No they didn't - they just sort of wandered around till the law caught up with them

There are probably an infinite number of ideas about what Jesus was like. I prefer the alternative lifestyle Jesus

In fact I suspect Jesus probably had a toke now and then when the miracles got a bit tiring

quote: Originally posted by Urban Ranger There's another thing. If you put paint on somebody's face and wrap a long piece of cloth around his head, then unwind the cloth and lay it out flat, it wouldn't look like a face at all. That is really the biggest strike against it.

Really? Then how is it that image analysers are able to make a reasonably accurate 3D model of the face of the man? And why is it that the markings on the cloth have been shown to be due to the body being wrapped in it?

quote: In 1976, research physicists Dr. John Jackson and Dr. Eric Jumper along with The Rev Dr. Kenneth Stevenson, Giles Charter, and Peter Shumacher, examined a photograph of the Shroud in the Interpretation Systems VP-8 Image Analyzer at the Sandia Scientific Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. To their complete surprise it produced a 3D image. The photograph of the Shroud, unlike any photograph of a drawing or painting, was "dimensionally encoded."

Did you know James was an Apostle, and that he wasn't the only brother, and that there were sisters, too ?
