What!? Why? Did you read the linked article in the OP. Why on Earth would Jesus or his father own such a table?
Jesus, aka God, was a carpenter back then.
Can you imagine a super entity like Jesus being a carpenter?

Obviously, his work must have been so superhumanly good that no other carpenter would find any work in the city.

So any table from that period obviously must have been made by Joseph & Son's Carpenter Company (tm).
I mean seriously, if you lived in Jeruzalem in that period and were in the market for new furniture, why wouldn't you have it build by the company of which the carpenter is literally God in the flesh?

This is the guy that drew the plans for the biggest wooden boat ever which survived the most apocalyptic seastorm in history. Just think about how sturdy and exact such a measuring table must have been! The fact that it survived so long to be discovered 2000 years later is further proof of its superhuman build quality.


Checkmate, atheists!

Oh oh! You did not read the article either. A "measuring table" had nothing to do with carpentry. It was a table of standardized weights and measures. Using it allowed a purchaser to be confident that he had bought a liter of Roman Coca Cola or four cups of Greek Trix.

Rats, foiled.

IF they do find a table made to infinite precision*
I will get religion real fast.

*one of our less well grounded contributors holds that
the "molten sea" of Kings was in fact made to 30
by 10 cubits, exactly, to an infinite number of decimal places.

Coa the bible says 30, and there arent no approximations
in His book.

I saw the picture and could immediately see Jesus using that as a base for a coffee table, perhaps a burled walnut top, polished to perfection.

Then you have no clue as to what you are talking about. Read the article. Don't merely look at pretty pictures and then jump to inane conclusions.

I read the article and I still say it would make a wonderful base for a coffee table, and I bet Jesus thought so too.

Unlike Jesus, you have no concept of creativity.

I can see Jesus idly strolling through the Jerusalem market, noticing the table and saying: "Wow! This would make a great coffee table. Too bad coffee won't be invented for several more centuries... Oh lord, why was I born in the wrong century?" :rolleyes::D

Apparently coffee tables didn't come about until the 1600's.

But the Bible tells us that they did have coffee in Jesus’ time.
