Did anyone watch the "Tomb Of Jesus" on the Discovery Channel Sunday night?

Question

Did you think it was convincing? Do you think it was Jesus' and his family tomb? Did you watch the debate afterwards? What did you think?

Answer 1

I find it interesting and dismaying how ALL these so called "explanation" television programs regarding practically everything Biblical are only a cover to their real objective....to discredit the Bible as the word of God. "Noah's Ark--the REAL story" is a perfect example of trying to explain away, without rebuttal, an event extensively written about in the Bible. Well, I guess it comes down to this: A person of faith NEEDS no proof, where for a person without faith, no amount of proof will ever be enough.

Answer 2

A friend of mine recorded it and played it back for me last night. I didn't see the debate afterwards. I have to admit it is interesting, but I'm far from convinced. When I heard they were going to try to get DNA from Jesus' family, I thought it was a joke.

I never really thought about the theory that his physical body may have been left on earth and it and his family may be buried somewhere.

Answer 3

I think it had some evidence which needs more investigating. It was compelling and worthy of more attention. I think most that are fearful will argue the evidence was bunk , but fail to view it objectively. just as most disregard these facts :

- God was his father
- He was born in a cowshed.
- A human woman, a virgin, was his mother.
- His birth was prophesized by a star in the heavens.
- At a marriage ceremony, he performed the miracle of converting water into wine.
- He was powerless to perform miracles in his hometown.
- His followers were born-again through baptism in water.
- He rode triumphantly into a city on a donkey. Tradition records that the inhabitants waved palm leaves.
- He had 12 disciples.
- He was accused of licentious behavior.
- He was killed near the time of the Vernal Equinox, about MAR-21.
- He died "as a sacrifice for the sins of the world."
- He was hung on a tree, stake, or cross.
- After death, he descended into hell.
- On the third day after his death, he returned to life.
- The cave where he was laid was visited by three of his female followers.
- He later ascended to heaven.
- His titles: God made flesh. Savior of the world Son of God.
- He is "God made man," and equal to the Father.
- He will return in the last days.
- He will judge the human race at that time.
- Humans are separated from God by original sin. The godman's sacrificial death reunites the believer with God and atones for the original sin.

Did you guess Jesus Christ? Well, it was OSIRIS-DIONYSUS, an Egyptian God that existed thousands of years before Christ allegedly came around

or

-was born on December 25th.
-was considered a great traveling teacher and master.
-had 12 companions or disciples.
-performed miracles.
-was buried in a tomb.
-after three days he rose again.
-his resurrection was celebrated every year.
-was called "the Good Shepherd."
-was considered "the Way, the Truth and the Light, the Redeemer, the Savior, the Messiah."
-was identified with both the Lion and the Lamb.
-his sacred day was Sunday, "the Lord's Day,".
-he had his principal festival on what was later to become Easter, at which time he was resurrected.
-his religion had a Eucharist or "Lord's Supper."

If you guessed Jesus Christ, well, it wasn't , it was... MITHRA, a Roman-Persian God who existed hundreds of years before Christ.

("He who will not eat of my body and drink of my blood, so that he will be made on with me and I with him, the same shall not know salvation." This inscription to Mithras, which parallels John 6:53-54, is inside the Vatican in the tomb of Saint Peter.)


ahhhh things they don't teach you in sunday school.
