I was just read Time Magazine’s Blog and found this article about the possible discovery of the body of Jesus in a tomb in Isreal.
WOW! what an interesting topic! my family is of mixed religions and so they get into huge battles and fueds, often going for years not speaking to each other as a result, over wither one religion is better than another, or which docteric is the “one true” docterin. I well have to pass this article on to them, see what they have to say about it… I could guess, they’ll probl’y all say it’s a hoax…
as for myself, I look at religion as a thing that we use to improve us, and as such I follow no one religion, but tudy all of them… one thing I like to do is to find historic proof… archological finds and such that support or refute various aspects of religon…
WOW! the possible discovery of Jesus’ body! THAT is such a great find… the way I see it it could go one way or the other…
they prove it’s him, and either religion goes crazy, drunk on power, each trying to be the one to “house” his body in their church, so they can charge people tons of money to come see his remains
or. they prove it’s him and religion goes crazy, in their attempt to destroy the body and wipe it’s esistance off the face of the earth so they can continue to milk money out of there members
either way, organized religion stands to make a foutune… I wonder if they well spend their riches on the sick and poor like Jesus was said to have done?
For me, I thought that proof that Jesus was a real person by finding his body was more important than fighting over with it ment he was crucified or not. I mean, that would mean that he was a real person! That is so cool!
I still don’t see that as a threat to my faith or as a bad thing, even if it were true… I’m guessing that my personal multi-religon (all Christian faiths) upbringing must have somehow “warped” my view of Christianity, cause I realy don’t see the resurection as the “thing of vital importance” for my faith, so for me disproving the resurection by finding a body, does not effect my faith… I grew up being taught that “as man is god once was; as god is man shall become”, and that it is through following Jesus teachings that that shall happen…I think I am realizing , reading the repsonces to this article, that most Christian view Christianity very differantly than I do… weird
I’ll be interested in seeing if religious leaders really well do what Jesus would have done. Well they be meek and humble?
A lot of people over on that blog are fighting and flaming each other, because they are saying that if Jesus body is found than than means the crucifition was “crui-fiction”. That article has only been up a few hours and already there are just under 3000 comments on it, and most of them are people in a rage, because they are saying that he was the son of god so he couldn’t die, and thus there could be no body…
but, if he raised from the dead, as they are also saying, than he must have died in order to come back right? I wonder if they even realize that they are double-talking when they say that?
wow! though, some people over there are really taking this realy hard though!
I was surprised really at how this has upset so many people in such a short time… I thought Christians would be happy that his body was found (possibly), (I’m Christian, and I would love for someone to find his body) but instead they getting all mad and defencive and throwing out accusasions and such… I don’t get it… isn’t being a Christian doing what Christ did and following his teaching? he didn’t teach to fight and argue like that that’s for sure…
oh well… I can’t wait to see how the attempt to prove of disprove this find… I question the DNA bit, I just don’t see how that’ll work
I think that what he taught is more important that wither or not he was ressurected. I mean isn’t it?

“And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile…”, So if there is no resurrection then No Christianity! Jesus is not important because what he taught (you and I know from our heart that we need to love our neighbors as we love our own) but what He did on the cross. Christianity is not the “do’s and don’ts” it a “FINISHED” (Jesus cried from the cross) religion. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical truth and if you look at all the apologetics against the resurrection that always starts with explaining the empty tomb. Even the early Jewish writings agreed that the tomb is empty (they claim that the disciples stole the body)
I hope the below article would help

I found it interesting to note that the man who actually discovered the bodies, does NOT believe that it is the body of the same Jesus as the one called Christ
I also agree that ALL of the religous artifacts and relics that claim to be part of or had belonged to Jesus, his family, or the apostles… but as far as I know, there have never been any tests done on any of those items, and that fact has always disapointed me
I call this neither a lie nor the truth, simply because there are no facts that can either prove nor disprove it yet… fact is a body was found, but beyound that who knows…
I agree that there is prob’ly a lot more hype over this than there should be, because Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were all very common names in that time and place, and finding graves in that area with those names is very common, though it rarely makes it into the news like this
