Doubting Thomas and The Shroud of Turin. By Simon Brown.
Doubting Thomas and The Shroud of Turin. 
Hello friends. I do hope your well. I am sorry for not posting an article last week, as I am still receiving 100's of comments every day from atheists who sadden my heart from the terrible misunderstanding they have of Jesus and the Bible.

I understand why unbelievers are spiritually blind.
But it is puzzling when I receive so many comments from Christians who say I am deceiving people because I use the Shroud of Turin in hope and to help the lost see the visible and physical evidence of Jesus.

I received this email just yesterday from a Christian saying:

PPS. Looking back at some of your old comments, it's obvious why I had already dismissed you as, "a deceiver who is himself totally deceived."  Farewell Simon.  JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD GOD AND KING. "Even so come quickly Lord Jesus." (And deliver us from this vile piece of cloth.)

He is sill on this video below arguing with Christians.
Jesus and the Shroud of Turin [BEST FILM ON SHROUD EVER PRODUCED] The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Jesus and the Shroud of Turin [BEST FILM ON SHROUD EVER PRODUCED] The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Only weeks before this comment I kept receiving emails from another lady Christian who said Satan was using me to promote the Shroud of Turin. So when the Devil comes back he will make out to the world he is Jesus Christ on the Shroud.
I fund her theory that I have heard before very hard to believe, because most of the would still refuse to believe the Shroud is genuine. So if this was Satan's plan? it has already failed. 

I am very sure Satan will be doing what ever he can in these last days to further deceive the human race.
However what these scoffing Christians are forgetting is the fact that the true born again will not be deceived if they study their Bible and have the Holy Spirit in them.
In the end she sent me so many emails calling me names, I had to block her.

Friends if I had realised we would be attacked so much by Christians as well as 100's of atheists just for standing up and speaking out the truth, then I would of asked God to please give me a different job like sweeping the church floors.

I am astounded to be often condemned by Christians for simply testifying to a lost world the forensic facts and evidence of the horror of Jesus going to the cross. The Shroud bears the ultimate triumph of the Resurrection of Jesus (Yeshua) meaning Salvation. All this is recorded supernaturally on The Shroud of Turin, which proves the Holy Bible to be forensically accurate and perfectly reliable in every possible way.

I always find the Christians who condemn the Shroud of Turin never come up with any ''correct, valid, well founded, sound FACTS'' or evidence to prove the Shroud of Turin is not authentic. 
They often send me Bible verses like: Exodus, Deuteronomy and Leviticus 26, Where God states-" Ye shall make you no idols nor graven images". So why would God break his own laws? They tell me. 
Yet these Christians have not got a clue of what the meaning of the word ''images" means. Which means making idols with our hands. Which was why God gave these commands, because His people were making idols and images out of clay and then worshipping them as if they was a god.

I even received up to 5 emails from a Christian who was grieved because my articles had a photo of Jesus. She said I am breaking Gods laws by using 
''images" of Jesus above. Yet she purchases DVD films with the ''images" of Jesus on them and watches Jesus films, with people portraying Jesus who is above. 

Theses Christians who condemn the Shroud often tell me God would not break His own commands by making ''images" for people to bow down and worship. Yet Theses clever dick Christians fail to understand that NO TRUE born again Christian bows down and worships anything. Except Jesus Christ Himself.

We simply use the Shroud as an important witnessing tool. Because most of the human race believe the story of Jesus is a fairytale.

Theses Christians who condemn the Shroud seem to be the same as most atheists who just refuse to believe the Shroud is authentic no matter how good or convincing the evidence is.

I often wonder what side they are on. When it comes to proving to the lost it is Jesus on the Shroud of Turin they seem to jump on the atheists side and teach the many people like Doubting Thomas's The Shroud is a forgery.

Yet they believe Jesus was crucified and His burial cloths were lost or destroyed. The very fact the 2 cloths have survived for 2000 years can only prove one thing. God preserved them for today as a witnessing tool. Yet when I use the Shroud to witness, I am condemned and called a deceiver who is deceiving others.

Peter Shumacher, the inventor of the NASA VP-8 Image Analyzer, describes the discovery of the 3 D image of Jesus Christ on the Shroud of Turin. He states: Modern science does not understand the process by which the image on the Shroud was formed and all duplication efforts have failed to duplicate all the peculiar properties of the Shroud of Turin image. READ FULL ARTICLE.

The Good news.
I find it interesting, while there are times we are saddened, there seems to be a good surprise that pops out of the sadness. Please may I explain. When people of your own faith attack you, it does make you think, could I be wrong and they be right? And as we pray and ask Jesus for help, knowledge and further understanding, He seems to answer.

