It just doesn’t jive with what the Bible says. And, not that I believe in the efficacy of carbon dating, but the Shroud can’t be dated properly, either.
The important point is that I believe Jesus was resurrected from the dead; that He is come in the flesh.
And no one needs the Shroud of Turin for salvation. But the Lord says “heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Word is Eternal”...
So I must take what the Bible says over the Shroud.
Have I said that “one needs the Shroud for salvation? No, I have not.
Let me ask you this: If the Shroud IS the real thing, who made the image on it. The answer to that question is the image was made by Jesus Christ, at the moment of His Ressurection. In other words, God made it. . . and left it for us for a very important reason and that reason is to testify to the fact of the Resurrection. Some have called it the fifth Gospel of Jesus Christ.
