One of the biggest enigmas of our age I’d say. Foundation for the miraculous and Christian belief system.
It is looking more and more like it is an authentic artifact from the time of Jesus’ death...with an inexplicable image embedded into it. That really shakes up the reality map of some people.
Yes I’d say it worth out time and investment without a doubt.
Sorry the shroud has zero to do with my faith, and while I can't speak for others, I suspect it has zero to do with theirs.
It is rather interesting, but it should not much affect one’s belief system either way. It would be nice if this relic indicated that Jesus was resurrected (I don’t see how a relic can prove anything, however). I do think the Roman Catholic and Eastern churches make too much of relics, because this this can be abused to distract people from things more important. I am not saying every such thing is abused, just that there is a real danger of abuse. Some Protestants have the same problem, selling prayer cloths that are supposed to heal people, etc. Not that I put the Shrowd at the same level as what some fake preacher is selling.
Ahhhh....no. Christian faith doesn’t need any supposed relics, real or fake, as a foundation. God’s Word provides the foundation and the real enigma is why anyone today would spend their time pursuing such things.
“It is looking more and more like it is an authentic artifact from the time of Jesus’ death...”
Or...
It’s a cotton fake
It’s a linen fake that has been repaired
The author if this article is full of s**t
or... lots of other possibilities
The Bible is the foundation for the Christian faith, not some phony cloth with an obscure image on it, regardless of how old it is.
I agree. Blessed are those who believe without seeing, but for those who need more, should we turn our back on opportunities?
