Jesus' Body Found!!!

Jesus' BodyĀ Found!!!

I was just reading Time Magazine's Blog and found this article about the possible discovery of the body of Jesus in a tomb in Isreal.

Is It Really Him?

WOW! What an interesting topic! My family is of mixed religions and so they get into huge battles and feuds, often going for years not speaking to each other as a result, over wither one religion is better than another, or which doctrine is the one true doctrine. I well have to pass this article on to them, see what they have to say about it. I could guess, they'll probably 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 study all of them one thing I like to do is to find historic proof archeological finds and such that support or refute various aspects of religion.

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 existence 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 fortune. 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 meant 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-religion (all Christian faiths) upbringing must have somehow warped my view of Christianity, cause I really don't see the resurrection as the thing of vital importance for my faith, so for me disproving the resurrection 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 responses to this article, that most Christian view Christianity very differently 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?

So Why Are They Fighting About This?

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 means the crucifixion 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 really 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 defensive and throwing out accusations 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 they attempt to prove or 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 resurrected. I mean isn't it?

Is It Really Jesus?

So what do you think?

Yes, I think it was Jesus` body they found.

Lola says:

I'd love to believe that it is Jesus' body, it will prove to scientists that he really was real; it's just amazing to think that we could find out something more about this...

Andrew says:

He died on the cross. He never rose again. I believe that his family Got his body and buried him in a secret place after 3 day. You think? His mother visited his first tomb everyday. It is Jesus, And the other 9 is his family. Christianity is full of lies. Or Secrets. O.o

jen says:

yes

joe shaw says:

yes i believe its god because as someone said they can check the blood and guess what all religion is a lie. no suck thing as heaven and hell

abdul khalil says:

i think yes if they have the body then simple thing is that just check the parts were they nailed him and other marks it will prove right or wrong. Bible says his light was risen not the body. the body taken by the desciples and they burried some were and others could not find the place . and now some one has discovered then just check.

Helena says:

Of course is is why is the story such a secret. Wouldn't this end the list of lies told by the Catholic church?

No, I do not think it was Jesus` body they found.

kenz says:

The Bible clearly states that his body would not be found, so is this coincidence that it has yet to be found, after thousands of years? There is no way that his body could have been "stolen" if a guard was in front of it the whole time. lol as a human race, we are pretty ignorant and stupid sometimes.

GodlessHeathen says:

I found Jesus... he was working at Wal-Mart....

lucy says:

no one nows were his body is its a lies

Tipi says:

No way!

Peaceking313 says:

The finding was found to be not Jesus. But his teachings were and still are important whether you believe he is son of God or not. he taught peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.where there is peace a foundation of wisdom can be established and all wisdom comes from peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.peace.even the Jews believe in his teachings.peace.peace..... May God be with you.

ben says:

no and think again about heaven and hell my friend

Learned Arul says:

it is possible if u find His shroud, but it is impossible that u may find His body, if u'r a Christian u should have read the Bible that it clearly says when Jesus rose from the dead, it actually says that His Disciple (Thomas) put His finger in Jesus hand holes, and put his hand in His side, and he touch the flesh of Jesus, if u'r a christian u should have believe this, only a true Christian will never deny the power of Christ, and u'r came here spilling all this rubbish, don't talk as if u'r think is good, u are denying Jesus power if the Jews don't deny His power, if u'r are a true Christian u will never say that its His body, how can u say that its Jesus son of Yahweh's body while u don't even have prove of His blood, nor skin, nor hair,nor nails, nor picture u have nothing don't make lies across the world that its Jesus's body u only can prove me that His inscription but i can prove 190 verses from the bible that prove Jesus has rise from dead and 189 reasons, if u says the Resurrection of Jesus is not important to u than don't become a christian u will just disgrace our religious in front of the others because if Jesus don't rise from the dead we will go hell.

betta_addict says:

The Bible says Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven and He will come again to marry His bride - the Church. The Son of Man will come down in glory...He will come like a blazing fire and consume everything that hinders his fiery love for His people. The Spirit and the Bride say "Come!"

jaye5500 says:

I do not think it was Jesus body they've found because throughout this lifetime, there are many people who would want to eradicate Christianity from existence. I, am not perturbed by his or even give it any thought! I am grounded by my faith and would continue to be.

