Jesus Family Tomb Believed Found

Discovery Channel

The Talpiot TombOn March 28, 1980, a construction crew developing an apartment complex in Talpiot, Jerusalem, uncovered a tomb, which archaeologists from the Israeli Antiquities

Authority excavated shortly thereafter. Archaeologist Shimon Gibson surveyed the site and drew a layout plan. Scholar L.Y. Rahmani later published "A Catalogue of Jewish Ossuaries" that described 10 ossuaries, or limestone bone boxes, found in the tomb.

Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News, writes...

Feb. 25, 2007 — New scientific evidence, [not proof] including DNA analysis conducted at one of the world's foremost molecular genetics laboratories, [What is the name???] as well as studies by leading scholars, [who are these scholars???] suggests a 2,000-year-old Jerusalem tomb could have once held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth and his family.

The findings also suggest that Jesus and Mary Magdalene might have produced a son named Judah.

The DNA findings, alongside statistical conclusions made about the artifacts — originally excavated in 1980 — open a potentially significant chapter in Biblical archaeological history.
The Talpiot Tomb

On March 28, 1980, a construction crew developing an apartment complex in Talpiot, Jerusalem, uncovered a tomb, which archaeologists from the Israeli Antiquities Authority excavated shortly thereafter. Archaeologist Shimon Gibson surveyed the site and drew a layout plan. Scholar L.Y. Rahmani later published "A Catalogue of Jewish Ossuaries" that described 10 ossuaries, or limestone bone boxes, found in the tomb.

Scholars know that from 30 B.C. to 70 A.D., many people in Jerusalem would first wrap bodies in shrouds after death. The bodies were then placed in carved rock tombs, where they decomposed for a year before the bones were placed in an ossuary.

Five of the 10 discovered boxes in the Talpiot tomb were inscribed with names believed to be associated with key figures in the New Testament: Jesus, Mary, Matthew, Joseph, and Mary Magdalene. A sixth inscription, written in Aramaic, translates to "Judah Son of Jesus."
"Such tombs are very typical for that region," Aaron Brody, associate professor of Bible and archaeology at the Pacific School of Religion and director of California's Bade Museum told

Ossuary Inscriptions

At least four leading epigraphers have corroborated the ossuary inscriptions for the documentary, according to the Discovery Channel.

Frank Moore Cross, a professor emeritus in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University, told Discovery News, "The inscriptions are from the Herodian Period, which occurred from around 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. The use of limestone ossuaries and the varied script styles are characteristic of that time."[Interesting, that says that everyone in the tomb died at the same time Jesus died or before 1 BC to 1 AD since Jesus was born the day after 1 BC and died the day before 1 AD]

Jodi Magness, associate department chair of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told Discovery News that, based on the New Testament writings, "Jesus likely lived during the first century A.D.” [Likely? He did.]

In addition to the "Judah son of Jesus" inscription, which is written in Aramaic on one of the ossuaries, another limestone burial box is labeled in Aramaic with "Jesus Son of Joseph.” [in the first place Jesus was not the son of Joseph, not biologically, so there would be no DNA match to Joseph, and If it can be scientifically proven that these are the bones of Jesus the son of God then why has this been sitting since 1980???]

Another bears the Hebrew inscription "Maria," a Latin version of "Miriam," or, in English, "Mary.” Yet another ossuary inscription, written in Hebrew, reads "Matia," the original Hebrew word for "Matthew.” Only one of the inscriptions is written in Greek. It reads, "Mariamene e Mara," which can be translated as, "Mary known as the master."

Francois Bovon, professor of the history of religion at Harvard University, told Discovery News, "Mariamene, or Mariamne, probably was the actual name given to Mary Magdalene."
Bovon explained that he and a colleague discovered a fourteenth century copy in Greek of a fourth century text that contains the most complete version of the "Acts of Philip" ever found. Although not included in the Bible, the "Acts of Philip" mentions the apostles and Mariamne, sister of the apostle Philip. [These so-called “Acts of Philip were written almost 200 years after the death of Philip of the New Testament ]

"When Philip is weak, she is strong," Bovon said. "She likely was a great teacher who even inspired her own sect of followers, called Mariamnists, who existed from around the 2nd to the 3rd century." [assuming that, that is AD, it is also 2 to300 years later]

DNA Analysis

Jacobovici, director, producer and writer of "The Lost Tomb of Jesus," and his team obtained two sets of samples from the ossuaries for DNA and chemical analysis. The first set consisted of bits of matter taken from the "Jesus Son of Joseph" and "Mariamene e Mara" ossuaries. The second set consisted of patina — a chemical film encrustation on one of the limestone boxes.[who knows where that came from]

The human remains were analyzed by Carney Matheson, a scientist at the Paleo-DNA Laboratory at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada. Mitochondrial DNA examination determined the individual in the Jesus ossuary and the person in the ossuary linked to Mary Magdalene were not related.

