discovered. Now it has been brought back into the public eye and again it is dismissed. Whether is it the tomb of Jesus and his wife and kid or not is not as interesting as watching the different reactions from different faith groups.

Jesus resurrected and even if it isn't Jesus' bones who cares cause everyone that believes in Jesus and reads this question just thinks " here's another person thinking up another reason to not believe in him" when in the end everyone needs someone to look up to, someone to guide them, and someone to love them

Because there is a small, fearful contingent of pathetic human inhabitants on this planet who desperately want to demoralize Christian believers. Of course, that is impossible to do.
So far, they have failed to disprove anything written in the Bible. All evidence that has been discovered has instead supported it.

The bottom line is nobody will ever be able to prove that is the one and only Jesus of Nazareth. Also, no one will be able to prove it is not. So we might as well move on.

it doesnt matter wat tey say. christ hav already said "for i know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves"(Acts 20:29,30). christ hav already warned us about all this. for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God
Have faith people.
