By Gman4326

2166BC - 1991BC
During the reign of Nimrod the king of Akkadian Empire,
8th generation grandson of Shem; a son of Terah was born
in the city of Ur.
It was taught that, the idea for self defense is to go after
the men responsible and not every individual who is carrying
a weapon. A basic armed self-defense tactic is too, isolate
and surround the enemy. The objective was to have them
to sue for peace.
A basic communication skill it learned was too mediate
on the behalf of others.
It name meant High Father and later Father of many nations.
After God judged the Chaldeans, by confusing their once common
speech in order to separate them.
Terah moved the family to Harran. Even though it is not
known what the name of the empty voices of nothing worshipped
by them. The one who is ascribed in this biography here.
Continued to support the things made out of human hands.
Every solstice idol had a festival. It was routine for people
to show up for the main event. This individual wanted to honor
the idol without harming of those who could not fight back.
During the winter solstice cult festive where babies
were killed and burned on an altar. This was a small
step It would either find or purchase wheat to be burned in
a small campfire.
Later, it married opposite of its own gender.
This man chosen by God to be saved. Would leave Harran after
his father death. God promised to bless those
who were kind to him and those who were less than kind
to him. A long with Sarah, Lot, servants and
posessions (Genesis 12:1-4)
There was a famine in Canaan.
God decided to send Abraham to Egypt. It was typical in
this period to use women who are not married as a form entry
fee. Since Sarah was Abraham sister and was beautiful.
He decided to use Sarah as mean to enter Egypt.
Had a son with Sarah handmaiden named Ishmael.
A boy was promised to Sarah and his name was Isaac.
Abraham after bringing the cut up pieces of animals to be sacrificed. He was promised by the Good Lord land extending from the Wadi
(modern day Nile river)
to the Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18-21) The Savior would
be born into the family. HE would rescue Abraham descendants
from slavery. Covenant of Circumcision's which was fulfilled
by Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In 6BC when he was eight days old. Abraham's people did not fight in the Salt Wars until his nephew Lot was taken hostage.
Acted like Christ the mediator when the ancient of days was deciding to send angels to Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:1-21)
Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac
in the land named Moriah (Genesis 22). By this time he
knew Isaac would resurrect from the dead. A concept learned
over the many years in service to GOD.
After Sarah death, Abraham sent one of his men back to
Harran. His job was bring back a bride for Isaac.
A few years later Abraham passes away.
This end the life of Abraham son of Terah!

His greatest sins were lying and lack of faith in triune God.

 

Anthropocentric liberal free will

By Gman4326

"Satan want’s anthropomorphic man or the race of man to believe each individual is morally good". Found in 'this is my personal view'. Liberalism need limits put on it. To prevent God judgment and the enviable tyranny that come from the hard heart place upon us. Liberalism comes from God opening doors to other point of view. Our knowledge is as fallen as our will. As an example i wrote a Creation Primer. I assume not everyone agree with my point of view. Yet many climate supporters, whom i would call fools. Feel same way about me as well. These point of view or other will always vie for someone attention. If liberalism want to stay vibrant we must be willing to take steps to denounce Progressivism as a cult and those supporting it as Satanic.

Notes from Christian Art by R.C Sproul0001

By Gman4326

For example Rembrandt and Beethoven and other Composers and painters of this era were dedicated Christians. It seems today that in the Christian community sense that the arts are both beneath them, too secular, and to dark for them to get involved in. There are three main concerns that are found in the Christian community what is good, true and the beautiful.
Good:
The science of ethics
True:
The science of philosophy or epistemology
Beautiful:
Deals in the science of aesthetics
The science of what is beautiful comes to us directly or indirectly from the pages of the bible. The beginning of art and its ultimate foundation comes from creation itself.  The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth therein Psalm 19:1. Going from biblical art too history. By divine edict the people were to contribute items in the making of the tabernacle. The metals donated would be melted down in order to make the Goblets, candlesticks, the arc outer foundation and other items being used by Levite priests. Oholiab was given a charismatic gift by God help in the construction of the tabernacle. The Church can at times with art inside can be considered a place of where human arrogance lies especially during the time of war. Such as during WW2 when Vatican was untouched by both Axis and Allies alike. Yet the children were starving and it seemed the artwork could have sold in order to the feed them. Today the endeavor in Christian arts is typified by the contents found in your local Christian bookstore. For your coffee table a set praying hand made out of some sort of pressed muck. Christian posters to adorn ones wall with suitable graffiti as to sanctify them to justify the expense. Perhaps a plastic cube with a mustard seed entombed within to boost your understanding of faith….
There is a level of acceptance in the Christian community that art is superficial and is reproduced for individual consumption. In one word boring, the beautiful should never be boring. He went to see a minister one time and hanging on of the office walls was a reprint of a painting by Rembrandt entitled in English “Jeremiah lamenting over Jerusalem”. In order to capture a moment of a subject life Rembrandt would read a book written by said person and then he would paint it.

