Looks like Jesus to me. Are there any other photos we can compare it to? :-)
I’m convinced it is the face of Christ, imprinted for us to have one more sign of God’s incarnation among us.
“Jesus therefore said to him, ‘Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.’” (John (RSV) 4:48)
“For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,” (1Corinthians (RSV) 1:22-23)

This seems to be a report on an original article posted before:

I’d suggest making comments at the original post.
Negatives:
Didn’t a guy by the name of Douglas Wilson show a couple of years ago how the shroud could have been a made? I think he was a pastor or something in Idaho at the time.
There will always be believers and disbelievers.
Just as there will always be Truthers that believe 911 was faked.
I have Faith that the cloth is real.That Jesus Christ was the son of God and that Mary was virgin.
If others do not have Faith, that is their problem.
What is fascinating about what is seen on the shroud is that it is a pixel image (made up of dots) with a resolution 5 times higher than the best commercial laser printer and it contains 3-D information. Also, the image is not formed by any dye, ink paint or burning, as the cloth fiber itself DOES NOT CONTAIN THE IMAGE! The image is formed only on the thin layer of soapwort which was left on the surface when the cloth was washed and dried during its manufacture. The pixels that create the image are spots of the soapwort that have been darkened by some unknown process, but the underlying fabric is completely unaffected. What is also amazing is that the image is on BOTH sides of the fabric. It is more visible on one side because there was more soapwort residue on that side, the side that was away from the sun as it was laid out to dry when the cloth was initially manufactured.
I see the Democrat trolls have now arrived at Free Republic.
The Turin Shroud always seemed to to be too elaborate for a Mdieval forgery. There were many holy relics in those days that were by today’s
understanding would be laughable in their crudeness, but in their day were regarded as genuine. A Medieval forger would have had no reason to make a forgery that defies 21st century science to explain how it was made and could have used a crude fake just as effectively. I doubt anyone during the time suggested by the carbon dating could even concieved let alone created the Shroud’s image. Is it the real burial shroud of Jesus? There really can be no proof ...the image is just unexplainable.
Cool
thanks for posting and Merry Christmas.
If someone is a fan of the Shroud of Turin can you call them a “Shroudie”? Just askin’.
