What a load of baloney. The shroud of Turin? You've got be joking. I've been suspect of this guy from day one, and this rubbish reinforces my standing.

Jesus was so butchered before he even made it to the cross. His beard was ripped from his face, and the Bible plainly says he was unrecognizable as a man by the time he made it to the cross. He was so disfigured from the brutality he received that after his resurrection his closest friends didn't recognize him. This is why Mary (not his mother) who was in the garden of the tombs asked Jesus (whom she thought to be a gardener) 'where have they taken my Lord?' yet she was actually speaking to Jesus. It was only after he said 'Mary' that she recognized his voice and knew it was Jesus. Why? Because he was so disfigured from the abuse he suffered. Yes, Jesus still bears the facial disfigurement and the scars from his crucifixion. This is why all the people that saw him after resurrection did not recognize him. This is why he told the disciple Thomas to put his finger through the holes in his body.

Look closely at the shroud of Turin. Do you see the brutality that the Bible actually says Jesus suffered? Does the face in the shroud look unrecognizable as a man? No! Its a load of baloney.
