In 2003, the osuarry that bore 'John brother of Jesus" was declared by the Israel archaelogical and scientific authorities as an absolute forgery designed to prey on those that wished so hard to prove Jesus Christ really existed physically. .

None at all, not a scrap, not a shred, bugger all..
The only reason Christianity didn't just remain a cult and fade away, is Constantine converted to Christianity on his death-bed, and the Church seized power, and the 60 murderous years that followed was how the Christian religion gained so much power..
It is the biggest con job on the planet, and the blind sheep that follow this false God know nothing about their religion's history, just what the Priests etc tell them, Baaa, Baaa Baaa, brainwashed all of them...
Even their Bible, what a joke, bastardised by Kings, scribes, Popes, Bishops, how they can believe such claptrap is beyond me..
Blessings.. )O(

Since Medieval times various objects have been venerated as the Spear of Longinus, pieces of the True Cross, the Shroud and even the cup at the Last Supper. Given its connection to Rome most of these have ended up in the possession of the Catholic Church, which also claims an inerrancy many of us have problems with.
These modern "seekers" are definitely successors to those who followed the Cult of the Relics, but with a particularly depressing twist. In the old days, people were willing to accept that a Savior could Rise from the dead and be Translated Bodily to Heaven. They also understood what most modern "seekers" have not which was that it was very unlikely anything but relics would survive of a man of his background -- they didn't have his body long enough to put it in an osuary, so this alleged "proof" you mentioned would have been a contradiction of the Gospel. It is only relatively recently that Humanity has been able to afford the kind of record keeping we take for granted (except in China) and the idea of "proving" even the existence of someone like Aristotle through physical evidence is somewhat absurd.
I believe Christ told Satan, "It is written: 'thou shalt not tempt the Lord, Thy God.'". That's what this search for proof is. Maybe some of the relics are actually survivals from His lifetime. As such they would be physical proof for His existence. In our fallen state, with our history, we cannot establish this beyond the shadow of a doubt. And shouldn't pay attention to the idiots who think we can.

Wow. At last a question about Jesus that is filed under the proper category!
Anyway, a friend of mine was in the hospital a while back and her meal tray had a little printed card on it "Prepared by..." with a blank to be filled in and it was signed "Jesus" so I am sure this is proof enough. She saved it somewhere and I will be glad to ask her to dig it up for you if you want.

Sure, there might have been some dude called Jesus performing magic tricks in Israel, but whether he was son of God is another question.

There's no evidence of his physical remains, and even if archaeologists found something that "could" have been Jesus they have no way to prove it was him. I don't think we (humanity) were meant to find any such thing. Jesus, it would appear, is meant to be known by faith. Let's hope there are many with faith...

no but if he existed or not, jesus has no power over anyone. im not religious, was jesus a carpenter or something, i have heard that before and am not sure. if so, why didn't he grab a hammer and get those nails right out and get off the cross.

Well am a national geographic and history channel fan, most of the evidence that people have found are in text form and no one has yet found his remains.

Even though i dont have physical evidence of Jesus i have spiritual evidence of Jesus existence. There were a lot of times during my darkest time that my prayers were answered.
I absolutely definitely believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. God Bless, I wish you peace and happiness.
I honestly hope that you also accept Jesus Christ in your heart.

Even if there is "evidence", the doctrines have all been edited so much the truth is distorted by man.
It will take science's best work to solve the problems.
