[Straight Vermonter]

There is a test that can be done to measure trace elements found in the body (I think usually from teeth). These trace elements are absorbed into the body from drinking water. Since these trace elements vary from place to place it can fairly reliably determine where the individual came from. If the traces in this body were to match those of people in the area of Tarsus it wold be extremely convincing.

Only if the water in Tarsus was unique to that area and if can be shown that Paul spent his young life there and if it is known what the water in the area of Tarsus contained at the time Paul was there.

If, if if.........not too convincing.

As a Christian, I really don’t care about someone’s
bones - whether the person was the Apostle Paul or
whoever.

Neither did Paul care about his bones!

“We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 5:8

Paul isn’t in Rome! He is with Christ in heaven.

Bone fondlers, kissers, worshippers, adorers, etc.
all miss the meaning of the resurrection, of salvation
and of what it means to be with the Lord.

It is meaningless for Christians.
