or do you have to wait to the church verdict to believe?

I think it may very well be the shroud

I tend to believe that the shroud is in fact the same one that covered Jesus. Though carbon dating has shown the shroud to be from the 12-13th century, I believe the damage and heat that the shroud sustained resulted in a false carbon dating reading. It is way too remarkable to be considered an artistic forgery, in my opinion. Additionally, the shroud has been run under a NASA device which denotes the three-dimensional display in the cloth proving that it covered somebody. It is definitely a very intriguing subject.

No, I don't believe that the shroud of Turin ever touched Jesus.
Burial rituals of the time did not include a cloth such as the shroud of Turin.
The burial clothes of Jesus would have been wrapped tightly around and saturated with spices, ointments, and resins that would have hardened over time.

I do believe.
Who would keep a shroud that was stolen from a dead guy? Obviously, it was left behind. Church verdict? I don't know what you mean. The church can show the way, but Christ is the Way. The man established the church, so ...wait a minute...I"m getting dizzy. Tell me first, what or whom the church is found upon, then say to me, the church tells me...What if someone left Earth long ago, but said he would return, but knew it would be a while, so he left a memento of himself, incase we forgot....isn't that what you would do?

I'll say 'probably'. The image is scorched into the linen. It's only on the surface of the fibers. That technology simply wasn't availabl in medieval times. Also, the fire during the Middle Ages probably 'reset' the carbon 14 clock, so that test is useless. Pollen found on the Shroud has been identified as indiginous to Palestine. This does not add up to 100% proof, but it IS fairly convincing, at least to me.

The Church never said it was the imprint of Jesus' face. The shroud is kept in a convent as a memento and not as a sacred object.

I think the shroud is only about eight hundred years old, so no, it is definitly not Jesus.

I think it is possible,I have never seen it,but it was damaged in a fire,that may hurt it.I do not need a church to validate,I would love
to see it for myself.I firmly believe in Jesus,so it would never change my views.
