How much would a piece of furniture built by Jesus Christ Himself be auctioned for?
say a fossilized table built by Jesus Christ was found, how much would it be auctioned for TODAY?

- You'd have to first prove that Jesus Christ historically existed. Something that no one has been able to do so far.
- millions but they no longer exist.
- He didnt exist, so zero dollars, besides even the stories dont make him a carpenter, Joseph was the carpenter
- 10 silver shekels.
- Not much, because it looks just like the stuff you get in Mexico.
- Priceless.
- 50 cents
- Probably not much. If he was any good as a carpenter he wouldn't have had to resort to being a con-man to get people to give him money.
- If such a thing existed, it would make the value of the Mona Lisa look like small change. Millionaire collectors all over the world would be after it (not to mention every museum and cathedral on the face of the planet). Whether atheists liked it or not, such an (authenticated) find would be instant headline news all around the world.
- The Greek word used for Joseph's and Jesus' profession is "tekton" (as in Matthew 13:55). This word means more like a general contractor, or craftsman. The Protoevangelium of James, which concerns the lives of Jesus’ parents, apparently identifies Joseph as a general contractor.
- Without documentation to back it up - other than the Bible - about $50 for a coffee table.
- My lord was a carpenter he put me back together mane.. i donno prolly millionss..
- It would be worth millions, if any piece of furniture survived that was attributed to Jesus. Especially if that object was signed! But strangely enough, not one house, not one outhouse, not one table, chair, or even a toothpick survives that was attributed to him. He must not have been a very good carpenter. When you think about all of the other relics from Jesus that "survived," such as blood, the Shroud of Turin, enough fragments of the True Cross to build a warehouse, nails from the True Cross, and even more than a dozen Jesus' foreskins were exhibited as relics in various churches of Europe more than 500 years ago (he must have had very unusual anatomy). Since so many items associated with him survived, it's interesting to note that noone even thought of preserving any of his woodworking projects.
- Probably 500 million to several billion dollars.
