The Most Controversial Archaeological Discovery - The Lost Tomb Of Jesus - Archaeology Documentary

In 1980, a bulldozer accidentally uncovered a first-century tomb in Jerusalem. Of the ten ossuaries (stone coffins) found inside, six bore inscriptions: Jesus son of Joseph, Maria, Mariamene (the name by which Mary Magdalene was known), Joseph, Matthew, and Judah son of Jesus. Dismissed by archaeologists as coincidence, the ossuaries were warehoused and forgotten. Twenty-five years later, filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and his team went in search of the ossuaries…and the lost tomb. What they found may well be the most controversial archaeological discovery of all time.

To me it would be historically interesting if they could prove this. It only confirms the Bible with more historical proof. When Jesus rose from the grave he was able to pass through walls, appear from thin air, and his own disciples did not recognize him when walking with him until he revels himself. He was very clearly no longer in his human body. Many (if not all) of the disciples and many of the eye witness believers where tortured and put to death. None would stop teaching, or renounce him. Would you do that for a lie? They knew what they saw, and most of them died for it!!

There's very little history that as biblical proof including that of Jesus. Using the Bible to prove the Bible is like using the Harry Potter books to prove the Wizarding world is real.

You forget according to the gospels Thomas placed his finger's into and felt the wounds in his hands and side. That being said if Jesus was a spirit and not flesh Thomas wouldn't have been able to touch or feel the wounds of Jesus.

@@wawoodsman7198 you would have to assume God is unable to make his spirit into solid matter for that to be relevant. I assume he can do anything .

[@Freeman_Actual]

@@a.d.marshall2748 Brother... how about speaking the truth in love... not calling people RACA? The disciples did not recognize Jesus after his resurrection because Jesus appeared in the form of different people. For example, Mary Magdalene mistook him for a gardener (John 20:11-18), he appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus as a fellow traveler (Luke 24:13-21), and as a stranger on the shore of the Sea of Galilee to the disciples (John 21:1-13). In each of these cases, the disciples who saw the resurrected Jesus did not recognize him by his physical features, but by what he said and did. Jesus also appeared as himself after his resurrection. Jesus appeared to Thomas with his wounds from the cross to prove to Thomas by sight that he was resurrected (John 20:26-29). Jesus looked like himself as well when he appeared to the disciples before his ascension (Luke 24:36-51). The disciples were able to touch him so that it proved to them that he was not a ghost or some type of vision. The disciples learned two important lessons from these appearances after Jesus’ resurrection. First, by seeing Jesus again, the disciples knew he had actually been resurrected. Second, by seeing Jesus take different forms or materialize as different people (just as the angels had done in the Old Testament), they knew he was no longer the man Jesus, but now Jesus had changed into a spirit being. Other scriptures show that Jesus is no longer an earthly man. The scriptures say that “Now the Lord is that spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:17) and refer to Jesus as “a quickening spirit” (1 Corinthians 15:45). After his resurrection, Jesus also demonstrated the ability to appear within a locked room among the believers (John 20:26-29) and disappear right in front of them (Luke 24:31). This further demonstrated that Jesus was no longer an Earthly man but now with his resurrection changed into a spirit being.

We can surely have a pretty good idea of how frequent the name Yeshoua was during the first century.

From this list, I think we would get a good idea of how popular was a certain name back then. I feel like the name Yeshoua wasn't that popular!

[@christianamorris9787]

It was that popular. Jesus, Joseph, Mary, Judah we’re all incredibly popular names. All in the top 12, and 75% of the population shared similar names.

One small but very important fact, After his being placed in the tomb wrapped in cloth,everyone goes home. The next morning Mary goes to the tomb to find that the body has gone and the cloths folded up neatly, This is the next day so the body would have been whole, not just bones as placed in these stone boxes, Jesus meets all the deciples and offer for Thomas to put his find in the wounds of the nails so his body is solid. This leaves the question how did his family get hold of the bones to put in this box. I must point out that i am a believer, and do not doubt that question of who he was and what he did for us all, but i feel that there is a lot to be made for some people by coming up with something new, when in fact we should be paying attention to what he said.

