Jerusalem Part 2 church of holy sepulcher

[@SammyMikovoure]

Thanks, Joel Kramer. Your touring made me understand history of where Jesus once walked, died and resurrected.

The more of your videos I watch, especially in Jerusalem, I would have liked you as a guide when I was there in March 1988. ForTwo weeks before Holy week.😊 leaving to come home on Palm Sunday. Jerusalem wasn't as crowded then. My second visit August 1995 stll not too bad crowd wise. But a lot warmer than first visit. Those visits brought the Bible alive.

i was seeking the Praetorium in the near from Jaffa gate, but didn't found it.

[@ericrusselljohnson1]

Go toward the Zion Gate about 200 yards and it's against the wall. Walk up along the wall and you would find it.

[@xXJonnyJamboXx]

@@ericrusselljohnson1 thank you for guiding. unfortunately i am back now, but next time

[@ericrusselljohnson1]

Yes, sorry it didn't work out. But it's not far from the Jaffa Gate...you will see it next time!

What is an aps? thank you

[@ericrusselljohnson1]

An apse is a dome in a church, the center of that below marking a historical spot. You will see apses in all of the major churches built to commemorate an event (including several in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Church of the Nativity, the Church of the Annunciation, etc. Generally, scholars believe these are accurate, especially the older the church buildings.

@@ericrusselljohnson1 God bless you for taking the time to respond, thank you.

And the Garden Tomb seems more authentic. The stairs to the cross and the tomb seem to be much too close to one another to be authentic. I see lots of rock but no evidence of a Garden. There are lots of bedrock in Jerusalem, how do we know that this bedrock is Golgotha? The Garden Tomb is directly opposite of the Damascus Gate. And the road before it today is a main thoroughfare of Jerusalem as it was in Jesus day. The Garden Tomb is also still to this day outside the old city walls. I could go on and on. The Holy Sepulcher just seems to be "tradition" of the Roman Catholic Church. Constantines mother just decided that because of the word of a monk, this would be a good enough place for the tomb, labeled it, but a church around it and so it became "tradition" to this very day.

[@ericrusselljohnson1]

Your view is in the minority when it comes to scholarship. The early Christians ALWAYS venerated a site from the earlies of days: Church of Annunciation, Garden of Gethsemane, Bethlehem, Peter's House (Capernaum), etc. To have no evidence that the Garden Tomb was known and it was buried is not even in the realm of possibilities. And what do you do with this tomb being 4 centuries older than the time of Jesus--and we know it was a "new tomb" of Joseph of Arimathea. Just because a site "feels good" does not make it authentic. But you do have this going for you: Your tomb is empty and so is the one at the Sepulcher. He is risen indeed.

[@shawnjenkins7469]

The Garden Tomb dates to the 8th or 9th century A.D. I always thought this was Jesus’ tomb, but after LOTS of research, the sepulcher site is legit, albeit very hard to picture.
