Science insulting the image of Jesus

[AnonymousRain]

Some people need to believe a Jesus could never be real. But Pareidolia is a real stretch.

I believe the shroud of Turin is just a case of pareidolia.

Nah, it was probably a dead person just probably not Jesus and probably not from the first century.

I believe that the shroud of Turin is closest!

There are certainly many unusual characteristics about the shroud of Turin. For one, where are the other shrouds or cloths that demonstrate this same phenomenon? Modern attempts cannot reproduce an image exactly the same. The dating techniques have been questioned because of medieval material incorporated with the shroud. The details of the image correspond with the way Jesus' body was treated - whipping, crown of thorns, crucifixion, and a spear wound. The 3D aspects of the image are also intriguing.

I don't understand what is insulting about that image. Care to explain?

On the shroud of Turin I see the virtues and energies in what I have read of the Christ...

No an image is definately there, it is just that it is most likely a medieval forgery.

Indeed the very first historical reference to it is in 1389, when in a letter to the Pope Pierre d’ArcisBishop Pierre II of Troyes 1377-1395) declared the shroud to be a fake, and that his predecessor had "after diligent inquiry and examination, he discovered how the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the truth being attested by the artist who had painted it, to wit, that it was a work of human skill and not miraculously wrought or bestowed”.

Science thinks that the face of Jesus looks like this...

I fail to see the insult....

Is he not white enough looking?

Is that like a crock of pareidolia?

So

On the shroud of Turin I see the virtues and energies in what I have read of the Christ...

Appears to me that what you are unwilling to say is that the man in the OP is too dark and has hair too kinky.

Here is a rendering using the mathematical proportions from the Golden Ratio along with the Shroud of Turin. Scripture tells us that: “..He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him...” Is 52:2, so I don't think we need to think of Him as handsome, such as the glamour world of culture does. However, I think He was charismatic in the sense that when He walked into a room (or by a lake), He received everyone's attention - a commanding presence. People naturally dropped whatever they were doing and listened to him. We will never know (in this life) what He looked like.

Never mind what the man who lived 2000 years ago might have looked like, what's the spirit within look like? That's the real question.

Unfortunately, for many who claim to have this spirit, this is true.

This thread has undergone a small cleanup. Please keep the following rule in mind:

Blasphemy
It is considered blasphemy to insult or mock Christianity or any part of the Trinity-Father (God), Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. Honest debate about the nature of God and Christian Theology is allowed, but derogatory remarks are not.​

It's fine to debate what Jesus really looked like, or whether the Shroud of Turin is authentic. But be sure you don't end up mocking Jesus Himself in your posts. Also, "I saw Jesus in an oil slick" posts are pretty off topic, so try to avoid those.

I think he will look like this...


7Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
8“I am the Alpha and the Omega, theBeginning and the End,” says the Lord,“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Vision of the Son of Man

10 I heard loud voice, as of a trumpet,11saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,”

12Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.

This is an interesting image of him...


Notice the names of Jesus...the alpha and omega....the beginning and the end...the Lord...the almighty....

None of the gospels described him like that.

What is it I'm supposed to be seeing in the Shroud of Turin. I understand that there's an image there, but how is the image alleged to have gotten there?

 

[dfw69]

None of the gospels described him like that.

Well no of course not..he was a man and God's son who had to fulfill the law and die under it's power.....he had to be God's sacrifice for man...God provided his son for our sacrifice of sin against the law... ...but afterwards went to heaven....he is glorified...to be like God ...a promise for his righteousness in fulfillment of the law...he is the only one to obtained this victory ....he is able to give his righteousness to those willing to obey and follow his new laws

God is white? Actually, maybe I should have seen that coming...
