Sounds to me that these people are your enemies. Love them.Better to read His word. Hate evil. Eshew the evil. Cling to that which is good. Do not try to justify the wicked, and when we see children used in Satanic Sodom and Gomorrah rituals we should know that is evil. If we see a court condone child sacrifices, we should know that is evil. The context of the verse you cited obviously is completely unrelated.
True, I love them, but we must not love their sins.Sounds to me that these people are your enemies. Love them.
There is no religious themed art in Islam so an equi is not even an option. Also, Chris was not insulted but many Christians took it upon themselves to be offended anyway.No one would dare insult Islam like this or heads would roll, literally.
As you pointed out, in any age it would be better for those who offend His children to commit suicide.Agreed. We are in the last days, my friend. Whether that is in 2 years or 200 years, we are far closer to the Trib compared to a few decades ago.
Loving them does not mean molesting or abusing children with them. Nor condoning their descent into blasphemy and demon possession/or being given over to demon doctrinesSounds to me that these people are your enemies. Love them.
Well, maybe not that far, but at least put these offenders in prison or away from children.As you pointed out, in any age it would be better for those who offend His children to commit suicide.
This however IS demonic. Anytime our Lord is.mocked it's satanic. People who mock the savior are following demonic behaviors whether they realize it or not.I agree. Yeah, I have labeled Trump, Elon Musk, unbridled abortion, the far-left, the far-right, the 2024 Olympic opening ceremony, modern Halloween, Doctor Who's flop of a 2024 season and other things demonic before.Maybe, I could have used softer words, such as "uncalled for" or "unprecedented".
One might say, my centrist views are on a little bit of the stronger side, and I am working on toning this stuff down, and I pray to be less judgemental. The world is changing in a way that has not happened in my short 24 year lifetime though, and I am not liking what is going on. We need some more middle ground politics in 2024, and tamer entertainment like we did a few decades ago.
Yeah I'm sure many of the French were.pretty ho hum about it.I don't think it is sad at all. The French are not sad about it. I have spent a good bit of time in France and have French friends. I think Catholicism has become something of an irrelevance to them.
Church buildings are often neglected with their little congregations struggling to keep them maintained. Even their great cathedrals suffer in this way. I don't quite see how the 50% Christian figure was calculated. It might be the figure the Catholic Church puts out - a wildly optimistic figure in my view.
Well, Jill Biden on the left praised the event, Peter Sonski (my favorite candidate) in the center thought this was an "insulting display, worthy of rebuke", while Donald Trump on the right said the opening ceremony "was a disgrace". For once, I agree with Trump, even though I do not like Trump. Kamala Harris, the new potential runner for 2024 did not make any comments as of today.-So what have the current presidential candidates said about this.
Agreed. The 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020 opening ceremonies were not demonic. But the 2024 one was. The 2020s is the decade of Satan in my opinion.This however IS demonic. Anytime our Lord is.mocked it's satanic. People who mock the savior are following demonic behaviors whether they realize it or not.
I think this thread is spot on in regard to that.
Compair this opening ceremony to 2014 where ballet was featured. This ceremony was sick, twisted and demonic..
Wrong ! There most certainly is Islamic religious themed art. Just google it. I found Muhammad depicted with angels around him. This Olympic farce was absolutely offensive to the Christian community. Why is it that Christianity seems to bear the brunt of religious attacks?There is no religious themed art in Islam so an equi is not even an option. Also, Chris was not insulted but many Christians took it upon themselves to be offended anyway.
Da Vinci ‘s painting is art. It is not sacred. Have you at least had the same outrage for all the other parodies of this artwork?Wrong ! There most certainly is Islamic religious themed art. Just google it. I found Muhammad depicted with angels around him. This Olympic farce was absolutely offensive to the Christian community.

Agreed, 1000%. Art is supposed to invoke beauty, not this ugliness.-Whatever that was, it even failed at art and aesthetics.
I am outraged at any slandering of Christianity. No Da Vinci’s painting is not sacred but it depicts a sacred event. The foolishness at the Olympics was a blatant slam of Christianity. This was viewed world wide and was not just another parody. Many liberals try to spin this but it is falling on deaf ears.Da Vinci ‘s painting is art. It is not sacred.

Art is subjective. Some only see art as beauty. Others will see a range of emotion and reaction as art. Ultimately, art is provacative.Agreed, 1000%. Art is supposed to invoke beauty, not this ugliness.
True, but art that is sexual should stay off the television. If one wants sexual art, they can open up an adult magazine or pop in a dirty VHS. I am not into that stuff, cos I keep it clean.Art is subjective. Some only see art as beauty. Others will see a range of emotion and reaction as art. Ultimately, art is provacative.
Why is it not just another parody? Why are you so outraged at this one? It’s not even clear that this isn’t a direct depiction of Dionysus. There are many equivalent artworks of a feast with Dionysus at the center of a feast ( halo included). It seems that Da Vinci may have been painting an homage to a much older tradition.I am outraged at any slandering of Christianity. No Da Vinci’s painting is not sacred but it depicts a sacred event.

American sensibilities in regards to nudity and sex are still in the dark ages.True, but art that is sexual should stay off the television. If one wants sexual art, they can open up an adult magazine or pop in a dirty VHS. I am not into that stuff, cos I keep it clean.
