I don't think it matters if its real or not.

Having said that, it is very hard NOT to think it is real and that the Christ really left something to confound and confuse the "wisdom of the world". Of course He also did in so many other more important ways, but this is almost like an insult to man's "wisdom", and whats more, something physical - many people say they need some "proof", well, this is about as close as your going to get to that kind of "proof".

But what if it was somehow proven to be authentic? What then? I'll tell you want then, nothing. People will not realize (or even want to realize) the full extent of their fall until they are face to face with Him (including me). And then we will all really feel what it is like to sin against love.
