Cameron is pandering to the public and his "find" will be proven to be just bad science:
The statistical analysis is not rigorous
The name "Jesus" was a popular name at that time, appearing in 98 other tombs and on 21 other ossuaries
There is no historical evidence that Jesus was ever married or had a child
The earliest followers of Jesus never called him, "Jesus, son of Joseph"
It's unlikely Joseph, who had died earlier in Galilee, would have been buried in Jerusalem
The Talipot tomb and ossuaries probably would have belonged to a rich family, which is not a historical match for Jesus
Fourth-century church historian Eusebius makes quite clear the body of James, brother of Jesus, was buried alone near the temple mount.
The two Mary ossuaries do not mention anyone from Migdal, but just Mary, a common name
By all ancient accounts, the tomb of Jesus was empty, making it unlikely that any body was moved, allowed to decay for a year, then be put into an ossuary.
Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site, said the conclusions cannot be supported by the evidence – but it's a way to make money on television. He would have nothing to do with supporting the movie's assertions. "It's nonsense," he said.
James, the half-brother of Jesus and author of the book of James, the early leader of the church in Jerusalem, was martyred for his faith. Why does James make no mention in his letter that Jesus was not bodily resurrected? When he was about to die why didn't he just recant his beliefs and say, 'Okay, okay! My brother didn't rise from the dead. Here's where we took him. Here's where his bones are. Here's our family tomb. We made the whole thing up?' People will generally not die for a lie when they know it's a lie. Why would James die perpetuating a lie when it would have been so easy to disprove? In fact why would any of the apostles go to their deaths for something they knew to be false?
As I have expected, there has been **no scientific or historical find** that has ever been shown to disprove the authenticity of the bible's history or theology.

Matthew 16:18: "you're Peter, and upon this rock i am going to construct my church" St Peter became our first Pope. we've an unbroken line of Popes because then. Catholic actually means "usual" and it nevertheless is a usual church. The Sacraments, our sacred Doctrine, sure . . . it really is from the time of Christ, for this reason the cost of the finest Supper. Rosary got here later. No Catholic is "compelled" to wish the Rosary. No Catholic is compelled to ask Mary or the Saints to intercede on our behalf. Statues and artwork have lengthy been helpful preparation equipment, extraordinarily as Christianity spread to parts the position language turned right into a barrier. because ninety 9% of the inhabitants couldn't study you should make sure how photos of the crucifixion will be significant. Or the Stations of the pass. Or the numerous gamers. i do not comprehend why you're utilizing "shouty caps" about the Roman Catholic Church being at one hundred% at present. nicely for sure -- yet why would it stay actually stuck in a international of two,000 years in the past at the same time as humanity moved on, stronger and grew? The Church has moved proper alongside with the international, albeit slightly slower at the same time as it contains making significant statements on the topic of Doctrine or Dogma.

Probably zero to none.
Scholars criticize new Jesus documentary: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2007-02-26-jesus-documentary_x.htm?csp=34
No serious archaeologist, theologian, or everyday Christian will take this 'new' discovery (that is over 10 years old) seriously.
Basic Christian doctrine teaches that Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and later rose to heaven. No bones would be left behind.
People have been trying to undermine Christianity since its beginning with theories like someone other than Jesus died on the cross. None of these attacks have been ever been even partially successful.
With love in Christ.

The JW's, Mormons, and Catholics will all probably fight for it, but before anyone can do anything with them, a group of extremist terrorists from a completely separate religion will suicicide-bomb the place and destroy all evidence, then cite the Christian confusion that ensues as a way of saying "The Christians don't even know their own founder" and demonstrating that their (the terrorists') religion is the one supreme world religion.

They can spend as much money as they please. They will only be buying someone else's bones. If anyone thinks those are really the bones of Jesus. I have a nice piece of swamp land I would like to sell you.

The odds are slim, particularly since there is so much debate regarding the veracity of the bones.
