An article found on bible archaeology website from July 7 2011 shows a picture of a prisoner dying on a cross the proper way. A man's hands are tied by rope and two nails piercing each leg. A Dr. Edwards wrote an article 1986, for which it can be found online. Describes an upper bar and a horizontal bar that weighs a total of 300 pounds and this method was meant to send a message to not mess with Rome or her right to rule over them. Crucifixion in the ancient world was no joke. A first Century believer understood that taking up the cross and follow Him meant not only to die to oneself but your are pilgrim in strange world full of selfish people.

Gman4326 Banners and Arms

By Gman4326

There are different aspects when it comes symbolism one these is called the nonverbal identifier. This allows an artist to start off with an object such as a shield then draw something in the middle or different drawings to make something more complex. The purpose is to advance the plot in a story or program.

Basic

This a simple shield.



Different Coats of Arms







The cross



Faith



Streams of Faith



The different uses are:

1. Military emblem

2. City emblem

3. Family emblem

4. Draw a person into the story This is what the language of symbolism is all about. To bring a deeper meaning to what it is simple.

How times change

by Gman4326
An article was written and published by the New York Post in 1989. The story was about the medical data written up by the Nazis doctors and whether or not to use the information. Back then for the sake of the Victims it was and still unethical to use that data but after current leaders of planned parenthood selling of baby body parts as a form quote 'Children as a Commodity' from the 89' article and not from the videos released. How times change that what was taboo twenty six years ago is no longer the case. Something to think about?

Signs that a society is in disarray part two

Series of Questions and answers

What is Funimation?

A voice acting Studio started by Gen Fukunaga 21 years ago.

Why would Funimation be willing to VA Comcast content?

Profit purposes.

Update: Is it wrong to earn a living?
It is not wrong to earn a living.

Why would News Corp. and Time warner collude in such a manner?

For ideological reasons.

How is it ideological?

The networks do need to make a profit but behind it is purely ideological. To create a global systematized form of tropes, symbolism and storylines. They can’t do this automatically but through legalized stealing of information.

How is it legalized stealing?

We (USA) no longer understand or support Christian forms of symbolism unless one has direct interest in the field. So instead of creating original content using are systems they have to steal ideas from the host country. To me that is legalized theft.

The solution is simple.

The industry must be heavily regulated once again, to be forced back into the Hayes code which includes and updated form of the fines. Breakup the monopolies similar to the glass/stegle act. All local affiliates must be owned and operated locally. It is no longer enough to have independent companies whose corp. headquarters in Connecticut, New York or Atlanta GA. Local means local. Heavy fines must be levied on third party ownership of said networks. Man loves his corruption to want that to happen.

Signs that a society is in disarray!

For profit content provider: A company that produces content that is then distributed by said provider.

Product: Television shows or Movies

This is not done in our society. The content provider can produce a product that is distributed by someone else. When Sid and Marty krofft released their shows a generation ago they were small time content providers selling to either local or national distributor sites. To me this makes sense. But when Fox (news corp.) or warner bros. collude together it is called monopoly, especially when FCC does nothing to stop it. This laze fare attitude needs to stop. How come, one may ask? Unless you live in a large market L.A or N.Y city the local networks want to buy re-runs on the cheap. This harms the entire infrastructure of our entertainment system. NBC (Comcast) is already building new markets by producing product overseas and having it redistributed locally through a third-party called Funimation. They quite frankly make us watch garbage on there local affiliates, while spending money to ruin another nations entertainment platform. It is that apathic attitude we have in our culture that allows this garbage to continue.

Gender?

By Gman4326

In certain places in this purple mountains majesty using the terms boys and girls is to exclusive according to the school district in Lincoln Nebraska. The new inclusive term is purple penguins. Those of us from the old school need to understand that homeschooling is EVIL but government endorsed education is GOOD. I have a few articles on this very blog post disagreeing with what they have to say. There is no neutrality when it comes to language for at its core it is religious. And the other side knows it.

IS it worldly to develop art and culture?

By Gman4326

*Dr. Francis Schaeffer in his 1974 book ‘art and the bible’ page thirteenth brings up a good point is performing in the fine arts, being a dramatists, or to produce such things to worldly? Does God and the father, son, holy spirit forbids such mundane lifestyle? Are not being too spiritual cause problems as well? Will you not starve if you don’t have a job! Man needs an occupation to live. Human flourishing (genesis 10) is not just getting married and procreating, or going to church on Sunday’s those things are just part of life. Worldliness to me means adopting natural philosophy Special revelation supports biblical philosophy alone. The problem in a modern society is that we have adopted too much of the former rather than the latter. IT makes many of us ^1. δίψυχος and therefore makes men ^2. ἀκατάστατος from James 1:8. With recent SCOTUS decision it is apparent being neutral is no longer an option though it never was to begin with.
 

Footnotes---

*: What is the place of art in the Christian life? Is art----especially the fine arts of painting and music ---- simply a way to bring in worldliness through the back door? We know that poetry may be used to praise God in, say, the psalms and even in modern hymns. But what about sculpture or drama? Do these have any place in the Christian life? Shouldn’t a Christian focus his gaze steadily on “religious things” alone and forget about art and culture?
