I will not visit DC until all of the communists are removed!
We have loved and enjoyed visiting the Museum of the Bible......
the museum is outstanding, authentic, awe inspiring....
....
....but alas Washington is not the welcoming place it once was......
I can’t even imagine returning any time soon
As for the Shroud of Turin..........possible........
..... but my faith does not stand or fall on it being authentic
My faith is sustainable by the Word and promises of God
I visited it Easter Sunday weekend and attended the Easter sunrise service at the Lincoln Memorial.
Also, visit the Native American Museum around the corner.
There is a Holiday Inn very near it that was reasonable.
My question is “where is the exhibit to be shown next?”
Also, does this museum participate in video tours .. I remember at the beginning of the mess that video tours were mentioned.
I visited the Museum of the Bible about three years ago but was turned off by their use of BCE (before the Communist era) and CE (Communist era) instead of BC and AD for dates.
Ironically, the sensational (and anti-Shroud agenda-filled) "carbon dating" debacle of pseudo/political science in 1988...
...probably INCREASED interest in the origin of the Shroud - to the dismay of the antis. The resulting battery of research AND legit science unleashed on the Shroud not only debunked the 1988 fiasco but likely brought scores of people Back to Christ.
I attended a lecture (I think it was via "Shroud Encounter") accompanied by a full-size replica of The Shroud that was magnificent...it drew from scientific research and theology. Anyone walking away thinking that some magician hundreds of years ago manufactured this "forgery" probably also thinks we just need a little more time to flatten the curve.
We often say that when you're taking on fire, you're over target. That the Shroud CONTINUES to be attacked is telling.
The Shroud of Turin exhibit opens today, Feb. 26:
