The Jesus Family Tomb

Hello All,

I am very interested in Christianity I have recently watched the documentary and coincidently read the book called the Jesus Family Tomb and found it to be a compelling story. The discovery of a tomb that possibly held the family of Jesus. Was looking for some hardcore Christian views of this. Please could people who have seen the film or more importantly read the book post. Tried posting on there website however not very different views there. Also the compelling evidence for Mary Magdalene or Mara Mariamne as know in the Gnostic gospel of Philip is extreamly moving!. Your Views?

They both have been soundly refuted (see here and here).

Byblos Hello thanks for your reply..

Been reading I second link you posted was a bit poor but the first very interesting, I am going to read that now. Have you read the book its very compelling. Hypertheticly if this was true would it be feasible in your view? And have you read the book?

The links I provided are but a few of a ton of material on the internet. The point is both have been proven wrong. And why do you think the second is poor? Which part do you not agree with and why? Please be as detailed as possible so we can discuss.

I did not read the book but I followed up on the story from the moment it came out.

Oh, I watched that when it was on last year.

Just a bunch of clap-trap.
