True, but the author here gets into pertinent details beyond CNN.
No, he adds to the Bible things that are not there, things he imagines are there, things he assumes are there, and interpolates things that the Bible just does not say to make his argument. He confuses his assumptions for facts. . . and testimony for "physical evidence" where, if the Shroud and the Sudarium are legitimate, they would be the only actual physical evidence.
The Bible ends with a very strong and explicit admonition to not add anything to it. This blogger/author did indeed add to the Bible things that are simply not there to bolster his position.
Revelation
18: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:19: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Just look at the various word choices the translators chose for the "face cloth" you even posted in the previous thread going from handkerchief, to napkin, when the actual word "Sudarium" (Latin. sudarion Greek) was easily translateable as sweatcloth, a typical article of apparel worn even in the Arab world today around the forehead to keep sweat from dripping into one’s eyes. . . yet most English language Biblical translators lived in northern climates where such things are unnecessary among the intelligencia, and were therefore unknown to them, hence translating sudarion as items relating to small cloths they’d be familiar with.
Using "handkerchief" or "napkin" or even "face cloth" creates assumptions in the minds of people which limits the use to a standard handkerchief size cloth (12" by 12" to 18" by 18") could be put, essentially just laid over the face and not tied around it for a functional purpose, while the already functional sudarion could easily be repurposed to be used as a binding to wrap around the face to keep the jaw closed in death.
