What on earth can possibly prove that Cameron's crypt was Jesus of Nazareth's?

[BurtWorm]

This is for all of you who are waiting with bated breath to see if "the Christian world is rocked" by this hypothetical proof. Where could it possibly come from?

[Mind_your_head]

1. As someone said earlier today.....Cameron found his Startek cellphone!

:rofl:

on edit: this is just stupidity waaaaaaaaaaay *beyond belief*....I'm not going to give this subject any dignity by responding to it .....this is my one and only post about it.

Peace,

3. I totally agree with you.

It's embarrassing to see so many people putting their brains on hold over this.

2. The Answer Lies in . . . FAITH nt

[Graybeard]

4. DNA? How do you get a cheek swab from God?

...what could DNA possibly prove?

[rwenos]

5. From the St. Clair de Plantard Family

C'mon, didn't you read The DaVinci Code?

Hey, that Sofie was pretty cute. She'd give a cheek swab, I'll bet. Or several other members of the Priory.

[EvilAL]

6. I figured

she'd have bigger tits tho.

8. the single, most important point of that story was..

ommitted from the movie and mirrored by Orwell, I suggest you actually read it.

[rwenos]

9. I've Read Some Orwell, But

I don't catch your intriguing reference.

Could you be a little clearer? What work of Orwell's are you referring to? And to what point?

And I've read The DaVinci Code twice, my kid and I are obsessed with it.

Pray tell.

7. it would make a great sitcom and a movie

come from? the fertile mind of john cameron that`s where

10. There's no way that anything can ever be proven to anyone's satisfaction in such a case.

Really, it's a claim which can never be proven. What are you going to do, look for a DNA match from a descendent? Even if you had the means to find one, the people who believe don't accept the premise.

Personally, I would think that the message is the important thing, not whether or not the messenger died and came back to life three days later. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words aren't less true because he's dead. Yet Jesus being a man who died would completely destroy Christianity?

[BurtWorm]

14. Some people who have faith that Jesus was a man will certainly have faith that these are his bones.

Those who believe Jesus wasn't a man and those who believe he was literally God will almost certainly never be convinced that these are his bones.

PS: The upshot is that this "discovery" will ultimately have little effect on the course of Christianity's future.

11. I'm waiting for them to find the Easter Bunny's lair and Santa's house

on the North Pole.

Than my life will be complete.

12. There's only one man who can solve this mystery of biblical proportions!

Just ask Al Capone.

[varkam]

20. Somehow I knew that picture was going to be Geraldo.

:D

[moggie]

13. Why oh why did it have to be James Cameron?

We'd have been a lot better off if Kevin Smith had been behind this!

15. Well

when the box with James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus box was found no further evidence was required by Christians (including a few on this forum). That proved Jesus beyond any doubt. Of course we now know it was a fraud.

Now that we have 10 boxes and names that match the same people are convinced that it has to be a coincidence.

From that I would say that, for Christians, no amount of evidence, or lack thereof, will have any effect.

The problem as I see it is that if it is true then there are several details that contradict the Bible so how can we then use Bible details to confirm the parts that match?

[BurtWorm]

16. It's not true.

The only people who think this is true are those who like the idea of Jesus as a family man. Which is as much a crock of shit as the idea that Jesus is both God and the Son of God.

17. I suspect as much however I know only the basics at the moment

and won't be making a decision until I see the documentary (not very important) and reading scholarly analysis (very important).

[BurtWorm]

18. I would be very surprised if "scholars" will be able to alter what seems self-evident

i.e, that this is just another false sighting of Jesus.

[cosmik debris]

19. A quote

Carl Sagan: "You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe."

Proof? Who needs it!

[redqueen]

21. It's like the Anna Nicole story for atheists.

:P

22. They could always clone a new Jesus from the DNA.

Oh, heck, why stop there! Clone a whole army! Attack of the Jesus clones!
