In accordance with Orthodox Jewish law pertaining to burial and out of respect for the deceased, any bone fragments were buried in 1980 when the tomb was first opened up. I doubt if the bones would be available to be exhumed for further inspection. Even if they did find "Jesus' bones" there is no DNA matchup to compare His remains to. Joseph was not his biological father so we would have to conclusively prove we have Mary's remains or the remains of one of Jesus' brothers or sisters to try to do any DNA study on the alleged bones of Jesus. I appreciate your comments!Louis Lapideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937345918099904842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640230194403714897.post-33437539338169468272008-01-24T10:57:00.000-08:002008-01-24T10:57:00.000-08:00My personal feeling is that they will not be able ...My personal feeling is that they will not be able to tell whether this is Jesus bones, John's (the beloved) bones or even Josephus' bones. The only proof will be male-female, at what general age they died and how long ago they died. Lisalisa ransdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16996378226393440972noreply@blogger.com
