The Turin Shroud is lie and deception

sermonindex May 31, 2017

When Jesus had risen from the dead, His burial clothes (othonion, plural) were found in the grave, as well as the face-cloth (a napkin) for covering His face. The number of clothes in Jesus' grave was not one (sindon- Turin Shroud), but there were clothes there (othonion, plural), which was the Jewish custom - and which is proven true by the gospel of John. The gospel of John also proves that Jesus was buried in several separate burial clothes, not in one large linen cloth. Chapter 24 of the gospel of Luke confirms that several separate burial clothes were found in Jesus' grave, not one large cloth. When we study the Word of God, we can see that the Turin Shroud story is refuted by the Word of God, and the Word of God proves that the Turin Shroud story is a lie.

Mark 15:45-46 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

Luke 23:53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.

John 20:5-7 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.

How do you know the handkerchief around his head was not tied under his jaw and over the top of his head leaving the face uncovered? If you are not sure what I am talking about, look up pictures of Jacob Marley's ghost from A Christmas Carol.

I don't pretend to know if the shroud is Jesus' burial cloth or not. But the language of plural cloths does not alone eliminate the possibility that one cloth was wrapped around His body including his whole head (as the shroud of Turin is said to have been wrapped) and another was wrapped around only His head.

I give zero though to the shroud meaning anything.

Gary Habermas has an interesting presentation on the Shroud of Turin. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g95F5PXlI1U

I couldn't care less either way- however I though the special on the shroud on the history channel a few years back was fascinating. It might have been called "the face of Jesus" or something like that.

I agree with Todd.

Personally, I do not care. I find the writings on it convincing and interesting but the bottom line is that I am aware people can create forgeries beyond my level of understanding. Rejecting it will not impact my salvation since I do not put a lot of stock in things like this. Not sure I would make any effort to go see it if I had the opportunity to do so.

Wouldn't make a good Catholic, would I?

I do not need an evidence of Jesus's burial anyway, because I live by FAITH...
