Tomb of Jesus and his son found

[_Jersey Girl]

(Impossible) If there were some way to prove it was the Jesus of the Bible (which there is no way) the proof automatically disproves the Bible. Hello? Anybody home?

Jersey Girl

that's kind of the point.

What part of my comments are you referring to, Nortoriuswun? Which is kind of the point?

Jersey Girl

The point is that the much-interpreted Biblical Jesus would be refuted (if the claims are true). It would also indicate that he had a mortal death, and that he was just a prophet (a belief exhibited by many early Christians...up until Constantine and his revelation on the battlefield)

I don't think there is a person alive who questions whether JC lived, rather THE question is one of divinity...or lack thereof.

Yes I get that but, NoTORious.....how would you go about proving it's him? Which was kind of my point.

If the DNA in (supposed) Jesus tomb = Shroud DNA
Jesus = Prophet, father of mortal children
Joseph Smith = Fraud

Basically the DNA link would confirm that both theories are correct...that the shroud is authentic AND that the tomb is real...unless the shroud came from that other smelly Jesus who lived in Jeruselam.

Back up the truck, Notoriouswun,

Are you talking about the Shroud of Turin? Are you serious?

Let's go from there...

I am not saying it is or isn't a true artifact. What I am saying, is that if both have the same DNA, then both are the same source.

And....how would you go about verifying that the source was Jesus of the Bible?

The answer to the question, Notoriouswun, is "it's impossible".

I think the show will be interesting. At least it should be more interesting that that piece of trash titanic movie.

I wonder whether any of the DNA from this Yeshua bar Yohosef can be linked to the Lamanites or Joseph Smith?

[_Mephitus]

If they linked the DNA from the supposed shroud of turin to the supposed Jesus burial plot, then it would be an open and shut case...and maybe people would finally stop believing in magical zombies.

Also it is worth pointing out that alot of people have dismissed Cameron's findings...and no one has actually watched the documentary yet. Lets not point the finger of blame just yet...a bunch of doubting Thomases if you ask me ;)

the shroud has been debunked for years

I find the whole thing utterly fascinating, as well as peoples' reactions to it....
