In 1980 a tomb was found. In 2007, we’re told it is the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. Man, does this information create some problems. All Christians I know are going to struggle with the “no resurrection” issue. The Church of Rome is going to have a difficult time with the “family” thing. If Jesus’ brothers are buried in this tomb, there goes the forever virgin Mary thing. Those Churches whose people live miserable lives waiting on their inheritance in Heaven are unhappy too. If Jesus has a son, Judah, is he going to get the lion’s share? How much will be left for them? If Jesus was married, does that mean the supposed intimate relationship with John was not a reality. That’s tough on the “gay” community.
Here’s what I’m going to do. I going to believe the testimony of God’s Word illuminated by His Spirit within me that clearly declares - It ain’t Him! He’s alive and living in Heaven!

The "Lost Tomb of Jesus" is just an attempt to legitimize the mythology rising up around the twentieth-century discovery of the Nag Hammadi gnostic manuscripts which modern scholars are currently attempting to hold up as the poor "little guy" movement which got the short end of the stick as those other, tiresome, Eastern and Western versions of "orthodoxy" began to predominate and "stamp out" the poor undeserving gnostics.
It's just a flash in the pan which will quickly be well refuted by genuine scholarship which plays by the rules. But the present book and documentary are merely propaganda to get some airtime in the media in order to keep the general public thinking along the lines of the politically correct and theologically liberal and secular notion that the Jesus of the Bible is not the Jesus of history.
Go here for good sites presenting sound conservative evangelical scholarship defending the historical Jesus of the Bible:
