Thank you.
There was no "graphic artist". This has been proven, scientifically.
Not true. For any logical, reasoning person the shroud is evidence of the truth of Jesus Christ. The Bible is first hand account evidence. The miracles that Christ did were evidence that He was God’s only begotten son. God uses evidence to convince those who are willing to be convinced. The shroud has been used by The LORD to help some come to Him. It also can strengthen and stir up the faith of those who already believe. God, in His grace, left us the shroud, which is in all actuality undisputable evidence of the death and resurrection of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ. For this I thank Him and I do not doubt nor belittle this action that obviously only He has orchestrated.
Sorry, if one won’t believe in the Lord, the shroud/Shroud itself carries no meaning.
It was the folly of the Garden (as I have been telling people dozens of times) that one can “reason” to anything worthwhile, including the Lord (especially the Lord).
A direct presentation of the Lord is needed. That is what the Holy Bible tells us the Holy Spirit does.
Because, ma’am, reasoning needs premises.
Otherwise you might as well talk about bookkeeping without a single penny to track.
The Story of the Shroud is a continually unfolding story which confounds the claims of the skeptics as it continues to verify itself into the darkest days of the Catholic Church and Christianity in general, in the face of Islamist attacks and corrosion from within, in the very heart of the Catholic Church and in the entirety of Christianity.
If Christ himself appeared before the products of a skeptical age, they would reject Him as a fraud. Little surprise they continue to reject the reality of the Shroud.
