The garden tomb was founded in the 19th century. The tomb of the garden tomb is 7-8 centuries before Jesus Christ was around. Sure it was common for tombs to be reused but the Bible is clear that the tomb was new. Also the garden existed during the time of crusades and not the time of Jesus Christ. The skull rock formation was also not there due to erosion. The holy sepulchre tomb recently discovered to been around the 1st century ad.

The tomb in the garden tomb dates back 7-8 centuries before Jesus Christ was around. Sure it was common for tombs to be reused but the Bible says that the tomb was new. Also the garden likely existed during the time of crusades and not the time of Christ. Also the skull rock formation wouldn’t been there in the time of Christ as well because of erosion.

​@@stevenmanriquez8030 The only way they date the tombs is by the style of the tomb, which the style was used 7-8 centuries before christ but who's to say it wasn't built in Jesus time, this is a more luxury tomb in comparison. Would god choose to be buried in a tiny hole in the wall or an actual tomb that was large enough to have mulitple visitors and to warrant a stone in front of it as the story depicts. Anyway you will believe w/e you want. However, that doesn't mean the tomb is 7-8 centuries before christ. 1.This is a special tomb for Jesus burial. 2. Its in a garden 3. Next to a winepress. 4. Next to the skull hill known as golgotha There is only 1 location that still to this day fits that definition. its the garden tomb. God preserved the location. and ron wyatt excavated it and found the ark of the covenant. Which is still in the tunnel he found it in, until a specific moment for it to be revealed. However, that doesn't mean that this tomb, wasn't built in Jesus time, with the same style as older tombs. When compared to the holy sepulchre, the story of mary going into the tomb to see jesus and another person being in the tomb makes zero sense as its simply not large enough. But the garden tomb is. Where is the wine press for the holy seplechure? There is a winepress right next to the garden tomb. I highly suggest you watch ron wyatts discoveries and not be so gullible to believe false dating methods, esp from ppl who believe the earth is billions of years old.

@@DerickMcAfee The tomb is part of an 8th-century BC grave complex, while the Gospels describe Jesus' tomb as being new and cut out of rock in the 1st century. The garden tomb is in the style of a 1st temple tomb while it contradicts the style of the 2nd temple tombs. Just because it fits the definition doesn’t mean it was always there. The garden didn’t exist until the crusade era. church tradition says that early believers met at the holy sepulchre location as early as the mid first century to pray and worship. The Romans destroyed Jerusalem at the end of the 1st century. There is evidence that in early 2nd century the Romans built a pagan temple at this location, dedicated to Greek gods. This fact is fascinating and important to consider. Because when the Romans would conquer a city or region, they would build temples at locally significant spiritual or religious locations. They did it to stamp out local religious traditions with the intent of assimilating the population to Roman culture. However, there is no record of a significant historical Jewish site of worship at this spot. Something of local and spiritual significance must have happened here that caused the Romans to build a pagan temple.

​@@stevenmanriquez8030 No. The tomb is not "part of" the grave complex which is on the opposite side of the wall. If it was part of the complex it would be connected and be a chamber of that complex. It's not. indicating being built at separate times. There is no indication this was built at the same time. Just because there are tombs built in the 1st temple period and tombs that were common in the 2nd temple period, does not mean a 1st temple tomb wasn't built in the 2nd temple period, esp when we are considering the fact that the 1st temple period tombs are more spacious and considered of much higher quality. You are assuming the tomb that is the style of a 1st temple period tomb is for sure a 1st temple period tomb. If i made a tomb today the style of the 1st temple period, who is to say 1000 years from now it wasn't from the 1st temple period? In reality, the tomb is not part of the 1st temple complex which is on the opposite side of the wall, but is a specific tomb, in a garden, next to a winepress, next to a hill called golgotha. There is only 1 location that fits that definition today. God preserves his word. With a story attributed to it such as ron wyatt, with the ark of the covenent being found in a tunnel under the garden tomb area, there is no doubt that the garden tomb is the location. Esp if you consider the idea that the blood of christ during the earthquake when he died, dripped down the cross through the cracks, into the tunnel below, onto the ark of the covenant, which is where the blood of sacrifices was to be placed. Christ being the ultimate sacrifice, this story takes faith, but in reality, the temple institute today says they know where the ark is, its in a tunnel where it was found and will remain until a set moment, the same story as ron wyatts interesting... If you go to the church of the holy sepulchre you will see nothing but idol worship, go to the garden tomb, nothing but peace.

@@DerickMcAfee The Garden tomb association even states that Ron Wyatt found nothing. He wasn’t even an archaeologist and didn’t have an archaeologist in his team. The pictures were clearly staged. If you believe him, then you believe him but it doesn’t prove his claims were data. Why would they cut out a 1st temple period tomb in the time of Jesus Christ. Nothing helps you with that. The tomb was new and not reused. Tombs around it weren’t of that period as well. Holy sepulchre matches it better because the tomb itself and tombs around the area date back to 1st century. No evidence that garden in the garden tomb wasn’t from the crusade period. And show me proof skull hill form was around the time of Christ. It probably wasn’t there

wow, such class. to accuse someone you don't know of lying just because you don't like what they say? smh That attitude is part of the problem, not the solution.

furthermore, what would possibly be gained by lying about anything in this video? What would the purpose and the goal be? This channel isn't monetized, so there isn't any money being made.

The Holy Sepulchre is the real place.

You have me curious how that worked out and what conclusions you came to. As well as what you thought of mine. I'd love to know more. Either here or if you prefer you can email me. As someone who was not raised as a Christian I find those that "deconstruct" and the process very interesting- and how many of them emerge with a stronger faith (though not all)
