Did Jesus have long hair? Sort of hard to tell, as we have no real-life pictures.

Sure they're dumb enough Cashman, just too politically correct to dare say anything of the like.

As for Jesus, I stand by my biblical beliefs rather than Hollywood's showboating!

So if somebody found a grave in Accy Cemetary with the names of Tom and Alice on there would it be my parents? They lived and died in Accrington so it must be them - well no actually, they were both cremated.

As has already been said, those names were far from uncommon at the time and they aren't even rare in some parts of the world today.

It's an interesting archeological find but that's about all.

I'm more inclined to go along with the evidence which points toward Mary Magdalene fleeing to France.

Did Jesus have long hair? Well Kris Kritofferson thought so, but he also thought he was a Capricorn and I think that's been disproven now too. It was normal for the time and place for men to have long hair and beards.

DNA evidence? This guy has some of Jesus' DNA ????? How else could he have done the tests?

Wasn't it only Christ's 'soul' that supposedly ascended to heaven? Or are we supposed to believe that a body levitated off into space now?

From the Turin Shroud of course.
Hang on though, that's been scientifically proven not to be 2,000 years old.

how could it just be his soul if he rose from the dead?

and weren't there witnesses?

or had they just been at the hallucinogenic plantlife of the time?

excuse my ignorance.

Even if this is true can someone tell me what it will change? Anything? It will affect nothing so why the fuss.

Yes but it's a great thread for gathering some useless information that may just come in handy in a round the bar argument/discussion after a few pints, *garinda* that history lesson on Muhammad was sheer magic you sure can destroy them.

I wasn't being anti-Islamic, as an atheist, to me all religion is a load of old superstitious bunkum.

Nope, not just his soul. The whole kit'n'kaboodle. Soul in resurrected body. He had a physical body because he invited Thomas to poke his finger in the nail holes and his hand in the spear wound in his side. Now that's one thing I never really understood unless it was just to prove something to Thomas because I thought resurrected bodies were supposed to not have any imperfections like holes and wounds.

Anyway, yes he was taken off in a cloud in his entirety.

Well if it was the physical bodily remains of Christ on earth then yes it would affect a heck of a lot of Christians who believe in the resurrection and ascension.

As it is, it could even be some relatives of his for all we know and they could have the same DNA (which I'm still curious about the source of) and it's a fascinating archeological find jut as the tomb of Tutenkhamun or this new one recently found in Egypt that there doesn't seem to have been much said about.
