Our faith will be tested? ‘The Tomb of Jesus’ will we survive?

Question

On Sunday March 4th 2007 they will be broadcasting the long awaited controversial subject/find of “The Tomb of Jesus”.

Let’s set ALL arguments aside for now and let’s watch and try and find any discrepancies that might arise from this film. Let’s not JUDGE lest we be judged, Let’s allow ourselves the pleasure of watching this film. Should be entertaining.
I need ALL CHRISTIAN’S help here. For some reason, some time ago a friend showed me a prayer and when she showed it to me it was as if I needed IT in my possession and my friend said that I had to give it back, so what I did I transcribed it on a piece of paper and kept it in my possession over the years, not knowing that eventually this prayer needed to come to LIGHT. Following is the prayer that I copied word for word without changes.

“This prayer was found in fiftieth year (0050) of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505, it was sent from the Pope the Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them: neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle.

Prayer to St-Joseph

Oh! St. Joseph whose protections is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests & desires. Oh! St-Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain, for me from your divine son all spiritual blessings, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh! St-Joseph I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms: I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St-Joseph Patron of departing souls – Pray for me.
If we all say it with FAITH and keep it nears us in the coming days we can only be victorious in our battle towards the TRUTH.

God Bless ALL.

Light a candle so that his TRUTH his LIGHT will shine upon us all.

Answer 1

First of all we need not get too worried about this event. This is just a publicity stunt by James Cameron. Even for Titanic he blew the whole thing about the finding of the sunken ship before he released the movie. James Cameron is now just an ordinary flimmaker and way past his prime. His so called broadcast will fade away just like the 'Da Vinci code'.
Please do not concern yourself too much about this. We have the living word - The Bible with us and nothing can take the truth away.

Answer 2

Filmmaker James Cameron is claiming he and some archeologists found the tomb of Jesus’s family. All the casket-like things called ossuaries are empty. I wonder what the archeologists were thinking when they found an ossuary with Jesus’s name on it. I can imagine the moment they removed the lid and looked in. If it were me, I’d wonder if I was going to see one of the following:

1. Nothing
2. Decomposed stuff
3. Jesus sitting up and saying, “What in Dad’s name took you so long?”

If you put an ordinary guy in an ossuary for 2,000 years, he’d clearly be dead. But if I were opening that ossuary I’d be wondering if maybe someone put Jesus in there after he died but before he arose. And maybe it’s hard to get out once you get in. I’d be worried that Jesus arose inside the stone box, and he’d be totally pissed that no one let him out until now.

I realize that this would not be the most rational worry in the world. But I like to base my worries on an expected value calculation. So for example, a 90% chance of getting a sliver would worry me about the same as a .000001% chance of a nuclear bomb going off in the backyard. In this ossuary example, I’d be looking at maybe a 2% chance of waking up an angry Jesus. I say that’s worth a worry.

If Jesus was in there, and sat up when I took the lid off, I’d first try to judge how angry he looked. If he had that money-changers-in-the-temple look, I’d go with a joke, like “Ha ha! Turn the other cheek!” Or maybe I’d try to explain to him that the extra suffering was extra good for humanity, and after all, that’s his job. Then I’d say, “Hey, I don’t like my job either, but you don’t see me complaining all the time.”

I know that some of you will say that if Jesus could move that big rock that was allegedly in front of his tomb in the traditional telling of his life, he’d have no trouble removing an ossuary lid. But he wasn’t supposed to be in an ossuary in the first place, so obviously if this ossuary is genuine, some of the details of the story were wrong. And if God let Jesus be crucified, it’s not a huge stretch of the imagination to think he’d let him stay in a stone box for 2,000 years. It makes sense to save your coolest miracle for when it’s needed most. And I think you’ll agree that this would be a good time for a messiah. And if you were God, you’d want James Cameron attached to this production. So it makes sense to me.

That’s why I’d be a crappy archeologist. I’d be afraid to open anything.

Answer 3

what did the prayer say.