I’m a Catholic and I have zero issues with discovering the tomb of Jesus or his lineage. To me, this would most certainly not change my faith or beliefs. That said, whether you believe the possibility that this is “The Tomb”, I’m having trouble understanding why the censoring and blocking. If there is a clear opportunity to disprove that this is not what some people claim it is, then what is the problem. Why not allow for further research and investigation? People only hide things when they’re afraid of the truth or of something. When you think about it, there’s actually more serious implications from the scenario that this is actually the real thing, than to the opposite. I would tend to say, especially more for the Church, than for most other Christian sects/denominations. In my personal view, if your faith in Jesus and his teachings is based strictly on the “literal” bible, then you have some serious soul searching to do and this is coming from someone who has engaged in apologetics.

[@havoc092]

If you were Christian, it would bother you. You're not, so, I get it. Your religion was created by Simon Magus, not Jesus. And Magus was rather less credible and less strict in his methodologies which were passed on to the rest of Universalism over time. Yes, you can do your homework. Universalism was founded by the man cursed by the Apostles with the Anathema in the book of acts. He arrived in Rome ca 42 ad - roughly the time they said for 1700 years Simon Peter had Arrived; but, all the historical data denies Peter being in Rome and proves quite otherwise. Magus, however, was there. He discussed, wrote about and established what he called a 'catholic' (universal) religion. One that combined the belief systems of all religions into one. That's what he was teaching when first encountered, btw, a mishmash of Judaism and pagan beliefs. He was renowned in Rome as a Magician and held the title Petr (priest of the mysteries). He was so well known that the Caesar had a statue erected to him and had him venerated along with the gods of Rome. This is all history. Much of what Catholics call dogma derives directly from the pen of Magus. Indulgences - which had part in causing the reformation - was directly authored by Magus. Interestingly, to understand Christianity is to understand that the Holy Spirit is God. Magus attempted to buy the Holy spirit from the Apostles and this is why he was anathematized. He wanted the magic he saw in his own carnal mind and wanted it. But it boils down to trying to buy God. Not an office. And it's thusly interesting that the founder of the 'catholic' religion, Magus, didn't see it as buying God.. thus the Catholic view of the crime called 'simony' is a crime of attempting to buy an office. It's wrong on the second count as well - in Christianity and 'office' is nothing in and of itself. Message is paramount - which is Why Paul quite rightly stated that if he were to teach anything other than his beginning message, he should be counted as anathema. His office granted literally nothing. And, of course, DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. Go do your historical research on Simon Magus. Well documented. It's just that Catholics - his late followers - are always the last to find out the truth.

@@aldridkg No no.. you'll need to do better than that. Protestantism was a protest movement that left Universalism.. nothing to do with Christianity apart from their stated goal to reform to get closer to Christianity. Seems to have largely failed. They married philosophy. Christianity existed right alongside of universalism. It's just that the Universalists attempted to murder anyone who didn't bow to them and then denounce them as heretics while making up pious tales of conquest .. which in this day and age with all the info available has been set back a far piece. I didn't criticize the corruption of 'the church' either. Universalism isn't 'the church'. And it never has been is what I stated without caviat. I said it because it's a provable fact. What's more, I spent years studying to find out what all the Universalists should have known if they'd done any research at all before adopting. The information has always been there. And while I'm smart, I'm not unique in pointing it out. And as a matter of fact, as a Christian I have something you don't - a priesthood. That does give me the authority and right to speak. You don't have any.. do you. I mean, if you're a universalist (which one assumes at this point) then you will have to admit you have zero authority to speak on behalf of your religion. So why are you? Why are you engaging me when you have no authority offered. If I put a direct question of faith to you .. you can't do anything but give me what they give you to say.. which I can probably quote verbatim to you in the first place and save you the time. I'm stating what anyone willing to do the legwork can find out rather directly for themselves because there is a historical record concerning Simon Petr Magus.. and that was purposed. Everything your relligious group says of Simon the Apostle was true of Magus, not the Apostle - his arrival in Rome. His founding of a religion - namely universalism: the combining of all religions into one. He developed, founded and led his religion from Rome. He was honored by Caesar, not Peter the Apostle but Magus. Magus is the one the statue was erected to. Magus is the one venerated (worshipped) by Rome. Peter the Apostle they wanted nothing to do with. And it wasn't Peter the Apostle that Paul sparred with in Rome.. Paul directly faced down verbally and in print the very dogmatic pronunciations of your founder Magus. Universalism (Latin: Catholicism) Has never been Christian.. ever. Christians, Jews and pagans alike were forced into it at the point of a sword. That is the history. So I'm not your opponent. History is. And History, too, has the authority to speak. Where's yours?

