→‎Shroud of Turin: proof of the authenticity of the Shroud could weaken rather than strengthen the Church, which emphasizes sacraments for salvation. In my experience evangelicals are as accepting of the Shroud as Catholics are.
Line 68: Line 68:  
The Bible (as Muhamed pointed out), talks about more than one piece of cloth; one wrapped around the body and one wrapped around the face. Also, please read the account of Lazarus in John 11, paying close attention to verse 44. Jesus was more than likely buried in the same manner as Lazarus. Jesus was also of Jewish descent, not of European, like the face depicts. Needless to say, this is not a good first impression of this website for a newbie like myself, especially since folks are responding in an angry manner when other viewpoints are expressed. Please remember the Second of the Ten Commandments. This is why the Bible is not specific as to what Jesus looks/ed like because it can lead to a violation of the Second commandment. Thank you for reading and may the Lord bless you as you seek the Truth! {{unsigned|Maranatha}}

:I agree with with you on this issue, and I am an evangelical Protestant who believes that the only way to salvation is by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. However, CP also has many Roman Catholics who edit, and they obviously also have strong views on this topics. Different articles on Christian-related topics thus have either a Catholic-leaning point of view, while other such articles have an evangelical Protestant point of view. The best option, considering we're united (on this site) around the fact that we're politically conservative, is to try to present both views fairly, which I encourage you to do if you have the time. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:03, 28 July 2018 (EDT)
