My Unique Line

"Just believe us, we see Jesus”...from my poem “The Shroud of Turin”


The Shroud of Turin bears a loving face
It gives Christians a miracle to embrace
With tests scientists hope faith will erase



*The debate of the authenticity of the Shroud of Turn has been going on for centuries.  Scientists have employed carbon dating and other techniques to debunk its authenticity.  Why can’t they let those of us who believe it is Christ’s face see it is a miracle?

John Freeman November 2, 2011 at 7:41 PM Ironic Carolyn, everything they do to disprove, only serves to embrace as truth is revealed in each new discovery. Agape, Moses

Sara Kendrick November 2, 2011 at 1:29 PM It does look like a human male's imprint on it with the markings that one killed in the manner in which he was killed..Good idea and good presentation...Enjoyed reading this afternoon....Sara

Daver Austin November 2, 2011 at 11:44 AM Real or not, the shroud shows a loving face - that is Jesus. Hold on to your faith, dear. Love, daver

Jack Horne November 1, 2011 at 1:59 PM Yes, a fascinating subject indeed - I think the last time I read anything about the shroud, scientists thought it could be much older than medieval, after all.

Nancy Jones October 31, 2011 at 7:09 PM sorry, I don't get it. 'when I do scientific experiments, I get all excited when results come in that add to my knowledge 'bout the facts if the physical world. on the other hand, science has absolutely NO power to dictate where or when or how I see Christ's face.. and I'm talkin' the whole range of science, physical science, political science, social science, you name it. provocative po, Carolyn, preesh it muchly. Namaste~N
