I am sorry if you feel vetting on the fly is wrong.. My wild speculation and assumption is only to walk in with eyes wide open to all possible critique so we go in with answers to all potential claims. It seem as though we Christians always dance around issues to paint an obscure picture in the same way Camerron did with his movie idea. We should give a reasonable answers to all angles. I am dealing with a few issues yet.. Please advise:
Your speculation of the DNA tests stating that they may have been distant relatives is wild in it's assessment alone. The tombs were ceremonially placed together and don't forget the child..Judah son of Jesus. Why are we skating facts?
My wild speculation was stating that someone could say that Jesus was placed in Joseph of arematheas family tomb; the stats I was stating had to do with there being 10 Jesus sons of Joseph and out of all the men in the tomb the baby was attributed to this Jesus as was this Mary or even Martha? I was stating that this 10 out of thousands of ossuaries few had wives attributed and 22 % chance they were a Mary. The odds are good but not great. I just think there might be some providence involved for some reason..Only God knows why if so. I am just trying to get everyone to see the objections and possible theories before they arise; must be prepared to give an answer.
ps. Were the wifes ossuaries usually nicer than the husbands; if so why was this Jesus ossuary so plain? Also one more.. In the stats what about the specific timeline being factored in; it was uncanny; In being compared to the 1000 year gap these ossuaries spanned over. Love, Jeff
