“No one took the body. It left on its own, passing through the unmoved grave clothes, in the power of a resurrection body.
Amazing, indisputable, Hallelujah! PRAISE GOD! AMEN!
I’m just curious.
Did Mary or somebody else leave a clean change of clothes for Jesus?
You know, just in case?
John 20: verse six, the linens were ‘laying yet’ ... the Greek word conveys the sense of laying as if the shape of the one who had been wrapped in them yet remaining. Jesus left that burial material AND the stone tomb without rolling away the stone, because the angel rolled the stone away so the women could see the tomb was empty! I’ve been ridiculed for that belief, yet it is based on a careful reading of The Bible.
John 20:6 the word κείμενα gives a sense of the linens lying yet, as if they lay there in the shape of Jesus but He is not in them any longer.
There is another passage which gives a very strong sense of Whom He is: John 14 where Jesus is given the suggestion by Philip that just showing the disciples God The Father Almighty will be sufficient for their surety, and Jesus gives Philip a Physics lesson, about dimensional limits, telling him that all he, Philip, can see of so great a God is where God intersects the dimensional limits of Philip. To have a grasp on the Physics of this Universe, at that time in the history of humankind, can only be the knowledge of God, God with us. everywhere Philip saw Jesus, he was seeing God to the maximum of his, Philip's, limitations.
As Paul said tot he Thessalonians, 'Wherefore comfort one another with these sayings.'

I also use the NIV version, although I don’t restrict myself to it.
I think in this case, NIV just has it wrong. It wasn’t “strips” of linen. Most versions say “clothes” or “Linen” or “Cloth”.
I am a firm believer that the “Shroud of Turin” is indeed the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. I have researched this over the years and without a doubt in my mind, that it is real.
All the disputes that claim otherwise have been explained or discredited.
So if you want to know what the burial clothes of Jesus look like, just google the “Shroud of Turin”. and you can see for yourself what it looks like, with the image of our rising Lord imbedded within it.
” Just once, in a cave in Jerusalem, death did not have the last word.”
Let me fix that for you.
For the first time, in a cave in Jerusalem, death was “proven” to not have the last word.
Death never really had the last word.
Stated a better way:
For the righteous of those who died prior to Christ’s resurrection and the forgiven who died since His resurrection, death will not have the last word.
Get yourselves to a “bible believing” Southern Baptist (preferably) affiliated church. Get yourselves away from “religion” and into “worship” and “faith”.
Thank you.
Selah!
A?
THE central part of mine!
1 Corinthians 15:14
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
The central tenant of your faith is the milk bar. Some go on to meat. That does not remove the starting point to a lesser importance.
I too believe the Shroud is the burial clothes of Jesus. I wish I could have seen them myself.
Dr. Jones cites the passage in the beginning of the essay. You really should read it when you have time. It’s pretty good!
indeed!
repetition is good for remembering.

The scripture is pretty clear on this stuff...
Joh 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
Joh 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
The Jews of that time had a standard burial practice which consisted of covering the body with a mixture of salves and herbs and spices...And of course there had to be a way to keep this mixture on the body without it falling or smearing off...They accomplished that by winding 3-4 inch strips of cloth around the body while adding layers of the salve between the layers of cloth...

A primary verb; to bind (in various applications, literally or figuratively): - bind, be in bonds, knit, tie, wind. See also G1163, G1189.
Joh 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
Joh 19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
That's a very clear picture of what took place...It leaves nothing to the imagination...
Joh 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
You claim the bible account has been refuted...People may disagree with the words of God but they have not been refuted...
