They say that they found Jesus' bones with Amry madellen (i don't know how to spell that sorry), and there son. They were going to DNA testing on him.

Question:
What were your first thoughts when you saw they had found Jesus?, and were doing DNA testing?

Choices:
They had God's DNA?.
Alright.... thats great!!
Now we can prove the Davinci Code
I thought he'd rot by now
I really don't care (apathy)
But...he went to heaven body and all didn't he?

 

they didn't find Jesus' bones. Don't be...... like that.

She did. When you were married into the family, for all legal purpouses, you are of their blood. Plus, she was almost nine months pregnant and she had no one else. I don't think she would have made it to her hometown if she went alone.

Was Jesus a common name in Biblical times, or would it have been something unusual?

The Hebrew word for Jesus is the same word that is used for Joshua. This can be written Yehoshua, Yeshua, or Yeshu - but all three are considered to be the same thing, like the difference between Sarah/Sara or John/Jon.

Yeshu was a very common name back then.

Duh, Y chromosome. I knew that. I typed X when I meant Y. Eh, now it doesn't make any sense. Never mind.

*goes to the top shelf in an old box with stuff I don't use and pulls out my old bible*

Okay the linnage in Matthew and Luke go through Joseph's linnage and it goes back to David. However in Bible time when you were married you took on your husband linnage, so in all technicality Jesus would be from the line of David. However, it is also possible, because Mary went to Bethlehem, which was where the line of David originated from, during the census that she was from line of David, because everybody had to go to the town they were born in. But this could also be incorrect and she just followed her fiance.

The Linneage is Matthew 1:1-17. It has Joseph being a descendent of Abraham/David, but nothing of Mary aside from her husbandry.

Anyone got their hands on the bible? I think his lineage is in Matthew. I don't know.. ( is Mary's in there? )

Jesus would have no X chromosome unless God is a woman


Wait, why wouldn't they have an X chromosome?

Clpo, he would have an X chromosome if Mary was his biological mother, which Meg told me he was (And she knows more than I do).

I think you mean he wouldn't have a Y chromosome, if any where missing that is, because God would have had to give him that chromosome to make him a man.

Now, slightly random question:
Was Jesus a common name in Biblical times, or would it have been something unusual?

Supposidly both of them were from the line of David.

Ikki, says that:

"The David thing ISN'T out because the brother of Jesus was also in the tomb, so his DNA could be tested for that line. Actually, they could just test the Y chromosomes."

The chances of there being a man with that name who lived in the right place at the right time are actually quite high, the chances of that man being the impersonation of god on earth are null.

In fact, some statistics say that atleast 1 person has been born or died right where you are now.

Then there's no way to prove if it was the actual Jesus of the bible? ( and how could I forget it was a virgin birth? ) *facepalms*

Maybe if the body has less than the normal amount of chromosomes...

If you think about it, Jesus would have no X chromosome unless God is a woman.

That's what I was thinking.... So the David DNA thing is out. So unless they found a way to test for god...

It was Joseph. Which actually means that Jesus isn't of the line of David because Joseph and Mary had never slept together before Jesus was born.

Well, if it's true that Jesus was really born from a virgin, that is.

OK, I need a quick bible refresher, was Mary a decendent of David, or was it Joseph?

If this is true, what happens to the Easter Bunny?

My question is, what the hell would Jesus' DNA look like anyway? Really, technically if you beleive it, his mother was impregnated by the Holy Spirt, so there for, its got to be some pretty crazy DNA from that half.

If everyone is related in the tomb, it doesn't prove anything except they're a family, from about the right time period. If dna testing is that good, I stick by my line of David defense.
