No one can ever prove this is the shroud that covered Jesus. The grant money and other money making opportunities will go on forever.
Scripture calls it a "napkin".
I don't believe the shroud is real
Nobody says you need extra-biblical miracles to have faith (although, to be a Christian, one is required to believe that miracles occur). But God sends them anyway.
It’s a very interesting thing. Scientists thought they had it whipped with the first test, but they tested a piece of added material.
But that’s not the real problem for scientists. They are flummoxed by how the image was put on the cloth. It does not penetrate the cloth at all, like paint or any other added substance would. It sits on top of the fibers without entering them. They can’t explain it except to say it may have been caused by a sudden powerful burst of light which lasted for a VERY short period of time.
It’s...interesting.
The evidence is overwhelming that the Shroud was the burial cloth of Jesus and in fact records His Resurrection.
There are many good Shroud sites but the best IMO is:
https://theshroudofturin.blogspot.com/
This site is not organized for easy comprehension, but fairly and scrupulously covers every aspect of Shroud research. You need to look. It is just plain fascinating.
The central FACT of human Earthly existence is the historical reality of Jesus and all that implies.
The Shroud is a beautiful gift from God, a gift reserved especially for modern man.
I respect those Christians who are anxious to dispute the authenticity of the Shroud. I have heard all the reasons and disagree. God bless you for your pov.
I am simply happy that God has opened my mind and heart to the special gift of the Shroud.
all of THAT is after the fact of women levitating the body to set it down on top of a long cloth that is then folded over from head to foot,,, or foot to head
# 4: well said!
Have you looked at all the available evidence?:
Scripture calls it a "napkin"
The Shroud is purportedly the "burial cloth" of Jesus. The "napkin" was a separate piece of cloth, probably the one used to bind up the jaw of the dead person (John 20:7).
This shroud stuff belongs in a carnival sideshow.
There’s a pilgrimage church in Rome that has many relics. It also has a full size computer generated image of the Shroud, backlit from both sides.
It is an amazing image to stand before and contemplate.
The church is amazing too. It’s original parts are from around 400 AD. It was built to house the relics that St. Helen collected and brought back to Rome.
You are free to your personal opinion, of course, but a simple assertion does not engage the available proffered facts surrounding the issue at question.
None of the Shroud dissenters ever showed how the image was formed nor can they explain the negative image centuries before photography was invented.
Well stated. Thank you.
There are two cloths. The body wrapping one (shroud) and that which is wrapped around the head to hold the jaw up. The latter is the "napkin" referred to. Scripture notes that the napkin was placed separately from the shroud.
And a snaky insult at believers.
Free to believe what you wish, no one disputes that, however, a rational expression of your stance is best received when stated logically, dispassionately and with respect.
"Faith is the substance of the things hoped for, the eviddence of thinhs unseen"Heb. 11:1 AV).That is why the regeneerate servant of God and Jesus Friend never seeks such a temporal artifact, because faith stands alone on nothing except Jesus and His Word.
Occupation with the Sh of T is pure idolatry. a Satanic pursuit, IMHO.
They historically found where Jesus was born, where Jesus was crucified and where Jesus was buried. Good enough for me.
I dont need my faith to be confirmed if they found the place where Jesus hung out for milkshakes and fries when he was 20 years old.
"regerred" = referred
"Faith is the substance of the things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen" (Heb. 11:1 AV).
