Is the Shroud of Turin Legitimate?
The Shroud of Turin is a Fake, If You Believe the King James Bible
There you have the truth of it. Jesus Christ's head was wrapped with a napkin, a separate piece of cloth from the linen clothes. Therefore, the Shroud of Turin is a fake as it is a single piece of cloth.
As a separate note, I've been told that the napkin held great significance for Christ's Jewish followers. When the master of the house left the table while dining, a crumpled napkin signified he was finished, so his servant could clear the table. However, a neatly folded napkin meant that the master would return to the table. Thus, to those familiar with this Jewish custom, the napkin "wrapped together in a place by itself" meant that Jesus Christ was coming back. Glory to God, I anxiously await that moment.
Don't put your faith in signs and wonders, or you will be deceived. Put your faith in Jesus and accept him as your saviour today.

Post a CommentI agree with you. The shroud was a meager attempt to do one of two things, either provide doubtful followers with hard core proof or it was an attempt to gain a little gold in the name of religion. Many people even today are still suckered into buying items intended to make their faith stronger. Many such items are peddled within divers sancuaries across our land. Remember what Jesus did to those selling animals in the temple. He drove them out as well as all of the merchandise and said that God's house was to be a house of prayer not a den of thieves. There lies the real purpose of such relics, money from the naive and power over the masses.
bet your life sure? I didn't think so. We must not cling to sign and wonders.
That should be *holy relics*, sorry.
Um, actually the Shroud of Turin was proven a fake due to carbon dating. There was a thriving market in hoy relics back in the middle ages, when the shroud was made.
The Shroud of Turin and other material items some choose to use in worship are all frauds. It is not mentioned in the Bible. What is in the Bible are the words telling us to walk by faith and not by sight. A heads up, however -- the King James Bible is not the ultimate source. Recall Jesus didn't speak the King's English. Neither do we.
There is actually a traveling shroud of Turin here in Philadelphia. It's at Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Check out ukrecathedral.com or philashroud.org
Don't you think some radical will try to clone a Jesus from the dna on the shroud and call it the second coming. My imagination runs wild! LOL Good article.
I consider it a "fake" in that it is not the burial shroud of Christ for the reason stated. With all the deaths by crucifixion, the body could have been any criminal.
Interesting viewpoint. I think the Shroud is real, but not that Jesus was wrapped in it...no one can fake the age of the linen and the blood stains. :)
I think that your comments on my Is This The Real Face of Jesus? was so true to the mark, that after reading this, I must admit that I agree with you, particularly after the comment about the head wrapping as in Jewish custom. In my article, I never actually stated that the Shroud was authentic and that my conclusion was that does the Shroud increase my faith? I said NO. My faith does not depend upon external, physical evidence like the Shroud. Faith is the gift of God and that not of myself. So my compliments to you. I should have concluded whether I thought the Shroud was authentic or not, which I failed to do and have regretted my not doing so. Just goes to show you I am not a finished product, but thank God that my faith is not dependent upon science, but upon God Himself. Well done friend. My sincere compliments Wiley.
