Did Judah son of Jesus die when he was a child?

Answer 1

no....Jesus never had a son...

Answer 2

You are probably reacting to the John Cameron press conference and TV show claiming to have found the tomb of Jesus Christ.

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 disappointing to see that all it takes is a press conference and a slick TV show for some 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 3

OMG! So, like, you really believe that some Hollywood type has made a huge discovery?

The ossuaries in question were discovered in 1980 !!!
Do you think that Israel's Ministry of Antiquities would let them sit around for 27 years if they were of vital importance?

Jesus the Christ remained unmarried, and fathered no children.

(Bet you thought the DaVinci Code was non-fiction too?)

Answer 4

Actually, the transcription for "Jesus" might be "Hadal", an entirely different name not being the Hebrew name for Joshua, which is what Jesus is, which the producers of the documentary seemed more than willing to ignore. So who knows if Hadal's child died as a child? There are no dates, and the names are hard to translate, so basically, we have nothing at all.

Answer 5

Judah wasn't the son of Jesus because Jesus didn't have a son... He didn't have any type of relationship (sexually) with anyone to produce offsprings..

Answer 6

Jesus never had a son, nor was he married

Answer 7

nobody knows if the jesus in the box is THE jesus or not, don't put the cart before the horse.

Answer 8

Jesus had no children.

Answer 9

Jesus didnt have a wife or children

Answer 10

Jesus was never married, did not have children. No credible evidence supports this nonsense.
