If a person believes the Bible to be true (as genuine Christians do) then it would be a hoax. Since the Bible says Jesus was resurrected, and sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven--it would be impossible to find His bones anywhere except in His body (in heaven.)

It is a hoax. Jesus ascended to heaven after his resurrection from the grave. There are no bones to find and there is nothing that could persuade to believe that the bones found were His.

There's no way to know. I think, statistically, for the tomb of such a massive historical figure to have survived is relatively improbable. It would be one thing if he was a wealthy king or something during his life time, but his following at the time of his burial - be it at 33 or 50-something - was not sufficient to afford the kind of burial that would be noteworthy thousands of years later. As such, the idea of a common tomb just happening to be that of Jesus surviving AND being discovered is pretty far-fetched.

Hoax! Read yer Bible, dude. It sez that when He was resurrected and then taken up into Heaven, he was taken BODY and SOUL! There are no bones to be found! How could so many Christians allow themselves to be suckered by this hogwash?

I am catholic and I believe they have, unfortunately religion wont accept it even if it is true, common sense and logic are not strong abilities within the religious realm today, in my view Christian religion teeters on the edge of insanity in a lot of it's teachings, and as for the Islamic religion I see that as insanity beyond comprehension, and that's my opinion, May the real God have mercy on all of them.

Hoax. Just like DaVinci code was only a story.
My Bible and my pastor tell me the truth about this.

Same box found in the 1980's and was not of Jesus Christ.
Hollywood is falsehood and making money is their business even if they deceive the world.

Well, people will probably keep trying, for whatever reason.
Those are not his bones, as we all know. If the Roman Guard and the Sanhedrin couldn't find them...nobody can!
