Barrie Schwortz died on the 21st of June after a short illness. I had the privilege of spending time on-line talking with him. Sadly, I never met him in person. He had a way of making you feel you were someone of real importance. I am sure that in the course of his lectures and interviews he met and spoke to thousands of people about the Shroud of Turin.There are other experts on the Shroud but there will only ever be one Barrie Schwortz. Good bye, my friend, and thank you. Shalom. Rest in peace.
Although Mr. Barrie Shwortz isn’t the traditional speaker, I have to admit, there’s a huge lesson his message sent and am grateful for his entire vocation into this experience. Blessings to all.
For example, an Italian team spent five years using the world’s most powerful eximer laser, and could not reproduce the image. They estimate it would take a pulse lasting one forty billionth of a second of uv radiation on the order of *several billion watts of power* Clearly, obviously supernatural. Cannot be done by modern man. Probably the single most amazing part of the shroud. It broke the carbon bonds of the top layer of the fibrals, turning them into double-bonds. Journal Article: “Coloring linens with excimer lasers to simulate the body image of the Turin Shroud” Giuseppe Baldacchini, Paolo Di Lazzaro, Daniele Murra, and Giulio Fanti
Seems to be a story about himself rather than the shroud. Not sure why, he seems very full of himself. He needs to listen to Mike Tyson speak about legacy... a truly wise and humble, albeit typically blunt Mike take on what legacy is.
@James Perkins Thanks. I am glad that we are all entitle to our own opinions and that there will always be room for skepticism. The truth always is. Believe it or not.
I still have an article out of Readers Digest back in 1970 that my mother-in-law gave me on the Shroud of Turin. I knew immediately that the Shroud was authentic. God is totally amazing to me, how He chose Barrie to be on that team. He used a Jewish boy that did not believe to become a top expert on the Shroud, who has gone on to make it his life's work. How amazing is that!
Well, Janice, I knew immediately how his video was going to go, and I'm no prophet. Believers who pretend to be non-believers and pretend to be 'science people' before being 'turned.' Totally obvious, unless you're wearing blinkers.
@@honeysucklecat my sophmore HS English teacher asked the class a similar question, and I alone raised my hand that I still believed in God. But how was that, I was raised a secular humanist?
Thank you Barry. I was the custodian at St Alphonsus parish in Seattle in the early 2000’s when you made your presentation to our congregation. I have never forgotten your conviction as you told your story. My faith has never wavered, but your scientific evidence added to my belief that faith and reason are not only compatible, but are necessarily unified in the understanding of life. Thank you for your part in this wonderful examination of the Shroud.
I was privileged to have seen the shroud with my own 2 eyes in 2002. My main impression at the time was how BIG it was. I was not expecting that. The other was how faint the markings were. The images we see of it in books and on the internet apparently enhance the contrast. I recall not being then convinced about its authenticity, but have over the years since come to the opinion that it is indeed the burial cloth of Jesus. As Barrie Schwortz said on this video, quoting Sherlock Holmes, "When every other possibility has been rejected, whatever remains - however improbable - must be the truth."
The image on the Shroud is very faint, as you saw in person. Almost all of the images that you see in books or online are photographic negatives of the image. The image on the Shroud is itself a "negative", which is why in 1898 when it was photographed for the first time, the photographer was astounded when he saw the very clear image of Christ on his negatives in his dark room.
The first time I heard Barry give his testimony and evidence of the Shroud it went deep into my soul.I knew about the Shroud but not the testing and personal testimony.I am now deep into it all and my faith has been fortified immensely.
What a humbly beautiful human being in the truest sense of the word. Thank you for carrying the shroud to the world through your gorgeous witness. Thank you. "Telling the truth" never sounded more courageous.
I've got a testimony to tell,just before I started watching this video,I was watching several videos about atheism,science and the like, somehow I noticed this Ted talk in the thumbnails,usually I skip such topics but something inside of me prompted me to click on it, I come from a mixed Jewish/catholic background,raised Catholic with a love for Jewish culture I've always had an identity crisis,who/what am I? My belief in a higher power is weak to say the least but after listening to this talk, I'm sure it was God pushing my index finger towards that thumbnail. Thanks for taking the time to read my rambling.
Beautiful Video to watch this Sabbath morning. Heart wrenching to know how much Yeshua suffered for us and how many deny his gift!

Messianic Judaism is just a subsidiary of the Baptist Church. You might want to rethink the pathetic nature of Baptist and Anabaptist and its teachings.
@@eddieboggs8306 Religious divisions are man made. There is one God, though different languages give Him different names. In the end days there will be only 2 churches, the true church of Christ and followers of the false christ. The true church of Christ will be recognized because it will love God, love their fellow human beings and they will keep the commandments of God. This is the whole duty of man.
@@Robert.Deeeee I disagree. To willingly lay down your life to save others IS special. It's easy for you to say.otherwise but would you have the courage or the love?
yeah, it goes back at least to the 13 c. to Thomas Aquinas. or even earlier. it is not coincidence that modern man does not look at science in this way.
telling the truth....it has been carbon dated by multiple independent sources to the 13 th century....each getting to within 50 years of each other....the fiber it was made of came a 1000 years later.....its not the shroud worn by jesus
On the contrary! He kept on talking about himself, his family and his Judaism all the time, mentioning the Shroud just occasionally. I would rather watch a video about the Shroud, but not on his feelings.
@@ЛеонидФедяков-ъ9я The man IS an expert on the shroud of Turin, but this presentation is rather a testimony to the authenticity and truth of the Christian faith. So like he said, he just presents the facts and it’s up to the person to accept it or not. It’s between you and God. If you want to know more, you can go to one of his lectures and listen to what he has to say about the shroud of Jesus. You cannot force people into accepting a religion, that is the job of the Spirit of God who dwells in each one of us and it’s up to us to listen to his/her voice speaking to us.
@@ЛеонидФедяков-ъ9я I've just listened to Fr Andrew Dalton talking to Matt Fradd on utube about the Shroud & I have to say its fascinating "Evidence for the Shroud of Tourin w/ Fr Andrew Dalton"
its carbon dated to the 13th century... it was sent to labs and they independently dated it each within 50 years to the 13th century....the fiber wasn't about during the time of Jesus...
No, the Holy Spirit bringing the resurrected life of Christ inside of me is the receipt for the purchased possession. Thank you Jesus for saving me and my family. Maranatha! (Walkin by faith not sight).
A Jewish person once told me people who believe in Jesus hate Jews, I responded, on the contrary I love Jews, my lord is a Jew! Believe or not believe, the decision about Jesus is eternal!
SHEEP MEANS ISRAELITE Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. John 10:26 (talking to pharisee jews) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Josephus’ Wars 2:8:2, states: “For there are three philosophical sects among the Judeans. The followers of the first of whom are the Pharisees*; of the second the Sadducees; and the third sect, who pretends to a severer discipline, are called Essenes. These last are Judah by birth, and seem to have a greater affection for one another than the other sects have.”
It’s so sad that Joe Rogan refuses to get this man on his podcast or anyone as knowledgeable to talk about the Shroud! Please everybody pray that this one day happens. His viewers need to hear the truth.
@@ricksmith3442 Ha - It's you who would preach to gullible people, since you arbitrarily claim to know and have made deeper research into the shroud, and proven it's a hoax!
The Shroud of Turin also proves He was resurrected -- the image itself was produced by an "unknown light" and the image proves the body was levitating erect when it was made on the Shroud of Turin and the Shroud of Turin was no longer touching the body, but a distance away, to produce the 3-d image. The blood on the Shroud of Turin matches the blood of Eucharistic Miracles when the "Consecrated Host becomes the Body and Blood and 'Living Heart' of Jesus Christ."

