A: Sadly, it is not that easy. A buried Christ undercuts "Christianity" to the core. The Message of Good News is simply this: We sinned, the penalty of that sin is death, Christ paid that penaly for us, and Christ rose to give us new life. Without the bodily resurrection of Christ, there is no hope. Plain and simple. This is why "Christianity" is angry and will react to the movie. The bottom line is that releasing this movie without definitive evidence is to undercut the core of a religious beflief without making sure you are right.

A: If the pure resurection is the base of Christianity why didn't anyone after the death of Jesus question why the faithfull's bodies remained at the burial sites so they had to put the bones in boxes.Has that ever been brought up, seems strange to me???

A: Christ did exist, He did die, but He rose from the dead. There would not be a Jesus family grave. Jesus was buried in a borrowed grave anyway.

A: Doesn't matter whose family it was at this point, I am demanding to know what WE (whoever we is) does with the bones from a family grave, you would be pissed if someone lost your family bones from a vault you bought and paid for 2000 years ago, and then found your casket in a family art collection somewhere!!!! COME ON, We need to know the bones were kept care of , then we can argue over who they belong to!!!!!!!!!!!

A: It's the old story of good news / bad news.
The good news is, we can prove Jesus was a real person.
The bad news is, we can prove Jesus was a real person.

A: If someone put you in a borrowed grave, would your family leave you there, or would they move you so you could be close to them when they died.

A: Thats it!! a borrowed grave! Nothing more to see here. Mystery solved.
This whole thing is BS anyway, because everyone knows that Jesus is really buried in India and his mother in Pakistan. Duh! Get a clue people

A: I think the disciples stole the body to protect it. Then reburied it so that grave robbers or whatever did not come and destroy it--he was hated as much as loved. I believe that his spirit went on just as ours does. I got so mad at someone at work running their mouth. They said well he came back and touched Thomas--Thomas could feel his touch--well my mom was killed 10 years ago and my daughter who is 11 feels her touch and plays dolls with her I have felt her touch when I've been through horrible times in my life--maybe jesus spirit came back to comfort his family just as my mother does--needless to say that ended the discussion at work.

A: Wes Boll,
your question was answered in the show. The bones were reburied in an undisclosed to the public location, according to Jewish law. They showed the bone being reburied but they did not say where. They don't want people coming in droves digging them up so that they can end up in someones family art collection one day.
I don't think dougntam was trying to suggest it was that easy. I think he/she was just trying to make a point. The thumpers are, "no, no, no, the bible says this and the bible says that, so it can't be true." But if someone, somewhere, someday proved, once and for all, that Jesus existed, that he was infact the Messiah, no matter what the Bible says or doesn't say, then Christians would have been "right" all along and all the nay-sayers would have to stick it in their pipes and smoke it. It's a valid point. Whether finding Jesus' bones would undercut Christianity to the core or not, dougntam had a very valid point to make to the thumpers.
I'm a Christian, but I'm not stupid and I'm not naive either. I know that the Gospels contradict each other, even to the point of invalidating one another on certain points. So something about Jesus that was written has to be false, at least incorrect. You can't possibly believe it's all true. You can't possibly believe Jesus was crucified the day before and the day after Passover. It has to be one or the other, it can't be both. So what's to say that any of it is complete fact? What's to say most of it is?
