31. Jesus found
Phil McCracken ,   Missouri   (02.23.07)
We'll wait to see the film desecrating our saviors grave first and begin stonings later. As a christian I find this sending of the grave site for exibition disturbing.
32. Assumption
Steve ,   USA   (02.23.07)
So where does that leave the Catholic Dogma regarding the Ascension and the Assumption?
33. To #5
Bilbo Baggins ,   The Shire   (02.23.07)
I am deeply offended by your implication that Hobbits are real. In fact we are. Come face me like a man - I'll bite you on your left knee!
34. RE : JESUS BURIAL SITE DISCOVERY
Angelo Msafiri ,   Dar Es Salaam   (02.23.07)
I am 100% sure they discovery will never change christians belief and this shows that jews are looking ways to defends their beliefs that they are waiting for Christ first appearance and while christians they are waiting for the second appearance for the final judgement.
35. #18J. Hall
Edwin ,   Canada   (02.23.07)
I, too, have researched the same question and found absolutely no data to support your theory of resurrection. I would be interested if you would posit your single-most compelling, non-anecdotal piece of real “conclusive” evidence you claim to have. I don’t mean a ramble on how he has changed lives ever since. So have Buddha and Mohammed. Similarly, don’t bother to cite contradictory so called “eye-witness” accounts recorded a couple of generations later. They simply don’t stand up.
36. #22---Freddy
Edwin ,   Canada   (02.23.07)
Sorry, Freddy, but you are a little out of date on your hoax theory. It is funny how people tend to only quote opinions that support their own belief system and ignore the later, more researched judgments.
37. ABOUT CHRIST AND HIS BURIAL SITE
K.D.Kilby ,   Newark,delaware   (02.23.07)
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL IN SCRIPTURE THAT TELLS OR POINTS TO CHRIST BEING BURIED IN A COFFIN, FOR HE WAS ENTOMBED WITH BURIAL CLOTHES, AND WHATS EVEN MORE PROOF IS THE FACT THAT CHRIST WAS RESSURECTED AND ASCENDED TO HEAVEN. TO DISPLAY EMPTY COFFINS OF WHICH THE CHRIST WAS NOT PUT IN IS SACRILIGIOUS AND BLASPHEMUS!!!!!!!
38. Is Friday Comedy Day?
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens, NY, USA   (02.23.07)
Despite James cameron being connected with this, it is impossible to take this seriously. Isn't Purim a couple of weeks from now?
39. to #20 paqid
Igal   (02.23.07)
Hey!, paqid! they found your pharisean ribi!!! your mashiakh!!!... ...still signing as 'israeli orthodox jew' though, isn´t that a contradiction?
40. Decoded?
Dan ,   USA   (02.23.07)
What do the mean decoded? Who adds encryption to coffins - Wouldn't it just be just plain Aramaic?
41. stop being so cynical
Jordan ,   Washington, DC   (02.23.07)
Geeez, stop being so cynical. Wait until you watch the film. Obviously it was basically kept a secret for 30 years for a reason... Try to watch the film with an open mind. It's a proven fact that there are more gospels etc than what the church officially uses and they all have different accounts of the past. All this would do is force the church to reexamine past decisions about which gospels best serve its interests. (And let's not forget, these gospels were mostly written hundreds of years AFTER the actual apostles died.)
42. Buried like people.
JK ,   NYC   (02.23.07)
Get it stuck in the ground to rot like all human beings, no standing up and flying, nothing, in the ground to decompose like all flesh, and to think a "civilization" was built on this stupidity.
43. To # 7
Jan ,   usa   (02.23.07)
That particular verse you gave is about Joseph being embalmed(turned inta a mummy) and then encased if a coffin as was the Egyptian custom. Since his brothers sold him to traders who took him to Egypt and the lived there the rest of his life and was 2nd in command only to the king, it would only stand to reason that Joseph would partake of that tradition. I will watch the documentary and judge for myself, but I can't get away from the fact that the catacombs which were discovered also and predate to the time of Yashua.
44. Director James Cameron
Leander ,   New York   (02.23.07)
Does he work for Bar Ilan University?
45. Coffins?
Dave ,   Houston, TX   (02.23.07)
I believe everything I have read has said they wrapped bodies in linen and used incense and such to mask the smell, so I'm not sure where the coffins come from?!?!?!? Next we will hear they found the electric chair that they Crucified Jesus with :)
46. Finding body of Christ
Scott ,   Tulsa, USA   (02.23.07)
Luke 24:5-6 Why do you seek the living among the dead. He is not here but has been raised.
