I’ve been corresponding via internet with Barrie S. since he first started his Shroud website. His emails keep me up with any new information/articles.
One of the reasons I find B.S. credible regarding The Shroud is that he went into the original 1978 study without any opinion on it’s authenticity - but followed the evidence as it presented itself. A rare man.
I know Barrie too. . . I've met him at several Shroud symposia, talked with him over dinner a couple of times, and also correspond with him via email.
Berney Sanders, like Nicodemus , both had honest doubts in which God would never condemn so as long your heart is seeking the truth.
Doubts come from the mind, seeking truth comes from the heart.
Berney Sanders is a Jew like the unreligious gentile meeting Jesus for the first time.
I do believe that Berney will eventually become a born again Christian through this experience.