I am so blessed to learn of this research from Barrie himself , of the true investigation from these top scientists attesting to the shroud's veracity. I was inside the Garden Tomb in 1977. There l believe is evident it being empty and near to Jeremiah's grotto where Ron Wyatt discovered the erk of the covenant with Jesus blood trickled upon the mercy seat from the crack caused by the earth quake at Golgotha above where Jesus the Lamb of God suffered and bled and died for our sins...angels were present and had Ron take scraping of the blood to be analysed AB + 24 chromasomes from the mother and one from the Heavenly Father God the blood mixed in saline solution 24 hrs. As instructed by angels was alive ...this is the blood of your Messiah!!!
Thank u Dr Barry for yr objective presentation & for clarifying my life long Catholic Concern! The Lord guided you, & through you, He will guide us! Thank you for succumbing to His Direction.
I had doubts from the History Channel because they didn't tell me everything. Once I learned teverything about this thing, I was Floored!! Jesus is REAL, and He loves us.
@@Drakemiser anything on secular television, which has any part of the Bible as its subject, will always, always be slanted away from the Bible. They may get some true facts, but they will always sprinkle in doubts and even lies for those who want to believe lies. They will also leave out crucially important, related, information. The Lord told me years ago to stop watching television. He told me it was being used to harden the hearts of Americans. I have since been shocked at the things that have been airing, per report, on television. You might want to research about subliminal programming and other ways the television is being used so that the one who is being programmed is you.
@@andrzejsawicki3770 I glanced at your channel and happened to see that you were cutting and pasting the same post as seen above, on other channels. You didn’t answer any of my questions and we both know you never will. You cited scientist from last century and ignored the plethora of scientists in many fields and the last two decades who show why the initial carbon 14 testing dates were inaccurate. In fact, the very inventor of carbon 14 testing said that those test results were not accurate due to contamination. You can see him saying that in the video called Jesus and the Shroud of Turin. You can paste that little post all over the Internet. But you can’t answer my questions. And you can’t make the truth go away. Why miss out? Why not embrace the truth instead of fighting it?
@@andrzejsawicki3770 P.S. I don’t know exactly how things work on UA-cam in regard to editing posts. I edited my post above because before I was finished typing and correcting it, I accidentally sent it. But the above post is now the full one. Hope that isn’t too confusing.
"What makes you think I even care what you believe? That's between you and God. Take it up with Him." "I just put the facts out there and let people decide for themselves." Barrie Schwortz
polopoly: "I just put the facts out there and let people decide for themselves." The "facts" can be manipulated. Have you ever watched "Chariots of the Gods," "In Search of the Ark," or "Alien Dissection?" All have the flavor of X-Files silliness; "The Truth Is Out There." Not doubt it is, but it ain't on the X-Files.
Barrie Schwortz We can see from the responses here that in spite of the earlier studies that showed the shroud to be a fake, many people are desperate to believe that it confirms the divinity of Jesus Christ and are determined to seek any trivial excuse to do so. You are either laughing at these people or making a buck off of them or both. Would you be willing to publically support retesting since the testing methods have become so much more sensitive?
It's very difficult to stand in front of an audience and deliver a presentation. You did an outstanding job describing your personal experiences and giving us an insight to the work that you have accomplished over many years in such a short period of allotted time. Congratulations to you, Mr. Schwortz, and thank you for work in promoting the Shroud of Turin, a revelation to modern man through the art and science of photography.
By building website internet on the subject (shroud) followed by millions of people is blessing in disguise. Your doubt or indifference at first lead you to a change in mind to grasp the truth. GBU.♥️ Mr Barry, watching your presentation, talking about experience, a journey of faith, without realizing my tears rolling down.🙏♥️
@@davidcross4815 no. The carbon dating was taken from a piece of the shroud that was restored. Scientists have proven there is NO WAY we can duplicate this image. Even with today's technology. It was made by extremely high amounts of radiation, it was made by the words of GOD THE FATHER telling his SON to rise again just as JESUS told Lazarus to come forth. You should really study the subject before you state false facts. Plus the blood on the shroud is alive! ALIVE! How can you explain that? Watch some documentaries about the things Ron Wyatt found before his death. I hope you come to the truth. Which is JESUS CHRIST. HE is the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the FATHER except through HIM. I pray the HOLY SPIRIT guides you to the correct information to open your eyes to JESUS. To those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, let them know the truth!
This presentation is from 2013, based on an examination in 1978. It has been thoroughly debunked several times since, and Ted should probably remove it from the library. The latest study was in 2018 by a UK university and thoroughly disproves the whole thing.
@lin linlin I agree - it's not the basis. There simply IS no basis except superstition and indoctrination. In the 2000+ years we have been listening to this baloney, there has been not ONE single piece of repeatable, verifiable, predictable evidence that there is any such thing as ANY supernatural being.
@lin linlin It is only true and real to you because you have no desire to look for or at any evidence. None. You are accepting what mom and pop told you when you were 3 years old, and still waiting for the tooth fairy.
Wonderful what God will do to save one soul. He will do the same for you.... I was an atheist for many years... God revealed Himself to me... amazing grace... hope you find the joy of your salvation too. Know Jesus know the love of God
Yes😁❤ I had a friend who was Muslim, and we had great conversations about our faiths!🥰 She believed that Jesus was a very Holy Prophet and honoured Him at Christmas time also. She also believed in the Holiness of Our Lady. These are steps to be well respected, and I embrace anyone who is halfway there! God brings you all the way to Himself! Every year, I try to practice a Seder meal on Holy Thursday, to remember how Jesus and the disciples would have, how important this ceremony was to them, but also how the early Christians, many of whom were Jewish people, would have continued the Seder meal. That is how the Holy Catholic Mass evolved!🥰
@Russell Weber III No. I tell from my own experiences, like most people. Yes, Jesus is THE ONLY Pascal Lamb, but as Christians, it is very important to know the roots of our faith, especially the Last Supper, and what it meant to the Disciples and Jesus. All I know is, that practicing the Seder alongside attending Mass on Holy Thursday is a powerful experience for me, and really helps me appreciate the mystery and sanctity of the Holy sacrifice of the Mass. If you are not Catholic, this may not make sense, but the Seder is the precursor to The Mass, or "Sharing at the Table of the Lamb".
Do you believe that Jesus was the son of god, a prophet, or a heretic? I’m genuinely curious why not just convert to some sort of Christian faith since the Jewish faith doesn’t recognize Jesus as the son of god.
@@leonardodalongisland i’m wondering if you even watched the full video. Yes he did talk about his Jewishness. That was appropriate to do since it helped to show that he did not have a bias toward Christianity. He also gave all kinds of information about the shroud. For example, the fact there was billirubin found in the blood, which keeps it red because of extreme torture. If you want to see what I personally think is hands-down, the best video on the shroud, I think the one by Brian Cray is the best. There you will see all kinds of scientific and historical data that show that the shroud is no way, and could not possibly be, a Medieval forgery. Barry gives far more scientific and historic details in other videos. He only had a short time to talk at TEDx.
@@loricalass4068 You acknowledge the one and only bit of “evidence” he spoke about and that I mentioned: billirubin found in the blood! Did you even read what I wrote! And his Jewish-ness had NOTHING to do with taking photos. He wasn’t hired as a scientist or even as someone to make any statements. He was hire to click the shutter of his cameras. There is not only no such thing as “bias” is the world of photography. It’s mechanical operation; you press a button, a mirror flips up, light from the object in focus passes through, strikes the film. That’s it. No options, feelings, thoughts, or religion involved. You claim that “he also gave all kinds of information about the shroud, and again, only mentioned the one thing I mentioned. Where are “all” the other supporting bits of “evidence”???? It may not be a “medieval forgery,” but there is NO way it can be linked to a particular man (that many not even have existed). There is no “Jesus DNA.” That cloth (if it’s real) could have been wrapped around any of 10, 000 men. Come on-exhibit at least a modicum of logic.
@@leonardodalongisland P.S. in case you didn’t get the obvious from my post. The shroud is mir-ac-u-lous. Highly qualified. Scientists have said there is no way to reproduce it even with modern technology. And of course you yourself, dear, couldn’t reproduce it, or even guess how it could be reproduced. When Christ was alive on earth, many saw him doing miracles, but not all believed. He left a humongous miracle for us in his resurrection. He gives you the chance to believe. Even now with miracles. But if you reject him, how very sad for you.

