So Who watched the Jesus Tomb last night

[DrKym]

Just wondering who watched it, and watched the pathetic interviews after?

I was unimpressed with Mr. Koppel as he spent more time discussing the filmaking as oppossed to the actual questions raised.

Nope!!! Didn't watch it!!! Never will!!! It's just a bunch of hogwash in my opinion. Just people wanting to make money and cause trouble!!!
One funny thing: the Fox news channel had a rabi on this morning discussing the show. As if a Rabi would really care about it!!! sheesh!!!
Just funny that they didn't ask a Christian what they thought!!!

I didn't watch it, but hubby sent me a link this morning saying it had been pulled... http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...discovery.html

I'm confused now, did it air or didn't it?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Well the Rabbi on Fox said he watched it so I assume it did air.

Yes it aired and I taped it.

Nah. I didn't actually know it was on last night, but if I did, I probably wouldn't have watched it anyway. However, even if I had watched it, I know that I am confident enough in my beliefs that it would not have swayed me whatsoever.

Don;t know where I was all last week, but I hadn't heard anything about this. Then at Mass on Sunday, Father spent his entire sermon on it, how this is yet another Lenten attack on Christians. (Last year, it was the DaVinci Code, followed by the Judas gospel.) He explained why it is a personal affront to everyone of us. He wasn't going to watch it, too insulting.

Then, I forgot all about it until I just saw this thread.

Several Christian leaders were interviewed by Ted Koppel after the program.

We went to bed and I didn't watch it- but tell me Kym- did any of them discuss that Jesus had a brother named Jesus? ( Mary and Josephs son..) There was a email flying around last week of left out transcript from the show. I will see if I can get the posted script, that addressed that it states in the Bible that there were two "Jesus"- first the the Christ, and a younger brother Jesus.. Did they put that back in- or continue to only half read the Biblical facts. Another comment that was made on that circulating email was that the grant money for this " project" exceeded any other prior grant.

I don't think Jesus had a brother named Jesus.


Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

[Felicia's Mom]

No, I didn't watch it. It does not change my belief anyway.

Exactly................and to answer Bmoms question, yes they were not only mentioned, but an ossuary in the tomb found with Jesus' ossuary was inscribed " James son of Joseph brother of Jesus",

Finding the holy familys Tomb, I do not think would diminish a faith, but should enhance it.

To have a holy site to pray upon, or to visit, as many do with the Mt. Olive site, and recreate the walk of Jesus which even the catholic church has to admit, isn't even accurate but an approximation of where he MAY have walked.

I do hope they study these artifacts closer, and the tomb itself. How wonderful it would be to be able to stand in front of such a relic.

I would visit it , and I am not Christian.

The resurection is the cornerstone of Christianity!!! It's the saying his body has been found that is offensive!!! Besides his mother Mary's body is already in a tomb in either Jeruselum or St Peter's Basicalica. I can't remember which right now. On the Catholic channel they show pictures of it often. I'll try to remember to watch and find out where. I'm not Catholic so don't watch that channel often.

Oh, and the Matthew they were saying that's in that tomb can't be the apostile. He's buried in St Peter's Basicallica. Parts of all the apostiles are there except John (and Judas of course).

I didn't watch it (don't watch any TV really), but I don't understand why so many are enraged and angered and taking it as an attack on their faith. Why should it challenge one's faith, or the belief that Jesus was holy, whether in a religion he was a prophet or the son of God?

If you were to take the finding as real, wouldn't it in fact prove he existed? Perhaps not in the tomb people originally believed in. I know the Christian bible states he rose from the dead and left no body, but people have to remember how old the bible is.. and how many times it has been translated and retranslated, and how meaning is lost whenever that is done. How speech of thousands of years ago can hold completely different meaning than speech of today. I.e. at a wake someone may say the deceased person is not in that casket but is now in Heaven. By that they mean the person's spirit. If someone wrote that down and hundreds of years later it got rewritten time after time in language after language the meaning could become distorted and misunderstood and taken as literal.

I personally don't believe there is any reason to take it as a threat or that someone is evil to even suggest such a thing. Hundreds of years ago everyone knew without a doubt that God made the world flat. "Science" proved it wrong and now we know it's round, but it doesn't mean we can't still believe that God MADE the world, even if our perception of it has changed. That is what happens, perceptions and knowledge changes through the ages, who really knows what is "right" and what is "wrong." Maybe someday we will know all the answers but I don't think it will be in this life. I just don't think we can possibly just KNOW beyond doubt exactly cut and dry what did or didn't happen in those times. I feel one can believe in God and believe in Jesus without adhering to some specific written word of the way things happened.
