i'd read that or something like it, they've been saying for months that it was a hoax and that they had already proven it was a fake - good to see you posting, Enki 8-)  |

Also, The names: James, Jesus, Joseph, were very common names back then; so even if the name wasn't forged, How you going to conclude that it was the Jesus or James of the Bible? I've been reading a lot about Israel trying to inhibit or shut down archaelogical sites. They fear finding things that would disprove the Bible; thus putting them on very shaky ground with regard to their claims to the holy land? I saw a program regarding this ossuary, and a writing expert explained of how the name inscription was forged. It was very interesting, and shows such sophisticated modern methods of determining the age of documents and writings and even to what the medium used at the time. Kinda like forensic science does in solving crimes. Good to see you again, Enki. We miss you around here.  |

I had doubts from the beginning as to the authenticity of the claims. Why some people just don't leave well enough alone is something I cannot understand. There's enough proof in the fact that this world exists to produce faith that God exists. There's enough in God's Word to produce faith. Why bother with all that? Who is trying to prove what to whom? Millions of others have lived and died without having anything other to go on except for God drawing them to His truth. When men steps in and attempts to improve God's perfect plan, all they do is cause confusions and many others to doubt God.  |

One of my Orthodox Jewish friends, a very brilliant man, told me this several weeks ago. He could tell by looking at the inscription.  |

Hi, Enki. This was the first time I heard this, too. Somehow I thought it strange that the inscription read "brother of Jesus" instead of "son of Joseph and Mary" or something like that. I don't think it's too common to mention your brother on your epitaph.  |

Its seems odd to me that the only ones who appear to be claiming this is a hoax, are the Jews- the ones who would have the most to lose because Jesus blows their whole case of modern Judaism. From what I have read on this post, the Jews are saying it is a fraud, the Gentiles are saying it is authentic. *Shocking* But, I am only going off of this post because this is the first I have heard of it being a fake- just seems supsicious from what I read in this post, the Jews are the ones claiming it is a fraud. |

Enki, my friend, I hope things have been well for you. ----------- What we have here is two scholars having a hissy fit with each other. Dorfman and Herschel Shanks, editor of Biblical Archeology Review have a bad history together, as do two other members of Dorfman's team with Shanks. It is interesting that the official report was delayed, and that this report says "The committee concluded that "even if the ossuary is authentic, there is no reason to assume the bones of Jesus's brother were inside," ". WELL, IS IT A FAKE OR NOT? This is significant only in that Dorfman is the first person who has credentials in the necessary relivant fields of study to say it was fake. ALL OTHERS WHO HAVE CLAIMED IT WAS FAKE UP TOP THIS POINT HAVE BEEN SPEAKING FROM OUTSIDE THEIR FIELDS OF STUDY! In short they didn't know what they were talking about; at least Dorfman supposedly does.  |

Another thing I find interesting is the ones who are saying its real want further study, the ones who say its fake want all study on it stopped. Why? |