Since tombs normally contain either blood relations or spouses, Jacobovici and his team suggest it is possible Jesus and Mary Magdalene were a couple. "Judah," whom they indicate may have been their son, could have been the "lad" described in the Gospel of John as sleeping in Jesus' lap at the Last Supper.

Robert Genna, director of the Suffolk County Crime Laboratory in New York, analyzed both the patina taken from the Talpiot Tomb and chemical residue obtained from the "James" ossuary, which was also found around 1980, but subsequently disappeared and resurfaced in the antiquities market. Although controversy surrounds this burial box, Genna found that the two patinas matched. [since it disappeared no one knows for sure which ossuary it came from]

"The samples were consistent with each other," Genna told Discovery News. [that could be because they came from the same ossuary]

Upon examining the tomb, the filmmakers determined a space exists that would have fit the "James" ossuary. Given the patina match and this observation, Jacobovici theorizes the lost burial box could, in fact, be the ‘James” ossuary. [the statement, “could, in fact” is an oxymoron, it is either fact or it isn’t]

Note: Pertaining to the previous article, all of the emphasis added by bold blue print is mine, the words are original. All the words in [brackets] and red are mine.

By de Andréa

If you notice, this entire article is based on word usage such as “could have, suggest, might have, conclusions, theories, likely, probably, possibly, normally, linked to, may have been, could in fact, and we even have filmmakers” determining things in this so-called Scientific investigation.

Jacobovici, a self-proclaimed expert on biblical history has been wholly ignored by his archeological colleagues as being a Indiana Jones nut.

This entire study, if one could even call it that, is based on bad history, bad science, conjecture, theories, and like the article says; “what may have been” This is a long way from Scientific Proof.

Science is exact which means it can be proved. This is not Science, this is just a fictional story built on the possibility that this might have been the family tomb of Joseph and Mary, but the question that still remains to be proven, is, which Joseph and Mary??? I personally know two Bob and Karen’s…

One advantage to a Religion is, it doesn't need to be proved. It is a belief by faith. Science on the other hand does need to be proved. Because there is no proof here, only words thay would be used in a Religious belief, maybe Jocobovici is trying to start a new Religion. Someone should tell him we already have an anti Christian Religion, It's called Islam...

The History of Social Security



Just in case some of you didn't know this. It’s easy to check out if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little lesson on what happens to truth when lies are told long enough.
_____________________________________________
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.

He promised:
1.) That participation in the Social Security Program would be completely voluntary.
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program.
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their incomes, for tax purposes each year.
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government programs.
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month --and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to "put away" -- you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the General fund so that Congress could steal from it for their own pet programs or projects?
A: It was Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson and the liberal democrat controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The liberal Democrat Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The liberal Democrat Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US.
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the liberal Democrat Party, immigrants who moved into this country, and even though they never paid a dime into social security at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! Just to buy votes, and using your Social Security money to do it.

And now because of the resent vote of liberal Democrat party, Illegal aliens are eligible to steal your social security benefits as well, even if they go back to Mexico, or Iran or Columbia or North Korea or...

THE BOTTOM LINE: Do you know that if the Government would have put the original trust fund as well as all the subsequent funds into Index funds in the stock market instead of letting it sit idle or stealing from it as they did, by now the Social security fund would likely be sufficient enough to support all the retirees from now on, without putting any more money into it; ever?
Then, after the Democrats did all this lying, stealing and the illegal giving away of your social security benefits and the violation of the original contract (FICA), the liberal Democrats turn around and tell you that the conservative Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is, the uninformed, misinformed ignorant citizens believe it! Don’t be uninformed or misinformed, check it out, or you will pay for it.

Mexican Government Initiates the Prosecution Of American Border Agents



Sacrificial Lambs:
Not one but two of Americas defenders of the sovereignty of this free nation have had their lives sacrificed in order to promote Bush’s Globalist agenda of a NORTH AMERICAN UNION to be created by the demise of Canada the United States and Mexico.

By de Andrea

In order to promote the cue of one North American Country, President Bush has not only thrown one bone, but the bones of two American Heroes at the feet of President Vicente Fox and now President Felipe de Jesus CALDERON Hinojosa.

The lives of not only Ramose and Compean (two U.S. Border Guards) but the lives of their families as well, are being sacrificed as an appeasement offering to the Government of Mexico, which goes to show the lengths that President Bush will go to bring about his personal agenda of an eventual global government and economy. For now it is just the North American Union.

