FFS Why does EVERY atheist on Tibb misinterpret what I am saying? I replied to LT with a very simple: "I dare not answer you LT but you are wrong." So please tell me how you derive from that simple statement;
"So what you're saying is... If Jesus' bones ever turned up, the Christian belief system would NOT fly out the window."?
Especially when I had only just stated to Niamh:
"That's what I mean though Niamh - Christians believe that Christ 'rose body and soul' into heaven,
so IF his bones/body ever turned up then all our beliefs fly out of the window.
Which is the the exact opposite of what you're claiming that I am saying T.S.
Also in a recent post, I stated - as an unorthodox Christian - that the evidence that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene is irrefutable, which has no bearing on him being the Messiah at all, but there is not one jot of evidence that Christ had children.
Far from it damaging Christianity, the 'James' ossuary is highly embarrassing to atheists and anti-Christians, because if it is a fake it adds nothing to their argument, but if it is real it proves the existence of Jesus.
Finding the ossuary of James does not prove Jesus did not resurrect, and there is no proof of Jesus's bones being in that tomb nor has any bona fide archaeologist or expert ever claimed or suggested that there ever have been.