[@havoc092]

@@aldridkg Finally, and ultimately.. if you want to be a Universalist.. knock yourself out. If you intended to be a Christian instead, go do your homework and, again, knock yourself out. Your soul is your boat to row into eternity. If you want to do it informed or blind - utterly your choice. But the historical record is quite clear on who was and wasn't in Rome. It's clear on the role and life of Magus. It's clear about a lot more things to do about Universalism that you've probably never given a second look before simply adopting what Universalists told you. Your choice; but, Blind acceptance less useful than leaving your fate to the flip of a coin. Both are reckless. I remember being taught how Constantine was a 'Christian' emperor.. utter nonsense.. and how he defended the church by destroying the aryans and the donatists.. not true either.. he exiled Arius and actually preferred the arians - attempting to talk the part of early leaders that bothered to show at Nicea into changing scripture to make Arianism non-heretical. The Donatists, whome early Universalists beseached the emperor to murder, were merely chased out of Roman territory and outlived the Roman empire with a perfectly proper and orthodox statment of Christian faith. When they turn up non heretics with orthodox Christian testimony.. that is a problem for Universalism - not donatists. Their crime was pointing out the heresy of some in the Christian church of having turned in their texts to the emperor and then pay tithes to the Roman gods. For that, the universalists wanted them murdered. And thankfully, that failed. All a matter of history.. it just takes wanting to know and doing the research.. and not all that difficult to do.

[@randidryden4355]

Very interesting, but it is produced by a master storyteller, James Cameron. First of all, when Mary and the other women went to the tomb, she was shocked to find it empty and when she went to tell the other disciples "they had moved his body" thr others did not believe her and ran to see for themselves. If the disciples had moved him in secret, they would not have been surprised to find the tomb empty. Secondly, Roman guards were killed for falling asleep while on guard and they had stationed at LEAST 20 to guard his tomb. They ALL fell asleep knowing they would be killed for doing so? I don't think so. How would anyone be able to move that giant stone without waking a single guard? Thirdly, IF the disciples had stolen and moved his body, they'd have known the whole resurrection thing to be a lie. Out of 12 people, I can not see ALL of them sticking to a story they knew was a lie when faced with the horrific deaths they suffered. Stoned? Crucified upside down, sawed in half and other nightmarish deaths? And not even ONE recanted the story? Nope. They all suffered terribly rather than say it was not true. Finally, the bones should have some dried blood inside the bones and it could be tested against the blood of Jesus that was found on the mercy seat to see if it is a match. If it were a match then the blood in the bones would still be alive when reconstituted. So....what IF they really ARE the bones of the Messiah? I think his bone box would have included that title. And yet his bones in a box do not prove he did not rise from the dead. He put aside his Heavenly body to TAKE ON human flesh and bones for a brief period. AFTER the resurrection he would have had no more need for them. He would have taken back up his glorified body. That is why he could just suddenly appear in the upper room through a locked door. And he DID tell Mary, "Do not touch me for I have not yet ascended. Touching him might have killed her, just like touching the Ark of the Covenant killed those who touched it on accident. I am convinced not at all by the tale told in this video.

