The scholar recalls that “The Shroud contains no traces of putrescent liquids or gases (these marks start to appear about 40 hours after the person’s death, so the body had disappeared from the shroud before then[.]

Two errors here. First, Ps.16:10 says that his body did not see decay, so forensic evidence of decay would not exist at any time interval. Second, the first errant assumption leads to a false timeline of forty hours or less. Christ died, descended into hell and rose again on the third day; seventy two hours. Other than that, interesting.

72 hours? If He died at 12 noon on Friday and showed back up at 12 noon on Sunday, he would have been gone 48 hours. Thus “on the third day” rather than “after 3 days”.

From a late Friday afternoon or early evening (before sundown and the beginning of the Sabbath - they needed to rush to shroud the body and lay it into the tomb) to early Sunday morning is under 40 hours. The “third day” phrase does not imply a full 72 hour time span.

The body was in rigor mortis, but not putrefaction....the body of the man in the Shroud. He had, therefore, been dead for more than 24 hours but less than 72 hours. What an interesting...........coincidence. Ahem.

[DManA]

What error? The scholar confirms Ps 16:10. No evidence of decay found.