This brought tears to my eyes, thank you Jesus for really being here for us, i felt deep down inside when i first heard about the shroud that it was real.
THE SHROUD IS A LIE. #1 The BIBLE gave proof that Jesus had his beard torn off his face: "I offered My back to those who struck Me, & My cheeks to those who tore out My beard ". Mat 26:67 #2 John 20:5-7 5 "Peter went straight into the tomb [where] he saw the strips of linen ...as well as the 'cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head'. #3 Jesus was stripped of his clothing, tied to a post & beaten until his flesh hung in shreds. Isa 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him because his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being & his form marred beyond human likeness" Jesus no longer looked like a 'man'. He was a mass off shredded blood & skin. The shroud would have been soaked in blood covering a distorted body not resembling a human. #4 This is the 2nd Commandment of God: "You shall not make any graven image, or 'any likeness' of any thing that is 'in heaven' above" Ex 20:3 Jesus is the only sinless being who walked the earth, therefore He obeyed all ten Commandments. Jesus would never, ever sin against His Father in Heaven, so Jesus would never, ever have allowed himself to be grafted into a piece of cloth to resemble a graven image.
When I think of Barrie, I think of Jesus' words concerning Nathaniel: Here is a man WITHOUT GUILE!!! Ane THAT is why God chose him to be on the Team! Well done, Elohim!
The man was beaten in his face, scourged with roman whips, crowned with thorns as though mocking his messianic claims, pierced with a roman spear, his bones were not broken like other crucifixion wictims, then he was buried in a beautiful linen cloth which was unthinkable for a criminal, he was laid in a grave in Jerusalem surrounded by flowers from that specific place, etc. there are so many facts about the suffering of the man on the shroud, that it ALL combined only fits one account: that of the suffering of Jesus of Nazareth. The fact that jews took the actual bloodstained cloth out of the grave is in itself a proof that something is special, because jews would never do such a thing, touching a dead man. Still denying that all these proofs don't point to one particular man and one particular instant in history, can only be an act of the will: Some people will not accept facts because of a fear they have. They themselves know the nature of this fear.
His disciple Joseph wrapped him in the shroud and placed him in the cave so the fact that it was a nice piece if linen points to nothing other than he was entombed with care by a friendly party
@@jeyDsixx18 Yet, still a common criminal would not have been given this care or tortured and crucified in the same specific way. Nor is there anything else to compare it with because it wasn't important enough to keep and preserve anyone else's burial cloth from that time period.
there is no way that the Shroud is fake ! , no chance. God left gave us this amazing artefact for our era because we are the only ones who are able to study it so it was made for us because we need it most .
Moses also resisted God’s call, but in the end he lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, on dry land through the Red Sea. I’m very moved by Barrie’s courage.
I just saw the documentary on the shroud of Turin and all the scientific doubters who were present and worked on the shroud became believers not by faith but by evidence that their carbon dating was flawed and disproved by 2 religious people they called lunatics
They have faith in the evidence, not 'faith in faith,' which id fideism and mere credulity. Thomas demonstrated this when he saw the risen Christ who enjoined (us) that historical testimony from reliable witnesses is a form of evidence and ought not be discounted. (Remember Occam and Sherlock from the talk.)
This adorable man has made a whole career out of this! Thank God his parents left Poland prior to WW2. It’s his skepticism that helps prove its authenticity.
#1 Jesus had his beard torn off his face: "I offered My back to those who struck Me, & My cheeks to those who tore out My beard ".

