The bones of Jesus Christ "silliness"


First of all, I think everybody should be able to understand one
logical conception.


If the Almighty exists, he can do what ever he wants. He doesn't
have to do it in any natural manner that man can explain.

This sets up a situation where investigators trying to prove events
in the Bible by the scientific methods, look to find natural causes
to explain some stated supernatural happening.


You have all seen it. Docudramas explaining how all the plagues
happened naturally during Moses' time in Egypt. Or those
investigating Noah's flood uses natural processes to explain why
almost all cultures have a flood story.


I remember reading a book called the Passover Plot, while in
college. The author believed that Jesus and his Apostles conspired
to fulfill the prophecies that came before him so as to fake his way
into being the messiah. Only, according to the author, it all
backfired when Jesus ate extracts of a plant to fake his death and
died for real.


Even as little more than a Child, I could see through that one. The
Prophecies were ancient, going back before Moses, but some were
Characterized in Moses' time by a Lamb without blemish, killed on
the 14th day of Nisan (abib) without a bone being broken. The blood
of this Lamb saved His people in Egypt.

The Jews acted out this for 1500 years until Jesus' time. This Jesus
that John the Baptist spoke about, saying "Behold God's lamb that
takes away the sins of the world", was crucified the same year
prophesied by Daniel. This Jesus was killed the 14th day of Nisan as
the priests were sacrifying their lamb. The whole Congregation, Jews
and Romans was gathered against him. No bone OF His body was broken.
This was the only year possible and yes he was supposed to die to
fulfill this and the many dozens of other predictions.

A man and his disciples could conspire, but they could not make
other people, some dead for hundreds of years before their time as
well as the separate cultures of Roman and Jews, do exactly what it
took to fulfill those predictions.



Now comes the Discovery Channel and the program last night
purporting to have found Jesus' bones and that of his family. It is
always amazing how people find it easier to accept spurious
documents known to be written several hundred years after Christ
rather than eye witness accounts, if they can use it for evidence
supporting their pet theories.


Now listen up every logical person.


A person will ONLY die for something in which he really believes.


If you truly believe that if you kill innocent people, you will get
to go to heaven and have 70 virgins, some will dare die for it. If
you believe that jumping on a bomb will save your friends, whom you
love, or help win a battle and maybe even save your NATION and the
future of your family, some will choose death.


People only die for something in which they truly believe.


Different from every other religion, the whole Christian experience
is only relevant if Christ was raised from the dead. The body is
what is buried. and it is also what is raised, changed. A spirit
does not need to be raised from the dead. So the program last night
was a direct frontal assault on Christianity.


To paraphrase the apostle Paul, He said, "Why are we in peril, (as
they were at that time) all our lives, if the dead does not rise.
For if the dead does not raise, then Jesus did not rise. If Jesus
was not raised, then our faith is but vanity and we are false
prophets, still in sin."


The Apostle Peter chimed in by saying, "We have not followed
cunningly devised fables, but were eyewitnesses of his Majesty."


Now, it is known that the earliest documents in the New Testament
were written during the lifetimes of these apostles. Their letters
to the Churches testify of what their beliefs were and who they
associated with.


These documents and secular history agree in several ways.


1. There was a man Called Jesus of Nazareth


2. This man claimed to be the Christ.


3. This man was crucified on the Jewish Passover day.


5. This man's body disappeared.


6. His Apostles preached his death burial and resurrection.


7. They died getting out this "good news". (Gospel)



No man dies willingly for something he does not believe.


These men, say that this Jesus, after he was risen, ate, drank, went
fishing, had teaching sessions and meals for 40 days after the
resurrection.

He allowed them to touch and handle him, saying, "A spirit does not
have flesh and bone as you see me have." At one time according to
them, over 500 people saw him at the same time before his mission
was finished here.


Then He left with all his disciples watching him being received up
into a cloud.


Now these are not the things of Hallucinations. Either these things
are true or they are lies.


What is even more evident is, THEY KNEW WHICH IT WAS!


Then they went out, never to have riches, never to have creature
comforts, their lives being in constant danger, being jailed often,
fed to lions, burned with fire or hunted like wild animals.


As scripture would say at one point," If in this life only we have
hope, we are of all men MOST MISERABLE!


These men gave their lives because they Knew Jesus rose from the
dead and therefore all that was written about him was true.



This is the type of testimony that would hold up in court by the per
ponderousness of the evidence.


Now, Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the EVIDENCE of
things not seen.


This means that they believed that he was born without a Human
Father. This would likely mean that he had only 23 chromosomes and
not 46.

He was not married and had no Children. They saw and knew he was
taken bodily into heaven and testified about it in the most powerful
way people could, with their blood.


So, regardless whose bodies was in those ossuaries, it is evident
that it was not Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ, the Son of the living
God.
