Answer 1

just another one of Satan's tricks. I myself am just going to sit back and watch how many people buy into to it. and if there are alot, then hey, Satan really needs a pat on the back for doing a job well done

Answer 2

(1)Do you believe, that that is the bones of Jesus?

-- My estimate of the odds are that it is likely they are the bones of Jesus but the odds are less than the 600 to 1 presented in the show. My problem with the odds calculation is that it didn't take into account selection effects such as the fact no other brothers were identified. You have to consider all the things not found as well as the ones that were. After doing so the odds become smaller although still significant.

2)If they are really the Bones of Jesus of the Bible, how will this effect your Faith?
-- I am an atheist so I have no faith or stake in the matter. I base my beliefs only on evidence not on faith ( belief without evidence )

3)Did finding Jesus, strengthen your faith, or did it destroy it?
-- It didn't change anything since I had no faith to begin with.

4)Why is the bodily resurection so important, why cant it have been a spiritual one?

--- The bodily resurrection was manufactured by the church for their own political purposes. At the time they were competing with other christian groups such as the ebionites who did not believe Jesus was resurected or that he had a virgin birth.

Answer 3

Its rather debatable. From what I comprehend, they stumbled on a tomb with the names, Jesus, Mary, and Judah son of Jesus in it. ok i stumbled on some extra information on it. it style of feels there are some experts and cons: professional: The names interior the tomb have been Joseph, Mary, Jesus son of Joseph, and Jonah son of Jesus. Cons: those have been very easy names on the time. professional: Its a six hundred-a million danger that those easy names might take place to look interior an analogous tomb, because of fact an analogous kin. Cons: it somewhat is assumed uncertain Jesus's kin ought to handle to pay for a tomb

Answer 4

I didn't know about this. But, what strengthens my faith in the Lord is His ever-living Word, the Holy Spirit dwelling within me, and seeing how He executes His promises in this life He has given me as well as the lives of others. If things that are supposedly "discovered" don't match up with God's Word, then it is a lie. This sounds like it doesn't match up with God's Word. Check this out: Luke 24:12 - "But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened."
The preceding bible verse takes place after Jesus was resurrected. As we see, there was nothing but linen in the tomb. No bones, no body, no bones........
God bless you in Jesus' name. John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

Answer 5

1. No I do not

2. It wouldn't affect my faith because my faith was the size of a mustard seed when I first considered Jesus and it was the acts of Jesus in my life that gave me the faith I have now.

3. Jesus, after he found me, strengthen my faith by revealing himself to me over and over. By healing my body and answering prayers that I had forgotten I ever even prayed.

4. The Bible says that when Mary Magdalene went to visit the tomb of Jesus that his body was gone. Jesus had risen from the dead. Really the bodily resurrection isn't even that important to me. I couldn't deny Jesus anyway just because the miracles that have taken place in my life.

Answer 6

1) no

2) the reality would be impossible to prove. There is no way to "prove" that they were Jesus's bones.

3) For me, no change. If this helps Jews to accept that Jesus did live, this is a blessing, the Spirit of God will take over, the possibility for them to learn more makes it worth while.

4) The love of God for his people as taught by Jesus is important. I also believe he rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, and is with us to this day. His life transcended that of mortal man.

Answer 7

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 8

The bones are not from Jesus The Christ. They cannot have DNA from The Son of God to compare with the DNA found in the tomb. My faith is very strong and always will be. The bodily resurrection is important because it shows that Jesus is alive and defied death so that we all may have life everlasting, if we believe in Him.

I'm actually glad that this documentary was made, for whatever reason. At least people are now admitting Jesus existed! Maybe instead of turning people away from God, more will come to Him.

May God Bless you.

Answer 9

First off, the show was incredibly boring. It seemed to have about 20 minutes worth of material to stretch into two hours.

Interesting how they only found scientists who would accept their conclusions. No skeptics or alternative opinions at all, at least in the parts I saw. It all had a “forced conclusion” about it, rather like an Al Gore book. To find people as props to back up your preconceived conclusion is not science.

I knew we were really in trouble when they brought in a statistician to calculate the odds of finding the names together. That’s about when I turned over to The History Channel to watch the program on The Dark Ages. Much more interesting.

Seriously though. It would have been better viewing if they had let the Myth Busters do the program.

How did it affect my Faith? About as much as the cobwebs I was cleaning while watching the program affected my Faith. No, probably less.

Answer 10

It was a very interesting movie. However, too many loose ends exist. The whole "Jacob brother of Jesus" box that turned up and just happened to match the patina of the other boxes...the inscriptions on the sides of the boxes that all looked like they'd been scribbled on by a five year old...the fact that the Jacob box inscriptions have been proven a fake...the dubious interpretation of "Mariamne" as "Mary Magdalene"...and so forth. So to answer your first question, no, I don't think it is legit.

As to the rest of the questions, yes of course if this finding is proven to be legit, it would be devastating to Christianity. Christianity believes in a physical resurrection - that is one of the core beliefs of all Christian sects.

Answer 11

1. No.
2. For sure they are not.
3. He was not found in those remains or bones, because those are not HIS.
4. Because of justice. Every one loves his body, we take care of it while we live and we love it. It is only proper that GOD give it to us, but in the glorious state. He proved this by resurrecting from the dead and ascending into heaven. We will also follow as HE did.