Bush will leave the bones of Ramos and Compean who risked their lives to protect this country from the overwhelming flow of drugs and criminal aliens, to rot in the dungeons of Americas Federal Prisons, just to feed the Dragon at our southern border.

For those of you that have not been following the story here is a recap. On February 17 2005 Agents Ramos and Compean each in a separate patrol truck saw a suspicious van with Mexican plates traveling on a road running parallel to the Mexican border separated by a irrigation ditch, a field, and the Rio Grand River. The van was recognized as one that had carried drugs from Mexico in the past. The two Agents followed the van and the driver of the van accelerated, went out of control, and went into the ditch. The driver left the van and went into the water and up the bank with Agent Compean giving chase. Compean caught the suspect on the other side of the bank and a struggled ensued and Compean was knocked to the ground by the suspect. Ramos hearing shots fired, runs into the water and up the bank and seeing his partner Compean on the ground assumed that he had been shot. Ramos yelled at the suspect to stop which resulted in the suspect stopping and turning toward Ramos and pointing what Ramos thought to be a gun directly at Agent Ramos. Ramos Fired his own forty cal automatic at the suspect, the suspect again turned back toward the Rio Grand and the Mexican Border and ran full tilt across the remainder of the field and the river and into a waiting vehicle and sped off.

Not thinking that any of the shots fired had actually hit the suspect because of his ability to run uninhibited the rest of the way across the field and the river and jumping in to a waiting vehicle both agent Ramos and agent Compean verbally reported the incident to their supervisor, which is the proper procedure for shots fired. If there was an actual shooting of a suspect then a paper report would be the proper procedure.

Having satisfied procedures, then just the van which was full of Marijuana nearly 800 lbs of it was processed and a paper report was made of the confiscation of the drugs, all according to procedure. Both agents Ramos and Compean already decorated agents, received commendations for there recovery of the drugs.

Nothing more was thought of it, until the arrest of agent Ramos and agent Compean by the U.S. Department of Justice after March 4, 2005.

They where charged with failing to report a shooting of an unarmed suspect. Truth is no one can prove whether or not the suspect was armed or not. They were also prosecuted under a law meant to prosecute a suspect shooting someone in the commission of a crime. Agents Compean and Ramos were not in the process of committing a crime, so the law doesn’t apply. Then since the trial is has been discovered that the bullet taken from the buttocks of the suspect does not match the ballistics of the guns from either agents Ramos or Compean. So if in fact the suspect Davila a career drug smuggler was actually shot, it wasn’t by agent’s Ramos or Compean, more than likely the suspect Davila was shot later by a drug lord for losing nearly 800 lbs of drugs.

The Mexican government was directly involved in the initiation of the investigation against Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean which led to their arrest, conviction and imprisonment, according to World Net Daily’s reporter Jerome Corsi -- author of the best-seller “Unfit For CommandCorsi, quoting members of Congress and sourcing Hill staffers, reports that Department of Homeland Security investigators informed Congress that it was the Mexican Consulate that initiated the events by contacting the U.S. Consulate.
Mexican Consulate requests action, Corsi explained that no action was taken for days following the incident at the border. In fact the agents' actions were considered “normal” and the reporting "acceptable” until Mexico intervened, says Corsi.

How was the Mexican government involved in the Ramos/Compean case?For several weeks [after the February 17, 2005 incident at the border] no investigation was ongoing. The Border Patrol considered the incident to be completely normal, the reporting to be acceptable and nothing was being done. “Then on March 4 the request came through from the Mexican Consulate to the U.S. consulate in Mexico demanding an investigation on the basis that the Mexican Consulate was bringing forth Davila a convicted drug smuggler and wanted the agents to be punished.” Corsi also documents how the Mexican government was instrumental in the initiation of the case against Sheriff’s Deputy Gilmer Hernandez -- the other high-profile case involving U.S. prosecution against our own personnel in favor of illegal aliens

Agent’s are sacrificial lambs in Open Border agendaCorsi said that these agents are “victims of Mexico” and the Bush administration agenda for “political and economic integration with Mexico and Canada.”

Grassfire’s Steve Elliott says any involvement by the Mexican government is unacceptable. “The timing of Mexico's involvement is not, to me, as critical as the fact that Mexico has such influence. It is outrageous that the Mexican government has any influence over the actions of our Justice Department, especially when the alleged victim is an illegal alien career drug smuggler. Mexico has no place in U.S. internal affairs.”On the Fourth of March we see an investigation began by the Department of Homeland Security in the Ramos and Compean case and a file opened by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. Nothing had been done until the request came forward from the Mexican Consulate and the dates coincide -- March 4, 2005 -- the request from the Mexican Consulate and the start of the case by DHS and the Department of Justice.

