Is it really important?

Or will it (has it) taken away from the truth of the message?

Is what was (possibly) worn by a person as important (in this time) as the words spoken by that person.

Much ado about nothing (imho).

Everything in every religion is a much ado about nothing.

Show me the money. I want to see one miracle that cant be explained. I want a dam burning bush to talk to me without the aid of powerful mind altering substance while hooked up to electrodes to study my brain function . . . why cant the all mighty just hook a brother up?

I read about the carbon dating thing. after they scrubbed off the accumulated grime and dirt and retested it, it came out a lot closer to the time of Jesus

also pollens found embedded in the shroud were found to be native to the Jerusalem area




Before I believe anything about the carbon dating results of the shroud you will have to site your sources.

Who are "they?"

What are your scientific unbiased sources?


people on this web site don't seem to understand the difference between discussion and debating

do your own research. I mentioned something I read for the purpose of discussion. Not for the purpose of having to defend any assertations

as long as you feel the need to debate every comment you'll never get any discussion. just a lot of competition to score points


If I had any doubts about whether or not the shroud was real I would do my own research. But I believe its a fake. If you want to add that you read something about someone scrubbing of the grime and dirt and coming to a different conclusion about its age, that's fine with me. However it is not enough evidence for me to reconsider my opinion.