The Christian who sent me the article above also stated in his comment: 
By virtue of their substance and form, physical objects require no faith whatsoever. They can be observed, examined, touched and even smelled. -- This is the very opposite of "faith."
Thomas was not commended or blessed because he had "seen" Jesus after the resurrection; but those who believe WITHOUT SEEING ARE!
(John 20:29)

As I read this part of his comment, my brain clicked. Did God flick a switch in my brain? Lets go back 2000 years to the chapter of John 20:24 when Thomas said: 
Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

How interesting. Here we have a disciple of Jesus who followed Jesus, saw Jesus change water into wine, fed the 5000 with just a 5 loaves and 2 fish.
he watched Jesus raise the dead, heal the blind and crippled calmed the storm, cast out demons and heard Jesus tell hidden secrets in his parables only he could know and many many more great miracles that each of us would desire to see just one miracle.

Yet Thomas did not have any faith in the most important time in world history. Where Jesus was to become the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, by His ultimate triumph and the Resurrection. Jesus made it clear, this was why He came into the world to be crucified and be raised from the dead in 3 days.

The greatest day ever, that changed the world for ever in the whole of human history had come. The greatest day that the prophets so longed to see was for filled and Yet St Thomas became The famous Doubting Thomas who could not believe and had to see Jesus to believe.
St Thomas needed to see and touch the very holes from the nails in the hands of Jesus.
But that still wasn't enough for St Thomas to believe. He also made it clear. He demanded to see the spear wound of Jesus as well to believe.

After eight days Jesus returned and said to St ThomasThen saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. John 20:27.

So there we have it friends. St Thomas clearly needed to see to believe. And Jesus did not condemn St Thomas for wanting to SEE to believe.

I have read many Christian articles who believe and teach the Shroud is a fake and say we do not need the Shroud of Turin to believe, as it goes against our faith.
How can that be?
Yes we born again believers already have faith in Jesus, and blessed are they who have faith without seeing.
BUT what about most of the human race. I receive many comments daily saying ''there is NO evidence of Jesus'' Because ALL the Bible and ancient writings of Jesus could be written by anyone and were written by so many people, years after the events, which could easily be made up, they tell me.

Below is an example of the many comments I receive every day from people who believe there is NO evidence of the Bible.

*Here are just a few things that we, as intelligent sentient beings, know are FACTS:*
FACT: As of today, the prevailing stance on the Exodus from most, if not all of the biblical scholars in, Jerusalem  and, in fact, Israel is that it never happened.  The Jews were not slaves in Egypt and there was never a mass exodus from there.
FACT: The age of the earth is approximately 4 billion years old.
FACT: Dinosaurs did not live with man.
FACT: There is no evidence of a world wide flood.
FACT: Evolution is a fact.
FACT: The Big Bang is a fact.
FACT: We have a common ancestor with apes and we share 99% of our DNA with chimps.
FACT: There is no Chain of Custody for the bible. That puts its authenticity in question.
FACT: Since the beginning of recorded history, there has been no prophecy that has been proved with evidence to have occurred.

You need to answer "The Simple 18!"  Which is: Can you please show me the evidence you use to prove the things you believe about your god? A very simple 18 word question.I am an engineer and I use science every single day.  None of what you have given me is evidence.  Its junk science.  It's opinions.  It's what other people believe. It's anecdotal stories.  As an engineer I cannot use any of these as evidence to prove anything.

Yet we have THE PHYSICAL AND VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF JESUS on The Shroud that proves ALL the Bible and ancient writings of Jesus and The Prophecies In The Bible to be ABSOLUTELY accurate. Yet certain Christians condemn the Shroud that proves Jesus and the Bible as historical FACT..

It is very clear most of the population clearly do need to see the evidence of Jesus.
Sadly, It seems these Christians who teach the Shroud is a forgery are only thinking of themselves and seem to have little concern for their lost friends and neighbours. They seem to have adopted the approach:
I AM ALL RIGHT JACK I AM SAVED.
Yet most of the human race are queuing up to get in and through the gates of HELL.
Are these Christians who teach the Shroud is a forgery widening the path to HELL? I do not know and let God be the judge.

The amount of Christians who send me the Bible verses below saying:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 King James Version (KJV)
for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Romans 14:23 King James Version (KJV)

Then why did St Thomas clearly need to see the evidence of the Resurrection of Jesus to believe and gain faith? IF we do not all need to see evidence to gain faith.

