The witnesses to His resurrection dealt with His crucified body ... as in bringing Him fish to eat and he ate it in front of them, as in placing fingers in His wounds. His resurrected body was able to pass through solid walls, to appear in locked rooms; He walked with disciples and broke bread with them then vanished; He got a fire going to cook breakfast beside the lake for fishing disciples. But it is also recorded in scriptures that He told the first to His empty tomb to go and tell the disciples to meet Him in Galilee. That is where it is likely His last days before ascension were spent ... but I'm working on a book in which I offer the odd possibility that he did some time traveling prior to ascension, back to scenes in the Old Testament.

So do you believe that Jesus left earthly remains? Did Mary as well, despite her assumption?

Think for a second: He ascended into Heaven in His resurrected body. While on Earth, he had the same bodily functions as you or me prior to the crucifixion. He bled on the cross and sweat great drops of sweat mixed with blood in Gesthemane. The only earthly remains he left were the normal draught, etc ... He took His body with Him.

As to Mary, well I wouldn't rule it out, guy. It is a proven fact that a woman carries cells from her pregnancies with her for the rest of her life, so the Blessed Mother of Jesus carried cells from Jesus with her throughout her life ...

That's what I thought! You were making it sound as though it would be possible to find his bones.

Good article - thanks for the ping. Anymore I expect tripe like this "Jesus bones" story to be trotted out every so often, especially around Easter.

The attacks themselves are proof of the veracity of our faith.

You are so very right! It is intriguing that while Christians are leaving Iraq, religious vocations in that country are reportedly up! If you martyr these for their Faith, you are sowing the seed for new growth in Jesus! Cameron has no idea how the "true believers" rejoice at his hatred, greed or whatever!

Peace In the Risen Christ!

Joe Zias, a physical anthropologist and archaeologist who formerly worked for the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) but was let go during a budget squeeze in 1997... in August 2003, Zias (unnamed) had given a sworn deposition to the Israeli police swearing to having seen the ossuary in the antiquities shop -- without "brother of Jesus" on it.
update:
Former IAA employee Zoe Zias told several archaeologists and BAR editor Hershal Shanks in 2003 that he had previously seen the James Ossuary in a Jerusalem antiquities shop without the words "brother of Jesus" at the end of the inscription. At the trial, he admitted he had not seen the inscription and could not read it if he had. -- Joe Zias Under Oath | Excerpts from the Forgery Trial of the Century | Biblical Archaeology Society Staff | 06/14/2012
