First, the shroud is not the Bible. Second, it is impossible to prove this shroud is the one that covered Jesus.

Why are some folks so fixated on what Jesus looked like in human form anyway? That was not why He came.

No one is suggesting that the "Shroud" is the "Bible".

Can you prove that the Shroud is not the one that covered Jesus? There are no other surviving shrouds from that period. The Crucified One whose image appears on this shroud has puncture wounds surrounding His head. As far as we know, Jesus is the only person crucified, wearing a crown of thorns that would have formed these puncture wounds.

This thread is a discussion ... period. No one is suggesting that you MUST believe the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