47. Old story
Yisrael Medad ,   shiloh   (02.23.07)

48. Hoax: like the box w/ the inscriptions was proven to be.
gg   (02.23.07)
49. You insult Christians who have been Israels Greatest Friends
yashi Ramin ,   New York   (02.23.07)
at your risk. WHY? The NT is MORE Proven and scrutinized than anything in history including the OT. Take care who you lie about Paqid.
50. Another Fraud
Michael ,   USA   (02.23.07)
Here's the bottom line. The foundation of the Christian faith is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead in front of many witnesses. There is no recorded history of a "coffin" for Jesus. This is a fraud. Another skeptical attempt to portray Jesus as anything but Lord and Savior. It won't work. As Dr. Simon Greenlead stated in "An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists by the Rules of Evidence Administered in the Courts of Justice", if the resurrection of Jesus was put before any 12 unbiased jurors in the world they would have no choice but to conclude that Jesus rose from dead.

51. YNET hates *MY* comments on the xtians
YNET IS HILARIOUS ,   ..............DACON9   (02.23.07)
I TELL WHATS REALLY HAPPENING. NOT WHAT YNET WANTS TO HAPPEN? OR WHAT THEY *THINK* IS HAPPENING BUT I ONLY REPEAT WHAT THE PROPHETS SAY.. ABOUT THE CHILDREN OF EDOM=ROMANS=XTIANS. OH WELL... I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE EDITORS OF YNET WHEN MASHIACH COMES WHEN THEY PASS ***MY***JUDGEMENT.. OK JUST JOKING A LITTLE
52. Jesus burial
Hank ,   Indianapolis, IN   (02.23.07)
Why would the body be produced in the modern age? It would have made more sense to produce the body and destroy the movement at the time of occurrence. Many will die for their faith, but the first followers of Jesus had the ability to know the truth, dead or not. The historicity of the man and movement, regardless of the resurrection claims, is beyond dispute. I give this claim as much validity as the one that claims Jesus and his twin died and were buried in Japan, after teaching Shinto in the Judean countryside.
53. more fantasy....
fang ,   Pennsylvania, USA   (02.23.07)
sounds like more of the "DaVinci Code" fantasy........
54. May more evidence expose the great Lie!
שילוה ,   ישראל   (02.23.07)
This is no accident that more and more information is exposing the great Lie of Christianity. I hope soon more will come out and finally expose this crime against the historical Jew who has nothing to do with all of this. Then it will point to what has been Truth.
55. why wait 30 years to reveal it ?
Nabil ,   Lebanon   (02.23.07)
if it is true then why wait 30 years to reveal it ? as far as i know ,, with all the hoax some are publishing about Jesus,, I will add this one to it.. people just don't get it !! Jesus is the lord and the son of GOD, and the messiah that all humanity been waiting for,, JEWISH PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FIGHT THIS BUT BE VERY PROUD OF IT CAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THEM THAT WILL SAVE THE WORLD !
56. #2
Nabil ,   Lebanon   (02.23.07)
GOD do not lie, and did not lie when HE promised the israelis to bless the world through them,, when He said you ( the israelis ) are the chosen one ,, He chose Your people to send His messiah to the rest of the world . you were the chosen one and mission and promise was accomplished King david described Jesus on the cross dying for humanity,, I suggest You read it .
57. Jesus' casket
Reggie Ballard ,   Mt. Holly N C USA   (02.23.07)
You might have a casket with Christ's name on it , but you don't have his bones or body!
58. Logical contradiction
Clark ,   Winnipeg, Canada   (02.23.07)
The resurrection of Jesus was the greatest single fact of the early Church. The first believers (Jews) were galvanized from a fearful, dispirited, grief-stricken band into emboldened apologists for Jesus, because they had seen him alive again. The religious leaders were scandalized by the behaviour of these early witnesses, but all they had to do was to produce the dead body of Jesus to completely discredit them--but they couldn't do it. Why? Because there was no dead body--Jesus was raised back to life. Whether a naive Purim prank, or an innocuous archaeological mistake, this media presentation is destined to bring embarrassment on its producers.
59. Another media swipe at Christians
Tony ,   USA   (02.23.07)
I will wait to see this documentary, but I feel this is another attempt by those in the media to diminish the impact and relevance of Christianity in the world. Would the media ever show, or have the courage to produce a documentary that would question the very foundations of Islam or their prophet Mohammed? I don't think so!
