BTW, I have two main concerns about the evidence of the Shroud of Turin. What do you think?

1. It shows a man way, way taller than the average man of the time.
2. It shows a man with long hair.

Anthropology tells us that the men of that era tended to be in the mid 5' x" range -- also that the Jews of that time and earlier had short hair (unlike Absalom).

In Scripture, Paul remonstrated about men having short hair. And as for height: Isaiah said that the "suffering servant" is not of notable appearance.

Fascinating knowledge of the torture and death of Christ displayed in that shroud, though. Also, the imaging....

And, you think Jesus was like everybody else because.....?
He was different, he preached a different message.
