I am sure most of you have heard about this finding of this box with burial bones in it that indicate in ancient writing that it belonged to someone with a "father named joseph and a brother named jesus".

I wanted to get thoughts on this, in regards to faith and science and what everyone thinks ...

Did Jesus have more than 1 brother? I think he had a couple or more, tho I think the scriptures are silent on this...

ok...here's whatcha got...one from each of the Boys:

Matthew 12:46
While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him.

Mark 3:31
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.

Luke 8:19
Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd.

John 7:3
Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do.

...and don't forget this one... smile

Mark 6:3
Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

I hadn't heard, but potentialy cool!!

On a sad note Joseph and Jesus were two very common names in that time period frown (hence notations in scripture like "Joseph of Arimathea" and "Jesus of Nazareth" etc

But still hoping for the best!
