Shroud of Turin—real or fake, and why?

Of Course, Yes it does matter.

Both in Old Testament and New Testament we are repeated;y warned about false signs and wonders. In fact the Man of Lawlessness will use many false signs and wonders. And in the world we already have many false signs and wonders, one being the Shroud of Turin. And with all these false signs and wonders most believers remain adamant there is yet no Man of Lawlessness.

Can you spot the Man of Lawlessness??????

Exodus 20:4-5 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Pope bows and prays before the Shroud of Turin

As someone who would love to know what Jesus looked like, i am aware of the shroud of Turin since it's been the most studied object and i do know that it's not a piece of cloth from 2000 years ago.
But, today there's some news on this which says that it is 2000 years old based on x-ray methods which can give an estimate on time.

Personally, i think they want to hype this up because they want it back on the news because the method is not accurate at all.

It seems that way. The Catholic Church believes that it is authentic, but they have always promoted relics.

My main objection is that it does not match scripture. Isaiah says that the face of Jesus was disfigured more than any man. I had a friend who went through the windscreen of his car. I was shocked at his appearance. Jesus was worse than that. The shroud does not reflect that.

Isaiah 52:14 “Just as there were many who were appalled at him – his appearance was
so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-“


Isaiah 53:2b-3
