Not the sign of the Son of man in some cave in the desert. But He did say this:
Matthew 24:26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
And this:
Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
So whatever comes out of all this...I'll just stick to the original, surely we don't need anymore confirmation than what we've already been givenedit on 30-3-2011 by Maymunah because: (no reason given)

Just about anything would be better for christians than the dead sea scrolls. Remember that the dead sea scrolls were from the same time and area of christ but never mention christ.
Lets just see if any of these writtings actually mention christ.

Yes, I am. Israeli archaeology is too politically focused to be objective, IMHO.
see when someone makes up a story to make sense of something they don't understand it is either religion or science.
God created everything= religion
there was nothing then BANG= science

Wow!!! Some interesting replies here, many of them based on gnostic/scicentific thinking, standard issue public education reading/rationalizations.

The archeology of other nations is not politically focused..or financed by the governments of other political nations??

many people's lives will be shattered if they realize that they lived their lives based on a lie.
Not really, when I learned the Big Bang and Abiogenesis were lies it didn't really faze me at all, in fact I was more happy.

I know when I practice archaeology here, nobody is looking over my shoulder to see how it relates back to the Old Testament.
Just sayin'...
You are most likely correct in this Johnny Canuck..particularly up in Canada. However..if you ever find an artifact like this one....of Historical/Biblical/Political significance...I am sure you will find yourself towing the company line or replaced rapidly. You will not be free to practice your discipline as with other artifacts.
Thanks,

Gnosis, Samael, the Zohar, the Bible, and Gnostic Scriptures
"Even when the Protestants assure us that Luther did the translation from the authentic original Greek, this is not so, because Martin Luther did not know Greek. Only we, the Gnostics, possess the original Greek texts of the sacred scriptures, within our holy Gnostic Church. The Bible is the sacred book of the Gnostics, and only the Gnostics can understand it.
"The Lutheran Bible is based on the works of St. Jerome, which are intentionally defective, since St. Jerome had to channel things according to the interests of Roman Catholicism (according to the orders received from Pope Danasos). St. Jerome was the true author of the Latin Vulgate." - The Seven Words by Samael Aun Weor

As far as I am aware there are no writtings from the time that Jesus was alive that mention him at all. They are all from decades later.
...but, one time, his court was thrown into consternation by finding broad day suddenly turned into blackest night, the heavens rent by lightning, and the world rocked by thunder, portending some dread cataclysm. Conor asked his Druids and wise men for explanation of the fearful happening. The Druid Bachrach, a noted seer, told him that there had been in the East, in one of the many countries under the dominion of Rome, a singular man, more noble of character, more lofty of mind, and more beautiful of soul, than the world had ever before known, or ever again would know - a divine man, a God-man, who spent his life lifting up the lowly, and leading the ignorant to the light, and giving new hope to a hopeless world - one, too, who loved all mankind with a love that surpassed understanding - one, the touch of whose gentle hand gave speech to the dumb, sight to the blind, life to the dead. He was the noblest, greatest, most beautiful, most loving of men. And now the heavens and the earth were thrown into agony because on this day the tyrant Roman, jealous of his power over the people, had nailed him high upon a cross, and between two crucified thieves, had left the divine man to die a fearful death.

That one with metal holding it shut on all 4 sides looks creepy. I can understand both sides, but sealing the top and bottom too...
I just realized that to open the creepy one you have to break 7 seals. 2 top + 2 bottom + 3 side. Extra creepy.

I bet those books were hidden for a good reason. You know someone is going to open it!

Can you please post that video from your thread, I looked and didn't see it in this one.
Christianity is a death cult constructed in order to keep a large amount of people in line and those who sell it, rich. The ingredients of fear, early childhood indoctrination, suppression and brainwashing are their weapons of choice.
At the end of the day, if you are a free thinking person, it's your choice. It's a choice between fear (religion) and love...
What is the currently accepted theory that explains the beginning of our universe.universe is expanding and moving away from another galaxy. Big bang theory. Thought universe was in steady state (eternal). Explains the start of universe. All space, matter, all energy did not always exist, but were brought into existence at a specific time. Whatever begins to exist has a caused. The universe began to exist. Therefore, the universe has a cause. The cause itself must be eternal. Must be eternal, immaterial, powerful.
Hoyle said to hubble “your nuts, like there was some big bang to start.
What is the most impressive piece of evidance that supports this theory. Universe appears to be expanding, background radiation.
