A show I watched about the 'box' indicated that 10% of males were named 'Jesus.' I wonder how many religious prophits there were named Jesus at that time and if several of them may have become one when the new testiment was created.

Someone wasn't paying attention around Easter and Christmas. The official Catholic doctrine is that Jesus never had brothers or sisters and that Mary was a virgin her whole life (this, of course, ignores the passages which explicitly state that Jesus had brothers and sisters, but Catholics aren't renowned for their knowledge of Scripture). Ask any Catholic priest.

The last lines of that article state that ossuaries were usually only given to those of high status, it should have been a warning sign when they found the name of a carpenter's son on the thing they would at least have gotten a clue.

That's true, but it raises the question of who the mother was.

I think they figured that if it's Jesus' brother, that gives him some high status. Supposedly.

Is the slander really necessary? You could just insult them straight out if absolutely cannot help it.

This is Rule #1 of ASVS when dealing with pure trolls like Edinburger 666.

Go read Enigmas replies to Edinburger :lol:

You apparently are not a fan of the Joseph Goebbels school

Chookie and his ilk.

I've looked at some of his recent posts there, I can't see any where he's laughing at us. Do you mind pointing them out?

In any case, isn't it rather juvenile to get upset because you think he's laughing at you? Please tell me you have a thicker skin than that.

Kitsune had the same idea I did. There were many people named Jesus
back then. Even if this box had not been messed with, and a guy named
James, brother of a guy named Jesus was in it, this would in no way
prove or disprove anything about the Christian religion stories.
It would just be a burial box. Big whoop.
