A tomb has been uncovered that bears the inscription "Jesus son of Joseph", there are other names on it too. The greek name for Magdalene is also there. So is the name of a son - Judah.
We should remember that there have been many claims about Jesus' final destination - here another: Jesus' tomb in India. Is it possible that one day we will find the tomb of Jesus? Well I'd have to admit that its possible to construct a story where that would be the case. This is being presented as 'more explosive' than the Da Vinci code. Get the picture? The Da Vinci code is fiction, as I've said before. The author has said so to. This is being presented as archeaology, but there is already a dispute.
So as in all things we believe (accept as factual, without any concrete indisputable evidence), it is down to what you put your faith in. I'll stick with the Bible - Luke 24:51 "While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven." will do quite nicely thank you.
btw: the Bible is a remarkable book, check out the discussions about its origin and authenticity, you may find the evidence is pretty hard to dispute.
Good points here, Pete.
ReplyDeleteI think Jesus had this sort of thing covered when He said, "Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, ‘Behold, he is in the desert'; go not forth. 'Behold, he is in the secret chambers’; believe it not”.
