Lots of DNA samples in the foreskins at churches in France and Italy. :-p
​
BTW, here`s a pic of one of the coffins. Impressive, huh?

Was He or wasn`t He?
We know from Biblical and extra biblical sources that Jesus was in fact an incredibly controversial figure at that time
​
So controversial that only believers wrote of Him? Where are the records of the Jewish opposition (Herod, Sanhedrin, Pharisees)? Where are the records from the occupying Power? Where are the comments by travellers? Why didn`t the Essenes mention Him by name? The Samaritans? The residents of the Decapolis?
​
BTW, how come no one but believers noticed the zombies strolling around town? Must have been a few relatives who noted 'Look, there goes Grandpa.':-p

Re: Was He or wasn`t He?
Shame on you, Juggs, shame, for resurrecting these hoary old PRATTs. As if they haven`t been done to death in every conceivable (side pun) way. I thought you might introduce 'new' evidence for extra-biblical sources, but no, the same old nonsense arises. Try this site for a summary of the 'evidence', including a couple I haven`t come across before. Pandera/Panthera gets a good going-over, as well.

Bros or nos?
When you dip into the subject of the 'brothers' of Jesus, you have to explain what`s going on with the Desposyni. Were the Roman authorities so gullible that they accepted the statements of Jesus' kin without checking the records?

I can believe the Bible until I have a good reason not to. I don't need evidence to believe, I need evidence to stop believing
​
And this from a member of the most-educated generation in the history of the world. Sigh.
