      The DNA testing wasnt done to determine the bones were from Jesus the DNA testing were done to see if each set of bones was family. The tomb marked "Jesus" and the tomb marked "Mary Magdalene" were found by DNA testing to not be related, which could only mean they were husband and wife as they were buried in the same tomb.

        I wasn't saying that to you.

        I was talking to DorkJedi.... he heard someone speak of it once upon a time and poked his nose in here all high and mighty like he knew the secrets of the universe.

          "Another attack on Christianity that won't prove to be true. Hollywood just wants to get rid of Christianity because they all love drugs, 12-year-old whores and getting drunk all the time and living a gay lifestyle"

                  See Stu, this is much like the last thread where I apologized: one person can read the exact same words but interpret them differently than another. And it really is quite fascinating when you put it into perspective that it's been happening since the written word has existed.
                  Your post count means nothing.

                    Actually its StuartDs fault that I read that wrong, he quoted us out of order, in order to express what he wanted to express Stuart should have quoted DarkJedi first THEN my comment which was in response to DarkJedis comment... instead he quoted DarkJedi after my comment which made it seem like DarkJedi was answering me and StuartD agreeing with him.

                      If the DNA from the Shroud and the newfound bones match, it most probably is Jesus.

                              facts:

                              Paul and the writers of all four canonical Gospels described the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, as they understood it had happened. There is a acknowledged consensus among academic Christian theologians that:

                              * The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were not written by Jesus' disciples but by a person or persons whose names are unknown.

                              * Neither Paul nor any of the Gospel writers had been an eyewitness to Jesus' ministry or death.

                              * The Gospels record the beliefs and memories of various Christian groups as they had evolved at the time they were written.

                              ____________

                              There is no reference to Jesus' death having any redeeming function; in fact, there is no mention of the crucifixion at all. John E. Remsburg's The Christ: A Critical Review and Analysis of the Evidence of His Existence, lists the following writers who lived during the time, or within a century after the time, that Jesus is supposed to have lived:

                              * Josephus
                              * Philo-Judææus
                              * Seneca
                              * Pliny Elder
                              * Arrian
                              * Petronius
                              * Dion Pruseus
                              * Paterculus
                              * Suetonius
                              * Juvenal
                              * Martial
                              * Persius
                              * Plutarch
                              * Pliny Younger



                              * Tacitus
                              * Justus of Tiberius
                              * Apollonius
                              * Quintilian
                              * Lucanus
                              * Epictetus
                              * Hermogones Silius Italicus
                              * Statius
                              * Ptolemy
                              * Appian
                              * Phlegon
                              * Phæædrus
                              * Valerius Maximus
                              * Lucian



                              * Pausanias
                              * Florus Lucius
                              * Quintius Curtius
                              * Aulus Gellius
                              * Dio Chrysostom
                              * Columella
                              * Valerius Flaccus
                              * Damis
                              * Favorinus
                              * Lysias
                              * Pomponius Mela
                              * Appion of Alexandria
                              * Theon of Smyrna

                              Enough of the writings of the authors named in the foregoing list remains to form a library. Yet in this mass of Jewish and Pagan literature, according to Remsburg, "aside from two forged passages in the works of a Jewish author, and two disputed passages in the works of Roman writers, there is to be found no mention of Jesus Christ." Nor, do any of these authors make note of the Disciples or Apostles --

                                Easiest way to tell the shroud is fake... cover your face in paint then when the paint is still wet take a white sheet and wrap your head in it. Then remove the white sheet. What does the paint on the sheet look like? It is distorted and stretched out from ear to ear almost doubling the width of your face. The same thing would have happened to the shroud if Jesus had burnt his image into it.


                                Simple surface area problem.

                                next....

                                    Jesus is obviously the greatest conspiracy in history. You are right he never existed, please tell the billions of muslims, christians, jews, as well as hundreds of thousands of scholars, scientists, archaeologists they are all wrong because a man named Jesus lived 2000 years ago.

                                    Please cite your source so I can rape it thanks.

                                            Did he mean that literally? I wasn't to sure if Jesus wanted his followers to be cannibals or not.

                                              The church will never allow this to be completely proven, and give it a shroud of question, and say " God works in mysterious ways."

                                                really hard to prove..
                                                and if they can prove it, ppl will still believing in Jesus..

                                                      I saw Jesus on my toast, so I showed it to my gardner, and he said something like "dios mios", farted, and passed out.

                                                                          "Weak people"? Its "weak" to have faith in something? So if you have faith in yourself you are "weak"? Sure the "weak" minded can be influenced but surely you are not arguing that every single person who believes in some form of "faith" weak minded?

                                                                                while i have my doubts that this supposed find can be proven definitively one way or the other, it would be such a boon to mankind to have the entire sham of the resurrection exposed as the fairy tale it, and most all religious mythos are..