Mr. Barry is obviously very intelligent and seemingly honest. I respect his position and his right to believe. What I don’t understand is how the shroud is still up for debate. One doesn’t have to be a scientist or subject matter expert to detect a fatal flaw. If a person were to take a bed sheet or material that is similar to the shroud, apply a thin layer of paint, then carefully wrap their face with the sheet, and then unwrap they would realize that the profile of their face would be greatly distorted. The shroud has a profile that resembles a picture or portrait. The shroud of Turin was not wrapped around a persons face.
bLue pill it’s called free choice. God doesn’t ravish, people simply choose not to be in his presence. Don’t blame that choice a person makes themselves on God. People who do not accept God simply get exactly what they want.
Barrie, Wonderful to see you on TEDx my good friend. I've helped produce one here in Malibu, California recently. I always love to hear your perspective on the shroud, and better yet, your personal views and your story. Please keep in touch! Rich Tamayo, TVP Studios / TVPLIVE. (Now in Orange County)
I am one of the skeptics Schwortz was talking about. Even if the blood on the shroud is authentic blood, there is no guarantee that it was christ's blood. A photographer in the 1970s published an in article in one of the photography mags that he had duplicated the method in which the shroud had been reproduced. He said he used the spices & dressings which were traditionally used in early AD, and draped the cloth over a supine stone effigy. After three days, he photographed the image which had transferred onto the fabric, and he published the images. They resembled the shroud's ghostly image. I googled the shroud of Turin: Historical and scientific evidence points to it being a medieval creation [that is, well beyond the time of christ's burial]. It [the shroud] is first securely attested in 1390, when a local bishop wrote that the shroud was a forgery and that an unnamed artist had confessed; radiocarbon dating of a sample of the fabric is consistent with this date. The lecturer may believe--and belief is not proof--that the shroud at one time covered christ, but I don't.
It is OK to be a sceptic. The Church itself has never declared that it IS the Shroud that Jesus was wrapped in. It does know that the Shroud Points to CHrist which is the most important thing. Prehaps that is why we have it. Authentic or Not. You need to Update your facts and see if they still match your old information. Don't close your mind yet!
@@joebrinson5040: I've done all the research on "the shroud" that I need to do. It is patently fraudulent, and there is no benefit to be gained from "researching" beyond that point. The shroud has the same validity as bleeding or weeping icons of mary, "fragments of the true cross," pieces of the ark, bones of the saints, or any other religious relics that were routinely sold during the benighted advent of christ's supposed emergence as the savior of mankind. Here's what Google has to say about the shroud: "The first possible historical record dates from 1353 or 1357, and the first certain record (in Lirey, France) in 1390 when Bishop Pierre d'Arcis wrote a memorandum to Pope Clement VII (Avignon Obedience), stating that the shroud was a forgery and that the artist had confessed." This "shroud" was manufactured over 1300 years after X supposedly died. BUT: You can probably buy one of X's sandals on eBay if you act now, while supplies last. When you get the sandal, be sure to check the size to be sure it's authentic; he had small feet. Size 8. And make sure it wasn't made in China.
19:00 "How did I become an expert on the Shroud?" This sounds like a version of Survivor bias. How did my puppy end up in my home? He'll never know. He'll never understand or comprehend the intricate details that led to me adopting him. But I will this: the Shroud is the only piece of evidence out there that I in anyway hold as a possibly authentic link to any metaphysical claim.
A Jewish atheist lady was in the hospital. A Catholic priest was making his rounds visiting people. The two became good friends. She admitted she was afraid of dying. The priest said “Pray to God for peace.” She said “I’m an atheist, I don’t believe in God.” The priest said “It’s ok, he believes in you.”
@Helen Galilee Been Jewish is not only a religion but an ethnicity (she was a Jewish = ethnicity Atheist = religion/lack off...its really not that complicated.
just something I've always found curious: why would those that wrapped the body and laid it in the tomb have left the nails and crown of thorns (which was placed on his head in a mockery) in place?
I don't see a crown of thorns or nails when I look at the shroud image. I see wounds. Maybe you're thinking of some other pictures which are just an artist's rendering.
Those who were rushing to finish before the Sabbath began at sundown. Notice they were coming back to finish the job early Sunday morning when they found Him gone.
They didn't! The objects of execution were thrown down a cistern and found 3 centuries later. The image of Jesus on the Shroud shows his wounds not the actual crown of thorns or the nails!
no one knows for sure...because...no one was there when it supposedly happened 2)no one could find the body, so how could they possible know for sure...that he ascended to heaven 3)the witnesses are all dead and gone now...so...technically, there is no testimony....4)only one way to prove the shroud of turin is real..and we all know the answer to that.....
@@sheezamann2724 Hmmm . . . Well, if you believe that to verify historical facts there have to be witnesses still alive, do you trust that Nazis dominated Europe?
How blessed was this man to learn the truth and blessed we are to be watching today. Thank you Jesus for your pain and strife to save our pathetic souls. God bless all.

