As a medieval forgery, the Shroud of Turin tells us nothing about the death of Jesus. If indeed it were the very shroud in which Jesus was buried, it would contradict the description in John's Gospel and thus cast doubt on the Gospel as a whole.
John 19:39-40, 20:5-7 specifically state that the body was 'wound' with linen cloths and a large quantity of burial spices ( myrrh and aloes). Still another cloth (the napkin) covered his face and head, as was Jewish custom during the first century. In contrast, the Shroud of Turin represents a single, draped cloth with an image of the face and head. It was not wound around the body and there was no separate napkin covering the face of the image. Also, there is no evidence of any burial spices.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Shroud of Turin an example of advanced technology?
No. The Shroud of Turin is an example of medieval technology. However, it required advanced technology to prove the Shroud to be a fake.
What evidence can be provided to prove that Jesus died on the cross?
Evidence to prove that Jesus died on the cross includes historical accounts from the Bible, writings from early Christian sources, and archaeological findings such as the Shroud of Turin. These sources provide documentation and physical evidence supporting the belief that Jesus was crucified and died on the cross.
Is the Shroud of Turin evidence that Jesus existed?
A:No. It is believed to be a medieval forgery. But even if it really did date from the first century and really came from Jerusalem, it would only prove that someone was crucified and buried in that shroud. The Romans crucified thousands of men in Jerusalem. The shroud appears to be a single piece of cloth that draped over the entire body, including the head. John's Gospel tell us that the cloth was wrapped around Jesus, not draped, and that there was a separate cloth covering his head, as was Jewish custom in the first century.
What is the monetary value of the actual original Shroud of Turin or an estimate of the price?
It is hypothetical. It is highly priceless. Catholic church will never sell. Recent scientific studies prove that it is the grave cloth that did cover Jesus of Nazareth of first century. C14 done was flawed because it was done on 15th century repair patch of cotton cloth whereas the Shroud of Turin is flax linen.
Why do people see the Shroud of Turin as evidence of the resurrection of Jesus?
The Shroud is seen as evidence of the resurrection due to the image itself. It is a negative, impressed upon the cloth approximately 1800 years before anyone imagined negatives. It was only after the invention of photography that we even had an idea of a "negative" image. The best science has concluded that the image was made by a burst of radiation which might have been put out when a body miraculously came back to life. Although the fibers have been changed - in this negative sense - they have not been burnt. I do not understand all the science behind it, I do know that many scientists over the years have converted from atheism to Christianity on the basis of examining the shroud up close.
What was the significance of the linen clothes at the tomb of Jesus?
The gospels appear to make specific mention of the linen cloths found loose in the tomb, to demonstrate to the readers that the body of Jesus was not taken by grave robbers. It is most unlikely that grave robbers would unwrap a corpse before removing it. John's account is even more specific. The author knew that it was the practice among first century Jews to use a separate cloth to cover the face of the deceased, and he mentions this at John 20:7. This has unintended significance because one of Catholicism's prized relics, the Shroud of Turin, shows the image of a man wrapped in a single cloth. If scientific and historical evidence of the fabrication of the Shroud were not already available, this piece of evidence would prove it. Either Jesus was wrapped in a single cloth, against all Jewish custom, and John's Gospel is wrong, or the Turin Shroud is a fabrication.
What is the mystery of the Shroud of Turin?

Where was Jesus created?
Jesus is part of the trinity which means he is God. John 1:1-2 can prove that Jesus like God always existed. John 1:1-2 "in the beginning was the Word, was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."
Are AXJ Templars right about John 20 verse5 to 7?
The AXJ ® Knights Templars hold that they proceed from the Essenes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essenes and specifically can prove that John existed and baptised Jesus, which later on only trusted his apostle John and gave him His Sudarium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudarium_of_Oviedo which was purposely set aside and not wrapped within the Shroud of Turin, but was taken to Spain.They claim to have the blood of Christ in the Sudarium they have been safeguarding in OVIEDO, SPAIN since then. ASARIM was born in 1300 and by oral tradition her Templar husband left her the truth and wrapped the blood stained Sudarium around her neck. www.asarim.com
Why is Josephus important for proving that Jesus actually existed?
Josephus does not actually prove that Jesus existed, but he is the only non-Christian first-century author who clearly accepts the word of Christians that Jesus existed. Philo of Alexandria, supposedly a near-contemporary of Jesus, never mentions him although Philo mentions every other Jewish movement of which he was aware.The Jews and pagans were disinterested in the works of Josephus, and they were only saved because of the value placed on them by early Christians.
Prove jesus is the son of god historically?
It cannot be done.In order to prove that Jesus was the son of God "historically", one must first incontrovertibly prove that God exists. This falls outside of the scope of science (and therefore true history). We then must prove that God impregnated Mary (which would require that God himself testify, since there's no way of performing any sort of genetic test on Mary or Jesus). We then must prove that Jesus was indeed the son of Mary, which too would require genetic testing.So far, we can't even conclusively prove that Jesus existed (though it is possible) in a historical context since it has been shown that the only 3rd party verification of Jesus' existence (the records of Roman historian Josephus) were later proved to be doctored.AnswerRead the Bible. The whole great book testifies that Jesus is the son of God and is God. Science helps prove that God does exist.
Why is Josephus important for proving that Jesus existed?
AnswerUnfortunately, Josephus does not prove that Jesus existed, but he does say (Antiquities Book XVIII) that he knew of Christians who believed he had once existed and who in his own day continued to worship Jesus. If the existence of Jesus as a historical person is ever to be established, this passage will at least assist in that direction.
