The Jesus Strand: A Search for DNA

Now for the first time in history a man of faith and a man of science are teaming up to search for Jesus' DNA. Using the latest advances in DNA technology Oxford University geneticist George Busby and biblical scholar Pastor Joe Basile are investigating the world's most famous holy relics including the Shroud of Turin, The Sudarium of Oviedo and the newly discovered bones of Jesus' cousin, John the Baptist. Their journey takes them to holy sites around the world from Spain and Italy to Israel and the shores of the Black Sea. By extracting and analyzing samples of each of these holy relics they hope to retrieve a sample of DNA that possibly belongs to Jesus or a member of his family. They believe that if they can find a strand of Jesus' DNA it could help identify who among us today are descendants of Jesus and provide us with new insight into the man many consider to be the most important person in history, Jesus.

No one is a descendant of Jesus! There may well be descendants of Jesus’ brothers or sisters (Joseph’s children), however.

We all should be followers of Jesus!

This all looks very interesting. Thanks for posting.

It tries very hard to prove a heresy that Jesus has direct descendents which would mean Jesus fathered Children. It was produced 8 years ago. Fraud stay away.

[old school]

Uh, upon my reading of the Bible, Jesus didn’t have any descendants.

If they could find and isolate His Y chromosome, that would be very interesting.

Best would be to take from Jewish families like ZINATI..
That never left Israel since 3,000 + years ago..

Well, when books are selected to provide a narrative, what do you expect. Wasn't the Bible officially compiled sometime around the 4th/5th century?

The only one (Jesus) or two (whomever he might have had relations with) would be the only people who might know, and they are long dead.

[Flaming Conservative]

And just how can they tell they have John the Baptist’s bones? Ridiculous!

[crusty old prospector]

Cuz they were coated in honey and had small locust bites on them.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Jesus was never married. The idea that he has descendants probably comes from the book and movie The Da Vinci Code, which also claims Jesus was not the Son of God and Christianity is a fraud.

[Strict9]

Jesus certainly had brothers and sisters by way of Mary and Joseph. Unfortunately no one knows who or where they went. Maybe they are around somewhere

[Ciaphas Cain]

When the movie came out I read The Da Vinci Code. Years earlier I read Holy Blood, Holy Grail: the book it drew much from.

The Da Vinci Code was a book so bad, I literally threw it at the wall after I was done with it. Absolutely rubbish. I feel bad even admitting that I read it.

[old school]

Look, this is just my immediate reaction: I just don’t trust squeaky-voiced men with tattoos; Leviticus 19:28 notwithstanding.

[HombreSecreto]

If the Shroud of Turin is legit, wouldn’t there be traces of blood still on it?

[RummyChick]

they did this with Luke. I am supposedly in his descendant group.

“Luke the Evangelist may have also belonged to H2.

H2 common ancestor
12,000 years ago
Luke the Evangelist
St. Luke in the Cologne Cathedral, Germany.

Historical evidence suggests that Luke the Evangelist, author of the Gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, was born in the city of Antioch in ancient Syria in the first century C.E. He died and was said to be buried in Thebes, Greece, before his tomb was later transferred to Constantinople and then finally came to rest in Padua, Italy.

In 2001, a team of researchers hoped to use DNA evidence to help verify that the relic in Padua was likely to be Luke the Evangelist, and had not been replaced with the remains of another man in Thebes or Constantinople. They did so by testing his mitochondrial DNA, which they found to belong to haplogroup H2a2b. They also confirmed that it was unlikely that the body had been exchanged for another in Greece, though they could not rule out that possibility in Constantinople.”

Yes its full of inaccuracies and baseless speculation. But a lot of people want to believe it’s true, for some reason.
