Bible Studies/The Tomb of Jesus

Question
I've seen the big hoopla about the finding of the tomb of Jesus who "experts" believe lied in conjunction with Mary Magdalene, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and a tomb that apparently said "Judas, son of Jesus."  From a Biblical standpoint, could this be possible?  Could Jesus have been married to Mary M. and produced offspring?  Also, doesn't the Bible say Jesus' body ascended into Heaven?  There were human remains in the tomb marked "Jesus, son of Joseph" so Biblically speaking, that couldn't be true, right?  I just want an opinion.
Thanks & blessings,
Carianne

Answer
Dear Carianne,

Biblically speaking, you are correct; it is not possible. Christ Jesus was God manifested in the flesh and he left an empty grave. In these last days you can expect many deceptions and attacks on our faith. Knowledge of God's word is the only defense to these. I hope you are reading the Bible regularly, from cover to cover. I highly recommend the King James Version.

Your Servant In Christ Jesus,

Expertise

The Bible contains an answer to all things necessary to life and salvation. We many times simple do not like the answer it gives. But, if your seeking the truth of God`s word, I can give my opinion and show from the Scriptures the basis for why I believe it is the correct interpretation of the Bible on most questions.

Experience

I have been a student of the Bible for over 25 years.
