Two forms of animal symbolism

By Gman4326

I go to the behavior of these animals in order to come up with the symbolism.

Sheep as a form of animal symbolism

According to [1] sheep 101 the sheep enjoy being part of a flock and despise being alone. They live off their instincts and they frighten easily. They are loyal only to their shepherds. We consider them dumb because the sheep want to be part of a flock.

Goat as a form of symbolism

According to [2] Cheryl K Smith, goats live in a hierarchical system. There is a goat queen and a head buck. They use biting and butting to communicate and shows who dominates. When left alone goats are considered self-sufficient.

When man denies the existence of God they act like goats.

Symbolism is made of....

By Gman4326

Symbolism is made of two parts. One is historical and the other is philosophical. On the historical part is associated with what is passed down from parent to child, factual and, truthful. On the philosophical end is associated a man worldview, [1] epistemology, and how a man worships.

Who is responsible to promulgate in this area?

There is the body of believers and there is corporate worship. It is not the job of the church (corporate) to develop the systematic forms of symbolism but to be a place to worship God. However, it is the job of the church (body of believers) to engage in this area. This can be done in different ways. One is singing, another by reading or writing poetry, stories, drama and other forms of literature; finally by painting out of what God has created.

[2] How man knows what he knows.

When symbolism did not exist in the world

A cloth maker who is a member of a local church had extra samples. Honey do you need these samples for quilting or Britch patching, asks the husband to his wife? We have plenty, answers the wife. Anyone else needs these samples, asks her husband? No one has asked to purchase these samples, responds the wife. I bet the pastor certainly can do something with these. So I'll give them to the pastor after church this Sunday saying to himself thoughtfully. Pastor, says the cloth maker. Thank you for coming to church again the pastor says to another person. Yes, cloth maker. How can i help you, asks the pastor? I have extra samples i want to give to you, answers the gentlemen. Don't you use your samples for simple quilting patterns or to patch up clothing, asks the pastor? Normally yes, pastor but my wife and others are making several quilts for children and adults. These samples are what is left, answers the cloth maker. See you next pastor, another group passes the two in conversation. May God bless you this week, responds the pastor. So you have no use for these samples at all or give them away to someone else, asks the pastor? If it was possible I would have done so, answers the cloth maker. Can I look at the samples, asks the pastor? The cloth maker shows the pastor the cloth. Let me see, a couple of red, white, green and blue pieces of material.

Red could represent blood and Christ Jesus sacrifice gives us our hope and faith. White could represent purity and life. Green could represent nature and also God green earth. Blue could represent heaven where Christ Jesus throne exists, says the pastor to himself thoughtfully. How much for the samples, asks the pastor? There free to you, answers the cloth maker. Pastor asks the question a second time? They normally cost 5 copper coins, answers the cloth maker. For the entire selection or each cloth type, asks the pastor? Cloth type, answers the cloth maker. Here are twenty copper coins the pastor says to the cloth maker. The pastor counts out twenty one cent copper coins. Thank you for your business pastor, says the cloth maker. No problem answers the pastor. A day has passed. It is the residence of pastor. Can I turn one of these into a bow I wonder, asks the pastor to himself thoughtfully? Let me see, bend one end into a u shape, and then tie into a bow. Voila, at least the white is long enough. I can use this on Easter Sunday and explain to the congregation that the elders and deacons of the church are not endorsing my actions. A while later! There is the old rugged cross. I’ll shape the cloth I have been practicing with on the empty cross, mention the pastor to his own breath. What are you doing, inquires one of elders of the church? Adding a temporary prop to the cross, responds the pastor. Temporary only, asks the elder? It will be temporary elder, answers the pastor. As this is Easter as the pastor begins to explain about the white bow on tied to the cross. Without the permission of the elders and deacons, nor is it the right of the governing body to give me such permission. I do this as a member of the church not as a leader. This white bow symbolizes Christ victory over death itself when he rose from the dead, which ended the explanation the pastor gave to his congregation. The End!

One of the things I spoke on:

Regulative principles for the arts with Scripture proof.

Epistemology:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1-2) out of nothing by the means of the spoken word (Psalm 33:6-9). God gives certain men stewardship knowledge out of the material which He created; tents, (Genesis 4:20) music (vs21); metal working (vs22); Ark (Genesis 6:14-18); Tabernacle (Exodus 35:4-35).

Stewardship:
God allows both in the spoken (Hosea 12:10) and the (1 Kings 4:29-34) literary word to be used. God does forbid the sculpturing of an image for the purpose to be worshiped (Exodus 20:4) but the believer must worship God in spirit and in truth (john 4:24).

A talk on symbolism and a decline on christian thought.

By Gman4326

I went to a Boston Catholic Newspaper website to see if they have a definition for symbolism and they do. I'm releasing the raw audio. It is 22 minutes and 30 seconds long.

But why would I do that?
To have contrast with other Christian groups are doing.

I'm speaking in a monochrome voice.

Dependence upon GOD

By Gman4326

Who does the impoverished man cried out to for aid? Is it not the one who sits on the mercy seat? Is any civil magistrate immune from insurrection? Unless the LORD brings peace unto the land it is simply impossible for it to happen. Was it not the LORD who created the waves and the currents therein? Who else fashioned the starry night sky? Is not the answer obvious? Who gave wisdom too Oholiab and Bezel in order to build the tabernacle? Was it not the LORD? God and the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; loves those who fear Him and know they are dependent upon his lovingkindness alone.
Psalm 33:16-19; Psalm 20:7; 1 Samuel 2:9; Psalm 147: 9-11; Proverbs 21:31;
