Please read the following passage from an article I came across, then we’ll talk about it. Ok?
“Almost inconspicuous in the exhibit are six objects that have generated perhaps the most biblical and religious controversy in recent years, the so-called Jesus Tomb ossuaries. Ossuaries are stone boxes that were used to house the bones of the deceased in underground tombs during the time of Christ.
These particular boxes, discovered during construction of an apartment block in Jerusalem, are unusual because they bear inscriptions including the names Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and Maria. Some scholars have suggested that this means it could be the final resting place of Jesus and his family.
Curators of the exhibit point out that these names were popular and common 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Scores of ossuaries have been unearthed in recent years, and it’s not uncommon to find the name Jesus, for example, scratched on an ossuary. Indeed, to underscore the point, the exhibit includes a tiny stone box bearing the name Jesus, assumed to have held the remains of a child found in another tomb.”
Now, does this make sense to you? I mean, they find these ancient Christian bone boxes with all the names of the people in Christ’s family, including a new one, a sister apparently named Maria that somehow got erased from the New Testament during the Council Of Nicea’s rewrite, and say nope, its not the real thing. But read again what these “experts say”: “these names were popular and common…..it’s not uncommon to find the name ‘Jesus’ on an ossuary (bone box).”
Come on, are you kidding! They just happened to find four bone boxes in the same place bearing the names of the entire holy family, the real one I might add, and all they can say is that Jesus was a common name back then? So what! We’re not talking about just Jesus, we’re talking about his whole god damn family! What is not to get about that? The expert’s response is ludicrous; it doesn’t even address the evidence that was found.