Jesus Himself proved and demonstrated with St Thomas, ''many'' need to see the evidence to believe and gain faith in Him. And from the comments left on our book, many Christians have confirmed their faith in Jesus have been hugely strengthened and solidified. One Christian calls me regularly with tears of joy because of the the evidence of the Resurrection of Jesus, who has purchased dozens of our little booklet on the Shroud.
The Shroud of Turin Speaks for Itself [Paperback]


I believe Jesus was using St Thomas to demonstrate this point. Which agrees with Jesus saying: 
SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND. Matthew 7:7. 

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. 
Proverbs 8:17. 
Just as Jesus also illustrated a merchant, who was "searching" for that "pearl of great price". In Matthew 13:45-46. Which I believe was a person who was on a mission to find the truth of God. (Just as people who are looking at Bible Discoveries and The Shroud of Turin)

Now we can truly understand why God preserved the visible and physical evidence of Jesus on The Shroud of Turin told in John 19:40. And the Sudarium of Oviedo as told in John 20:7.

Because God had already known that most of the human race would be full of Doubting Thomases. 

It seems there are Christians who have become Doubting Thomases, who say they do not need to SEE to believe. But condemn the Shroud and STOP others like Doubting Thomases who do need to SEE to believe and gain faith in Jesus and be saved.

We clearly see God wants ''ALL'' to be saved. 
Just as Jesus demonstrated the kind of love for the lost displayed by our heavenly Father in heaven.
 
In "The Lost Sheep" Luke 15:1-7"The Lost Coin" Luke 15:8-10"The Prodigal Son" Luke 15:11-32.
 
These parables answered the charge that Jesus received sinners and ate with them, and beautifully illustrate "The Father's Yearning Love For The Lost" (Hendriksen) 
 
Jesus made it clear to us how The Father goes out of his way to call and save even one lost soul. 

We clearly see when we look at the Shroud God has provided ALL THE PHYSICAL AND VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF JESUS FOR EVERYONE TO GAIN FAITH IN JESUS AND BE SAVED.
Just as Jesus told Doubting Thomase to look at His hands and side and believe.

WHY?
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. 
Ezekiel 18:32 .

 The Shroud of Turin as told in John 19:40. And the Sudarium of Oviedo as told in John 20:7, PROVES, CONFIRMS, and DEMONSTRATES the Holy
Bible to be forensically accurate and perfectly reliable in every possible way and in every detail truthful concerning the most important event in human 
history-the crucifixion of Jesus, the greatest miracle in the world, the Resurrection of Yeshua.

When we "believe" that Jesus Christ truly died on the cross for our sins and if we believe that Jesus rose from the dead, and follow Him 
by taking up our cross, you shall be saved.

1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

MANY need physical proof as Doubting Thomas DID. 
AS Jesus clearly DEMONSTRATED. Well here it is.

Some simply believe. The Bible says, "Blessed are those who have not seen, yet hath believed." Whether you believe what I have shared or not, and you have not yet received this free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord, now is the day. Let today be the day of your salvation!

If you are looking for the evidence of Jesus, If you are like Doubting Thomas. We know there are millions of people who do NOT believe Jesus was who He claimed to be. The click here and SEE HE DIED FOR YOU AND ME.

It is time to turn away from our sins, believe and receive salvation, and follow Jesus. Amen.

Friends, I have eyes to see and ears to hear. PLEASE do send me your comments and let me know your thoughts,
 as I still have time to repent.
For 100's of years Father God has been using The Shroud of Turn as told in John 19:40. And the Sudarium of Oviedo as told in John 20:7. 
TO PROVE HIS DIVINE LOVE FOR THE WORLD.

For 100's of years Jesus Christ has been using The Shroud of Turn as told in John 19:40. And the Sudarium of Oviedo as told in John 20:7. TO PROVE HIS CRUCIFIXION, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION for the millions of Doubting Thomas just as Jesus demonstrated with St Thomas who NEED to SEE to BELIEVE to gain FAITH to be SAVED.

In the last days The Holy Spirit has been using The Shroud of Turn as told in John 19:40. And the Sudarium of Oviedo as told in John 20:7.
TO CALL ALL TO REPENTANCE.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Acts 2:17.

For 100's of years The Shroud of Turn as told in John 19:40. And the Sudarium of Oviedo as told in John 20:7. Has brought COUNTLESS souls To God in repentance who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour who will be saved.

ALL confirmed by Jesus with Doubting Thomas who need to see to believe to be saved.
That is why God preserved THE BURIAL CLOTHS OF JESUS. AMEN.