Notes from Jesus in Art000001

By Gman4326

This not from his entire lecture:

According to Mr. Harries in his lecture on Jesus in Art; early depictions of our savior found in the roman catacombs was that of a wonder worker. (At the 0:41 second mark) Magic played a major role in society until the 1600’s, at the one minute and three second mark. So the early Christian church wanted to supplant what the magicians were doing by emphasizing Christ miracles over magic itself. Jesus was also depicted as a teacher in the catacombs as well. (02:12 min mark) In the fourth century [301-401AD] period, when people would build sarcophagi for their friend’s one of these images was Christ without a beard being brought before Pilate. (02:40min. mark) Arian churches depicted Jesus without a beard in the fourth century and the more orthodox worship halls depicted Christ with a beard on. However when the orthodox leaders took over those places they left those images alone. (010:20-31 min. mark) Possible discrepancy in why Christ was sometimes with or without a beard could be a trend found in the fourth century starting with Constantine who had no beard while ruling. However since Jewish rabbi’s did have beards at the time. What was certain him with or without beard was not left in the hands of the artist. (011:00 to 012:00 minute mark) By the 500’s Christ was depicted with a beard became the only trademark that is consistent to this day. Eusebius wrote in his book on church history a letter sent by king Agmar sent to Christ. Later a painting was done depicting this king holding a towel with Jesus face on it as if he was healing Agmar himself. Until 1914 orthodox soldiers carried a similar image of his face and what it appears to be a towel in background of the center where Christ face is to be found. (014:06min. mark); Here in the west a woman named veronica who was supposed to wipe Christ face while he was carrying cross with some sort of cloth. There is an image her in background holding onto a large piece of cloth with Jesus face on it. (014:29min. mark) First copies are found in the 14th century.
Different styles in which Christ was depicted in:
As an Irishman date 8th century
As a Catalonian king found in Barcelona date 12th century
In a medieval woodcarving found in Germany            
During the cathedral building period some doors found him as judge or in his magisterium role. (016:00min. to 017:55min. mark)
Mr. Harries shows three different slides on Christ passion
⦁ Man of sorrows 020:02 minute marked late medieval period around the 1520AD
⦁ Seeing salvation this scene is not found in the bible, date 1500AD 021:30 minute mark; based on medieval piety from northern Europe.
⦁ The soul contemplating the suffering of Christ 022:20 minute marked artist Velasquez 1620’s
Judgment and purgatory was highly emphasized during the medieval period. Twenty three minute marked  
Renaissance artist emphasized Christ Jesus humanity during the 13th and 14th century AD (023:22 minute mark). Once in Sienna Italy now in New York depicts Christ being tempted. (024:17min. mark) Found in Sienna a picture of Christ washing the feet of his disciples, another art panel showing Christ in front of Pilate. In the Scraviggno chapel is an artwork done by a humanist artist in which Judas is betraying Christ Jesus with a kiss (025:31min. mark)
During the high renaissance period there was a great emphasis on powerful perspective, the beauty of the body, emotion and drama. (026:18 min. mark) Dead body of Jesus done by an artist named Mantegna. (026:32min. mark) Sculpture work called Peita, by Michelangelo from the late 15th to early 16th century AD. (027:11min. mark) Sculpture work called Nicodemius by the same artist who depicts himself holding on to Christ. (027:41min. mark); During the height of the counter-reformation (17th century) there was a greater emphasis of drama and the use of the light and dark colors. An artist called El Greco was painting during this time period (028:57min. mark); One such artwork was called cleansing out the temple. (029:20min. mark) Rembrandt who began using baroque style painting towards the end used a more personal style form artwork. A pencil drawing called the 100 guilders was based on Matthew 19.

God is the source of creative knowledge

By Gman4326

The Apostle Paul, while writing to the Members, Elders and

Deacons, of the local Church in Philippi. In the original
tongue. Did something very special. (1)He took a fragment
of a well known hymn at that time.
Probably from Jerusalem and added it to the letter.
It is Who, existing in the form of God, did not
consider equality with God something to cling to,
but emptied Himself, taking the form a servant,
being made in human likeness. And being found in
appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient
to death ---- even death on a cross. Therefore God
exalted Him to the highest place, and gave Him the name
above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

When women treat the opposite sex badly

By Gman4326

Good looks who has since graduated from College. On a busy
Friday spending time with friends. Sparkling of the neon
as beams of light. Inaudible conversation going on.
The air is thick of different senses.
This variety includes cheap to expensive
perfume and colognes. Either to mask people smoking tobacco,
sweating heavily, or even wearing dirty clothes. The sidewalk
in which they are on is hot because of the multitude on it.
She runs into her little sister locking hands. With a man,
based on mere appearances wearing a letter jacket from a
different school. From the one her sister is currently
attending.
Gulp!!
What is wrong, the young man asks? My sister is waving at
me, answers little sis. How is this bad, asking a follow
up question?
Dunno!!
She being defensive all of a sudden, saying it thoughtfully.
Before i left the apartment someone knocked on the door,
speaking in a nonchalant manner. How dare she make me
lie for her, thinking it while speaking to her imotou.
Dropping all pretense.
Hmph!!
What is that too you, Onisan. Because girls like you
make us look bad. We are on a date here, could shelve
this topic until later.
Stay out of this!! Both of them say in tandem.
What!!
Young man, please read in to the situation, mention
good look to the boy.
Quite frankly, she is on a date with me. And, if
she want to date other boys is fine with me.
You should be ashamed with yourself, have more pride as
a man.
Ignore him, you started talking with me, the little sis
interrupts the their heated conversation.
Their are other fish in sea Onisan. Yes, their are but
mistreating the other boy will lead to men who will abuse you.
We are the weaker of the sex and when you need a night in
shinning armor. He will be married; and you will either be
stuck in a loveless marriage or dead, good look wrapping up
her speech.
Pit Pat!!
I don't believe you big sis.
The End!!
