The Truth is revealing gradually and the final truth is always yet to come. But as things stand to-day, certain aspects of Jesus that he had a lover, that he had a child and that he had brothers and sisters are close to what Muhammad has written about Jesus in the Koran. The fact that he was crucified but later escaped to India where he lived for long and died at the age of 97 and buried there is also in the air. If there is doubt, it can be excavated and the remains in the burial can be subjected to DNA test. But it is unethical to perpetuate a false thing to deify a figure of history and call it faith.
However, it is the converted Christians of India who have proved to be more christian than the Pope in their protests to such findings. The future of the faith called Christianity is endagered by "truth versus blind faith". Truth would always triumph.

Do you mean the "disturbing truths" reported by the same guy who directed the movie Titanic? His thesis is based on burial records found in Israel. He concludes that he has found the remains of Jesus based on the group of names inscribed. And that Jesus was married and had a child.
1. Mr Cameron is a movie director and not an archaelogist or a historian.
The names in question: Jesus, Mary and Joseph (in English) were common names at that time. It would take a leap of faith to believe that the scribbled references in the documentary are talking about the family of Jesus of Nazareth.
Also, the ancient languages are written in shortform the same letters mean Joshua or Jesus for example, so its a stretch to assume that even the names are the same as the characters from the Christian gospels.
The attempt to discredit the church by attacking the "empy tomb" claim of the early church is an old bit. There are no bones to find. He is risen.

"So many" disturbing truths? I'm not sure about that, with respect. The finding of the ostuary allegedly containing the bones of Jesus does not disturb me in the least. Even if those were proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that those are Jesus' bones it would never negate the resurrection. Jesus was resurrected to heavenly life. the scriptures tell us that "flesh&blood cannot inherit God's kingdom. The fact that a fleshly body / bones was found has nothing to do with the power spirit being he is now.

Jesus warned His followers that there was Antichrist in His time and there were more to come. Men were going to disturb the truth to confused even the elects. The gates of Hell will not prevail, Jesus still is the light of the world but men prefer darkness, so come to the light.

The Bible says there will be a great "Falling Away" if that's what happens. I don't feel the end of civilization is near though. I worry about nuclear war more than anything else. As far as the Jesus bones thing, it ought to turn Christianity on it's head but I'm not going to let it pull me away.

The basic message is the same, no matter if differences arise between what is the historic Jesus, and what is the faith based Jesus. If a picture of a historic Jesus arises that doesn't agree with the faith based conception, the message is still there, it is still atrributed to Him, it still offers valuable content to teach, support, and enlighten the spirit.

The Christians shaky on their faith may begin to believe other things, but on the overall Christians know that these things have been prophesied and are watching for more signs to come. Have a great day

We don't know that these are truth.
Once upon a time a MAJOR Natural History museum had a skeleton of a Dinosaur and one day while examining the bones they discovered one belonged to a completely different animal!
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.

I'm not worried about the future of Christianity; alot has been said & done against christians and christianity but it still stands rock solid.
I'm worried about myself and the fellow humans.what is our future; with our shaking and mellow faith?
I pray to Jesus not to leave me and I try my level best to stick to him.
God Bless.
