Anonymous Coward User ID: 1050644 United States 07/30/2010 07:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mark 1 John the Baptist Prepares the Way for Jesus 1The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[a] 2It is written in Isaiah the prophet: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way"— 3"a voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' "[c] 4And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 6John wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7And this was his message: "After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8I baptize you with[d] water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1052878 United States 07/30/2010 08:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Alot of assuming going on here. It was common during the second and later centuries, for the church to 'claim' they had the burial site or bodies of various saints, regardless of who was actually in the tomb. Most often they possessed just a finger or some other body part...trying to impress the little folk. Unfortunately, it's impossible to prove who lies in the grave. All depends on what you want to believe. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1050200Not remains. So what will these relics be I wonder? Relics may be remains as well. Usually it only a body "part" when it is referred to as a "relic," such as a tooth. a petrified finger, etc. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 915767 United States 07/30/2010 12:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have visited Bulgaria a few times and there is some really crazy shit there! You can find tombstones from 7000 B.C. A ton of different cultures they joke there that to find shit all you have to do is just dig. When they were building the metro system for the capital archeologists had huge fight with the mayor because the path of the metro was on the remains of a roman city. In fact they preserved some of it - it is funny when you go in the subway system and you see a store that's inside of an ancient building perfectly preserved. Also there were few claims about finding "Noah's Ark" in the Black Sea, while I don't know how true it is - it is proven that the remains found in the Black Sea were over 6000 B.C. old - so that's pretty impressive. |