LizMac60 says:

How could you possibly prove whose the body is after so many centuries? i believe Jesus rose from the dead and that is proof that God accepted his sacrifice for us who believe. I'm not in a rage because my faith is tried and tested. People who have weak faith get in a rage with these things because they feel threatened.

philsawa says:

I can see why people would want to write a book about this. My former co worker worked on a documentary with Simcha Jacobovici and she told me he would do anything to disprove Christianity. In the end it comes down to what evidence you choose to believe. For example: might shed some light on the subject.

Jay says:

personally i believe they could not have found the body. One reason being when he resurrected there was a none believer in the group of disciples who refused to believe he rose from the dead until he was able to physically put his hands on Christs wounds from crucifixion.And when Christ showed up to prove to him it was true. Christ left after giving the his 120 faithful people in the same form (body) after giving the Great Commission to make disciples out of all nations. (Faithful disciples are the body of Christ)

Patricia says:

Dave says:

I think you mean Jesus's body. It should be written as it sounds.

SandyPeaks says:

There were no bodies, just family tombs which were dated to that period.

BP says:

1st I would like to say that you can type in any bible keyword search about
Jesus' light being resurrected and you pull up NOTHING about it. So the question is... what the heck is Abdul Khalil reading??

2nd..." 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:13-22) This Bible passage was Authored by the Apostle Paul who went to his death for defending the resurrected Christ. Christ being raised is the foundation upon which Christianity sits. If it is not then you belong to some funky cult offshoot that is far removed from the faith of the eye-witness appointed Apostles of Jesus, Whose Hebrew name is also the name we translate Joshua and was actually a VERY common name in those days like Joseph was, as Jews did not have nearly as much name variation as we do. In fact, we know that the name Mary was shared by nearly 25% of Jewish women during that time. For our math whizzes that's 1 out of every 4 chicas! Go to walmart and imagine 1 out of every 4 women being named Nicole!! If a thousand years from now we uncovered a grave that said "here lies Keith son of Steve and Nicole and husband of Nicole (just for example sake assuming his parents are named that) that they should assume its Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's grave??? Especially when no historical accounts tell us that that's where he was buried?? You tell me what I should think. Especially since this isnt the 1st time a grave has been discoved that had the inscription 'Jesus son of Joseph'. Well already know that's no big coincidental phenomena...

NEFTY says:

THATS SATANS TRICKS.HE WANS'T U TO BELIVE THAT JESUS FAKE HE IS PLAYING ONE OF HIS LAST TRICKS BECUASE HIS TIME IS CLOSE

Chase says:

I say its just a way to get people to change religon so christans rule over the religious world.

jim says:

There were many people named Jesus, Mary and Joseph at that time...the bible accounts for a couple mary's during the time of Jesus...There is no hard evidence that this was the body of Jesus...i am a devout Christian and all my faith hangs on Jesus ascending to heaven...that He left no body...if He did leave a body He could not be God incarnate...so i would want to know if it was the body of Jesus...however, there is no hard evidence that it was Jesus...i am neither outraged or angry at the proposition that this was Jesus' body...unbelievers made the movie
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2nd Cor 4:4.
The people who built the documentary were not believers and came from an angle to support there religion...or lack of it.

Bailey says:

Im not sure if it is real or not, If it is, well... first off, if they did, they need to check DNA with any people in the world right now, go to every where possible search the sea's from islands we haven't found yet. Get DNA from them and see IF there is anyone in the ENTIRE world that is somewhat related to him. If there is, we may just see if He is really Jesus Christ

Josh says:

I wish there was a choice for "possibly Jesus' body." I am a Christian, and as a Christian I think it could be possible that it is Jesus' body. I have no idea how it could be proved though... Anyway, when Jesus died and rose from the dead, he eventually rose up to heaven a number of days later. Is it not possible that when He ascended into heaven, His Spirit ascended in a visual form and it left his body? His body did not have to ascend into heaven because there would be no need for it. And likely the disciples then buried the body. Thus, all Christian beliefs can stay intact and this story can possibly be true.

