Which religion should I choose?

Which grave? There are three that I'm aware of that various groups claim is the "real" burial site of Jesus.

All 3 fill the record given in Scripture?

The "record" is vague and sketchy at best. Just the same, there are three graves claimed by different groups to be the authentic resting place of Christ.

Others say differently.

And only one will make the cut.

I was thinking of distinguishing characteristics or a specific location that would help one find it...

things like: "in a garden nigh to the place where he was crucified, outside the city walls. ... that a stone was rolled against the tomb"

Do all three have these same characteristics?

Do they all show evidence of being "new" or at least "underconstruction". Are they all in a garden near the crucifixion site? Do they all have evidence of where a stone might be "rolled" infront of the opening?

How, exactly, is a 2000 year old tomb going to be look new?

How can you have faith in the cross? Where do you get your information from if the evolution of the bible is 'dubious at best'?

try those greek manuscripts i mentioned before.

And one of his graves is supposedly in Glastonbury Abbey, England.

How much effort have you actually put into this investigation?

You mean you would't be able to mark that one off the list when compared to the Biblical account?

Nin, you're a pro at asking questions and never answering them, so this response is typical. Believe it or not we apostates actually know a thing or two.

Well then please share. I'd like to hear about the three that you know of that are claimed to be the "real" tomb.

Well, I've seen the evidence. That's why I asked you how much effort you have actually put forth. Mind answering the question now?

I read your "coming out" thread. It appeared to me the only thing you left was a church buliding. Are you sure "apostate" fits you?

Yep, I'm pretty sure. And I've read enough to know that no one agrees if the "tombs" claimed to be Jesus' actually are. And there happens to be more than one claimant, as well.

Like I asked before...

Do they all have the same characteristics? Surely they do not all have the Bible account backing them up.

Please be sure not to over look Sibbie's post:

" Well then please share. I'd like to hear about the three that you know of that are claimed to be the "real" tomb."

If all you're looking for is a tomb outside Jerusalem, plenty fit the bill. These are referred to as the tomb of Jesus more out of church tradition than anything else.

But that's not all the Bible says is it? Or did you not read the link?

Then we don't have to "count them in" if they don't muster up, do we?

Do you have any links for Sibbie?

 

[Granite]

NONE of them past muster. That's the point.

Anyway I think we've both hijacked this thread long enough...

Sibbie, looks like you've got him on the run. (I'm sure you expected nothing less.)

That is only true if you want to be dishonest.

Not really. This is a thread about "choosing a religion". The garden tomb is an evidence for Christ.

Don't have a link for Sibbie?
