The Shroud Of Turin: Is This The Face Of Jesus The Christ? by V7place(m): 12:31pm On Dec 06, 2020
The Shroud of Turin is one of the most compelling artifacts on Earth; its believed by some to be one of the greatest forgeries that exist; but by many more to be one of the most compelling evidence of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.

Its believed to be the cloth used to wrap Jesus after the crucifixion; apparently so much power was used to raise the Christ from the dead ( Ephesians 1: 19-20); it left an imprint of his face and body on the cloth. The cloth now known as the Shroud of Turin has several compelling evidences to support this:

1) It has human blood stains.
2) The blood stains coincide with the points where a man would have been crucified ( palms, feet) including bleed from the head indicating the bibilical account of a crown on the head of the Master.
3) The cloth was discovered to have dna of a seed of a certain plant that not only grows in the area around Jerusalem, but has not being grown like that in over 1500 years.

The Vatican which retains possession of it, has not allowed much testing in order not to let too many hands touch it. At a point in time, when it did allow testing, the news spread that it was found to be a fake. The scientists had tested a part of the cloth and found it to be about 500 years old, not 2000 years old which it should be if it was from the time of the crucifixion. But apparently, the part that was tested was a portion that was sown onto it in the 1500s after a fire had almost destroyed the shroud in the year 1532.

In the 1970s, the Shroud of Turin Research Project said the markings on the cloth were consistent with a crucified body and that the stains were real human blood. In 1988, one group of scientists said their analysis showed the shroud originated between 1260 and 1390, while another said their analysis showed it originated between 300 B.C. and A.D. 400. In 2018, researchers used forensic techniques to argue the blood stains on the shroud couldn’t have come from Christ.

Present Consensus: its not a fake, but no evidence to truly test it unless the Vatican releases it for full testing.

People who believe the authenticity of the shroud point to the marks of blood on it.

The most important thing is that Christ has risen and he is sitting at the right hand of the Father.

The resurrected Christ is to be more researched than the crucified Christ.

From the thieves who designed this cloth, to the stupid Christians who believe this nonsnese... They shall all pay for what they did to the REAL people of the book below the Sarah-Haran (Sahara) desert.

Obadiah 10-11
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.


Joel 3:5-7
[5]Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
[6]The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
[7]Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
