Why can't Christians Verify Exactly Where Jesus Was Buried?

You can't read anything into the vocabulary. Jesus spoke it in ~30AD, and it wasn't written down until 40-50 years later by the author of Matthew. The author of the gospel might have used a proto-lxx, but there's no indication at all that Jesus did - in fact quite the opposite. Jesus cites the scriptures as being made up of the Law, Psalms & the Prophets (Matt 5:17, 7:12, 22:40; Luke 16:16, 22:44; John 1:45), and also containing jots and tittles (Matt 5:18). That was a very quick search, but there are at least those seven direct references to the Hebrew version of the scriptures, and none whatsoever to the Greek (which is has the structure Law, History, Wisdom, Prophets).

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
