(A rare fact that what should be a one dimensional piece of cloth could allow this. Usually a blood stain on a 2 milleniums' old cloth would be one dimensional. Perhaps it is the unexplained radiation from the Shroud of Turin that explains the unexplained two dimensional image in human blood. Different tests in different depths of the fibers have different carbon dating. The oldest carbon dating, taken from cutting deeply into the fibers, places the Shroud at the time of Christ's death. Pope John Paul II requested and received a rare viewing of the Shroud. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Three dimensional images are created from two dimensions of images from the Shroud. The pictured image above of Jesus Christ is two dimesions. For example, a road map is one dimensional - the Shroud of Turin should be this, but the Shroud of Turin is in actuality two dimensions. A topographical map showing the heights of the map would be two dimensions. An image of Jesus showing the realistic planes of His face, but is a flat image would be two dimensions. The third dimension would be a simulation of the second dimension, like a map of Jesus's facial heights and contours, a computer simulation.)
Jesus, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Jesus, the word of God, was with God in the beginning of creation.
In this life, we invite the Lord, (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) to live in our hearts. By faith, we believe that the word of God is true and written by men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say.
Job 38
1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
2 “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Dress for action like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.
4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
9 when I made clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
10 and prescribed limits for it
and set bars and doors,
11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?
12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
and caused the dawn to know its place,
13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,
and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14 It is changed like clay under the seal,
and its features stand out like a garment.
15 From the wicked their light is withheld,
and their uplifted arm is broken.
16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.
19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
and where is the place of darkness,
20 that you may take it to its territory
and that you may discern the paths to its home?
21 You know, for you were born then,
and the number of your days is great!
22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war?
24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
25 “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
and a way for the thunderbolt,
26 to bring rain on a land where no man is,
on the desert in which there is no man,
27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
and to make the ground sprout with grass?
28 “Has the rain a father,
or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
30 The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.
31 “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loose the cords of Orion?
32 Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season,
or can you guide the Bear with its children?
33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you establish their rule on the earth?
34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
that a flood of waters may cover you?
35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
and say to you, ‘Here we are’?
36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts
or given understanding to the mind?
37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
38 when the dust runs into a mass
and the clods stick fast together?
39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40 when they crouch in their dens
or lie in wait in their thicket?
41 Who provides for the raven its prey,
when its young ones cry to God for help,
and wander about for lack of food?
The reason should be clear, when you give it some thought. The little baby in the manger would not stay there. He would grow to be a man and become the greatest threat to those who oppose God that ever existed. Today, those who oppose God find the scene of the babe in a manger still threatening. They understand who He claimed to be and who others believe He is, and they reject those claims for their lives. Somehow they understand that to be confronted by Jesus means that one cannot remain neutral. He does not leave that option open for us.
John 5: 16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. 17 Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." 18 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Psalm 102: 25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.
28 The children of your servants will live in your presence;
their descendants will be established before you."
