Shocked. Yes. I’m shocked.

[Mr. K]

Well I guess that settles it. They ‘might not be’ ...

The 13th century forgers could not have predicted the forensics technology of the 21st century.

[VaeVictis]

Meh, I never put any stock into that thing anyways.

To bad the original scientists that actually were given hands on access to the shroud disagree. Plenty of youtube videos of thoe few still living discussing this.

[dangus]

Dumb. Jesus was taken down from the cross. Why would anyone expect he was laid flat on the ground, and not wrapped in the shroud as he was taken down from the cross? What the researcher means is “the blood flows don’t match the way I wrapped him.”

It’s a piece of Art

[karnage]

The Shroud of Turin, as with any holy relic, is supposed to facilitate the Christian’s interaction with God. Its contemplation can help one contemplate the suffering of Jesus Christ, who died for our sins.

And so...? That means that...?

"This isn't the Middle Ages anymore."

I didn't expect a kind of Middle Ages.

A bit beyond Cadfael.

And we know His blood type just how??

Why not read His Word giving the account of His "trial", the beatings, the crucifixion....or pray to Him?

A big HOWEVER the headline misses:

Jonathyn Priest of Bevel, Gardner and Associates Inc. in Norman, Oklahoma, who is a bloodstain pattern expert, said that while the science and the methodology used in the study were sound, they may not be accounting for when the body was moved such as being carried and prepared for burial.

Priest also told BuzzFeed that the amount of blood from the wrists on the shroud would "more than likely" have needed the heart to have been beating at the time the bloodflow formed, however.

Everytime these scientists try to prove the shroud fake the opposite happens.

[Blue House Sue]

“And so...? That means that...?”

It means that science and technology will uncover forgeries.

[onedoug]

Oh no?

[oh8eleven]

They have to try to prove the shroud is fake because the only one who can prove it's real is Christ.

The Sudarium of Oviedo:
www.shroud.com/guscin.htm

Is the matching facecloth John describes in his account of the crucifixion. Its known to have been in existence since around 1200AD. The blood stains on the face cloth match up with the Shroud.

Note the article references the 1988 (flawed) carbon test where the swatch taken for testing came from a corner repaired from the fire that almost destroyed the Shroud in the 1500’s.

Not everyone knows about the “botched” carbon testing because naturally “fake news” ignores any news that conflicts with their story line.

The only question I would have for the authors of this piece is who funded the “study”. Obviously they started off with an agenda (since they ignore other streams of evidence) and wrote the article with the purpose of calling it a fake.
