In an interview with the Germany daily, Die Welt, he stated, "If you believe that the cloth hails from the Middle Ages then you must also believe that a man looking exactly like Jesus ..

"Looking exactly like Jesus",huh? Exactly how does this "unbiased expert" know what Jesus looked like?

Oh Ye Of Little Faith

Read Luke 16:19-31 and you will understand why some will never believe.

19Jesus said, "There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed and who lived each day in luxury.

20At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus.

21As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man's table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.

22Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,23and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham.

24"The rich man shouted, `Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in these flames.'

25"But Abraham said to him, `Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish.26And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. Anyone who wanted to cross over to you from here is stopped at its edge, and no one there can cross over to us.'

27"Then the rich man said, `Please, Father Abraham, send him to my father's home.28For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them about this place of torment so they won't have to come here when they die.'

29"But Abraham said, `Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read their writings anytime they want to.'

30"The rich man replied, `No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will turn from their sins.'

31"But Abraham said, `If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't listen even if someone rises from the dead.'"

She was there

It was here. The battlefield was here. The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman Legions. Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun, two thousand years ago; and I was here.
