I recently saw a show on the National Geographic Channel about the Shroud of Turin in which they presented many theories about how it came to exist, and speculated on the authenticity of the supposed burial cloth of Jesus. But the idea that excited me the most, which is also explored in the book The Jesus Conspiracy , is that Jesus didn’t die on the cross, and that the Shroud of Turin serves a proof that he lived on after his crucifixion, which, in itself, is uncomfortable (to say the least) but not necessarily deadly.
Controversy has surrounded the Shroud of Turin since it appeared on the scene in 1357, when the widow of a French knight put it on display in a church. It wasn’t until 1898, after the shroud had been photographed, that the image of a face was clearly seen in a negative.

We live in time, whereat many Bible’s prophecies are filling. We also live in time, which is very near Yeshua’s (Jesus) second coming. For this reason many people attacks with all power of evil against the Bible’s message and these attacks will increase.

Hebrews 4: 14-16 (NLT): So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
