I was invited onto the brand new Shroud skeptic YouTube channel called the "Ignotus Channel" with Oliver Pearce. We cover various issues including the 1988 C-14 Dating, the bloodstains, the Limestone Dust findings and textile studies.

I was asked to guest star on Michael Loftus' "Reason and Theology" podcast for the 1P3 segment with Luis Dizon. I gave my own personal testimony on the intellectual arguments and evidences, as well as my methodology, for how I went from Agnostic to Bible-believing Christian.

Some in the Pro-Shroud crowd have mentioned that my previous Panel Review Summary show was too long (4.5 hours) and so I wanted to provide this summarized and condensed 30 min version of the show for people.

Shroud skeptic Hugh Farey joins me to discuss Nicholas Allen's Proto-Photo and Nathan D. Wilson's Shadow image-forming hypotheses. While, Hugh is a Shroud skeptic regarding the Shroud in general, nevertheless he takes a "Pro-Shroud" position with respect to the validity of these two Shroud skeptical mechanisms. Finally, we also briefly discuss Picknett and Prince's absurd notion that the Shroud Man's images were made by Leonardo Davinci.

In this rather long episode (due to updates and corrections in my knowledge), I go over all of the textual and archeological evidence we have for the existence of the Shroud of Turin's images from 30 A.D. to 500 A.D. I assess two Pro-Shroud hypotheses; Ian Wilson's Image of Edessa/Mandylion theory and its use of the Abgar Legend in ancient Edessa and compare that with Jack Markwardt's Image of God Incarnate theory and Jack's notion of the Shroud having been in ancient Antioch for the first 5 centuries. Finally, I also assess the Shroud skeptic's hypothesis that all texts from this period must be referring to something other than Shroud images.

Continuing on with my Shroud series on SJ Thomason's channel, I invited Bible expert, Larry Stalley, to come on and address the texts of the New Testament that he believes are cryptic references to the Shroud images. Additionally, we also address 4 skeptical Bible-based objections to the Shroud of Turin (no explicit mentions, John mentions multiple strips/cloths, Isaiah 52:14 failed Messianic prophecy and 1 Cor 11- no long hair).

Christian Egyptologist, Dr. David Falk, has chosen to weigh in on the Shroud debate and make a short 20 min video outlining his reasons for thinking the Shroud is a Byzantine painting dating sometime before the 4th Crusade in 1204 A.D. in Constantinople. Interestingly, I was part of his motivation for his doing so and so I take it as my responsibility to refute the 4-5 substantive points he makes as to why the Shroud is not historically authentic as Jesus' burial shroud.

Unfortunately, for the past couple months I have been wrapped up in an Investigation Committee investigating some allegations as to potential spiritual abuses by my former Pastor at my old church, Midland Park. That investigation has now concluded and I wanted to share some generalized and helpful lessons from my own experiences attending that church and what I learned from the investigation process. Atheist and former Church of Christ member David Johnson, along with David Russell, Dr. Tony Costa and Jamie Castro all join me to discuss how we tell the difference between a Bible-believing Pastor and healthy church environment vs. a cult leader in a toxic cult-like gathering masquerading as a church. The truth is not always as clear cut as one might hope and there are often gray zones involved.

Dr. Helmut Felzmann is Pro-Shroud in terms of historicity but believes in a naturalistic gas diffusion theory to explain the Shroud images. He also gives his view that Jesus swooned on the cross was revived by the Essenes and then left for India. He believes that Christianity has been taken over by Paul who differed form the Apostles on Jesus death for our sins and Resurrection from the dead. He also argues that religions need to be reformed to reflect a more universal religion of consciousness and love. ** My apologies for the lack of Live show today and bad video quality (bad even by my own lax standards- we had technical difficulties and so my usual Podcasting set up didn't work). ** RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2023/09/16/real-seekers-shows-sept-dec-2023/ YouTube Video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwuTTTpdk88 Audio Only Link = https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-seeker-ministries/episodes/Shroud-Wars-Interviewing-Helmut-Felzmann-e2aggh4

he Shroud Wars Panel Review shows are back! We are now shifting gears to review the Shroud from a scientific perspective. In this installment I'm joined by Pro-Shroud experts Joe Marino and Mark Antonacci alongside infamous Shroud skeptic Hugh Farey to discuss the physical and chemical properties of the Shroud's body and bloodstain images and how those relate to Walter McCrone's traditional Painting image-formation hypothesis.
