Jesus Christ, the true story of Jesus Christ

------------------------------------------

ossuary c ' is an entry that does not leave much doubt:
"James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus"



--------------------- ---------------------
The announcement of the outstanding discovery was made in Washington October 21, 2002 at a press conference organized by the "Biblical Archaeology Review. An important discovery



The funeral urn was discovered in Israel appears to provide a material trace of the existence of Jesus of Nazareth.

The limestone ossuary, which archaeologists have dated to 63 after Christ (remember that James called "the Less" stoned to death in 62) shows a surprising inscription in Aramaic:

"James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus"

Andre Lemaire - a French historian specializing in ancient inscriptions - speaks to not only clear references to Jesus, but his brother James.

In support of the thesis of Andre Lemaire, say other experts, is the fact that an inscription of that kind would be unusual if it were not referring to a famous individual, who certainly was Jesus of Nazareth. Besides that type of burial was practiced by Jews only in the time frame that goes from 20 to 70 AD

Authenticity the finding has been verified by the most qualified experts in the field tests carried out by both the limestone ossuary that the excess soil and other elements found in it. In addition to Dr. Andre Lemaire - epigrapher internationally famous and a specialist in ancient inscriptions - Experts from the Geologic Survey of Israel and researchers at Johns Hopkins University. No artifact

tie back directly to Jesus of Nazareth was never found, the historical evidence in our possession were so far related only to the Gospel writings, this factor gives the James ossuary great cultural importance, at all levels, historiography, Christological , archaeological, theological or religion in general.

The Rev. Joseph Fitzmyer, a Bible scholar, professor at Catholic University, after studying the ossuary was found completely agree with André Lemaire stated that the ossuary inscription "corresponds perfectly to the style of other examples of the first century "and that" the combination of the three famous names engraved in addition to being obvious is extraordinary. " Many

Apocrypha thus exposing the truth that has always rejected institutional Christianity: Jesus had brothers and sisters, born of the normal relationship between Mary and Joseph. A truth so natural and evident, however, that the churches reject institutionalized for reasons of mere survival, for understandable instinct for preservation ... the privilege ...

dismay and anxiety especially in the Catholic world, who not by chance from day one has tried to minimize or pretended to ignore the extraordinary discovery.

Besides the strong concerns of the Catholic world is more than justified: an important (miraculous birth, the divine nature of Jesus and the condition of "perpetual virginity" of Mary) Catholic tradition on which rests the foundation, waver and dissolve after a the other, without truce, the tangible reality of ungovernable revelations. Objectivity, it seems, do not look upon anybody.

Tests in recent centuries by historians, archaeologists and lay theologians in favor of the "earthly nature" of Jesus, more and more overwhelming. The accusations leveled against the Church of having "built the gods 'relation to the' man Jesus" (originally proclaimed in the Council of Constantinople in 325, then again in 680, against Monothelitism, and gradually confirmed in later) on the shoulders of the charismatic leader virtuoso just a community - and doing so on the basis of irrational, exploiting popular myths and superstitions before - now seem incontrovertible.

On the one hand, therefore, the discovery of the ossuary of James represents the first direct evidence of tangible the existence of Jesus, and the other to confirm that Jesus of Nazareth was not begotten, nor had otherworldly nature: Jesus, although authoritative and worthy of praise, was a man among men.

But let us go deeper .....

The close family relationship with Jesus Christ - bond that goes far beyond the spiritual brotherhood - and the importance of James (Iácobos Minor, said "... the Just, son of Mary and Joseph, brother of the Lord who will go out in death, but will be found alive ...") in the early church for decades are the subject of protracted political and religious disputes, yet are confirmed in several documents ...
... here are some below

Josephus 'Jewish Antiquities' XX, 9, 1
"... called a meeting of the council, and there did appear that the brother of Jesus, called Christ, whose name was James ..." Paul's Epistle to the Galatians

I 19 (letter to the churches of Galatia, controversy Judaism)
"... and I did not see any of the other apostles, but only James, the brother of the Lord ..."

Mark VI 2-3 "... he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him said, is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James ... and her sisters are not here in we ?..."

Matthew XIII 55 "... It is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers, James ...? And his sisters are not all of us ?..."

IX 1 Corinthians 5 "... we do not have the right to drive around a wife who is a sister in faith, as do also the other apostles, brothers of the Lord and Cephas ?..."

