So many people are trying to prove and disprove the Shroud of Turan to be Authentic and be the cloth used to shroud Jesus in the tomb. Let me help all you educated degreed people with a few simple things.
1.) There is no, I repeat NO history that links this to ANYONE let alone Jesus other than here say and wishful thinking.
2.) The image on the cloth, although depicting a figure we commonly refer to as the classic Jesus image, IT IS NOT JESUS! Why do I know this? Because Jesus was a Nazarene and at one point, the Nazarenes cut their hair and beards and did not wear long hair and beards anymore.
3.) Also, they can’t even decide how old it is in the first place. The fire that happened further confused the situation and now they can’t even agree on when the fire occurred.
4.) Now for a couple of basic Biblical principles. NOT DOCTRINAL or DOGMATIC, but Biblical.
a. Jesus said an “Evil and Adulterous generation will seek after a sign and none will be given them.” This was in relation to the coming of Jesus and proof of the existence of God. Therefore, as said here, if God is giving no proof of his existence as Christianity is a faith based religion, IT IS NOT JESUS!
b. The bible says that many things are left in this world to confound the wise. The reason is to force us to rely on faith as commanded so our true works will come forward as righteous and not through knowing conscience. It must be by faith. IT IS NOT OF JESUS!
So many of these things are revered and held up as relics of faith and worshipped even, prayed over and many other things which is short of idol worship. It is also written that these things are not of God but of the Devil as they are here to betray the righteous. Furthermore, the bible states NO MAN MAY KNOW THE FUTURE. Therefore the Lady of Fatima is not of God and was not prophetic as if we can know the future, why would God send Mary to speak to children and have them tell us prophecies of the future? EXACTLY!
Either the bible is the base for Christianity or it isn’t. Pieces cant be right and pieces be wrong or the faith is ridiculous and incomplete and thus a hoax all together.
You must believe on faith and if you use the bible as your faith based text, The shroud, stigmata, prophecies other than the bible, psychics, lady of Fatima all of it is fake, of the devil or good intentioned Christians not understanding their bible fully.
The shroud is not of God. If it is, then we were lied to in the bible and our belief system is not faith based and is a sham. Because it will fully contradict what is stated by God and Jesus all through the books of the bible no matter what doctrine you follow.
Just my opinion but it is an educated one. Even if it isn’t college based education.
