[Just mythoughts]

.....The Bible has always said that Yeshua (Jesus) had brothers: Ya'akov, Yhudah, Shim'on, etc. If this ossuary is real, then its only confirming what the Scriptures have told us for 2000 years in that regard.......

Totally agree this is what the Bible says... now in whose vested interest is it then this object be proved a fake?

Mostly secularists. Religious Jews that I know, especially in Israel, have no problem acknowledging that Yeshua was a famous rabbi in His time--in fact, there's actually a movement among Orthodox scholars to "recapture" Yeshua as one of their own--they just don't believe He was the Messiah or the Incarnation of Deity. So the idea that Jacob might have his relationship to Yeshua noted on his ossuary doesn't bother them.

Catholics tend to accept the find, but to try to explain away the inscription, as we've seen here.

Secularists, both Jew and Gentile, who have accepted the "Christ-myth" baloney are the ones the most threatened by this find.

Shalom.
