WOW!!! Discovery Channel Proves Jesus False & Phony...?

Question

..what about those bones???

Answer 1

*headdesk*
No,they have not proved a thing.That film has so many problems,that non-Christians,as well as Christians,are ripping it a part.

The most popular names in that era for males were:
Simon
Joseph
Eleazar
Judah
John
Jesus
Hananiah
Jonathan
Matthew
Manaen/Menahem
The most popular female names for that era were:
Mary/Mariamne
Salome
Shelamzion
Martha

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!Allthe DNA proves,is that the ones in the tomb were related!

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 2

I glanced at the responses and it's true that most understand the show was a farce, but it makes you wonder why they would bother going to all that expense when all the experts say it's a bunch of bunk.

I read where even the archaeologist in on the dig said the movie was a big bunch of made up sensationalism.

So now Discovery Channel loses a few million more viewers and I doubt anyone will ever see a James Cameron movie again. He did do a great job of Terminator, but perhaps he should stick to the science fiction. He's better at it.

Answer 3

Sorry, but this comes out every Lenten season.
The man that made the original archeological discovery in 1980 says that the movie and the producer of the movie are out to make money.

The bones are not connected to Jesus, we have no way to test for Jesus' DNA. The DNA of the bones found there may well be related to each other, but not to Jesus.

The movie is just a movie. The producer had an agenda to prove when he began, and the archeology gave him a chance to voice his opinion.

He, the movie, and Discovery are wrong.

Answer 4

there is data that the tomb were disturbed and vandalized. The "lost Tomb of Jesus" documentary advocates the concept Jesus' disciples stole His body from the tomb, and then buried it in His relations tomb. If the disciples were going to scouse borrow Jesus' body in an attempt to argue for a resurrection, why might want to they then bury Jesus' body in His own relations's tomb, or perhaps inscribe Jesus' call on His ossuary? that does no longer make any sense in any respect. If the disciples had to faux a resurrection, the perfect ingredient they could do might want to be to bury Jesus in His relations tomb (which human beings might want to easily study) and write Jesus' call on His ossuary (providing elementary data that Jesus replaced into no longer resurrected). with out even pondering the data for the resurrection of Jesus, the recent testomony account paints an fullyyt distinct account of Jesus, His relations, and His burial.