This guy is going around completely understating the strength of the evidence. William Guy phd, md does a much better job.
For example, an Italian team spent five years using the world’s most powerful eximer laser, and could not reproduce the image. They estimate it would take a pulse lasting one forty billionth of a second of uv radiation on the order of *several billion watts of power* Clearly, obviously supernatural. Cannot be done by modern man. Probably the single most amazing part of the shroud. It broke the carbon bonds of the top layer of the fibrals, turning them into double-bonds.

Seems to be a story about himself rather than the shroud. Not sure why, he seems very full of himself.
He needs to listen to Mike Tyson speak about legacy... a truly wise and humble, albeit typically blunt Mike take on what legacy is.
"The light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it..." Thanks for uploading Mr Shwortz's marvelous experience with the truth.
Thanks.

I still have an article out of Readers Digest back in 1970 that my mother-in-law gave me on the Shroud of Turin. I knew immediately that the Shroud was authentic. God is totally amazing to me, how He chose Barrie to be on that team. He used a Jewish boy that did not believe to become a top expert on the Shroud, who has gone on to make it his life's work. How amazing is that!
Jewish boy???
Well, Janice, I knew immediately how his video was going to go, and I'm no prophet. Believers who pretend to be non-believers and pretend to be 'science people' before being 'turned.' Totally obvious, unless you're wearing blinkers.

Blood of a severely tortured person such as Jesus stays red forever. That is just so powerful. God is just almighty and powerful.

Thank you Barry. I was the custodian at St Alphonsus parish in Seattle in the early 2000’s when you made your presentation to our congregation. I have never forgotten your conviction as you told your story. My faith has never wavered, but your scientific evidence added to my belief that faith and reason are not only compatible, but are necessarily unified in the understanding of life. Thank you for your part in this wonderful examination of the Shroud.
Did Barry get paid for his testimony?
@@robertunderwood1011 testimony isn't evidence.
@ Robert Underwood...look up the video : Evidence for the Shroud of Christ! Resurrection 2021
I was privileged to have seen the shroud with my own 2 eyes in 2002. My main impression at the time was how BIG it was. I was not expecting that. The other was how faint the markings were. The images we see of it in books and on the internet apparently enhance the contrast. I recall not being then convinced about its authenticity, but have over the years since come to the opinion that it is indeed the burial cloth of Jesus. As Barrie Schwortz said on this video, quoting Sherlock Holmes, "When every other possibility has been rejected, whatever remains - however improbable - must be the truth."
The image on the Shroud is very faint, as you saw in person. Almost all of the images that you see in books or online are photographic negatives of the image. The image on the Shroud is itself a "negative", which is why in 1898 when it was photographed for the first time, the photographer was astounded when he saw the very clear image of Christ on his negatives in his dark room.

He didn’t rule out every other explanation though.
@@Sharkman1963how do you know it’s not a random guy?
Amazing story and a moving speech. Thank you, Barrie!
The first time I heard Barry give his testimony and evidence of the Shroud it went deep into my soul.I knew about the Shroud but not the testing and personal testimony.I am now deep into it all and my faith has been fortified immensely.
Read the Sophia of Jesus Christ, In which Yeshua speaks of Both Matter and the Universe.

Is it really "faith" if you needed outside evidence to fortify it? Ever think about that, Larry?
What a humbly beautiful human being in the truest sense of the word. Thank you for carrying the shroud to the world through your gorgeous witness. Thank you. "Telling the truth" never sounded more courageous.
I've got a testimony to tell,just before I started watching this video,I was watching several videos about atheism,science and the like, somehow I noticed this Ted talk in the thumbnails,usually I skip such topics but something inside of me prompted me to click on it, I come from a mixed Jewish/catholic background,raised Catholic with a love for Jewish culture I've always had an identity crisis,who/what am I? My belief in a higher power is weak to say the least but after listening to this talk, I'm sure it was God pushing my index finger towards that thumbnail. Thanks for taking the time to read my rambling.
Defensor God has revealed this to you, just like Peter the apostle
Not a rambling, it is a testimony of faith. He is real!
God bless you and keep you safe in the hollow of His hand.
Amen
Thank GOD! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Beautiful Video to watch this Sabbath morning. Heart wrenching to know how much Yeshua suffered for us and how many deny his gift!

unless jesus made a 2nd visit in the 13th century

The Shroud is a stunning relic for our times
He’s amazing and quickly replied to my email on Jewish burial traditions very quickly .

@@ЛеонидФедяков-ъ9я The man IS an expert on the shroud of Turin, but this presentation is rather a testimony to the authenticity and truth of the Christian faith. So like he said, he just presents the facts and it’s up to the person to accept it or not. It’s between you and God. If you want to know more, you can go to one of his lectures and listen to what he has to say about the shroud of Jesus.
You cannot force people into accepting a religion, that is the job of the Spirit of God who dwells in each one of us and it’s up to us to listen to his/her voice speaking to us.

“For there are three philosophical sects among the Judeans. The followers of the first of whom are the Pharisees*; of the second the Sadducees; and the third sect, who pretends to a severer discipline, are called Essenes. These last are Judah by birth, and seem to have a greater affection for one another than the other sects have.”

The Shroud of Turin also proves He was resurrected -- the image itself was produced by an "unknown light" and the image proves the body was levitating erect when it was made on the Shroud of Turin and the Shroud of Turin was no longer touching the body, but a distance away, to produce the 3-d image. The blood on the Shroud of Turin matches the blood of Eucharistic Miracles when the "Consecrated Host becomes the Body and Blood and 'Living Heart' of Jesus Christ."

