is it true that they discovered christs bones?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

No.The film is absolutely fraught with problems.Scholars are ripping the theory apart.
For starters:

The names found on the caskets were extremely popular in those times.In that era,21% of Jewish women were named Mary!

There is no other DNA sample of Jesus or His family to compare the remains with.All the DNA proved,was that the one buried in the 'Jesus' casket,was not related to the one in the 'Mary' casket.Those were the only ones they could extract DNA from.

Jesus' family were not even from Jerusalem.Jospeh's home he grew up in was in Bethlehem,and Jesus and his family lived in Galilee.Why would they be buried in Jerusalem,where they had no connection?

There is absolutely no evidence supporting the idea that Jesus was married or had a child,biblical or non-biblical.

The ossuaries that mention Mary,do not have any other descriptive features.They simply say 'Mary'.

The 'James son of Joseph,brother of Jesus' ossuary,which the makers of this film used to try and back up their claim,has been proven to be a forgery.

The main scholar who is the source for the story does not think it is Jesus' tomb.

Says Bar-Ilan University Professor Amos Kloner,"..those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE and CE"

Prof. Amos Kloner, the Jerusalem District archeologist who officially oversaw the work at the tomb in 1980 and has published detailed findings on its contents, on Saturday night dismissed the claims. "It makes a great story for a TV film," he told The Jerusalem Post. "But it's impossible. It's nonsense." “"They just want to get money for it,"
Prof. Kloner said there was no way the tomb housed the Holy Family.
The senior Israeli archaeologist who thoroughly researched the tombs after their discovery, and at the time deciphered the inscriptions, cast serious doubt on it.
"It is just not possible that a family who came from Galilee, as the New Testament tells us of Joseph and Mary, would be buried over several generations in Jerusalem."

Kloner said the names found on the ossuaries were common, and the fact that such apparently resonant names had been found together was of no significance. He added that "Jesus son of Joseph" inscriptions had been found on several other ossuaries over the years."There is no likelihood that Jesus and his relatives had a family tomb," Kloner said. "They were a Galilee family with no ties in Jerusalem. The Talpiot tomb belonged to a middle-class family from the 1st century CE."

"Archeological evidence shows that chances of these being the actual
burials of the Holy Family are almost nil," said Motti Neiger, a spokesman for the
Antiquities Authority.


"Simcha has no credibility whatsoever," says Joe Zias, who was the curator for anthropology and archeology at the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem from 1972 to 1997 and personally numbered the Talpiot ossuaries. "He's pimping off the Bible … He got this guy Cameron, who made 'Titanic' or something like that—what does this guy know about archeology? I am an archeologist, but if I were to write a book about brain surgery, you would say, 'Who is this guy?' People want signs and wonders. Projects like these make a mockery of the archeological profession."

Stephen Pfann, a biblical scholar at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem who was interviewed in the documentary, said the film's hypothesis holds little weight. "How possible is it?" he said. "On a scale of one through 10 - 10 being completely possible , it's probably a one, maybe a one and a half."


The official report written by Prof. Kloner found nothing remarkable in the discovery. The cave, it said, was probably in use by three or four generations of Jews from the beginning of the Common Era. It was disturbed in antiquity, and vandalized.

Answer 3

no.....all that junk you saw on TV or the news is all a joke.

Jesus, Mary, Joesph are names of that time like Mike, John are of today. There are over 9 other plots there with those same names. Let alone the DNA scratched off inside doesn't even match up to each other. So it was husband and wife or just people buried there that had no relationship.

Welcome to TV.....and the lies it tells. Stop watching it and you will be much better off, trust me.

Answer 4

YES they found a Tomb Inscribed Jesus as well as other family members.
NO BONES were in it.

Funny thing, according to the bible, he WAS burried in a tomb... he just didn't stay there. The findings support christianity imho.
Also, if jesus was married to Mary magdaline, it dos not contradict the bible. I dont know why people get soo upset about that idea? Jesus was suitable to save us from sin because he was without sin... last time I checked Marriage is not a sin. Actually its holy in the eyes of God.

Answer 5

The subject is still up for debate. Their arguement falls down to four very basic points that critics are all too quick to dismiss. Each person should look at the evidence for themselves and not be fooled simply because a person claims to be an expert.

Answer 6

They discovered a tomb which has the name of jesus along with his family members in the same place. the odds of these were calculated to be 600 to 1.

Answer 7

Sorry, you Pretty Avatar you!
I gotta Speak Up on That one.
It is False.
Jesus Took HIS Body with HIM up to Heaven.
HIS Body had been Glorified too.
Ours will too, If you Believe Who Jesus Said HE was, and Ask HIM to Save ya.

Hey, do you Know what a Glorified Human Being Body is Capable of?
Give ya one of them: it can Walk through Walls.

o.k. You force me, Two of them: Transend the Universe at the Speed of Thought! (through the Holy Spirit--operating in the Kingdom of GOD--the Kingdom of GOD is Inside of you and Outside of You).
Nuff Said.
It's a Gonna be Fun ain't it!
Ditto........................

Answer 8

No, no. Just another book and movie on the way. There are millions of dollars involved. The love of money is the root of evil.
It is a hoax, and it will eventually come to the surface like all the rest.

Answer 9

First, let's get some facts behind this media campaign for a tv show.
http://www.y-zine.com/yJesus.htm?gclid=CM3brbyNz4oCFSQkGAodFFlcfw

Then read what the Bible has to say...
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Understand that they are just doing this for free advertising. They have very little historic or archeologic backing for this. It's the Emperors new clothes--summer wear.

Answer 10

Utter nonsense. What they discovered was the pocketbooks of gullible people who will buy anything to excuse them from submitting to God's rightful claims on their life.

Answer 11

some people believe they may have found christs bones but then again there is no way to prove it for sure at this time. tests have to be run and in the end the best they will get is, these may be the bones of jesus christ.