Gabriel says:

People are so easily misled and so easy to believe in something like a book or a film which ridiculed Christ. Satan must be very happy whenever he managed to make people have doubt in Christ especially in Christ's resurrection.

M_S_Beltran says:

I don't think it was him because I don't think he probably existed, and if he did he was probably some guy legends grew up around and not the Jewish messiah... but I can see how some people who believed he was risen from the dead would be upset with it because it would prove he was not divine. Like the earth circling the sun and evolution, this is something that, no matter how much proof is offered, it would take centuries for some Christians to accept or take into consideration.

Frank says:

How can you think it doesn't matter as long as we believe what He taught? If He wasn't raised from the dead ,then He didn't fulfill the prophecies of the coming mesiah and therefore we can not trust what He taught.
It's time to read your ,no, study, your bible----------------

TheWhistler says:

I don't believe it was his body. Frankly either way wouldn't matter to me. It doesn't make any difference to what one believes.

CosmeticMom says:

Perhaps I am late on this...but where is the film and what is the name of it? Just like the Times to leave out that part in this article.

mulberry says:

I'm not much into religion but even if it is his body I don't see why this would disprove his resurrection. I always assumed it was his spirit not his body that was resurrected...but then I don't study the bible. I would think it's best to let the facts come out and decide...

HZ4EVER says:

JESUS is sitting at the right hand of the FATHER in heaven.
GOD'S WORD is truth!JESUS died on the cross for our sins, and was ressurected to everlasting life so that we could live with HIM forever. JESUS will return one day to reign as LORD and KING. I challenge you to read the Bible and investigate for yourself WHO JESUS CHRIST really is!My prayer is that GOD will reveal HIS truth to you!GOD BLESS YOU!

says:

It's not His body, just some people's idea of how to get others to disbelieve the truth of the resurrection.

topshelf says:

the resurrection was the most important thing! God raised Jesus from the dead and he will raise us up with Him. I do not think it was our Lord Jesus' body.

TimKessler says:

This must be the millionth time someone has come up with a "new finding" about Jesus. But it does not bug me. In fact, it actually strengthens my faith even more knowing how hard Satan has to work to keep finding new ways of discrediting Christ and failing each time. Lol.

Thomas Kopper says:

Its a bunch of crap. Jesus was crucified (killed), ressurected (seen by over 500 witnesses) and is now in Heaven sitting at the right hand of God waiting for orders to come back down and kick some major butt.

Marilyn says:

It is not His body.......He was and still is a real person and yes that is cool.....If He wasn't resurrected then this is the only heaven we will know as hell will be our eternity. I am very shocked and disappointed that someone with your influence does not have the revelation of the importance of our Risen Saviour and the passion to stand against such ridiculous claims. Please read the scriptures and teach what they say about Jesus and His sacrifice for all of mankind.

Jimmie says:

Impossible.
He is risen!
Without the resurrection, our faith is in vain.

driewe says:

If there is no ressurrection then your faith is futile to quote the Apostle Paul. And all those Martyrs starting with the Deacon Stephen died for with a false hope.

"The Godhead hid under the covering of our human nature so as to offer an easy bait to him who sought to exchange us for a more precious prize. And the aim was that just like a greedy fish he would swallow the hook of divinity together with the bait of the flesh. Thus life would come to dwell in death, light would appear in darkness, and thus light and life would achieve the destruction of all that stood against them."

By death he destroyed death.
By the resurrection he deifies all humanity

This has been consistently taught and believed by the by the Orthodox Church (founded in 33AD) for almost 2,000 years. With all the proof texts.

That does not demean what he taught, for the Church has always taught everyone will be resurrected. Those who humble themselves and strive to emulate Christ Teaching stand chance to resurrection unto Glory, the others unto condemnation. I, ilke the Thief on the Cross, can only say "Remember me when though comest into thy kingdom"

Food for thought. How could a proud arrogant person who despises meekness and humility enjoy spending eternity with Christ? That would be hell for them.
