What if it's not a farce, and the real tomb was dicovered, and just written off as a farce by people too obsessed with believing in faith, to acknowledge the truth? As I said earlier. We'll never conclusivly discover the truth on this matter, because even if it was discovered, there will never be enough proof for the skeptics.

Every year, around Easter and Passover, it's something. People always want to make Jesus out to be a lie, a made up person, a myth, liar / lunatic / legend, but regardless of the attempts, Jesus Christ is Lord, and is the only Lord, and the only way to God the Father. |
Why do Christians always want to make jesus out to be a truth, a real person, savior / saint / son of god / way to salvation / lord / only lord / only way to God the Father?
I think you'll find most non believers dont deny that Jesus existed. I'm sure some where some time, there was a man named Jesus and he was involved in a new way of thinking. Which was threatening to the people currently holding power, and resulted in his death.

Everyone wants to get to heaven, but few believe in hell. Everyone wants to get to heaven, yet no one wants to meet the requirements. |
I think you give the benefits of your faith to much credit. As someone who personally doesn't believe in heaven, I'm not trying to get into it.

People think they can live how they want not realizing and thinking about the fact that one day, they will stand in front of a HOLY God and have to answer for every single thing they did, visible or hidden. |
If all of us, regardless of having a proclaimed faith, will have to stand in front of your Holy God, I'm confident that the fact that because I have led a positive life, helped people when I can, and haven't caused harm to others, and dont hold malice in my heart towards any other individuals, will stand for much more than professing a faith out of fear of not measuring up.
Quote:
Unless Jesus Christ is Lord of your life, you don't have eternal security. The only was is through Christ. There is no life apart from God and no salvation apart from Christ. |
Salvation from what? For those of us who dont spend our lives working for death, living here is already Salvation. Perhaps Were already in Heaven?

People want to make up their own gods because they are so much more convenient, but such is the nature of man -- selfish. None are good, none are perfect, none are sinless. |
Many people didn't have a choice as to what God they believe in. The ONLY reason you believe in christianity, is because your were born into a christian family and raised that way. Had you been born to a family in any other part of the world, the odds are against you that you would be Christian today. Your only Christian by chance.
[quote'People get mad when Christians say Christ is the only way, but we should be glad God even provided a way! And Christ is not just a Christian's truth; He is
THE truth.[/quote]
What way did God provide to all the families living in this world who have never been exposed to your Western Religion, if Christianity is the only way? Perhaps, God, in his infinite Wisdom, realised that because of how different everyone in the world is, that they would need different ways to reach him.
Thats reeks of Pride to me. To think that you, would even claim to know what God thinks. How vain of you to tell others that the way God showed you to get to heaven, is the only way. To not even consider that perhaps he has already shown others a different way. If indeed as you yourself said, all roads lead to God,

Then perhaps the road you walk, like my road, is just the road less traveled?
