JOHN 20:6 DISPROVING THE SHROUD OF TURIN

[Doug]

John 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

These verses disprove the notion that the shroud of Turin is authentic.

The shroud is one piece of cloth depicting the body of Jesus from the head down. Verse 7 states the cloth napkin about his head was wrapped together separately so making it impossible for the face of Jesus to have been imprinted on the same piece of cloth as his body.

Awesome apologetic!

A powerful case can be made that the Shroud of Turin is actually the burial shroud of Jacques de Molay the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar. He was seized by agents of the King of France, tortured and crucified on a heavy door in 1314.

Interesting, whoever it was had a very brutal death and the shroud has been tested to be authentic versus faked.. I'll have to look into that Molay fellow

Unless the napkin was wrapped around the linens while Jesus was in the tomb.

Personally I'm not sure the shroud of Turin is necessarily relevant. Whether or not it was actually the cloth that wrapped the body of Christ doesn't change anything. If Jesus Christ rose from the dead then the authenticity or otherwise of the shroud is of little importance; if Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead then a fancy fake doesn't change anything.

You are right ....it is not really relevant.....but some put faith in objects as opposed to the Word

It was just something I found interesting to think about