I am so blessed to learn of this research from Barrie himself , of the true investigation from these top scientists attesting to the shroud's veracity. I was inside the Garden Tomb in 1977. There l believe is evident it being empty and near to Jeremiah's grotto where Ron Wyatt discovered the erk of the covenant with Jesus blood trickled upon the mercy seat from the crack caused by the earth quake at Golgotha above where Jesus the Lamb of God suffered and bled and died for our sins...angels were present and had Ron take scraping of the blood to be analysed AB + 24 chromasomes from the mother and one from the Heavenly Father God the blood mixed in saline solution 24 hrs. As instructed by angels was alive ...this is the blood of your Messiah!!!

polopoly: "I just put the facts out there and let people decide for themselves." The "facts" can be manipulated. Have you ever watched "Chariots of the Gods," "In Search of the Ark," or "Alien Dissection?" All have the flavor of X-Files silliness; "The Truth Is Out There." Not doubt it is, but it ain't on the X-Files.
Do you get paid for it?
Barrie Schwortz
We can see from the responses here that in spite of the earlier studies that showed the shroud to be a fake, many people are desperate to believe that it confirms the divinity of Jesus Christ and are determined to seek any trivial excuse to do so. You are either laughing at these people or making a buck off of them or both. Would you be willing to publically support retesting since the testing methods have become so much more sensitive?

@@davidcross4815 no. The carbon dating was taken from a piece of the shroud that was restored. Scientists have proven there is NO WAY we can duplicate this image. Even with today's technology. It was made by extremely high amounts of radiation, it was made by the words of GOD THE FATHER telling his SON to rise again just as JESUS told Lazarus to come forth. You should really study the subject before you state false facts. Plus the blood on the shroud is alive! ALIVE! How can you explain that? Watch some documentaries about the things Ron Wyatt found before his death. I hope you come to the truth. Which is JESUS CHRIST. HE is the way, the truth, and the life.

This presentation is from 2013, based on an examination in 1978. It has been thoroughly debunked several times since, and Ted should probably remove it from the library. The latest study was in 2018 by a UK university and thoroughly disproves the whole thing.

God Bless You Barrie. Thanks You and GOD for your message.
Jews can believe in Jesus too! ❤️
Of course, jews can believe in Yeshua while remaining jews. The NT is a jewish story through and through.
Yes😁❤
I had a friend who was Muslim, and we had great conversations about our faiths!🥰 She believed that Jesus was a very Holy Prophet and honoured Him at Christmas time also. She also believed in the Holiness of Our Lady. These are steps to be well respected, and I embrace anyone who is halfway there! God brings you all the way to Himself! Every year, I try to practice a Seder meal on Holy Thursday, to remember how Jesus and the disciples would have, how important this ceremony was to them, but also how the early Christians, many of whom were Jewish people, would have continued the Seder meal. That is how the Holy Catholic Mass evolved!🥰
@Russell Weber III No. I tell from my own experiences, like most people. Yes, Jesus is THE ONLY Pascal Lamb, but as Christians, it is very important to know the roots of our faith, especially the Last Supper, and what it meant to the Disciples and Jesus.
All I know is, that practicing the Seder alongside attending Mass on Holy Thursday is a powerful experience for me, and really helps me appreciate the mystery and sanctity of the Holy sacrifice of the Mass.
If you are not Catholic, this may not make sense, but the Seder is the precursor to The Mass, or "Sharing at the Table of the Lamb".
Read Matt 10:6
Do you believe that Jesus was the son of god, a prophet, or a heretic? I’m genuinely curious why not just convert to some sort of Christian faith since the Jewish faith doesn’t recognize Jesus as the son of god.
I want MORE of this version of TED talks, please!
Look up the Christian's Doctrine of Discovery on Ted Talks with Mark Charles. 👍
He’s such an engaging speaker, and he has done his homework.
He's so far from an "engaging speaker." All he did was talk about his "Jewishness."
@@leonardodalongisland i’m wondering if you even watched the full video. Yes he did talk about his Jewishness. That was appropriate to do since it helped to show that he did not have a bias toward Christianity.
He also gave all kinds of information about the shroud. For example, the fact there was billirubin found in the blood, which keeps it red because of extreme torture.
If you want to see what I personally think is hands-down, the best video on the shroud, I think the one by Brian Cray is the best. There you will see all kinds of scientific and historical data that show that the shroud is no way, and could not possibly be, a Medieval forgery.
Barry gives far more scientific and historic details in other videos. He only had a short time to talk at TEDx.
@@loricalass4068 You acknowledge the one and only bit of “evidence” he spoke about and that I mentioned: billirubin found in the blood! Did you even read what I wrote! And his Jewish-ness had NOTHING to do with taking photos. He wasn’t hired as a scientist or even as someone to make any statements. He was hire to click the shutter of his cameras. There is not only no such thing as “bias” is the world of photography. It’s mechanical operation; you press a button, a mirror flips up, light from the object in focus passes through, strikes the film. That’s it. No options, feelings, thoughts, or religion involved. You claim that “he also gave all kinds of information about the shroud, and again, only mentioned the one thing I mentioned. Where are “all” the other supporting bits of “evidence”???? It may not be a “medieval forgery,” but there is NO way it can be linked to a particular man (that many not even have existed). There is no “Jesus DNA.” That cloth (if it’s real) could have been wrapped around any of 10, 000 men. Come on-exhibit at least a modicum of logic.
@@leonardodalongisland P.S. in case you didn’t get the obvious from my post. The shroud is mir-ac-u-lous. Highly qualified. Scientists have said there is no way to reproduce it even with modern technology. And of course you yourself, dear, couldn’t reproduce it, or even guess how it could be reproduced.
When Christ was alive on earth, many saw him doing miracles, but not all believed. He left a humongous miracle for us in his resurrection. He gives you the chance to believe. Even now with miracles. But if you reject him, how very sad for you.

