  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The concensus seems to be that this dates at least to 326AD, but whether it was around 300 years or so prior and was really Christ's burial bed is unknown. Its a bit like the Shroud of Turin that regard, but the Shroud can only be denonstrated as going back at least as far as the middle ages- this seems more ancient. But does it truly go all the way back? Looks like we might be getting some clues coming up.
