I'm not against the Shroud in the least, in fact at one time I believed it. However after studying the scriptures, I found JESUS did not have a burial cloth. The linen clothing is just that clothing, and is in NO way, especially in that day, considered a burial cloth. I think it would be wise of you to take another look at the Shroud, upon observation you'll see it is not clothing. I might suggest you study the clothing of His day.

The Shroud covered the face, and shows an imprint of a face. Clothing does not cover the face, and if you take a look at John 20:7, it was a napkin that covered his face.

What we have today are more doctrines and traditions of men, than what the bible truly teaches us. Let's let go of the false and fraudulent. Let's stick to facts of the scriptures. John 20:7

Which Bible did you find that in? The original Greek refers to "othonia", which are "grave cloths", not clothes. These grave cloths consisted of a "sindon" - a "shroud", and a "sudarion", - cloth used on the head, translated as "napkin." There may have been other binding cloths used to tie the arms and legs together in repose. None of these words imply in the least "clothing."

If you like, I can post the actual Gospel accounts in Koinic Greek (Anglicized for posting) that shows this. All other versions of the Bible are translations of this original Greek. This is the source material and the closest in meaning to what actually happened.

Joseph of Arimathea bought a SHROUD, a "sindon", not clothing. No scholarship has ever shown that Jewish burials included DRESSING the dead in clothes. Most poor people did get only a face covering cloth... but Jesus was treated as a RICH man by a RICH man and was buried in a Shroud.
