What do you think about Jesus Chirst having a son?

Question

It's all over the news this morning. Do you really think they found DNA from Jesus, what about what Roman Catholisizm and what the Vatican teaches.....I find this so hard to take.

Answer 1

Chill out cos it don't matter. The reason it don't matter is because his son's last name wasn't Christ. That's because his last name wasn't Christ. So he can (or could have) had all the little Jesus boys and girls he wanted.

It's a bit ironic that the Catholic Church is so concerned about that one though, because of their denial about their other problems. (You know, the little Beastly Priestly boys and girls).

Regards,

Chris

Answer 2

hahah that is the biggest load of BS in the century. it is common sense. did you know that the people that found the tomb were charged with fraud 15 years ago. these are the people who claimed that jesus never exsitsted. now they say that he exists but he has a son. and if the christians (and catholics) were going to start a major religion, i think that they wouold get the facts right, not wrong. And the tomb dosnt say "jesus" on the tomb, it is "joshua" the names were pretty similiar, but both were common. They found some random tomb with similar names. some poeple are idiiots. they didnt even find dna, they found bones. bones who they claim to be jesus. there are so man yproblems with the little claim

Answer 3

As far as Jesus being celibate or having kids...some people believe Jesus was an Essene, a sect within Judaism that included celibacy. So he very well could have been a Jew with no kids.

Though if he weren't an Essene, it would be odd for him to be roaming around with no wife or kids and just an entourage of like-minded guys. If he WERE an Essene, the story would make more sense.

But if he were an Essene, it's in those years nobody talks about from 12 to about 30. He could have been initiated into that sect during that time.

People have said that his teachings sound awfully like Essene teachings.

It would explain a lot.

Answer 4

I can smell the brimstone all over this one.
How in the heck could anyone have "found" DNA from Jesus? Ridiculous!
I can hear demonic laughter as gullible people who have already bought into "The Da Vinci Code" which even Mr. Brown admits is FICTION...btw, that means "made up"...now believe this nonsense about Jesus and his wife being "dug up" in Jerusalem.

It's totally false. Don't give it another thought.

Answer 5

I think that yes, Jesus was married and yes, he could have a child. I strongly hope that it's true because it would strengthen my trust in him and his teachings because it would mean that he lived the same things that we do and felt the same things too. I thought that Jesus was 'sent' to live as a man... I hope it meant the good things as well as the bad ones. I hope he experienced the love of a women and the joy of being a father and it doesn't alter my beliefs AT ALL.

Answer 6

No,He did not have one,He did not have a wife,they have not found His bones,they have not found His tomb,or the burial places of His family.
Critics,both Christian and non-Christian,are tearing the film apart in a big way,for quite a few reasons.

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 7

As far as i now God had a son name Jesus to come and save the world from their sins no where in bible does it state that Jesus had a son and if so someone needs to show me that sometimes you have to think on your own before trusting someone else word. those bones are so old it would take a lot of proof to make that claim it could be someone else bones. just trust in him and don't worry about other things

Answer 8

He does not. This is a giant retarded rumor. They are liars. Jesus did not, I repeat did NOT have a son, wife, significant other, daughter, or anything like that.

For one thing, how would they know that it is Jesus' DNA??? They have absolutely no way to prove it. It could be any random persons DNA. They didn't have blood tests back them, I doubt that they even knew about DNA back then so it's not like His DNA is on record. There is no way to prove that it's His. And even if it was in any way related to His DNA, it doesn't mean that it was His son. People forget that Mary had more children after she gave birth to Jesus.

Answer 9

You must learn to ask why the source of the subjective text you are rteading is, that goes for your dodgy newspaper article as well as the bible, or Dan Browns nice little work of fiction, the Da Vinci Code.

Just because some idiot writes something, and another idiot prints it - does not make it so.

Answer 10

I think that jesus had several children.

Why wouldn't he have? He was a normal, Jewish man,
He would have been an oddball at the time if he were unmarried,
like other men of his time, he was probably married off at the age of about 16 or 17.

Since this time frame is purposely not meantioned in the bible, 20+ years of Jesus' life is not in the bible, he was most probably raising a family, and perhaps even traveled to the orient.

Answer 11

You can slap a science sticker on anything and people will believe it. Where in the world would anyone get dna from Christ? Did they have the forethought to prepare a sample of his tissue before they buried Him? Just when you think things couldn't get more ridiculous!
