Givent that in secular circles, the existence of Jesus is questioned...one wonders exactly how on earth any tomb can be traced to Jesus himself; there's simply no baseline to even consider this seriously. It's all pseudo-science at that point. The name link is there...but that's weak, not to mention an easy hoax (and that's something that can't be ruled out).
Run the DNA test...what does it prove? Interrelations among the dead...sure...and then? All that will result is more speculation; theories. We don't have artifacts that trace back to Jesus that we can independently verify. If the vatican had a strand of hair, for example...then it would be most interesting to see if there would be a match. But we don't have anything.
But not at all impossible. Some nerdy statistician already worked out the probability to be like 1 in 600...that's not that bad....hardly impossible...
i thought it was more than that.
really how many other such combo of names have they found? in those inter relationships, that date back to that era.
Now note that years and years later it is more possible but rigt then, the same generation? I dont think so.
for all the people who loved the prophet we have no accounts of anyone in his life who named himself after the fathr of the prophet named his child the same as the prophet and had a grandchild of the same name as the prophet's daughters, etc.
I have seen several documentaries in my lifetime due to my interest in archeology and egyptology and they are skewed. Do your research before believing what they suggest.
If you believed most documentaries held on the discovery channel, history channel, or TLC and the like, the religions that you would be most inclined to are two, which I wont name here. Think about that for a moment.
And no, I dont buy that the person in the tomb is Isa(AS). Never will.
Consider the theory of evolution, have most people given up their faith due to it? I dont believe so.
Thank you munni, but the thread started with the 'assumption' that this was true, and then discussing the implications of that based on the assumption that this was true. You may have missed that.
Hahaha.
Mr. Fraudia, all this, its just to misguide us. Its all a test of our faith. Thats all.
There is SO much to our religion, thats a mystery. Yet we believe and we live it.
Dr.Zakir Naik did an episode on this, called "Was Christ Crucified"
I don't clearly remember how he actually came to the conclusion of the debate, but if you want, i could watch it and fill you in on it. If, it helps.
Rest assured, i don't quote what i'm not crystal clear about.
please refer to post #63. The basic premise of this thread was on an assumption, i.e. if this was true, then what would the implications be. This is not a thread where we are discussing whether or not this is true :)
