1 | Who are YOU? | Rom 3:3 | Asis | 86466 | ||
Recently there has been found a box which was used to contain the bones of dead jews. This box was from the time of Jesus. The Jews would place the dead in a tomb and after a year (when all the flesh had rotted away from the bones) they would gather the bones and place them in a box of stone. The body's final resting place. On the box would be an inscription telling who was inside. This box has an inscription saying James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus. It has created quite an uproar in the religous world. The religous scholars would love to be able to ask the bones, "Who are you?" The answer would identify the person in the box. What would the answer be? What would your answer be? Who are you? If you were asked, "who are you?" what would your answer be. Who are you, mommapbs, justme, morant61, Hank, prazn, goodnewsminister, Ebd, Radioman2, Graceful, scribe, Emmaus, all of the forumites. What is your answer? Have you ever thought about who you are? Who are you? |

2 | Who are YOU? | Rom 3:3 | Just Read Mark | 86477 | ||
Textual riddle. It'll be hard to find our bones, scattered across the globe. As for the bone-box -- it has been studied at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto (not too far from me, O bone hunter) -- and the inscription is a bit of a riddle. The name James is very clearly written. The phrase "brother of Jesus" is in a more crude style, suggesting that it is a later addition. So, as occasionally happens on this forum, we are left wondering what text is authentic . . . |

Greetings JustReadMark! The issue with the script on the concerned the lettering style. One critic has suggested that the first phrase is in a formal text style, while the second is in a cruder cursive sytle. However, others have said that the second part also contains a formal style, with a couple of cursive letters mixed in. This, according to this expert, is not unusual. I don't know if the box is authentic or not, but even if it were, there would always be critics! :-) Here is the link to the info from above. http://www.crosswalk.com/news/1175779.html Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
