Using Jesus' DNA to clone another Christ?

Pravda is sort of like a Russian Weekly World News. I hope the writer doesn’t really think that John the Baptist wrote Revelations.
 
There was a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” episode like this, as I recall, with a Klingon messianic figure.
 
Please, people, this is such an old joke. I’ve seen variations on this around the internet. No one is trying to clone Jesus.
 
If I recall correctly, PRAVDA means Truth in Russian, and they have another paper called Izvestia, or News.

In Soviet times, it was said “There is no news in the Truth, and no truth in the News.”:)🙂

But they couldn’t do it, Jesus ascended to heaven in body and spirit. There is nothing of him left behind. Unless you count the Eucharist but good luck trying to extract DNA from the accidents.

The idea is that someone could use DNA from the blood on the Shroud of Turin, though this whole thing is really not to be taken seriously I think.

The blood on the Shroud of Turin is too fragmented, fractured. They were unable to blood type it, let alone, get any DNA.

I think, you’re right—not to be taken seriously.
 
Wow, that’s all I can say.

Now cloning Dolly the sheep was wrong, but even mentioning cloning Christ is on a whole other level of blasphemy.

Are you sure they were unable to blood type it? I heard it is blood type AB.

Both correct. It was Season 6, Episode 23, “Rightful Heir”

Here’s a link to the episode online: putlocker.com/file/1B20071DBBEAE8A5

And here’s a summary of it: en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Rightful_Heir_(episode

Enjoy! 😃

I actually watched this, since it had been so long, probably since the episode originally aired or a repeat episode before the series was canceled.

I enjoyed it, but the religious message especially at the end is a very bad one, especially considering the Christian parallels the writers must have foreseen viewers making. Christ’s words, apart from the actual man and the reality of the Paschal mystery and Christian eschatology, would be a load of sentimentality, presumption, and false hope.

Yes, I’m sure.

“Bloodstains on Shroud of Turin are real blood. Scientist after scientist have proven it is real blood. But no one, including a laboratory at SUNY, the State University of New York, has confirmed that the blood type is AB, as is often claimed.”

One of the shroud scholars (Habermas?) however, disclaims that very old blood will convert to AB whatever the blood type was in life.

That’s strange. I would have expected the opposite, that it would convert to type O blood as the proteins, or whatever they are, break down. That something present would become absent makes sense to me. But why would something absent become present? Are these molecules coincidentally produced during decomposition?
