The Jesus Tomb - My take
I have watched to The Lost Tomb of Jesus documentary film by Simcha Jacobovici and James Cameron and also the Sixty minutes story of Tara Brown (transcript available at http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=291313)
I agree that it is a shattering discovery and I can understand that this discovery may test the faith of millions of people. I can also understand why the discovery of the Jesus tomb has upset so many Christians around the world. It does question the foundation of many people’’s religion and their belief in the resurrection. However, for me personally, it makes no difference what so ever. I do believe in the resurrection not in the physical sense, but a spiritual sense. Therefore the discovery of the Jesus tomb not change my Christian beliefs at all.
The fact that the tomb of Jesus has been found - I believe that there is a strong possibility that this can be his family tomb - should be celebrated. It confirms to those who don”t believe in Jesus that his existence was in fact real and that the Jesus story is not just a myth. It is wonderful!
This discovery of the tomb of Jesus the opposite effect on me. It actually strengthened my faith.
What I did find alarming about the documentary was the fact that the Jesus tomb has been discovered so long ago and kept secret (very little was published until recently) all these years.
What is your take on this?

Whether people belive it or not,Jesus rose and it wasnt just a spiritual thing, it was indeed physical. As a christian the Bible should be your final say n not what some archaeologist comes up with
