The news is BIG, they done their homework; made the case; and now it’s time for the debate to begin.
This is where everyone can debate The Jesus Family Tomb and come to their own conclusions about the entire matter.
You can read in-depth information on the special Web site at www.discovery.com/tomb and have a debate by leaving your comments on the facts.
Did Jesus Have a Son?
Is this really the Jesus Family Tomb?
Will people try and cover this up?
I think this is fact as science can explain most things now, and yes people will try to cover things up.

This may be possible sammy but then who really knows, I guess the real truth may be lost forever.

Not true, no chance…Jesus did not have a son this is all just myth

I will wait to watch the full program on Discovery before I make my thoughts clear.

Why is it documentaries make such wild conclusions out of easily questionable evidence? I suppose they do it to drive up ratings.

No Change. Believers and dis-believers will continue to argue.

While I’ve always believed in Christianity, I try to look at facts as FACTS and if what I believe is wrong, I am very open to having that pointed out to me.
Still coming from a stongly Euro-centric family where every parental union consited of seveal Marias, Nicks, Peters and Georges, I can testify first hand that there can easily be more than one family with that combination of names. Let us not forget the Latin population who have made Yesus a very common name and there’s also at least one Maria (at minimum) in every family. How about the Jews and David and Miriam.
With that said, it’s quite the interesting perspective, but it’s certainly not definative.

Gee, after a quick inter-net search, I found six places where I’m (namesake) buried?
I thought the fact were, that Jesus & Mary went to France?
How come this site isn’t a 1,000 year old “Holy Site”
How come the Jew’s 2,000 years ago use this site to dis-spell the rumors that Jesus rose from the grave?
I may just be a brain with electrodes, in a jar on a lab shelf, but how come we are quick to jump at this “proof”, but we don’t acknowledge the “”facts” about the Bible?

I think christian people not speaking down (I’am a christian) should be more open minded I noticed some one said this is all a myth I beleive this to but still alot of people said the divinchi code was aginst religious beliefs I beviele there’s movies and real life so I would just hold on to my morales and whet I believe but give the show a chance and just watch it for amusement.

Dont worry about this. People will laugh and say “See, Christianity is a lie.” But remember what Jesus himself said, “Be not afraid, God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sowes, that also shall he reap.”

If Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and produced a son…so what. Jesus was God made flesh to live among men (women too) and why wouldn’t God allow him to live AS a man. To think that this is somehow a perversion of the Jesus story…why? Don’t we all, in the end, rise to our father who art in heaven? Finally something tangable…Jesus was here.

silly ppl, there is no argument to be made….they are GUESSING jesus had a son….and thus admitting jesus existed, none of the records in the bible says anything about him having a son…and thus, the guys who knew jesus reported him as the son of God….now THATS evidence, written account of ppl who knew him…..just like every other written account we go by….this is nothing but funny stuff that makes yet another biblical prophecy come to existance…”ppl will start believing in fables and turn their ear from the truth”….this being such fable…lmfao come on they think jesus was married to mary m. because of a painting, and now this? c’mon lmfao

Well, you need to remember that many things were voted in and out of the bible, like how the story of Jesus was told and many other things. There were many books removed from the bible in which many people were killed while they were trying to hide or protect them. They are now known as the dead sea scrolls. So just because the bible didn’t say it, doesn’t exactly mean it is exactly not true in some kind of sense.
