What do you think about the Jesus bones thing?

Question

A legitimate concern? Or a well-played joke?

Answer 1

downright scam
every legitimate scholar has denounced their methods and conclusions.

EDIT: They are to real archeology what the people surrounding anna nicole are to lawyers.

Answer 2

Most likely a ****** up tale like the physical resurrection itself. Jesus bones have been located and they will stay where they are until the truth comes out. They aren't anywhere near that casket.

They were used by the Templars to blackmail the popes. The Jolly Roger was the sign of the bones of Jesus and the blackmail.

Answer 3

I think it's a hoax, and somebody's just trying to get everybody all upset. I'm a Christian and if it were true, that would mean that 2,000 years of Christianity was all for nothing and Jesus lied and there's either no hope beyond the grave or there's no afterlife at all, period. I doubt that the bones are actually Jesus', but if they were I'd be really worried.

Answer 4

This will be lost on those who could have brought light to this amazing discovery. It will be covered up and buried like all things that threaten the Catholic Church.
For those in my family who are Christians it does nothing to change their beliefs. For my own Fiance` it would have offered him the proof he has longed for to solidify his faith.
Being a former Catholic I have often wondered about the need for secrets if God is supposed to be an open book so to speak why hide the truth? Simply because it threatens the very foundation of the Catholic Church.

Answer 5

I could care less about it to tell you the truth. I'm an atheist and I think it's interesting but there are alot more reasons to stop being Christian. I found it interesting people jumped on it about not being provable. But they never asked themselves what prove do I have that any of the bibles true? And there were no bones since they were reburied did you even watch the documentary?

Answer 6

The crucifixion of Jesus was unknown among the early church as late as the end of the second century. This was close to 176 years after the church would like us to believe the brutal end of its God occurred. It must be immediately pointed out that the modern church admitted the records of Bishop Irenaues (d.202) created a serious problem. They said of him: “Although of crucial importance in the development of the church’s theology. Irenaeus presents problems of considerable difficulty in regard to details about Jesus Christ”. Irenaeus is fondly described by the church hierarchy as the “depositary of primitive truth”, but he denied a virgin birth, and never mentioned a trial of Jesus Christ, said nothing of a crucifixion or resurrection and claimed Jesus declined towards old age

Answer 7

It's interesting, but I doubt the legitimacy of it because those names were very common during that time period. Even if they happened to be right, there's no way they can actually prove it.

Answer 8

Total bs

Answer 9

not much, the whole hoopla has pretty much been proved to be just rantings designed to make some $s.

Answer 10

Jesus is alive and his spirit is living in me!!!