Jerome Corsi with Steve Elliott

So the Mexican Consulate initiated this entire fiasco?That’s correct. That’s how I see it. This is coming out of the 9/26/06 meeting of DHS with members of Congress, correct?That is correct. I’ve gotten a hold of notes from staffers who attended that meeting…. Those notes fully document and are very clear that the contact came from the Mexican Consulate and it came through the U.S. Consulate in Mexico and that’s how the case has begun.
This is the same meeting in which DHS misled members of Congress, correct?These three DHS investigators…lied when it came to saying they had investigative reports that Ramos and Compean were rogue cops who were going to go out and shoot some Mexicans that day. … The Department of Homeland Security doesn’t have those reports. There’s nothing they can produce. It’s a lie.

Now we’re finding out that our own governmentis lying to members of Congress and our Department of Homeland Security may be acting on orders fro the MC!They were being praised because they got 743 pounds of dope -- …until Mexico demanded that George W. Bush be an agent of the Mexican government and prosecute these Border Patrol agents to defend a fleeing Mexican national drug dealer.Why would our government want to even take any direction from the Mexican government?I believe the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America that President Bush agreed to on March 23, 2005, [that] President Bush has decided to integrate us --a politically and economic integration with Mexico and Canada -- he’s going to pursue that agenda whether he explains it to the American people or not.These border agents have been caught up in this…They’re just victims of Mexico as Vicente Fox has been pushing a North American Union for years…. That I believe is the agenda, and it’s openly there in the public record.

Australian Leader says: Al-Qaida Wants Obama…


Of course Al Qaida wants Obama to be President of the United States, Obama is a fellow Muslim. This is how Islam will take control of America and the world, by infiltrating governments from the inside, just as they are already doing in Europe. When is the west going to wake up to this fact of history?

By de Andréa

Australia's conservative prime minister slammed Barack Obama on Sunday over his opposition to the Iraq war, a day after the first-term U.S. senator announced his intention to run for the White House in 2008.

Obama said Saturday at his campaign kickoff in Springfield, Ill., that one of the country's first priorities should be ending the war in Iraq. He has also introduced a bill in the Senate to prevent President Bush from increasing American troop levels in Iraq and to remove U.S. combat forces from the country because he of course wants the U.S. to lose in Iraq so Al Qaida to take over the Iraqi Government.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard, a staunch Bush ally who has sent troops to Iraq and faces his own re-election bid later this year, said Obama's proposals would spell disaster for the west.

"I think that will just encourage those who want to completely destabilize and destroy Iraq, and create chaos and a victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for an Obama victory," Howard said on Nine Network television stations Sunday February 18, 2007. .

"If I were running al-Qaida in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats."

"You either rat on the ally or you stay with the ally," he said. "If it's all right for us to go, it's all right for the Americans and the British to go, and if everybody goes, Iraq will descend into total civil war and there'll be a lot of bloodshed."

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs, traveling with the Muslim Senator in Iowa, said that Howard's words were misguided.

Gibbs went on to say, "the United States has sacrificed more than 3,000 brave young men and women and $400 billion dollars, only to find ourselves mired in the middle of a sectarian civil war," he said. "Even Republicans ... know that more of the same is only going to attract more terrorists to Iraq and make our country less safe."

Even Prime Minister Howard doesn’t know how right he is about Al Qaida supporting Obama. I would watch very closely as to where Obama’s political money comes from. If Robert Gibbs can figure out how to accept some Middle Eastern oil money from Al Qaida for Obama’s campaign to run for President you can bet he will.

Our Government is so totally blind as to the agenda if Islam that they cannot see that while we fight a war against Islam in the Middle East, Islam is making an end run around to our back door and will defeat the U.S. by Islamic Infiltration of the very foundation of this country and pull it right out from under us. Moreover, they will do it with our help.

Islam has had well over a thousand years to plan this new kind of warfare, it has already been successful in Europe, Three years ago I predicted the Islamic European takeover within ten years, today they are ahead of schedule, and have already made many deep inroads in the Infiltration of America.

In case you are not aware of our enemy’s infiltration of this country, I would say that being in charge of our ports, being in charge of our Nuclear security, training our Customs and airport security agents, having two Islamic U.S. Senators, and having an Islamic Imam pray for the swift overthrow of the US Government at an official D.N.C. meeting, and Muslims getting elected to a growing number of City Councils and Mayoral positions across this country and replacing city and county ordinances with Islamic Sharia law, as well as a Muslim running for the U.S. Presidency, just to name a few, and yes an Islamic U.S. Postage Stamp. This might be considered by some sighted and thinking people, to be infiltration by ones enemy.

