Those in charge have waited for 26 years until now to reveal their finds because they wanted to be sure. The strongest piece of evidence for this being Jesus is the fact that although the names are common, the odds that all of those names being in the same family (and consequently in the same tomb) is something like 1 in 42 million given the current population speaking the language.

I enjoyed the article, and certainly agree with Mr. Anderson's conclusions. These sensational "finds" are frustrating in one sense, but if they cause even one person to investigate, go to the real source, the Bible, I believe they will discover the truth (Isaiah 55:10,11). Even these things can be used to bring people to saving faith!

Excuse me sir. I know Yeshua is Jesus' Hebrew name, but what does the last name Hammashiach mean? Thank you, Luke

Great article. I saw this morning on Good Morning America that they were even raising some criticism, although not much. It seems everyone is trying to get on the bandwagon of discrediting Christianity. Thanks for giving us the facts. Luke

Excellent article. I came to much of the same conclusion before reading this article. If there were a family tomb, it would have been in Galilee, and more specifically in Nazareth, as that is where the family lived up to the time that Yeshua started His ministry. Most poor Hebrew couldn't afford such elaborate bone boxes, and tombs, which would have included Yeshua and His family - mother, father. But where is John's bones? Didn't Yeshua charge John with the care of His mother, so where is his bones? It is also true that the Jewish leaders hate Yeshua, so why would He and His family have lived there and/or been buried there? Also one last thing that really stuck out and bothered me is the fact that Yeshua foretold of Rome's attack and destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 A.D. As a result of that prophecy, no Messianic Jews lost their lives during the siege and massacre of the 1.2 million Hebrews in Jerusalem, by Titus. Wouldn't is seem strange for those 1st century Christians to left the bones of the Messiah behind to possibly be desecrated, by the Romans? When the Jews left Egypt, they gather up Jacob's bones and brought them out of Egypt, so why wouldn't the Messianic Jews, have gathered up the bones of the most important figure in their religion, and took them out of Jerusalem in order to protect them from tomb robbers and other forms of desecration. No, based on Mr. Anderson's fact and the things I have discussed, I can't even begin to believe that any of the bones there has anything to do with Yeshua Hammashiach's family. Anyone who believes that these are Yeshua's bones are lost to begin with.
Just My 2 cents worth...

I believe that Jesus DID arise in the flesh because he "materialized" before Thomas. That was when he asked him to place his hands in his wounds, so that he would believe he was, indeed, the risen Christ. That was his fleshly body at that moment. Of course, it was His Sprit body later. So what happened to His bones? I don't believe they remained in ANY grave.
Jesus married? What an absurd teaching! Just something else to try and promote The DeVinci Code and other agnostic views!

Absolutely NOT! We are told in the Holy Scriptures that there were many witnesses who saw Jesus arise from the grave and assend into heaven in His reserected and glorified body, leaving not a trace of himself on this earth. And they all wrote about the event in the Bible.
To deny these facts would be to blastfeem the Holy Scriptures.
