I have to admit, I can't believe it took this long for someone to try this. There was a fictional book about someone finding Jesus' bones that a friend of mine read years ago and told me he enjoyed. It is the ultimate publicity stunt!
Are these the bones of Jesus? Of course not. No Archeologist worth his salt says so. No reconstruction of the past history could make it plausable. Only the ignorant or the dogmatic would entertain such ideas. And yet, there it is.
Part of me says the guy who thought this ruse up should be struck by lightening for blasphemy. But, part of me, I must confess, smiles. He may be blasphemous, but he is also shrewd. Remember, it was our Lord who pointed out that the citizens of this fallen world are more wise in dealing with the "mammon of unrighteousness" (money) than are the children of the Kingdom.
Thoughts?
