As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The Lame Cherry is fascinated by the latest AI interpretation of the Shroud of Turin as to the face of Jesus the Christ. I'm done with the skeptics and have seen enough evidence that this Shroud is legitimate.
I will play the part of the opposition in this part "in the least", as in the least, according to secular history from the Roman historian Josephus, that Jesus lived. He was born around O AD in the year of our Lord, and died by Roman execution 33 AD in the year of our Lord.
We know the stories of him caused upheaval to Rome and a great deal of change in Judiaism took place in a sect called Christians appeared.
Jesus was real literally.
Now for some more information. Jesus was a Galilean. He like the major disciples were different from the other Jews, as you could see they were different physically. The reality is that those Hebrews living there who were Judahites tended to be blondish with blue eyes. Josepheus described Christ as having a chestnut hair and was a handsome, tall man.
Josephus never saw Christ. He instead was relying on what others reported, what people said Christ looked like who were Christians. Hence, the Christians who were around, had had direct connection with thee Apostles. They had direct connection with the brothers and sisters of Christ. Of course like normal people, on knowing Christ as the Son of God, they would have asked the Apostles, "What did He look like?"
The answer would have been comparing Him to those the people could see. That would be passed down from generations. Remember also as the Scripture forbade likenesses for Jews, Christianity in St. Paul was appearing in the Gentile world who had no problems making likenesses. St. Paul was alive long before the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem. Paul had never seen Christ in this world, but the Apostles had and it is logical to conclude that several artists who could draw likenesses would have been asked to draw what Jesus looked like. There were most likely drawings of Jesus the Christ almost from the start of Christianity.
What is remarkable to me, is not that all the images of Christ out there are consistent. It does not matter if it is some near death experience from a child in seeing Christ, all of them resemble the image which is generated again from the Shroud of Turin.
What the AI shows is what is reality. You are looking at the face of relaxed muscles of a dead human. Yes this is what Jesus looks like in his muscles were relaxed in death.
This is a consistency which appears to have the Hand of God in this as you honestly do not get this kind of portrait consistency in subjects like George Washington. Hell Lenin does not look embalmed anything like his pictures.
This is just a pregnant pause to marvel at in seeing the face all of us will look on one day, to our great Joy or great lament.
According to Artificial Intelligence, this is what Jesus looked like if the Shroud of Turin is authentic. pic.twitter.com/CQaxwfv3Qn
