Atheist CONVERTS To Christianity After Scientists Analysed The Cloth Jesus Was buried In

'I cannot possibly understand anything else that could have produced that image'.

Atheist who set out to prove the Shroud of Turin was fake reveals why he's now 'convinced' it's the cloth Jesus was buried in

Filmmaker David Rolfe was a self-professed atheist when he set out to make a documentary about one of the most revered religious artifacts in history - the Shroud of Turin.

Instead, he was so convinced of its authenticity he converted to Christianity and has since made several documentaries and published books on the shroud.

'I started off as an atheist, and then became an agnostic. And I'm now a Christian, because I cannot possibly understand anything else that could have produced that image,' said Rolfe.

The 14-foot-long shroud features a faint, brownish image of a five-foot, six-inch tall man with sunken eyes, wounds on various parts of his body that match the injuries suffered during Jesus' crucifixion.

Rolfe, from England in the UK, has put up a $1 million prize for anyone who can recreate the shroud's image of a crucified man without showing traces of ink, paint or other agents.

Prominent research in the 1980s appeared to debunk the idea that the shroud was used to wrap Jesus' body because testing dated it to the Middle Ages, long after Jesus' death.

However, as DailyMail.com revealed this week, more recent analysis using modern X-ray techniques once again placed the cloth's origin back to the time of Christ.

Rolfe explained that the 1980 research focused on a small corner of the shroud which had been repaired some time between 1200 and 1400 due to wear and tear.

It was paraded by bishops throughout history during religious ceremonies in Turin, Italy, where it is housed.

This meant the fabric tested was older the the rest of the material, explained Rolfe.

Rolfe has offered the British Museum - which was involved in what he called that 'flawed' analysis - $1 million to reproduce the shroud with its famous imprint.

'They haven't attempted, not even for a million dollars,' he said.

'I am convinced [the Shroud of Turin] is authentic, I personally have no doubt,' said Rolfe who recently released a new documentary called 'Who Can He Be?'

Last year, backed by his film company, Rolfe opened up the $1m prize to anyone who could reproduce the shroud with all of its 'characteristics.'

By 'characteristics' he means the imprint of the wounded man.

For some believers, including Rolfe, the outline Jesus' body was miraculously imprinted onto the fabric when he was resurrected over 2,000 years ago.

The shroud also does not show signs of ink or dye that would suggested it was a fake - no visible trace of any paint, ink, dye, stain or pigments.

'Contestants must match both the pattern of bloodstains seen on the Shroud of Turin, and the composition of blood, including hemoglobin, bilirubin, immunoglobulin, and albumin,' according to the rules of the challenge.

'In addition, the largest blood stains should exhibit surrounding areas of ultraviolet fluorescence as noted on the Shroud.

'When light and shade are reversed as in a photographic negative, the image must appear as a realistic and anatomically accurate representation of a body.'

Rolfe told DailyMail.com that no one in his native Britain had claimed the prize.

'No one has come forward either from America to claim it,' he added.

'Once they realize what the actual image characteristics are on the cloth, they quickly realize that they can't reproduce it.'

Atheists are not well before before

How many of them are bold to come out as an atheist, they always hide but have front row seats in churches while they practice their atheist online. Example is Seun, Seun is a very prominent member of RCCG, he can't even deny it.

What’s even more interesting is that the arms of the figure on the Turin Shroud are also different lengths. The right forearm is noticeably longer than the left forearm. The fact that the arms aren’t the same length is almost a dead giveaway that we’re looking at an image created by an artist and not the exact likeness of a real human being. Real human beings virtually always have arms of the same length, but it is really easy for an artist to mess up and make arms that aren’t the same length.

Finally, we have a smoking gun: the front side of the figure on the shroud doesn’t match the back side of the figure. In fact, the two figures aren’t even the same length; the front side of the figure on the shroud is 1.95 meters long, but the figure on the back of the shroud is 2.02 meters long!

This is absolutely a dead giveaway that we’re looking at the work of an artist. It’s easy to see how an artist could have painted the figures separately and accidentally made the back side of the figure longer than the front side, but it is hard to see how, if the shroud were authentic, Jesus’s back could have been longer than his front. That in itself would take some kind of miracle.

I suggest that you do us all a favor. Go lie down on your back. Now, that you're a dead person, so keep your triceps (the back part of your upper arms) on the floor like a dead person.

Now cover your penis or your mons (the V of your thighs where your pubic hair grows) with your hands--without removing your arms from the floor. , you're both dead, but also really, really prissy and don't want anyone to see your crotch.

Go on, we'll wait. Report back how you were able to cover your groin with your hands whilst dead and with your arms flopping around like fishes.

They may have (maybe, if you trust catholics) changed the "carbon dating" part, but there are still loads and loads of other problems with this silly thing. There's nothing to be afraid of.

The intellectually dishonest presentation even carried the unchallenged assertion that no artistic materials were found on the cloth. In fact, famed microanalyst Walter McCrone discovered that the body image (in contrast to off-image areas) had significant amounts of artist’s pigment. The show repeated the false assertion that the “blood” stains were “human” blood, when in fact they failed batteries of forensic serological tests for blood, and McCrone identified the suspiciously still-red substance as red ocher and vermilion tempera paint.

Anyone who claims the cloth used for a burial over 2000years ago is still intact is a demon and if human (insane). No cloth can last that long.

Chai! Cloth that may have been swapped!

lol bro.. You dont sound sane

If Eternity in Heaven matters to you, you must acknowledge, Believe and Surrender to JESUS CHRIST.
There is no other way.

You mean the shroud that was used to shroud GOD that created us,heaven and earth that we humans beings gruesomely killed and murdered in cold blood or the GOD son or whatever?

But Jesus didn't die according to the Glorious Qura'an ...

Sura 4 - Ayat 157

And because they said, “We have killed the Messiah, Eisa the son of Maryam, the Messenger of Allah”; they did not slay him nor did they crucify him, but a look-alike was created for them; and those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it; they know nothing of it, except the following of assumptions; and without doubt, they did not kill him.

Sura 4 - Ayat 158

In fact Allah raised him towards Himself; and Allah is Almighty, Wise.

Na woman be that

Okay

Praise the the Lord

If you travel to Egypt, China and other ancient countries, you will see them maintaining and preserving some of their items that have lasted more than 3000 years, and Scientists have countless of times proven the ages such itmes have lasted, is it Jesus clothes that's just 2000 years that you are doubting ? .. Smh


Don't even doubt scientists because scientists will tell you what happened thousands years ago, and will still tell you what will happen next century, including eclipse of the sun and the rest..

Scientists will use technology and tell you the position of the baby in the womb...

There are things you don't doubt

Can a buried cloth stays 2,000 years?

Oh my Jessica!! we have been played again.

Fake nonsense. The Shroud of Turin is a proven fraud. It is just a piece of art that is no where near 2000 years old.

Seun pls do something about nairaland site always going through cloudflare on opera mini, it's really frustrating and data consuming
