Just a thought…

Any son of Jesus would not be born a sinner, thereby “hijacking” the plan of God.

So… any suggestion that Jesus had children is Biblically absurd.

There is one thing all must remember that Christians do not base their faith only onthe past but present and future. The timeless truth of the words of Jesus are being fulfilled before our eyes even after 2000 years. There is still a promise yet to come found in Acts 1:11 “This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” So fans of James Cameron, ‘No resurrection – No second coming’. Let’s wait for the final proof and not jump to conclusions.

It is so ridiculous of these non-experts, attempting to discredit Christianity, by suggesting that Christ didn’t rise from the dead. Apparently, their only evidence is discovering the names on tombs, which were quite common in the time of Jesus. That “evidence” would make no impression on me. I remember, when I was a child, going to clan gatherings. It was confusing to me, because there were five “Franks” among relations. Also, on a visit to County Clare in Ireland, I came across a grave stone, with my exact name emblazoned on it. I assure everyone, I wasn’t buried there.

Re:Ben Green

I find it little strange Ben that you don’t believe Jesus existed. Science and history both agree that Jesus was a man that walked the earth 2000 years ago, no one debates this. The debate however is whether his claims are true, 1) That he was the Son of God, and 2) That he rose from the dead. I would be interested in your reasons for your view, have you researched this or just thrown this statement out?

Thanks Marius

I have written elsewhere about “proof” and its different meanings. We all get through life without having 100% absolute proof about most things. Having said that, there is a compelling cumulative case for the resurrection. If you are really interested in examining the evidence, I would recommend you look at a few volumes: Gary Habermas and Michael Licona, The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus. Kregel, 2004; Stephen Davis, Risen Indeed. Eerdmans, 1993. There are many more good titles, but these are a good place to begin.

What is more believable. That these ossuaries contained the bones of Jesus and his family or that the bones of Jesus could not possibly exist because he had bodily risen to heaven. Both senarios are a stretch but the latter is the most unlikely, but that doesn’t mean I accept the first possibility either. More proof is required.

I’m always amazed that our so-called intelligent archeologists keep discovering stuff that people living at the time couldn’t. I mean we’re not talking about dinosaur bones here. We’re talking relatively modern history. Christianity was spreading like wildfire and was obviously a threat to the establishment. They couldn’t find a family tomb and refute the claims of the early apostles? They must have been really stupid in those times, or perhaps we’re the stupid ones, to believe such unbelievable claims.

Of course it is nonsense. As we know, Jesus never existed!

I am waiting to see how they are going to retrieve 2000 year old DNA from the remains.

I think even to the logical atheist mind these outlandish claims would be seen as absurd. I doubt any evidence gathered after nearly 2000 years could possibly conclude that a particular body was the historical figure known as Jesus the Christ.

I’m sure James Cameron denies the existence of supernatural miricles – but it seems that he is asking us to believe a big one here. I think James Cameron is trying to re-dig the well of gold abandoned by the Da Vinci code.
