Now that the shroud of Turin has been proven authentic as the burial cloth of Jesus, how does that impact you?

Question

In the recent documentary entitled FABRIC OF LIFE it stated that the flowers in the cloth were from Jerusalem. Also the coins under the eyelids were coinage at Jesus time.
The necklace around the neck spelled ABBA.

Answer 1

The shroud is authentic, but not in your way. The incredible detail around the neck and ankles is uncanny. It could not have been a burial shroud or burned on because of this. Also, water has been thrown on it, so it cannot be a painting. The shroud is a sign that Jesus is within us. Tests have shown the shroud is a "negative" put with energy. Be care full, because there are atheists who cannot be happy with our faith in Jesus Christ. God Bless :)

Answer 2

Not even the article you cite tries to claim that the shroud has been proven anything, let alone authentic.

The pro-shrouders had the chance to prove their point--they were the ones demanding carbon-dating and had no problem with c-14 dating being the final say until the tests didn't go their way.

Both science AND the Bible say the shroud is not the burial cloth of Christ--it's one of the few things science and scripture DO agree on.

Answer 3

The Catholic Encyclopedia dis-agrees. “There is no evidence of a shroud during the first centuries of the Christian era,” says the New Catholic Encyclopedia. In 544 C.E., an image reputedly not made with human hands turned up at Edessa, a location in modern-day Turkey. The image was said to depict the face of Jesus. In 944 C.E., it was claimed that the image was in Constantinople. Most historians, however, don’t believe this was what is now known as the Shroud of Turin.

Answer 4

The shroud of taurin was dated to the middle ages (approx. 1200AD).

At no time was it proven to be authentic.

Putting coins over someone's eyes was not a practise at the time of Jesus' burial, and Jesus wasn't known to wear a necklace reading "ABBA".

I'm not sure how you think any of that is eidence, but whatever.

Answer 5

First...the shroud of Turin has not been proven to be authentic...it is still just a "guess"

Here is a question for you. If you were a friend of Christ's or a family member of Christ, and had been there when Christ died, and you took him down from the cross and wrapped Him up in a shroud for a temporary burial in a borrowed grave.....would YOU have wrapped Him up with that nasty, thorn "crown" that was pressing into His precious head, causing the blood to stream down His face, or would you have, through your tears, removed that "crown" and tossed it as far away from Him as you could.

The shroud of Turin shows the "crown" still pressed into that precious skull. It is not logical that those who loved Him so much would have buried Him with that hideous twisted piece of mockery still on His head.

So the shroud of Turin is nothing more than a MOCKERY of Christ.

Answer 6

I understand the carbon dating that was done several years back was on a portion of the shroud that had been patched. However, it hasn't been proven authentic, not yet.

Answer 7

Umm. In my slight study of the matter, it has been proven to date from the late middle ages. So I guess it proves that people like you will resort to deception to forward you agenda.

I appreciate the link, I didn't have that infomation before. While proving nothing about the shroud other than that debate goes on, it does prove my point about liers who say things like "proven authentic" based on an article that "renew's.. debate."

Answer 8

Cannot you even read? Your link does not prove the shroud authentic. Just some loon making claims its real.

Answer 9

I do not believe it to be authentic because it doesn't conform to the description of the burial clothes in the gospels.

Answer 10

Uh, could I get your source on that since it's been known to be dated from the middle ages for a long time now.
