Relics.


We have had a host of TV programmes on the so-called 'educational channels' of SKY.
'Educational?' - Purest rubbish from history based on relics has featured widely in a number of allegedly 'serious' programmes.
The Shroud of Turin, 4 Spears of Christ, multiple pieces of 'the true cross' - with enough bits extant to make a small skyscraper - crowns of thorns, cloths imbued with the 'blood (or sweat) of Christ', crucifixion nails, holy grails in abundance. What a load of tosh! ALL without serious provenance!
Most would have been out and out frauds with just a few having 'a soupçon of added optimism'.
Why do so many fall prey to this guff along with fingers, toenails, hair and even skin of so-called saints? Head of John The Baptist anyone? - Which one?
The Bible simply describes all believers as having sainthood!
Christianity is a religion based on FAITH and The GRACE of GOD. Demanding as it does, that we have a relationship with God The Son - all of the rest is trivial nonsense.

An Unending Stream.
