A geologist in Jerusalem claims to have found “virtually unequivocal evidence” that could reopen the controversy over the final resting place of Jesus Christ.
Dr Aryeh Shimron says he has carried out new tests that suggest it is more likely the Talpiot Tomb, a burial site found in East Jerusalem in 1980, was a family grave for Jesus of Nazareth, his wife Mary Magdalene and his son Judah

That’s significant because the Aramaic inscription on the 10th ossuary reads “James son of Joseph brother of Jesus” – adding weight to the suggestions that the names are those of Jesus Christ and his family.
“The evidence is beyond what I expected,” Dr Shimron said. “I think I’ve got really powerful, virtually unequivocal evidence that the James ossuary spent most of its lifetime, or death time, in the Talpiot Tomb.”
The geochemical tests, carried out under Dr Shimron’s supervision largely by the Israel Antiquities Authority, worked on the basis that the ossuaries in the Talpiot Tomb were all once covered by the same clay with a very distinctive mineral make-up.

Wow! Stunning....If this is reviewed, and verified, what, and how do you see this effecting Christianity? Especially considering the open attack it is under today?
Except Jesus doesn't have a "final resting place"

What if this ends up proving he did?

Greetings, F&L. :2wave:
It's not on this earth, so I was taught in Sunday School. He left this for something far better, but look at what he had to go through to attain it! How many "Gods" that were worshipped in ancient Rome or Egypt or anywhere else proved their love by dying for their worshipers? None immediately come to mind.

there isn't going to be "proof"
Throughout history there have been hundreds of not thousands of claims from various disciplines, but even if he finds remains, how can he "prove" they were those of the Messiah? DNA?
Proof that he was human and not Divine? Like many thought back then too...
Please prove He wasn't. It's the atheists quest is it not? Not satisfied to believe something, but militant in trying to convince others there is no God.
I don't care if you don't believe, what drives such hate that you have to force others not to believe.
And many, more than any other faith contend He still is.
Reply if you like, I won't respond....this is very boring and childish.
Without the resurrection then Christianity really doesnt have a leg to stand on. But then again Jesus and James were common names back then so it could be anyone even if the tomb is verified. The best way to prove Christianity is to find Lazarus.What if this ends up proving he did?

There is no attack on Christianity, especially in the West. To say so is delusional.
If we don't all live by their values, we're attacking them. Don't you get it?

The key word in this sentence is if. :roll:
If your aunt was a man then s/he would be your auncle, eh? :lamo
Nor does He have a wife and sonExcept Jesus doesn't have a "final resting place"
I do not really see how it could affect Christianity one way or the other.
