No, They Did Not Find Jesus Christ’s Bones
Just so you all know, this hype (nonsense) that is being paraded all over television about Jesus bones having been found is National Enquirer style tripe.
I might not have a lot of credibility when it comes to this topic, if you are a skeptic, but Michael Spencer has an excellent writeup and links to resources as to how we know.
A few telling items:
- It’s James Cameron that is espousing this idea.
- It’s being touted by Discovery
- James Cameron
- This burial site was actually found in 1980, and was said to mean very little back then as well.
- Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were extremely common names back then. (seriously.)
- James Cameron
So, why all the hullabaloo? Well, a chance to prove, once and for all, that the most profoundly meaningful event in all of history, having the highest amount of moral and personal implications for each individual on the planet, is false, is a huge deal. IF those actually were THE Jesus Christ’s bones, I’d be the first one off the bandwagon, into… what? Who knows. A meaningless existence, I guess.

James Cameron. True Lies. James Cameron. Point Break. James Cameron. Titanic.
James Cameron.

Hey guys! I found Jesus’s Bones! Serial!!! I’m so serial!
Jesus would be rolling in his grave if he heard this!
In all the “discussion” on this profound “nonsense” I did hear the gospel presented very clearly - twice in about 20 minutes - on a secular radio talk show this afternoon. It was very interesting how the host professing Christ and his heathen co-host interacted on it.
I love how God uses even the most ridiculous things to spread the gospel!
Here’s a quick video commenting on the Jesus’ bones “documentary”: http://www.christianworldviewnetwork.com/video.php/1583/Brannon_Howse
I’m curious about that video. Was there additional evidence/testimony from people of the time besides the Bible and church fathers that spoke backing up the things he claimed?
There are many other details that Tom Short wrote about… like the fact that the tomb was in Jerusalem, not Galilee. Or the fact that the writing on the tomb is too old to be incredibly clear, so it could say “Judas” instead of Jesus. Then there is the fact that the tomb is of greater economic value than Jesus could ever had obtained. If Cameron is right, we must believe that the disciples lied to us and then willingly died for something they knew to be a lie - that Jesus had physically risen from the dead when they knew He hadn’t.
Thanks everyone, that’s helpful info.
James Cameron is just another Hollywood Flunky, All he knows is how to cheat on his wives with females with lose morals that star in some of his movies, He has never studied God’s word and he would not because he is spiritually decerned and can not understand a Holy God .
I’m sure this is just another ruse to get people of low intelligents to run out and see one of his upcomming movies of little worth..
shame on him