THE SHROUD IS A LIE. #1 The BIBLE gave proof that Jesus had his beard torn off his face: "I offered My back to those who struck Me, & My cheeks to those who tore out My beard ". Mat 26:67 #2 John 20:5-7 5 "Peter went straight into the tomb [where] he saw the strips of linen ...as well as the 'cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head'. #3 Jesus was stripped of his clothing, tied to a post & beaten until his flesh hung in shreds. Isa 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him because his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being & his form marred beyond human likeness" Jesus no longer looked like a 'man'. He was a mass off shredded blood & skin. The shroud would have been soaked in blood covering a distorted body not resembling a human. #4 This is the 2nd Commandment of God: "You shall not make any graven image, or 'any likeness' of any thing that is 'in heaven' above" Ex 20:3 Jesus is the only sinless being who walked the earth, therefore He obeyed all ten Commandments. Jesus would never, ever sin against His Father in Heaven, so Jesus would never, ever have allowed himself to be grafted into a piece of cloth to resemble a graven image.
When I think of Barrie, I think of Jesus' words concerning Nathaniel: Here is a man WITHOUT GUILE!!! Ane THAT is why God chose him to be on the Team! Well done, Elohim!
The Shroud is authentic. Praise Christ!
it's a hoax a money spinner for the church off rome and nothing short of idolatry. Christ does not condone relics
John do even scientific studies unbiased show its truth These are the end of days and Jesus is revealing what has been hidden
Amen!
Not Me, Him! I have watched many documentaries over years and I think it is a fake.
@@johndo3930 Is Christ a hoax too? Religion is man made.
The man was beaten in his face, scourged with roman whips, crowned with thorns as though mocking his messianic claims, pierced with a roman spear, his bones were not broken like other crucifixion wictims, then he was buried in a beautiful linen cloth which was unthinkable for a criminal, he was laid in a grave in Jerusalem surrounded by flowers from that specific place, etc. there are so many facts about the suffering of the man on the shroud, that it ALL combined only fits one account: that of the suffering of Jesus of Nazareth. The fact that jews took the actual bloodstained cloth out of the grave is in itself a proof that something is special, because jews would never do such a thing, touching a dead man. Still denying that all these proofs don't point to one particular man and one particular instant in history, can only be an act of the will: Some people will not accept facts because of a fear they have. They themselves know the nature of this fear.
And the Jews hated Him so much, they buried Him FACE DOWN. Might want to mention that.
L.M. McCormick Joseph of Arimathea buried Christ, not “the Jews”.
His disciple Joseph wrapped him in the shroud and placed him in the cave so the fact that it was a nice piece if linen points to nothing other than he was entombed with care by a friendly party
@@jeyDsixx18 Yet, still a common criminal would not have been given this care or tortured and crucified in the same specific way.
Nor is there anything else to compare it with because it wasn't important enough to keep and preserve anyone else's burial cloth from that time period.
@@balamclay7871 nor would it be proper to keep a death shroud, much less to venerate it.
there is no way that the Shroud is fake ! , no chance. God left gave us this amazing artefact for our era because we are the only ones who are able to study it so it was made for us because we need it most .
@ Rich Souks... Look up this video: Evidence for the Shroud of Christ! Resurrection 2021

