“Name one person who needed/needs the Shroud to confirm his/her faith.” - Steve86
To quote Jesus, “It is not the healthy who need a physician.”
If it makes anyone take a second look at the TRUTH and ETERNAL LIFE, I’m thinking it’s good thing.
Yes, I agree; that must be part of God’s plan.
Still, are there really that many proto-Christians who go through life sitting on the fence until one day they discover a confirming relic then it’s ALL IN? That’s what I am skeptical about. Or that their faith would weaken and die if any particular relic turned out to be inauthentic.
