In 1980 a construction crew in the Jerusalem suburb of Talpiot chanced upon a first-century tomb, which are not uncommon in that city. The Israeli Antiquities Authority found 10 bone boxes there, and stored them in a warehouse. In 1996, the BBC made a film suggesting that. given the combination, it might be that family. The idea was eventually discounted, however, because, as University of St. Andrews (Scotland) New Testament expert Richard Bauckham asserted in a subsequent book, the names with Biblical resonance are so common that even when you run the probabilities on the group, the odds of it being the famous Jesus's family are "very low."

The filmmakers claim that the DNA test performed from the remains prove that Jesus and Mary were married because two of the individuals in the tomb were not related. This does make sense, because why else would a man and two women, man, and a child be buried together unless they were a family? To produce this combination of names just once in a large city of Jerusalem is astrounding. The names, Jesus, Maria; Mariamene e Mara (Mary Magdalene); Matthew; Judas, son of Jesus; and Jose (the nickname of Jesus' brother listed in the Gospel of Mark). The odds are 600:1 being in favor of this being the tomb of Jesus. What is amusing is the religious community's immediate denial that this could be the actual Jesus family tomb. The filmmaker says to go to forensic archaeologists and statisticians for proof.

But what is happening? An uproar about what some people believe is the actual word of God. Why anybody believes the bibles literally is beyond me, but they do. Do they not know about the Council at Nicea, in which a group of men threw out what they didn't want in the New Testament, manipulated and added what they DID want in it? There were heavy political reasons for why they did this. Given that one fact alone, how could anybody believe that the New Testament is the word of God? (I encourage all of you to read up on the REAL history of Christianity, including the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, The Gnostic Gospels, and the Tenach - the Hebrew Bible - in which there is no mention of Jesus.) Don't you all know that many PEOPLE wrote the bibles?

What is scaring the hell out of people is that IF this is true, then Jesus didn't physically ascend to heaven. Well, he didn't. People saw his spirit. He was a man with a high level of consciousness, but he wasn't a god, nor the only son of God, he wasn't THE God. He was a Jewish man who taught Judaism with a little new spin of his own. Christianity didn't come into being until more than thirty years after his death. Jesus was never anything BUT a Jew. Why shouldn't he have been married? It is known he had a close, respectful and loving relationship with Mary. In fact, Mary was the ONLY one he trusted to teach his apostles. She knew his teachings better than anybody else - she was also a learned woman - NOT a prostitute. That lie was concocted by men who wanted the Church to be run only by men - following the trend set by the woman hating and jealous Apostle Peter. Being married, it would be natural for the couple to have children. But people don't seem to want to accept that Jesus was just a man. They need to make him more, and ironically, in making him more and preaching his teachings, few people actually live them or have understood his messages. If they had, they'd realize they are doing everything anti-Jesus.

So, I think it's important to ask yourselves what this information means to you. What if this is the actual Jesus family tomb? Would your world crumble? Would you still believe in God? Would you stop believing in God? Would you realize how much and how long the Church has lied to you? Would you trust the Church after this? What would Jesus and Mary mean for you now? Could you accept that these were people and not some "special" beings that God favored? Could you accept that you are equal to them in the eyes of the Source? Could you let go of needing to believe in anything other than yourself, the here and now?

I will watch this special and then report my thoughts about it on this page. I hope you will be watching, too. I don't know if anyone can prove this is the actual tomb with genetic data, since we don't have any genetic data we know for certain belonged to Jesus (unless the bones in this tomb are his). So it will be fascinating to see how this continues to unfold and how it affects people. I just know one thing: the Church will continue to deny the possibility that this could be real - because if it is real, that means their jig is up. They fear the backlash and their future. Those in the Church who actually bought the fantasies about Christianity might flip out. The Chuch will their money come from, and how would they continue to control people if the truth finally came out? Oh my goodness, that could mean millions of people would have to find the real Source on their own! Imagine that. I think that would be a real modern-day miracle. We are our OWN saviors, and divine just as we are. Isn't that what Jesus tried to tell people? Yeah - All that God can do, we can do, and more.
