The Shroud of Turin is centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a man who appears to have been crucified.
It is believed by millions to be Jesus of Nazareth.
Various tests have been performed by modern science on the shroud, yet it's still the subject of intense debate about its origin:
Where, when, and how the shroud and the images were created.
Most believe it is the linen cloth used for covering Jesus body in the tomb and that the images were printed during the resurrection.

What do you think of this?

funny, my husband came to bed last nite and said I recorded a show you'll be interested in, on the shroud of the Turin...(funny how it works like that sometimes) Anyway I said so what do they think its a fake? He said on the show they stated that some parts had been patched at a later date and the patches were actually tested and further testing determined it could be real... hmmmm... I'm thinking the person in possession of it would love it to be real... Anyway I'll watch today & see what they say.

I do not care if it's real or not. What really matters is what people DO.
Acts 1:12-14 says that after Jesus ascended to Heaven, the disciples and others went to Jerusalem into the Upper Room for prayer. Note that they did not stay where Jesus ascended. They did not build an altar nor anything in that very place. Instead, they went where Jesus told them to go. Jesus told them to WAIT. He didn't tell them what to do in the meanwhile. So, they prayed.
Luke 24:51-53 said that the disciples worshipped Jesus after He ascended to Heaven. THEN they returned to Jerusalem where they was "continually in the temple, praising and blessing God."

People today, especially Catholics, flock by the tens of thousands, hundreds and thousands of miles just to see "Jesus" in a grilled cheese sandwich. Others actually believe that Mary came almost 900 years ago and promised that if people wore HER scapular at the time of death that they would not see Hell.

It doesn't matter to me wether the shroud is real or not. Let's not idolize it, ok?

I think this thread is about the Shroud, not meant to devolve into a 'look what Catholics do' session. For crying out loud, this thread has involved "Jesus in toast' more then I thought was statistically probable given the actual subject at hand.

But yes, it is more important what people do.

I watched a documentary once on the Shroud of Turin, and I think it's highly possible the image is authentic. The conclusion reached by some recent historins was that the image was probably imprinted by an extremely powerful form of energy, as if shafts of light had been expelled from every pore of Jesus' body when he was resurrected by the Father. It's an interesting theory, to say the very least.

Personally I think it's a fake however, as many scientists are now realizing, carbon dating is far from an exact science.

I think it's nothing but a fake used by Satan to get people to worship it, which many do. As with most if not all of the so called ''relics' of the Romanists.'

Romanist is seen as a derogatory term (so is Papist) and is considered offensive by Catholics such as myself. I would ask you to please speak about my brothers and sisters with the respect that you would want me to speak about you and your Church. I call you Baptist. I call you Christian. I ask you to please not call us 'Romanists.' Besides, all Catholics are not even of the Roman Rite. Most are, but there are also Chaldean Catholics, Byzantine Catholics, etc and it is inaccurate and offensive to call them 'Romanists." All I ask is plain courtesy. Peace.

Again, whatever denomination you are with, if you believe in your works to be saved and/or to remain saved you believed a false gospel. I'm not going to make blanket statements about pentecostal, catholic, etc......But I will expose any false doctrine they adhere and preach. If anyone thinks they are saved based upon their works they are dead in their sins....

This thread is still about the Shroud of Turin, not Catholics, not Pentecostals, not Baptists, not Presbyterians, not Methodists, etc; nor is is about works/faith. It has somehow devolved from the original point and been made an oppritunity to criticize others.

I think the Shroud is great. If it is truly the burial Shroud of our Lord, then I think it deserves a place of recognition in the eyes of Christians everywhere. If it is merely an elaborate work of art, then I think it is still an important testimony to the human desire to see Our Lord, to see the one who took on our nature in all but sin, and to dedicate the time and effort to create an image conveying in a simply way the truth of the death and resurrection of the Lord. Think of it as The Passion of the Christ for people who never lived to see movies. Real or not, many people have seen this and it has promted them to desire a deeper faith in the Lord. Like any relic ought to, it stands as a testament to Christ, a reminder to the believer, and a nudge to a deeper understanding of the faith in our Risen Lord.
