.... Praise Him for what He did for us! ....

Hallelujah!

It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. Lamentations 3:22-24

Well, I watched it on Saturday night and found it very interesting. Especially when they talked about the head cloth that is located somewhere else - sorry, I forget what they called it. And that visual where they matched up the head cloth to the Shroud was pretty interesting. As to whether or not this is that actual cloth that wrapped Jesus, I don't really think it matters. Unless you're of the belief that an object can somehow be imparted with holy or Spiritual power and thus perform miracles or something. Which I happen to not believe. Even if this cloth bears the image of Christ, even if it is His blood on it, it is still just an interesting relic. I don't much care if I see the actual face of Jesus while living here, since I have seen, felt, and experienced His presence in my life and know that one day, I will meet Him face to face in Heaven. :whistling:

There is a good reason Jesus never left a definitive image of Himself. It would have been made into an idol.

The one thing holding up the shroud as being the Messiah's is there seems to be no markings on the face, in the beard. I always thought that He was beaten on the face with rods which fulfilled Isa. 50:6 where it says 'And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard..' So if this was His shroud wouldn't with all the things they have scanned and clicked wouldn't they be able to see that also? There was one man who kept saying no matter what your belief no ones ever going to prove this is His shroud and I liked that honesty.

How very true. Jesus was unrecognizable after his beatings. His flesh was torn so that His very bowels protruded, and yes, His beard was plucked. Jesus was not buried in a one-piece swath of fabric. He had a head-cloth.

Whoever was wrapped in that cloth is not Jesus and it is just one more distortion about Jesus Christ that the Catholic church has propagated.

I certainly will not be wasting my time watching anything to do with such a farce.

A head cloth that is supposed to be that of Jesus is in a museum in Hungary (?) or maybe Poland. They would have been used together. Why do you say this is a farce? Some pretty sharp people, and some very pious people, entertain the possibllity that it might be, Where in the Bible does it say Jesus' beard was plucked out?

I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting. (Isa 50:6)

Not sure you are asking me? I did reference the verse and I see that refugepsa wrote it out for us. There is a head cloth they know of that seems to match the shroud to a tee yet they are not together nor have they been for many decades if not longer, I don't have that info handy. I enjoyed the program myself, liked the science of trying to figure it all out, still don't believe its Yeshua, agree it would turn into an item of worship for so many, something we are not to do. Some people refuse to watch anything about scripture or the Messiah if its got science attached to it. :rolleyes: My faith wouldn't be in doubt if they set this shroud at the time of His death and resurrection though I am sure I would still doubt that it was His.

I was actually asking FloatingAxe because she didn't include the passage in her post. I see that you and refugepsa did though, so thank you. :whistling:

Jesus speaks to Isaiah in the OT and tells us.

Isaiah 50:6

I gave My back to those who struck Me,

And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;

I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.

Very studious folks need to really examine the Scriptures and realize that Jesus' wounds are not consistent with what is imprinted on that cloth. His flesh was completely torn, and the shroud does not reveal a completely battered and torn body.

Jesus was not wrapped in a one-piece cloth.

The imprinted image does not conform to a 3 dimensional body. It should be distorted just like a flattened-out image of the spherical planet Earth would look like. Any projected image of a 3-D object onto a flat surface will have conspicuous distortion--and this cloth has none!

It is most definitely not Jesus and it is most definitely man-made by an artist who did not understand this principle, nor had the understanding of scripture to the point of knowing that blood would pool and smear--the shroud is far too neat.

Did you watch the show? They addressed the distortion and tested for ink, dyes or other pigment; there is none. The image that emerged after all of the testing is totally different from what is on the cloth. The only explanation anyone can come up with, as to how the image came to be on the cloth, is radiation exuding from a body that was levitated at the time the image was imprinted. Is it Jesus though? We won't know that until we talk to Him face to face.

I'm almost convinced it could be a real person....

I'm NOT convinced its Jesus.......nope not one bit...

But, another human being, I think so after watching the show....the way they explained the image was very interesting to say the least....

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
