For those who believe, no poof is needed, for those who do not believe, no proof is enough.

That’s not true at all.

I went to a three and a half day seminar on The Shroud. It convinced me it is real and not some Medieval fake.

Can I get on s list for updates on this?

[MrEdd]

An excellent and accurate point.

Luke 16:31 comes to mind.

[Montana_Sam]

John 10:14 I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me. 15 As the Father knows me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. 16 And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd. 17 Therefore does the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No man takes it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Thanks for the thoughtful post, ebb tide.

Why is the Church not weighing in on the authenticity of the Shroud?

[The_Media_never_lie]

That’s not true at all.

Prove its not true.

In my mind. Evidence beyond any reasonable doubt - certainly. Thank you for the post

[raygunfan]

good stuff

[dinodino]

What a ridiculous statement.

[scrabblehack]

It’s possible to believe in Jesus without believing the Shroud is authentic. A former pastor of mine thought that Jesus didn’t look like that (Judas had to kiss him in order for the Romans to know who he was).

34 thousand billion watts? You would think the cloth would catch fire, no?

[scrabblehack]

oops...this is Catholic caucus...please strike my previous post. I’m a lapsed Catholic.

In the church called ‘Santa Croce in Gerusalemme’ in Rome, there is a side room. In that room there is a computerized, full-size exact replica of the entire Shroud. You can peruse all of it from 3 feet away.

Studying it just in that way was a staggering experience.

Not to nitpick, but that does not agree with scripture. Thomas disbelieved until he actually touched the wounds on the body of the risen Christ. Only then did he believe completely.

The question I have about the shroud is that it appears to be a 2-D image rather than a 3-D image that would happen if it was actually wrapped around a body. The proportions look like what would be represented in a photo or painting or other flat object. So why aren’t the features significantly wider in proportion to the height, to account for the curvature of the body?

A small test we can all perform: Run a piece of string from one ear across the face to the other ear and mark it. Then put the string horizontally on a mirror and stand back and look at your own head in proportion to the length of the string. the string will be wider than the distance between your ears as viewed in the mirror.

Caveat - I’m not a scientist and I know there are a whole lot of FReepers smarter than I am, so if there’s a reason for proportions of the face on the shroud looking 2-dimensional, I’d be interested in learning about it.
