It is sad, mneme, and the sorry part is that it will come back and bit us in the ass - probably in the early part of this century.

Had to laugh at you and Taps here:) also, your comment to Pat B.. we may not have the DNA but I believe that God is with us and within us, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. What a pity so many reject the wisdom of the ages..

The King James is a work of art, but it should be read with the
awareness that it was a translation produced for a king who tortured and burned heretics, and had a few agendas of his own.

The thing about the sick publicity stunt, Corbin, is that it will probably work. In fact it is already working when I think about it, otherwise the world wouldn't be in an uproar about it.

You are so right there, Ciel. Let's face it, the King James VI Bible, which is the one normally used, was written over a thousand years after the event.

In fact, there are an awful lot of additions to gospel that have come to be
generally accepted as gospel, assumed to actually be gospel because they were added so long ago. Well, more than a couple of generations. It takes some serious scholarship to sort out some of these-- but it's simpler to go back to the beginning and see what the gospels actually do say.
And then, there is only the problem of sorting out inconsistancies, mistakes and bias that occur in translation, transliteration, and interpretation.

At least if they are 'dry bones,' TAPS, we will definitely 'hear the word of the Lord'

Were they "dry bones"? Maybe its time for Ezekiel to show up again so "dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk around..." Was the foot bone connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone connected to the leg bone, the neck bone connected to the thigh bone.....?

We who use the Wisdom of the Word to make major decisions know the craftiness of the enemy to use people for such disgusting tales of darkness. Christianity will never cease!

Pat_B
Or even the starting point for a Pat_B novel? Pondering your latest comment, it dawned on me that God created Man in his image - does this mean we all have the same basic Godlike DNA?

And it's the way the news they want us to hear keeps being repeated ad nauseum as if the more they tell you the more chance there is that it could be true.

Ok, let's say there was a virgin birth. There'd still be DNA
from the mother's genes. I imagine there was DNA and chromosomes and all that in the building blocks of life 2,000 years ago. And maybe in all that thousand generations and marriages from differing gene pools, etc., there may be no proof one way or another, no one possibility out of a million individuals tested. The mystery continues.
In fact, this may be a point for a new Dan Brown novel -- looking for God's DNA...

Good post...whenever I start hearing hype about something,
I close my ears. I am so tired of the public being treated like idiots. Like we believe everything and anything- hey some of us do,don't we? Oh well, life gets worse as I see it, not better so I choose to ignore certain things.

It is also an 'ossuary too cracked to hold bones,' Justi. I wonder if they are going to 'suddenly' find the staircase to heaven behind a dustbin?

Thank you. Some people will do anything for the publicity of it. One who is really living on the Word would know this is a crock too cracked to hold stones. All other religions are against Christians and Jews. Satan wants the bodys and minds of the Christians in order to finalize his plan. Everything that has or is happening has already been predicted in the Holy Bible.

I hadn't considered that point of view, Pat. Although there could be descendants of Mary and Joseph, wasn't Jesus a virgin birth?

No doubt, there's a film...
BTW, I thought I read that the risen Christ did not look like the pre-crucifixion one - that his own apostles didn't recognize him at first. Wasn't that when Thomas doubted him and demanded to put his finger in the wound in his side? It's been a while since I went through that text. I suppose it's possible that other descendants of Joseph and Mary would have the DNA if anyone knows who they might be after 2,000 years, or 1,000 (approx) generations.
