You mean it wouldn't be important to you since you already believe it really happened? Cause I was doubtful until I investigated the Shroud of Turin. Now I'm completely convinced and it changed my life.
Ive spent a lot of my Christian life as a doubting Thomas. I won't deny that the shroud being real would further solidify my belief. But I try to take it on faith.
I spent a great majority of my life as a non believer. I didn't get honestly saved until last year, and that was the pivotal moment where I believed in Christ.
But my life as an agnostic, and Satanist, and other, like Taoist and stuff, left me confused and curious.
I knew that I thought for sure I had an experience with Christ, God and the holy Spirit. But I still didn't even know if there was a historical Jesus. I didn't know if I was foolish at the time.
I mean what is more foolish? Believing in my supernatural experience with God? Or stopping to wonder if Jesus ever even lived, let alone died and ressurected?
Now it doesn't bother me as much, what "foolishness" I wrestle with.
Even without physical proof of Christ, I've had enough experiences since being saved that make my faith unavoidable. I couldn't stop believing in Christ even if I tried my hardest to find evidence to the contrary about him.
I've tried.
Didn't work. There are no rationally explaining some things. A real "so be it" situation. Thinking now, I wonder what Laozi would say about my faith in Christ.
John 20:29
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed
are they that have not seen, and
yet have believed.
I'm at least greatful that I never even heard of this burial shroud until I received Christ. Strange thing is the holy Spirit will try to speak to you through others. I had a strange conversation with my Boyfriend (who doesn't believe) something about the length of Christ nose. He said "your nose is like, this big, (2") but Jesus nose is like, this big. (~3")"
It was a weird conversation... But later I was reading about the shroud, and in the link I posted above, there was mention in the article the demensions of the man. And it says his nose was 3 inches long.
IDK what I make of that...if it's just a really odd coincidence. To be having a conversation about the supposed length of Jesus nose of all things... Then only an hour or two later, read a supposed measurement of his nose matching the conversation.
