The "Bones" of Jesus?

Question

Some idiot popped up and claimed that he has found the "bones" of Jesus Christ.

Jesus resurrected from the dead! Mary went to the tomb and could not find His body. ( None of it ) She spoke with an angel, begging him to show her where Jesus was. That meant the body was completely gone. Bones and everything. That totally disputes this idiotic persons claims.

What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

..."they" can't even deside where to burry Anna-Nicole-Smith yet (and they have the body)... Jesus and His bones are in Heaven.
Let the Idiots have their fun... My God is bigger then these Idiots.

Answer 2

The discovery of the so-called bones of Jesus Christ and his family is just another crude attempt to discredit Christianity. To prove that the bones are those of Jesus you need a tissue or blood sample of the Biblical Jesus. Since there is nothing to compare it with, everything will just be conjecture and theory.

No one will benefit from this exercise except those who are behind this story. It is a business venture that will make millions just like the DaVinci Code. In fact, all these hoopla is just to promote the movie "The Decoders." This movie will be probably be another attack on the person of Jesus Christ - His divinity, resurrection, ascension, etc.

Amos Kloner, the Israeli archaeologist who wrote the original excavation report called the claim "nonsense." Kloner noted that Jesus was from Galilee and had no ties in Jerusalem. He added that the names found in the burial site were common during the time of Jesus. He also said the tomb belonged to a middle or upper-middle-class family during the the first century and that the cave had been vandalized. Commenting on the documentary Kloner said, "It is a beautiful story without any proof whatsoever."
Peace and every blessing!

Answer 3

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.

- If Jesus had remained in the tomb, first-century opponents of Christianity would most certainly have found His body and put it on public display.

- 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.

Kind of sad to see that all it takes is a press conference for folks to form life-altering opinions versus taking the time to rationally examine all the issues and dig a little deeper. It is the Macdonald's generation: fast, superficial, and never satisfying.

Answer 4

If you found Jesus' bones, it doesn't mean that he wasn't resurrected.

After resurrection, he appeared to the disciples. He told Mary not to touch him because he had not yet ascended to Heaven. Perhaps the ascension was spiritual and He left the body here.

It is possible that the family bones were "reunited" many years later by the followers who wanted to have one place to go to show their respect.

Answer 5

MY view is that
A) by most evidence and accounts so far there are no historical matchings so those bones probably do not belong to "The" Jesus.

B) if true while having faith is good, god creates miracles and all that. There are too many things we dont know but we left up to people trying to promote their religeon to know the real whole truth. So my thoughts are wait and see. If you dont find out in life then take a look in heavan and find out.

Answer 6

Your question, in a way, demonstrates why this "discovery" is completely irrelevant. One side can say "this is Jesus so the Bible isn't true"; the other can say "the Bible is true so this is not Jesus". The fact of the matter is that no one can prove anything either way Regardless of who those bones in that box belong to, no one is going to change their mind with regards to their belief of non-belief in Christianity.

Answer 7

This is just and will be a commercial propaganda. An excuse orchestra in later stage to sell a movie!
Well good brain will not believe this unless some stupid bigot with lower IQ wil be influenced.

Answer 8

Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved, "Believe" is the Key word.
Don't ever pay any attention to people who say anything that is opposite of what the Bible says.

Answer 9

Those who will be drawn away, will be drawn away. There's no stopping Satan because he has very little time left to do whatever he wants to do before Christ comes again.


You cannot just dig out some coffins and claim them to belong to this or that person just based on its inscriptions especially since they are such popular figures during the time. If there is a coffin bearing Rowan Atkinson's name under the sphinx does it mean Rowan Atkinson is Egyptian? We know because we know and not because someone told us so.

John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Acts 2: 22"Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25David said about him:
" 'I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will live in hope,
27because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
28You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.'[e]

29"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ,[f] that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. 32God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. 33Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. 34For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
" 'The Lord said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
35until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet." '[g]

36"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."

37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."


There are hundreds if not thousands of witnesses to Jesus' death on the cross and his resurrection, what is this 'discovery' compared to what multitude of witnesses we have.

Answer 10

Jesus' body was consumed by God, otherwise the sacrifice would be meaningless.