Think about it this way: It is 1942 and the previous paragraph was true about the German Nazis instead. Moreover a Nazi Swastika on a U.S. Postage Stamp. Unthinkable you say? You would be correct, why then, is this not a concern when it comes to this enemy? I will tell you why, it is because we have been deceived, brainwashed into being politically correct, tolerant, and blinded to what is going on right in front of our eyes. If we, like the Crusaders of History take three hundred to wake up to the agenda of Islam-------well, trust me… we don’t have three hundred years…

Muslims Are Taking Over Europe


Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007 11:22 a.m.

From the NewsMax.com Staff

For the story behind the story...

By Bernard Lewis

Muslims, "are about to take over Europe,” which has "given up” efforts to maintain its culture; said world-renowned Middle Eastern and Islamic scholar Bernard Lewis.
Lewis, a professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton, told the Jerusalem Post that soon the only important question regarding Europe’s future would be, "Will it be an Islamized Europe or Europeanized Islam?"

Lewis, whose many books include the recent "What Went Wrong? The Clash between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East,” said the Islamic takeover of Europe would be assisted by "immigration and democracy.” Instead of fighting the threat, he added, Europeans had given up.

"Europeans are losing their own loyalties and their own self-confidence," he said. "They no longer have respect for their own culture.” Europeans have "surrendered" on every issue with regard to Islam in a mood of "self-abasement, political correctness, and multi-culturalism.”

Turning to the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, Lewis said the Cold War philosophy of Mutual Assured Destruction, which prevented the former Soviet Union and the United States from using nuclear weapons against each other, would not apply to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's regime. "For him, Mutual Assured Destruction is not a deterrent, it is an inducement. If [Iran's ruling ayatollahs] kill large numbers of their own people, they are doing them a favor. They believe they are giving them a quick, free pass to heaven. I find this all very alarming.”

The previous article written by Professor Bernard Lewis, a professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University supports what I have been screaming about for the past three years, just as loudly as I know how. Even members of my own family have told me that I am more than just a little crazy and at the very least; extreme. Well I will not keep quiet about this, because this is true and the only one that is extreme here is the nation of Islam.

What is even more important than the fact that Europe is being taken over by the Satanic Nation of Islam is that Islam’s god Allah is using the exact same process of Politically Correct Tolerance, Infiltration of our Government rather than Assimilation into our society, and the compromise with Islamic culture at the demise of our own, right here in America as well.

While we are busy trying to convert Islam into a little western democracy in Iraq at the front door, the Nation of Islam is busy winning the war in Europe and right here in the U.S.A. just by incrementally and surreptitiously entering our back door. Moreover we are paying no attention to it at all; we are even blindly helping Islam to achieve their goal of destroying America and promoting their god’s agenda of world conquest and tyranny.

More than three years ago I predicted the take over of Europe by Islam in less than ten years, well it certainly has been less than ten years, but I see now that I should have been a little bolder and said less than five years.

If this will help one get some prospective on this, four years ago Europe was in about the same state of Islamic invasion that the U.S. is now. In addition they were blindly just beginning to make the same mistakes that we are well into the middle of making now. Four years later Europe, mainly Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and with England is not far behind, are all on the verge of loosing the little freedom they have left to the worst night mare in all of recorded human history since the great flood.

Has anyone ever wondered why America or the great country from the west is not even mentioned in the end time Bible Prophecy? Well the Answer could be that it is no longer America, but instead the Center of Islamic World Rule; the throne of the restored Grand Mullah or Imam the Caliphate of Islam the Embodiment of Satan the Anti-Christ. This indecently, is in fact, the agenda of Islam and Allah their god, all documented and recorded in their play book of war and conquest of the world, the Quran.

America, formerly a follower of Jehovah, the God of Israel, the Father of Jesus the son of God and the God of us all, is now blindly and unknowingly following the god of Islam, Allah, a former angelic creation of Jehovah God also known as Beelzebub, Lucifer, the Angel of Death, and several other names, Satan Himself, The Great Deceiver.

If you would like to learn more about The Nation of Islam, de Andréa has written two books about the threat of Islam. A theological book Titled EXPOSED the truth about Islam and Allah their god. And a book on a political theme called the United States of Islam. If you are interested in one or both of these books, you can contact de Andréa at: writedeandrea@hotmail.com
