The Shroud of Turin

            

The Apostle Paul writes in I Corinthians 15, "...Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures; that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures...."  So the resurrection of Christ is a key doctrine of the Christian Church.

 

The Shroud of Turin is a 2000 year old linen cloth which has the faint image of a crucified man.  The image is only on the surface of the fibers and is best viewed when looking at a photographic negative.  Russ Breault explains all the details in his excellent presentation, The Shroud in 15 Minutes>.

 

How did the image get on the cloth?  Scientists have long puzzled over how this happened.  Mr. Breault suggests the mechanics of light. Continuing on with the analogy of light,  Kenneth Fredrick came up with this statement:       

                                Since I'm not a scientist, I may get criticized, but I came up with this:  

                                             The Shroud is a witness to the Resurrection:  

As the body of Jesus transferred from one medium to another (a dead earthly body becoming a living spiritual body) (See I Corinthians 15>)an extremely bright ultra short-wave spectrum of light(1)* lasting a few nanoseconds projected over 100,000,000 intense focused straight line light beams of particle radiation(2)* consisting primarily of protons and neutrons(3)* undo the outer edge of each thread of linen weave, at the microscopic level, discoloring the fibrils and creating a photographic negative image. Hence the 3-D holographic information on a 2000 year old linen cloth. (1)*See Nuclear Medicine And It's Relevance to the Shroud of Turin>.(2)* See academicjournals> and Bob Rucker; a burst of radiation>. (3)* See Test the Shroud website> and A Point of Nuclear Physics>.

 

Much more information is available on this website:  shroud.com>,  run by a Jewish man named Barrie Shwortz.

 

What about the carbon 14 test which was done in 1988?  This test has created a lot of controversy, and the controversy is addressed  in this youtube video, A Grave Injustice>.

 

The bottom line when analyzing the Shroud of Turin is this:  Jesus Christ paid for the sins of the world when he was crucified, and the image is a receipt from God that payment has been made and the resurrection verifies it.
