I am well aware that Jesus died for me thank you. I have never said the shroud does not exist, I have never said that it is not real all I have said is that I personally do not need it myself to know that Jesus died on the cross, shed his blood, was buried, and rose from the dead.Yeah this 'remnant' represents him dying for you. I'll just come out and say it: you don't want to look at the Catholic Jesus on the Shroud b/c it proves CC is right.. Maybe one day God removes your blindness to what is real in this world. The Shroud is real and it exists.

So knowing what I found on the Shroud has no bearing on your faith at all? Anyone can see what I saw now. For me it makes the Parable of the Sower more deep rooted. It backs my faith up with God himself.
Bobby, I have been addressing my own personal alignment to the shroud. When did I say it wasn’t real, it may well be relevant to some, but it doesn’t mean I have to fall about in Adoration about it. It also doesn’t mean that I cannot share my thoughts about preferring to encounter the living Lord Jesus personally and sharing that I have faith and trust in him.Some people don't "need" Bible Prophecy either. In fact one young man tore two pages from my irreplaceable RSV Bible because he apparently thought Bible Prophecy wasn't "needed".
But the fact is, we not only "need" the Bible, we're also told to find other ancient books, -- and who's to say we're not told to find other Geography, Historical Records, and Historical artifacts?
And remember, each member of the "body" is called to perform their unique functions, -- including assessing the veracity of Historical Artifacts.

Whether or not the Shroud of Turin is real, it should not be idolized,...
Where did it say I prayed to it?
It sounds to me like you are putting too much faith into the shroud. You should be putting your faith in God.
Would you know there was really a God without the Shroud? I believed my parents, but I still looked for myself.
Let me ask you if you think all people die.
Yes I knew that God is real. Even before I had heard of the shroud.
I have already relayed that my faith in the Lord is sound and solid. I already believe and know Jesus shed his blood for me and rose from the dead. As for Mary, his mother - I do not worship her. I respect and admire her for being willing to be used by God in such a special way.So knowing what I found on the Shroud has no bearing on your faith at all? Anyone can see what I saw now.

I pray to Jesus, why would I pray to Mary when I can go direct to the lord himself !?Can you please explain your refusal to pray to Mary like I do with Miraculous medal. I'm interested in why. I did it and saw Luke. Seeing a Luke gives me hope God will let me in heaven.
Everyone tried to beat Mary out of me for 40 years. That's why I decoded the Shroud... to prove my faith to everyone. I told God as a kid what this little boy can do for him.. like a Saint faith. Could I ever! Go look to see who decoded this Shroud before me. Everybody was blind to it until now. You guys are first to see it. I know I did not know this all own my own. But God did know I would be like Constantine who would go out an use it to conquer.
You'll always say to yourself what if Brian is right, and think you are Thy seed against Mary. Say a Miraculous medal prayer to Mary for to help you understand this.
I wouldn’t hold your breath !!I'm sure you will never reveal why.
You'll just have to wait for something to change your mind, then. God will make you think about this... He will make it bug you day and night.
Then come back here and say Brian I did pray to Mary.
He is my redeemer, my saviour, he is God , immanual. He died for me. I am His child, he is my king ..........Rita,
Why do u believe in Jesus again? I see Jesus and Mary as my parents now.
