It's amazing that scientist can dig some bones up and tell everyone that these are the bones of Jesus.Whats even more amazing is that people will believe it.We have millions of dead bodies in morgues today that are only a few months old and can't be identified.Jesus was crucified over 2000 years ago and they can identify Him.What a joke.Next thing you know all of you will believe that you came from monkeys

Christians do not say that. Your assumptions are incorrect.
John Cameron is pandering to the public and his "discovery" 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.

Jesus' Bones is referring to a documentary film by James Cameron (Titanic movie) in which he shows bones of a family in a tomb in Jerulsalem with the names Jesus, Joseph and Mary inscribed upon them. It is a bogus claim.
Roman Catholics beleive that saints do not rot and that they give off a sweet odor.

Jesus' bones dont exist. His heavenly Father, Jehovah God, made sure nothing was left so that his remains could not be used as an icon and perennially worshipped.
(1 Corinthians 15:50) However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

Jesus ascended into heaven body and soul. There is no way those bones belong to Jesus. And yes there are some saints whose body remain incorrupt.
God bless,

Jesus didn`t leave any bones !!...** Luke 24 : 2 -3 .. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in , and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. **... In laymans` terms , you can`t find bones of someone who is not dead !!

I don't know many people who believe that (or any for that matter), but there's an entirely different reason why I'm sure that those aren't Jesus' bones.

The thigh bone is connected to the knee bone - the knee bone is connected to the shin bone - the shin bone is connected to the ankle bone - the ankle bone is connected to the foot bone - the foot bone is connected to the toe bone. Enough explanation on the bones ?

Jesus bones are actually the missing link all these suckers have been screaming for.