Matthew XXVII 56 "... among them was Mary Magdalene. Mary mother of James ... "

Mark XV 40" ... among them were also Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less ... "

Mark XVI a" ... the past week Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James ... "

Luke XXIV 10" ... Or those who reported these things to the apostles were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary mother of James and other women ... "

a very special bond, obviously fraternal, between James and Jesus is also apparent in loghion 12 of the Gospel of Thomas (other documents considered by burning churches institutionalized) showing:

Gospel of Thomas § 12 -
The disciples said to Jesus: "We know that you left us. After you, who will guide us?"
Jesus answered them, "When you reach that point you go to James the Just, which entitled to anything dealing with heaven and earth "

This loghion the Gospel of Thomas makes it clear that the will of Jesus it was under a system of leadership to his brother James and not Peter as some mistakenly continue to believe. In addition, numerous documents - including the Book of Acts and the Epistles of Paul - James was the head of the Church of Jerusalem.

is finally further brief information on the figure of James, the brother of Jesus, its importance in the early Christian community of scholars and opinions



Epistle of James to James the Just, brother of the Lord - I remember he was stoned in 62, at the instigation of the high priest Ananias II, called "the Less" for distinction from James the Greater, who was martyred under Herod Agrippa in 44 instead - is also credited with an Epistle, written around the year 60, which consists of five chapters.

In it are initially exhortations to perseverance and the importance of faith accompanied by works and later reflections on the true and false wisdom, peace, harmony and plenty of warnings to the rich heartless.

Acts XII in paragraph 17 which states "... this related to James ..." it is clear that Peter feels a duty to inform James of his first release, confirming the supremacy of the brother of Jesus on the Christian community.

Also more about James, and Peter Saul, are expressed as the authors of "The Hiram Key", Robert Lomas and Christopher Knight:
"... the claim made by Paul to enjoy the support of Simon Peter was only one component of the scaffolding of lies that he was increasing, because it was the same Peter to warn the disciples against the emergence of a 'from other authorities the Nazarite: "So you are absolutely prudent to any teacher who only has to give credence to those who go with him to the recommendation of James, brother of the Lord in Jerusalem" .. .. The interpretations of the Dead Sea Scrolls Robert Eisenman attributed to succor the hypothesis of the identity of Paul with the "source of lies" that collided with James, the "Teacher of Righteousness" .. .. The manuscript entitled pesher on Habakkuk alludes to an individual that "Israel did pour water on lies" and "the faithful away from the straight path, leading them into a wilderness without roads, where the play on words built on the word" road "refers to" transgression of the terms of the border "of the law. We give credit to the hypothesis that identifies the enemy of Paul James. Paul is the "liar" who uttered the false self-righteousness about their education, who invented the mission of Christ who preached the provisional operation of the Act and authorized access to the church to individuals uncircumcised ...».

Louis Moraldi notes: "... to emphasize the extraordinary importance given to the person of James, one of the" brothers of the Lord »..."
Marcello
Craveri writes interpreting loghion 12 of the Gospel of Thomas:
"... the pace reminiscent of the discussions among the apostles, about who was to be considered the biggest [...] * The tradition of the primacy of James, the brother of the Lord Jesus, or at least its authority equal to that of Peter, is confirmed by the Acts, from Paul's letters, from the Gospel of the Hebrews, by Jerome (Comm. in Mich. VII 7), by Eusebius (Hist. Eccl. II 3), by Philosophumena V 7, and, of course, the Gnostic texts ... "

Mark IX * 34 "... and they were silent, because it had argued about who among them was the greatest ..."

Luke IX 46 "... then began to discuss which of them was the greatest ...."

Luke XXII 24 "... Among them was also the contention: which of them was considered the greatest ..."

Galati II 9 " ... James, Cephas and John, who are considered the most authoritative, they recognized that God had given me this assignment so it was decided that we would go among the Gentiles and Jews among them ... "

Galati II 11 "... when Peter came to Antioch chided him because he was wrong [...] came from those who were part of James ..."

An absolute primacy of Peter is actually questionable, since there are 33 plus in Mark VIII " ... But he turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan! You did not mind the things of God, but the things of men ... "Matthew reiterates that in XVI 23" ... he turned and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan! You are my downfall, because you did not mind the things of God, but the things of men ... "In fairness

give space to the other party:

How can this discovery to question the divinity of the Lord Jesus?

Christian faith clearly says that Jesus was truly God and truly man.

That Jesus Christ had brothers has always been clear to all the evangelical Christian world, as clearly shown by the New Testament (Luke 2:7). The sensational discovery can not do anything for pleasure and does not undermine Christian beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus Christ.

The certainty that Jesus had brothers and sisters, do not change the Gospel, instead profoundly change the worship of Mary Mother of Jesus (called Virgin are free of original sin), which is why the Catholic Church does not accept this discovery.

Christians who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and redeemer without co-operators will be happy to confirm this discovery that their ideas.