[@Freeman_Actual]

The disciples did not recognize Jesus after his resurrection because Jesus appeared in the form of different people. For example, Mary Magdalene mistook him for a gardener (John 20:11-18), he appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus as a fellow traveler (Luke 24:13-21), and as a stranger on the shore of the Sea of Galilee to the disciples (John 21:1-13). In each of these cases, the disciples who saw the resurrected Jesus did not recognize him by his physical features, but by what he said and did. Jesus also appeared as himself after his resurrection. Jesus appeared to Thomas with his wounds from the cross to prove to Thomas by sight that he was resurrected (John 20:26-29). Jesus looked like himself as well when he appeared to the disciples before his ascension (Luke 24:36-51). The disciples were able to touch him so that it proved to them that he was not a ghost or some type of vision. The disciples learned two important lessons from these appearances after Jesus’ resurrection. First, by seeing Jesus again, the disciples knew he had actually been resurrected. Second, by seeing Jesus take different forms or materialize as different people (just as the angels had done in the Old Testament), they knew he was no longer the man Jesus, but now Jesus had changed into a spirit being. Other scriptures show that Jesus is no longer an earthly man. The scriptures say that “Now the Lord is that spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:17) and refer to Jesus as “a quickening spirit” (1 Corinthians 15:45). After his resurrection, Jesus also demonstrated the ability to appear within a locked room among the believers (John 20:26-29) and disappear right in front of them (Luke 24:31). This further demonstrated that Jesus was no longer an Earthly man but now with his resurrection changed into his resurrected body, a spirit being just as we will when he comes. 1 Corinthians 15:53 clearly tells Christians with an ear to hear we will put off our old bodies for new ones. Verse 50 give context...Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood (our bodies) cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption (dead bodies) inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall ALL BE CHANGED, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible (New Bodies), and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on (be changed to) incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? SELAH my friend!~ Selah!

True however according to the gospels Jesus allowed Thomas to touch and feel his wounds to know it was him. Or had he ascended before approaching his other disciples?

Jesus appeared to them in a glorified body. The spirit is more real than what we call real. He still bears the scares and wounds of the cross, even in His glorified body.

Not to mention had books removed from it all together. The measure of one’s faith should be spiritual and not textual.

It has always concerned me that from the start the roman catholicfaith seem to put more accent on the mother of Jesus, not the man himself on which the faith of christian people is based. Why when he is the son of God first and formost. The other thing that is strage is that there is son of Joseph on just one box but not on any of the others?

[@bluewaters3100]

@@diychad7268 I have always believed that Jesus and his resurrection story was not able to be written as it really was a spiritual awakening for Jesus and his immediate followers. Jesus was more evolved than they were and they could not understand what was actually occuring as Jesus ascended his body. Only Jesus understood what it was to be the son of God. His followers were not in that state of conscuousness and could not write about it accurately. I thought this was an amazing documentary. James Cameron did an excellent job.

Maybe things are a little different than the "modern" Christian eschatology and dogma would have us believe? There was an "Original" Yehoshua movement that was gaining popularity among the Jews and Samaritans in the 1st century. Likely nothing remotely close to what Constantine and hand picked representatives had in mind? Hard to control the masses if they can go directly to G-d without the permission of either pope or emperor/king.

[@peterfreeman7369]

The Gospels at first didn't have names. They didn't get names affixed to them till the second century. The Aramaic stories were not written down. Aramaic is a spoken language and the same word can have two meanings changed by the way they are spoken. For example the word for "Camel" is the same as "Rope"...Gamla. Know a story with a Camel that would work better with the word Rope replacing it?

With as unique as Jesus was, and considering Mary Magdalene was his closest disciple, I think it's still a BOLD assumption the two were married. What if they thought of her as a sister?

I may have to do some searching elsewhere to see if they ever did return.

[@JohnDeCarteretElvis]

The real reason that they covered the tomb up was due to the fact that real research would have exposed the truth. the truth that this was a total fabrication. The truth is contained in the inspired Word of God. Jesus rose from the dead and ascended up into heaven. He did not continue to live an earthly life! Just say He did; why is there no further record of His life from that moment on? Did he simply vanish into obscurity and was never heard of again. No, if he had remained and lived on earth, He would have continued about His Fathers business and continued to proclaim the Gospel. He would have continued teaching, He would have performed many more miracles. And God's Word would have been a lie, but God cannot lie, He cannot lie, He is incapable of lying. Therefore the Word of God is truth, which means that this documentary and so many like it are all complete fabrications. Whoever believes mere man over God Almighty, is a fool and almost certainly a non-believer. I fear for your never dying souls from that which is to come; the judgement!
