Where are the remains of Jesus of Nazareth?

Jesus in me
Nope. But that doesn't mean he's a God, because if it does, we're gonna need to re-evaluate our takes on Alexander and countless other historical figures we also don't have the bodies of.

I believe he is not a god but is The God. God does not need to prove that He is and His living body does not do that but it does give us hope for having the same type of body in the resurrection.

Probably under a parking lot or building near the ancient city of Nazareth.
If you were the family and friends of a guy executed for anti Roman sedition you'd want his body buried back at home, now wouldn't you?
And you'd hardly tell those miscreants he hung out with, the ones who got him killed. Just take the body and run.

I believe that serves as conjecture and not fact.

We have remains from all the apostles, Popes and other Christians of note and there are only two that we do not have; Jesus and his mother Mary. Jesus ascended into Heaven and Mary was assumed.

Even the Muslims have a tomb for Jesus and admit it has no body.

Jesus' 1st century tomb, which also contained the ossuaries (bone boxes) for Mary, Mary Magdalene, Jesus' son Joses, and his brother James (among others), originally had the bones in them when they were found in 1980 in Talpiot, Israel. Children were playing with the bones, including using a skull as as a football, until a mother stopped them, collected them and turned them over to the authorities who subsequently lost them.

There are so many things incorrect about the above statement I don't even know where to begin.

Mary Magdalene's bones are all in Europe and accounted for.
Jesus had no children.
No one has found Mary's or Jesus' bones and there isn't even a credible claim to that.
James remains are thought to have been found in Israel but they are clouded with doubt, lawsuits and proposed fraud.

This just is not credible information.

Mary's grave is in Murree a hilly resort near Islamabad capital of Pakistan, and Jesus' remains in a tomb at Srinagar, Kashmir, India.

You have to actually be open to sources other than the ones which "validate" what you already believe. And since you don't know what information I'm talking about, of course you will find in incredible. It's there for all to see.

See above.

I feel we can agree that if there were credible evidence of Christ's remains it would be the media story of the millinium and atheist would be pushing the story to no end. Thus there is no validity to these assertions.

Church opposition would accompany any such evidence, and has. Thus the existence of the Talpiot tombs are so well suppressed. And atheists aren't interested in validating Jesus' existence, preferring to maintain his story as a myth.

Actually many Atheists think Jesus was a real man, - claiming to be the Messiah.

What they don't find true, - is the mythical god-man - trinity - miracle - virgin birth -stuff.

We know from Jewish writings that several people claimed to be the awaited Messiah.

If a tomb and remains of Jesus were found and that of non-existent children then the New Testament would be 100% false. There is no entity that would have the power to suppress that. Very powerful governments have tried to eradicate the Church from its borders through out all of history, there is just no reasonable way that kind of revelation could be hidden from the mainstream media.

Let's be real here if atheist could prove this they could decimate the Church for which there would be no recovery. Buying into a conspiracy theory doesn't make it so.
