Solved! Who Was Joseph Of Arimathea? How he was related to Jesus.

[EclipseEventSigns]

Just who was Joseph of Arimathea? All four of the Gospel writers include him in their narrative describing the crucifixion of Messiah Jesus. He’s there for a couple of verses and then just as quickly he disappears from the story.
• We will discover exactly why this individual could suddenly appear and be given possession of the corpse of Jesus to do with it as he pleased.
• We will investigate the location of Arimathea – a city, some experts say, is supposedly lost to history.
• We will solve one of the biggest mysteries of the New Testament – the supposed corruption of the genealogy found in Matthew.
• And how do the assigned jobs for the Levitical priests described in the Old Testament lead us to uncover a reveal about Mary, the mother of Jesus – something no one has yet recognized in modern Church history.

I've honestly never given any serious thought to this guy until I saw your post. And watched the video.
Here's all I can find about him:

Role of Joseph of Arimathea
The Gospels all report that Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Matthew affirms that Joseph owned the tomb in which Jesus was laid (Matt 27:60). According to Mark, Joseph was “himself waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God” (Mark 15:43). Luke repeats this phrase and adds that he was a “good and righteous man” who had not agreed to the plan or action of his fellow Sanhedrists (Luke 23:50–51). Matthew and John independently attest that Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but John adds, “though a secret one because of his fear of the Jewish leaders” (Matt 27:57; John 19:38). Matthew states further that Joseph was a rich man (Grass, Ostergeschehen, 173–76). Each of the Gospels also narrate that Joseph then took down the body of Jesus and carried it away. (This does not necessitate that Joseph himself ascended the ladder and pulled out the nails.)

Because that's all the Bible says about him, lol.

Nothing to "solve" and "reveal" like a tabloid headline.

And your point is?

I think he's saying that The OP May be a little overly dramatic. But what do I know?

Those with open minds find out the hidden treasures God put in the Scripture. Those that aren't interested never appreciate these things.
In this day of drive-by facts and pop-tart Bible study, you have to stoop to their level somewhat. But that doesn't mean this stuff won't blow your mind once you look into for yourself.

And actually these mysteries ARE essential to the faith of people. Some have used the math error in Matthew's genealogy to give up Christianity altogether because if there is a glaring error like that, then the whole Bible is suspect. Pretty important stuff.

Oh I'm definitely interested. I know it's above my pay grade but I'm still interested.

There's your "key" to the secrets.

[Pro 25:2 LSB] It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

This thread is to discuss the topic. Not to ridicule me for posting the topic. If you have answers to these "problems" in Scripture, then have at it. What's your view on how they should be solved?

It's been a month. Has no one investigated the sources for themselves? Where are the Bereans among us?