Moses also resisted God’s call, but in the end he lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, on dry land through the Red Sea. I’m very moved by Barrie’s courage.
I just saw the documentary on the shroud of Turin and all the scientific doubters who were present and worked on the shroud became believers not by faith but by evidence that their carbon dating was flawed and disproved by 2 religious people they called lunatics
Valdemar Daraujo I watched that to. Fascinating
Link please?
All the scientific studies I've read on it, say it's far too new to be authentic.
I watched it too. They interwove 2 different fibers from different timeframes
They have faith in the evidence, not 'faith in faith,' which id fideism and mere credulity. Thomas demonstrated this when he saw the risen Christ who enjoined (us) that historical testimony from reliable witnesses is a form of evidence and ought not be discounted. (Remember Occam and Sherlock from the talk.)
I have the same blood type that was found on the Shroud of Turin! Only 0.5% of the world has this blood type. I have always felt very close to Jesus.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
What blood type is that??
I just learned that Barrie passed away a few days ago.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
May his soul rest in peace amen
This adorable man has made a whole career out of this! Thank God his parents left Poland prior to WW2. It’s his skepticism that helps prove its authenticity.
Loved it! Thank You!
#1 Jesus had his beard torn off his face: "I offered My back to those who struck Me, & My cheeks to those who tore out My beard ". Mat 26:67 #2 John 20:5-7 5 "Peter went straight into the tomb [where] he saw the strips of linen ...as well as the 'cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head'. #3 Jesus was stripped of his clothing, tied to a post & beaten until his flesh hung in shreds. Isa 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him because his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being & his form marred beyond human likeness" Jesus no longer looked like a 'man'. He was a mass off shredded blood & skin. The shroud would have been soaked in blood covering a distorted body not resembling a human. #4 This is the 2nd Commandment of God: "You shall not make any graven image, or 'any likeness' of any thing that is 'in heaven' above" Ex 20:3 Jesus is the only sinless being who walked the earth, therefore He obeyed all ten Commandments. Jesus would never, ever sin against His Father in Heaven, so Jesus would never, ever have allowed himself to be grafted into a piece of cloth to resemble a graven image. the shroud is a lie.
Thank you for this talk ...
Thank you for your candor and your scholarship, Barry. One more step, and you'll be there!
Mr. Barry is obviously very intelligent and seemingly honest. I respect his position and his right to believe. What I don’t understand is how the shroud is still up for debate. One doesn’t have to be a scientist or subject matter expert to detect a fatal flaw. If a person were to take a bed sheet or material that is similar to the shroud, apply a thin layer of paint, then carefully wrap their face with the sheet, and then unwrap they would realize that the profile of their face would be greatly distorted. The shroud has a profile that resembles a picture or portrait. The shroud of Turin was not wrapped around a persons face.
I fully agree, but this comment sections seems to be full of "believers." It's hopeless, bro.
@@wabisabi6875 yeah…they latched on to this one.
God Bless you, Barrie!
God can only Woo, He cannot Ravish, as C. S. Lewis wrote.
Very good, never knew that one.
U
John Donne would beg to disagree.
Quote Bible not ppl.
bLue pill it’s called free choice. God doesn’t ravish, people simply choose not to be in his presence. Don’t blame that choice a person makes themselves on God. People who do not accept God simply get exactly what they want.
Well that was fantastic, thank you.
Meaning "fantasy."
Mazel Tov Brother Barrie Schwortz , God bless you 🌿
This guy is really smart I love his lectures.
"Science is man's attempt to understand God's creation"....Mr. Barry Schwartz
Truely words of WISDOM!!
The information say he teaches it may be . He stood right there and said it is. God is Great
Barrie, Wonderful to see you on TEDx my good friend. I've helped produce one here in Malibu, California recently. I always love to hear your perspective on the shroud, and better yet, your personal views and your story. Please keep in touch! Rich Tamayo, TVP Studios / TVPLIVE. (Now in Orange County)
I am one of the skeptics Schwortz was talking about. Even if the blood on the shroud is authentic blood, there is no guarantee that it was christ's blood. A photographer in the 1970s published an in article in one of the photography mags that he had duplicated the method in which the shroud had been reproduced. He said he used the spices & dressings which were traditionally used in early AD, and draped the cloth over a supine stone effigy. After three days, he photographed the image which had transferred onto the fabric, and he published the images. They resembled the shroud's ghostly image.
I googled the shroud of Turin: Historical and scientific evidence points to it being a medieval creation [that is, well beyond the time of christ's burial]. It [the shroud] is first securely attested in 1390, when a local bishop wrote that the shroud was a forgery and that an unnamed artist had confessed; radiocarbon dating of a sample of the fabric is consistent with this date.
The lecturer may believe--and belief is not proof--that the shroud at one time covered christ, but I don't.
It is OK to be a sceptic. The Church itself has never declared that it IS the Shroud that Jesus was wrapped in. It does know that the Shroud Points to CHrist which is the most important thing. Prehaps that is why we have it. Authentic or Not. You need to Update your facts and see if they still match your old information. Don't close your mind yet!
Learn more about it.
Where are the photos of this duplicate?
Perhaps you would benefit by doing more research on the shroud.
@@joebrinson5040: I've done all the research on "the shroud" that I need to do. It is patently fraudulent, and there is no benefit to be gained from "researching" beyond that point. The shroud has the same validity as bleeding or weeping icons of mary, "fragments of the true cross," pieces of the ark, bones of the saints, or any other religious relics that were routinely sold during the benighted advent of christ's supposed emergence as the savior of mankind. Here's what Google has to say about the shroud:
"The first possible historical record dates from 1353 or 1357, and the first certain record (in Lirey, France) in 1390 when Bishop Pierre d'Arcis wrote a memorandum to Pope Clement VII (Avignon Obedience), stating that the shroud was a forgery and that the artist had confessed." This "shroud" was manufactured over 1300 years after X supposedly died. BUT: You can probably buy one of X's sandals on eBay if you act now, while supplies last. When you get the sandal, be sure to check the size to be sure it's authentic; he had small feet. Size 8. And make sure it wasn't made in China.
There not much left of a future but education on this now is truly valuable. Barry’s testimony is very valuable to the ‘truth’.
thank you so much for this testimony. God bless you always Barry and rest forever in His heavenly abode
19:00 "How did I become an expert on the Shroud?" This sounds like a version of Survivor bias. How did my puppy end up in my home? He'll never know. He'll never understand or comprehend the intricate details that led to me adopting him.
But I will this: the Shroud is the only piece of evidence out there that I in anyway hold as a possibly authentic link to any metaphysical claim.
I don't get how that is a survivor bias. I think he's just appealing to the audience, as most public speakers should otherwise they might bore.
Man this is fascinating! It would make a great movie.

¡Gracias Jesús, Dios mío!
Jesús viene a chile ⭐
Wow... So beautiful words! So blessed opportunity to watch Barrie Schwortz. Thanks!
Aprecciate for Barrie Schwortz from Romania 🇷🇴
What a wonderful lecture!
I wish he would've taken this opportunity to talk more about the science proving the authenticity of the Shroud and less about himself.
Imagine - "misleading media reports" - ALL the proof you need!!!! God bless you on your journeys! Thank you Barrie. Thank you Jesus!!!!
Thank you Barrie
is he saying God is real ? or is he telling us why he believes? I think it's both
A Jewish atheist lady was in the hospital.
A Catholic priest was making his rounds visiting people. The two became good friends. She admitted she was afraid of dying. The priest said
“Pray to God for peace.”
She said
“I’m an atheist, I don’t believe in God.”
The priest said
“It’s ok, he believes in you.”
If she was Jewish, why didn't she believe in God... sigh...
@Helen Galilee Been Jewish is not only a religion but an ethnicity (she was a Jewish = ethnicity Atheist = religion/lack off...its really not that complicated.
Good point, we are to witness and testify as a messenger but it is up to one's freewill to believe.
just something I've always found curious: why would those that wrapped the body and laid it in the tomb have left the nails and crown of thorns (which was placed on his head in a mockery) in place?
I don't see a crown of thorns or nails when I look at the shroud image. I see wounds. Maybe you're thinking of some other pictures which are just an artist's rendering.
Those who were rushing to finish before the Sabbath began at sundown.
Notice they were coming back to finish the job early Sunday morning when they found Him gone.
They didn't! The objects of execution were thrown down a cistern and found 3 centuries later. The image of Jesus on the Shroud shows his wounds not the actual crown of thorns or the nails!
I think when Jesus resurrected, we can really and truly say he was "gone in a flash"!
not so...he was partly dressed.
'went up in smoke'?
JDvorak2009 😉
no one knows for sure...because...no one was there when it supposedly happened 2)no one could find the body, so how could they possible know for sure...that he ascended to heaven 3)the witnesses are all dead and gone now...so...technically, there is no testimony....4)only one way to prove the shroud of turin is real..and we all know the answer to that.....
@@sheezamann2724 Hmmm . . . Well, if you believe that to verify historical facts there have to be witnesses still alive, do you trust that Nazis dominated Europe?
How blessed was this man to learn the truth and blessed we are to be watching today. Thank you Jesus for your pain and strife to save our pathetic souls. God bless all.
