Has the blood of Jesus been found?

[PrisonerOfHope]

No surprise, but the following has been posted on Tng's heretical site. I'm putting this in a separate thread because this is a subject that comes up every so often, and so many who call themselves Christians believe everything they hear as long as it has a "Christian" veneer on it or names and name of Jesus. 


"BLOOD OF JESUS Tested In Israel, Proven Alive"

Blood Of Jesus Is Tested In Israel, Proven Alive | God TV News



(This is astounding that the blood of Jesus was alive when tested.)

"God TV." Yeah, that's a reliable source - they promote every pulpit pimp and false teacher out there!  But let's see what the article says:

BLOOD OF JESUS IS TESTED IN ISRAEL, PROVEN ALIVE

written by Le-Jovale Vallejo June 14, 2023





The blood of Jesus was discovered by an archeologist. When it was tested in an Israeli laboratory, it was found alive.



The Blood of Jesus

A man has discovered proof that Jesus existed. An archaeologist by the name of Ron Wyatt declared on January 6th, 1982, that he had found the Ark of the Covenant.



What was more intriguing was that he saw a huge crack above the cave where the ark had been discovered. And it appeared as though a dried, black substance had spilled all over the ark’s mercy seat.



Upon returning to the lab for testing, they learned that it was blood with 24 chromosomes and somehow it was still alive.



When he returned to the location where he discovered the ark, he learned that it was buried right beneath where Christ was crucified. It gives evidence that this could be the blood that dripped down during the crucifixion as the earth split open.



The Blood of Jesus Still Alive

A video of Ron Wyatt resurfacing explained how he discovered that the blood of Jesus is still alive.



“Dry blood is dead blood; everybody knows that. However, there’s no way I know that you can get a chromosome count out of dead blood. You can get DNA and some other things but not a chromosome count. That’s done by living white blood cells,” he said.



He took the blood into the laboratory in Israel and asked them to examine it carefully. With one look, they knew it was “dead” blood. But because Ron was persistent, they tested the blood and found something intriguing.



“I said, “Take some of the white blood cells and put them in a growth medium and keep them at body temperature for 48 hours,”” Ron requested.



24 Chromosomes

The blood was then examined under a microscope. Two people who tested the blood called the one spearheading the team and told him what they had dsicovered. The three then told Ron, “Mr. Wyatt, this human blood has 24 chromosomes in it.”



“You see, everyone else has 46,” said Ron. “23 from your mother, 23 from your father. This blood had 23 chromosomes from the mother’s side, one Y chromosome only. And they said the blood is alive.”



When the people who tested the blood asked, “Whose blood is this?” Ron answered with tears in his eyes, “It’s the blood of your Messiah.

Is Ron Wyatt telling the truth? Well, there are other articles in this forum that expose him for the fraud that he was, and here's one that specifically addressed his "blood of Jesus" claim:


Can we trust Ron Wyatt’s published claim that they have discovered some of Jesus’ blood and that it has 24, not 23 chromosomes?

Question:



I heard about discovery of Jesus’ blood on the ark of covenant by Ryan Watt. He concluded they found Jesus’ blood ….when they tested this blood the results were that Jesus’ blood is still alive today, and it has 24 chromosomes: 23 from his mother and 1 from the Holy Spirit which proves the virgin birth. The 23 chromosomes helps to form a baby and the father’s chromosomes decides gender of a baby, But Watt claims in Jesus’ blood they found an extra chromosome. Is this discovery of Jesus’ blood reliable? If not …why not? Also, I saw a recent you tube channel which also concluded Jesus’ blood is still alive. Is this true? What do you say sir?



Answer:



I assume you mean Ron Wyatt. Unfortunately this man is a completely unreliable witness. He has been known to fake data, then use pictures from out of context to flat out lie. He has done this again and again. He is a charlatan and a self-serving self-promoter, and Christians would do well to not use any of his material. We need to learn to be more discerning and to ask hard questions of those who make claims, even when they seem to support Christian belief. A good rule of thumb on claims by Christians or anyone else: If it is too good to be true, then it is probably too good to be true! This certainly applies to this totally bogus claim about finding actual blood of Jesus!



I have a personal friend who confronted Wyatt face-to-face. He asked him how he could write such obviously false claims. His response (paraphrased), “I have to make money somehow.” I strongly urge you to not use Wyatt’s material and if you have published anything online, you should take it down and perhaps apologize for putting out unreliable material.



Why is this claim not reliable? First of all, because the person making the claim is a know repeat liar and charlatan. Also, because the idea that the blood of Jesus could be found, or that it could have been preserved for nearly two thousand years is absolutely absurd. The DNA in blood degrades within a few days except in extremely rare circumstances, none of which would ever apply to the blood of Jesus. Again, I strongly advise you to be more skeptical (although you did the right thing to send the question!)
