Shroud of Turin: Does it Matter?
I've long heard of the Shroud of Turin on various television shows over the years. What I didn't know in the news:
The city [in Italy] is expecting around two million visitors over the next couple of months when the Shroud of Turin goes on display to the public for the first time in 10 years from 10 April to 23 May. Already there have been more than one million online reservations to secure just a few minutes to see the 14ft-long piece of linen that many Christians believe is Jesus Christ's burial shroud in its bulletproof, climate-controlled case in Guarino Guarini's Chapel of the Holy Shroud in the baroque Duomo di San Giovanni.
But does it really matter? Is there any justification for millions to go see what could be real or a fake? Wikipedia says it could be the most studied artifact in human history!
I guess everyone looks for real, scientific evidence that Jesus existed. But regardless, there is a good Case for Christ. Very interesting evidence other than this cloth that makes a good case for Christ.
So I think that if you're looking for a physical piece of evidence, you're out of luck. But, there is ample archaeological evidence for much of the New Testament. But if you're Indy Jones looking for the Ark or chalice, I think you'll never fully be satisfied.
But, believing in Jesus is not just blind faith. There is a case for Christ that is very convincing. Your thoughts?
