'Our Lord and Savior . . . '

The Shroud is a linen cloth Bearing the image of a man Physically traumatized in a manner consistent with the Lord's crucifixion . . . It's all there in black and white Our Lord and Savior was wrapped in this burial cloth - after 600 years it's still the center of speculation - another artifact . . . The rectangular cloth has been split into the factions of skeptics and believers - has the same color as a worn out sheet; on it, it has several punctures . . . On the Shroud is a life size image of Jesus, with crucifixion wounds from the bloody lashings; and holes through the wrists and ankles made by nails . . . Christ was wrapped in it after his death and served as the resurrection process - it exerted so much energy that his image was imprinted on the cloth . . . Carbon dating places the Shroud's age at 748, not old enough to be that of Jesus; some believe it was created by Leonardo da Vinci - a 3D image . . . But, if you have the faith, you'll truly believe the body in the Shroud gave off such powerful energy, that it disturbed the carbon dating, and it is Jesus . . . ! '2008' RLS

Lance,
Always in my heart it is Jesus's on the Shroud. He is also my Saviour, my life. I couldn't make it one day if he wasn't holding my hand and guiding my steps.

Blessings and huggs,
~Linda

An excellent, thought provoking write, Lance: don't know if it is the Shroud of Turin, but what if it is??? Concur with Cynthia: Jesus was, and is, real. Lord of lords, King of kings, and He is coming, soon!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Hello Robert,

Mystery profound in verse, and craftily written in this unique style of yours. Shroud or no shroud, faith comes "on the assurance of things hoped for, and the certainty of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) The shroud may be real or not - but Jesus Christ is real and is TRUE God, and He is still here.

I watched an hour special on the Shroud two nights ago. Not one scientist over the centuries can prove this is not real. However it was proven that carbon dating is off 500-1500 years due to several factors. I for one believe it is real. Thanks for sharing this info and I am going to save the photo to my library.

Lance,

This has always held a fascination for me, that someone could be imprinted on cloth. I never thought about energy. But as SC says, it is a gift from God.

It is true that there is still much controversy over the Shroud, but unless proven otherwise I shall continue to believe. Carbon dating can only go back so far and if I remember right there were other factors involved that would distort the actual dating. Beautiful writing of history....

Be always safe,
Karen
