Additionally; lots of other artifacts have been disqualified that came from the Antiquities markets in Jerusalem. For example the Ossuary of James and the Staff crown for the priests at the temple in Jerusalem.

This may be another hoax. I’ll render judgment once the experts have their say.

I’m with you…well written and were my thoughts exactly. The only surprise is the timing. They usualy try to bust these out right before Easter like DaVinci Code and the “gosple” of Judas. I actualy thought this one was pretty weak in comparission to past years. Oh well =) Great Post! I’ll start checking in more. http://www.tomhypes.com

A few years ago, I think this discovery would have really gotten to me.

However, the Time article is a little confusing. At first it appears they are trying to push forward the Jewish origins of the Christian faith…but then it launches into the adaptation of this story by Christians for use in their faith…as if Christianity just “poof” appeared with no connections to Judaism and had to rip stories to create a claim for existence.

I thought the first “Christians” were considered a small sect of Judaism? Why is it such a shock that they would exhibit Jewish tendencies and beliefs? And I agree with you that third day symbolism is found in so many pieces of scripture that it cannot be considered some brand new idea birthed after the crucifixion…this article in all is a little ridiculous.

I think the people most affected by this “discovery” will be those who have not investigated the past narratives of their faith or wealth of scripture available. So it is cool to find a post like this willing to provide a gentle but informative rebuttal. Awesome!

Didn’t read the comments but will tonight when I have more time
Shake my faith? Not a chance! It bolsters it! The spin is trying to cast doubt but the discovery itself is just one more “See, it could happen.” We have to quit looking through 21st Century culture. The disciples were not learned men. There was no internet access so everybody could know everything with the click of a buttom. The likelihood any one of them had heard the prophacy is slim to none. And the likelihood any of them believed it/remembered it if they had heard about it before they saw it is even less than that.

It strengthens my FAITH.

Have you read ‘Blink’? We really fool ourselves, alot! God has told me that I have to have faith to grow in Him. Naturally it’s not real faith if there is nothing to challenge it. If it was easy, everybody would do it and it wouldn’t be challenging…

So, they think they’ve found a piece of stone that may say something, but can’t be certain because our system of dating things sucks.

My faith…it’s good
