So Who watched the Jesus Tomb last night

[DrKym]

Millions of people feel the same way about the Koran.

And the Talmud

I agree Dr. This could be and should be a fascinating converstation on a possible historic find. History is one of my favorite subjects, especially the Middle Ages and Henry V111. As you know he did quite a bit to change religion by proclaming himself head of the church of England. Everyone needs to keep an open mind and everyone needs to know that this is NOT an attack on anyone's beliefs. In fact this is just the opposite, it is a tread on what is, and what could be. Like finding a new planet or a new dinosaur fossell this could change everything. Knowledge is never bad, knowledge is growth. It is a gift to all who have a brain and a heart to except change. Without growth, knowledge and acceptice we would still be apes swinging in the trees. It was when we climbed down we learned about ourselves and this wonderful planet we call home.

[DrKym]

I agree wholeheartedly.

No one is implying that the Bible is wrong, just as no one is picking on any religion in this thread.

If what was found is the holy familys' tomb then it is a remarkable and sacred site, I for one think that the information gathered and the questions raised are and should be discussed.

Fear of questioning any book the bible included in all of it's 56 variations with certain sects claiming and rejecting books to fit their beliefs, would be foolhardy.

However the thread is about the wonderous find that has been made, and what to do with that find now.Not about the bible or it's many facets in and of itself, in this discussion its' sole purpose is as a reference manual.

But don't you see, this so called find, is saying just that, that the Bible is WRONG! It's saying that one of the most sacred beliefs of the Christians is a lie.

It's not a remarkable and sacred site, at least not to any true Christian who believes in the Bible. Nor is it a wonderous find. Maybe I'm a brainless fool but that's the way I feel about it and no amount of waving old bones that are "supposed" to belong to Jesus will ever change my mind.

MOFF,

On this point, you are entitled to your opinion, however bear in mind, that even several Christian leaders have agreed that since the Bible has been interpreted by millions in many different ways, and that there is evidence in the Bible itself, to support Jesus ressurecting in his spiritual form, that the finding of his tomb would be a wondrous thing.

It does not and would not negate the ressurection, or the fact that he existed. It would be simply a wondrous find and a sacred site.

Sorry, we will have to disagree on this. My Bible says Jesus physically was ressurected. Now as to how others interprete their Bibles, well, that's up to them. I take mine literally. I guess the 500 people who saw him after he was ressurected must have all been on drugs or something!

As for errors being made in the copying from the ancent manuscripts, very few have been made. The scribes had to start over if even one error was found. It took them a long time to copy by hand. There were parts of one of the gospels found in the Dead Sea scrolls and it was almost word for word to the todays current version.

Because I respect everyone on the board I won't post on this thread again. I've tried to explain why to me this "find" is blaspheme. Nothing wonderous or sacred or even special about the find. Just another sad attempt to undermine Christianity.

I agree. I did not see this particular show, but what I am agreeing with is that I feel it is possible to rethink interpretations and I see nothing wrong with being open to listening to what has been found and the beliefs surrounding it without considering it some kind of attack or threat. I don't feel it hinders my faith or relationship with God in the slightest. I suppose some would say I'm no true Christian or that my faith is faulty, but God knows my heart and I don't need anything more than that. My interest on the show is piqued, I wouldn't mind seeing it.

I didn't watch it, but not because I remembered to avoid it. I forgot it was on. I don't watch a lot of tv anyway. I don't see why it's such a big deal if someone is questioning the bible or a particular faith or even saying they don't believe in it at all. So what? They're not telling anyone that they have to believe in what they find. They're just reporting what they believe they have found. If you don't believe it, that's fine, too. Move on and ignore it, then. Definitely a less stressful way to deal with something that probably will never directly affect your life anyway. It's late, I hope that makes sense.

[Zippy]

Well I know that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose in 3 days.I believe the Bible.You don't have to believe if you don't want too.God gave us all a choice to make.That choice is the most important one.

[ramanth]

I wanted to see it but forgot when it was on and missed it. I'm sure they'll rerun it at sometime.

Jess and Dr., I pretty much agree with all you've said. Worded much more eloquently than I could have.

[DrKym]

Thank You.

I am certain it will rerun pretty quickly as the numbers were great, for viewers, so look for it around sweeps week! lol
