What part does a piece of clothe play in my salvation?

Your salvation is your concern. Good luck. It's the history and science that interests me and a few others.

You care or you wouldn't have read it.

"Who cares?"

Uh, the Shroud bears an image of our Savior? It seems to be of miraculous origin? It has converted many skeptical scientists who've studied it? It can be used to bring souls to Christ?

What part may Christ's burial shroud play in someone else's salvation?

It plays no part in my salvation either, but for the doubters and un-believers it could be the reason to not doubt and to believe.

None. BFD. It's still a really cool artifact ...

Then what would you care if the Shroud strengthens a person's belief?

[G Larry]

None whatsoever--in yours

Have you not heard of anyone whose faith may have been sparked by the possibility the Shroud being Jesus'? and that the image created may have been from the light of the resurrection? A blast of light very much like a camera when taking a picture? Are you not curious about such a unique phenomenon in this universe? As unique as God Himself stepping into history and time? I find it absolutely exciting! Christians don't have to be so very blase, do we?
