They Found Jesus' Body!!!

According to the article they did forensics in a New York crime lab. But they didn't specify on which one they did forensics to. This is good it will tell us a lot.

Here, Basically is what has happened.
25 years ago they found a tomb that had 10 coffins in it.
Among the names on the coffins were one 'Jesus son of Joseph' and another 'Mary' and another Mary.
There is also a 'Judah son of Jesus' in there too.

The DNA business was attempting to prove this was a family.
It turns out the DNA between the Jesus and the Mary is not related so the speculation there is that they are married.
The DNA is to compare body to body but not for any special characteristics.

The problem:
Jesus, Mary and Joseph happen to be three of the most popular names of that time.
In fact, they already have several 'Jesus son of Josephs' already and Marys are everywhere. (or variations of these names)

The other problem:
This is a fairly expensive family tomb type situation in Jerusalem. This doesnt square with Jesus and his family. If you do go ahead and suggest that maybe they moved there and became wealthier ok.. but then thats a pretty bad story in light of the Jesus-is-dead phenominon going on at the time.

Good question #1:
The whole thing sorta comes down to some 'statistics' and what they try and do is say 'whats the mathematical probability of having two marys and a jesus in the same family.


Good question #2:
Being that 'Jesus Bones' has been the sort of 'Holy Grail' (no pun intended) of antichristians for so many years that its a fair question to ask if this is a little 'too convenient'.
You dont presume that either but its worth asking as they did with the James Ossuary last year.

I will definately be watching.
This time of year (before Easter) we get the usual onslaught of 'historical jesus' stories.
This is their biggest effort yet.

 

Deleted...moved to new thread.

 

Spook... you posted that in the wrong thread.

This is the one for Jesus Tomb: The Movie.

 

I responded to your post # 8 in this thread...the concept of "Christianity as we know it would be effectively over and done" seemed like a good place to start a discussion.

It does needs to be in a different thread, I agree. Therefore, I'll start a new one.

 

Thanks Spook.

Monday will be the sensational publicity stunt deal with the coffins (ossuary) being revealed at a live press conference in the USA.

Discovery channel has some interactive stuff on their site:

Well anyway the documentary will be shown on March 4th on the discovery channel.

A couple of times, I've submitted a realistic and nonsensational argument here for the possibility of Jesus having been married...it got either blasted or ignored.

 

Honestly, it's a 600 to 1 chance that they've found the body of Jesus Christ and they think they've got a story?!

 

As Ikdenkhetniet posted: DNA would prove a family connection, but family plots and tombs have been common for thousands of years. My fathers family has a large plot in the old home town. Full now, didn't plan on so many grandkids.
The De Vinci code, was a great book and movie, gave a person a lot to think about.
But you find it in the fiction area of your book store.
Now for a touch of humor.... We know that Jesus was Jew...
1. He went into the family business
2. Lived with his parents even after he was a grown man.
3. Believed his mother was a virgin
4. His mother thought he was god.

I thought the following was Jesus when I saw it:

 

The first thing my stepdad did after me telling him about this documentary was telling me that exact joke

 

Rubin:
Sounds like your step dad is another old guy with a GREAT sense of humor.......

 

If the crucifixion were just a myth, why have they found the remains of first century christian churches around Jerusalem that were built in the shape of a cross. No doubt some of the members of these churches would of been at the crucifixion, or even close realatives of theirs would of been.

The Bible is often used by scholars when doing research on ancient Middle Eastern studies, and the reason for this, is because of it's accuracy.

 

It's hard to find accuracy in a metaphor, but yes... it is indeed based on real events.

Church's could have easily been built in the shape of a cross to symbolize the injustice of the crucifixion method (many christians were crucified, after all... not just the Jesus).

 

just cause theres false prophecys in orthodox christanity dosnt mean jesus is false- you got to understand comon sense - the rapture is really a comet hiting the earth on 12-21-2012- jesus already came back to earth thru reincarnation= he came back as lucifer beterknown as the myth of osiris is about the 2nd coming of christ--the egyptian religion confirms jesus as creator in the name of Ra- horus is the 2nd coming of jesus-set is lucifer-defeating the devil is stoping the sin in yourself and acheving enlightenment and i hope they do find jesus bones-i would sqaush the false prophecys circulating in the church these days
