The Early Church and Religious Images


All denominations claim that their worship is like that of the early Christians. Protestants say the Catholic use of religious images is idolatry. Catholics disagree. Who is right? What did the early Christians believe about religious images?

Tomb Raider - Angel Of Darkness - Louvre Galleries - Part 3


If you check the PC, the painting on the wall and the sketches next to the door, you will learn here more things about the Obscura Paintings. There were five images painted on thick wooden bases and they were created by Black Alchemist Peter Van Eckhard in the 13 or 1400's. Together the five paintings hide something called the Sanglyph or The Blood Sign. Lux Veritatis seized the Paintings from Eckhard and painted over with religious imagery. Each Painting has a metallic symbol of power built into it and that's why Eckhard wants the Paintings. Brother Obscura is the artist who painted over the original images. He was ordered to disguise the Paintings with religious imagery. The Paintings were hidden, but he made secret copies of them, sketches, and hid them too. These copies became known as Obscura Engravings. These Engravings contain encrypted maps of a Painting secret location. Once you get the Card, exit to the hallway and use it to the socket at the end. Open the exit door and head down the stairs. There are two doors on each side of the next room, but you can open only the right hand one. There is a guard in the gallery that the rightmost security monitor showed you before. You can shoot the guard or take him out stealthily. The guard patrols around the room and you cannot tell his exact point. If you open the door and he comes towards you, you do not have another choice but to shoot him, because he will see you in a few seconds. If you open the door and he just <b>...</b>

Fox News: libraries can't show anti-religious art


In this interview from Fox News some guy comes on and suggests that libraries don't have the legal right to have anti-religious art in their exhibits. Feel free to comment and criticize. Correct me if I am wrong but I do not think that the man manages to string together a coherent legal argument. It came across as white noise to me. Am I missing something? I think it would be absurd if anything religious or non-religious was prohibited from libraries. I do not have a problem with religious art being sold at libraries, government institution or not. Pictures of crosses, or art with other religious imagery, is in my opinion perfectly acceptable if it is being sold _as art_ in a library, and not being used to promote religion. The same is true of anti-religious art. It becomes a problem only when the state is putting religion (or irreligion) where it doesn't belong, like in schools, on the money, or in the pledge of allegiance. In that case, it is simply a promotion of religion by the government. Here, we are not talking about the promotion or religion or irreligion. We are talking about art being sold at a library. It would be very strange indeed if libraries were prohibited from holding items that have any implications for religion (positive or negative). The reason libraries are allowed to carry religious books, like the bible, is because they are not being used to promote religion. They are being held as part of the libraries collection -this is an acceptable purpose for <b>...</b>

Pareidolia


In September, 2007, the so-called "monkey tree phenomenon" caused a minor social mania in Singapore. A callus on a tree resembled a monkey, and believers flocked to the tree to pay homage to the "Monkey God". Pareidolia (pronounced /pærɪˈdoʊliə/ pa-ri-DOE-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- -- "beside", "with", or "alongside"—meaning, in this context, something faulty or wrong (as in paraphasia, disordered speech) and eidōlon -- "image"; the diminutive of eidos -- "image", "form", "shape". Pareidolia is a type of apophenia. There have been many instances of perceptions of religious imagery and themes, especially the faces of religious figures, in ordinary phenomena. Many involve images of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, or the word Allah. In 1978, a New Mexican woman found that the burn marks on a tortilla she had made appeared similar to the traditional western depiction of Jesus Christ's face. Thousands of people came to see the framed tortilla. The recent publicity surrounding sightings of religious figures and other surprising images in ordinary objects, combined with the growing popularity of online auctions, has spawned a market for such items on eBay.

My feelings about Obama's win, Unity, Spirituality and Dogs. Words & Music by Maya Angelou, Ashford & Simpson, title is "Been Found". The religious imagery refers to the fact that there exists a "Religious Left", which is also "Right", as in ethically correct, and that is who also helped elect Obama. It does not intend to imply that Obama is like a religious figure, of any religion. Check out my other videos. Show me your thumbs. Refer a friend. Leave a comment. Enjoy.

Occult Religious Art


I made this video to point out all the occult imagery that is hidden in plain sight in Christian religious art. Almost all the most famous artworks in the World have some clue that hints at the fact that Jesus Christ is Satan the Morning Star. Just go to Google and type in 'moses horns images' and look at all the religious artwork that depicts Moses with HORNS. This goes back to what I espouse and that the LORD God is Satan and that the family lineage that started with Adam and led to Moses was made by Satan, not God. Then Google images of Jesus, and you'll see that the majority of the images have a SUN in the image. This goes back to the fact that the references in Isaiah 14:12 that call Lucifer the Morning Star are ALL clear references to the SUN. The SUN of the dawn, the SUN of the morning, O shining one, Lucifer (light giver), the day star and all these different translations are describing the same thing... the SUN. That's why Christians celebrate Christmas during the Winter Solstice and Easter during the Vernal Equinox, they are cycles of the SUN. You will also see that Jesus often makes a 2 finger pose in many of of these works of art. This 2 finger pose comes from the pose of BAPHOMET, it is not some Jesus peace sign! This goes back to what I espouse about Jesus being Satan the Morning Star. Also Google 'ufos religious christian art' and look at all the UFOs that adorn religious artwork. All of these pieces of art take on a NEW meaning when you know what to look for!

I was very disappointed in what videos I found for Good Friday, so I cobbled this together. The initial image was from "Jesus Of Nazareth" TV film; the verse is from John 19: 41; the image of the Three Crosses At Sunset I borrowed from a religious image web site; and the music is the end music track from Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar" tiltle "John Nineteen Forty-One" I claim no rights to this work.

School of Seven Bells - "Connjur"


Alpinisms is an electronically enhanced pop record of dizzying highs and claustrophobic lows, whose painstaking conception shows in its detail-laden crevices. On the albums best tracks, Benjamin Curtis constructs layers of shoegazing, moire-patterned guitars, while sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza intertwine their near-identical voices like the fingers of praying hands. Throughout, the whole heavenly affair is tethered to the ground with a glitchy, tribal thwomp. In Alpinisms, technology collides with cryptic religious imagery and airtight songcraft; knowledge begets action; and School of Seven Bells master an alien climate with effortless artistry. ghostly.com

Joan Baez - All My Trials


During the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s "All My Trials" became a popular folk song . It is based on a Bahamian lullaby about a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry. You know your mama's bound to die," because, as she explains, "All my trials, Lord, Soon be over." The underlying message - this too shall pass; that no matter how bleak the situation seemed, the struggle would "soon be over" - lifted this song to the status of an anthem and was recorded by many of the leading artists of the era. The song is usually classified as a spritual because of its biblical references and religious imagery. Spadecaller's music video presents this classic folk tune with visuals that reference the events of Katrina, Darfur, and Iraq. (LYRICS) Hush little baby, don't you cry You know your mama was born to die All my trials, Lord, soon be over The river of Jordan is muddy and cold Well it chills the body but not the soul All my trials, Lord, soon be over I've got a little book with pages three And every page spells liberty All my trials, Lord, soon be over Too late, my brothers Too late, but never mind All my trials, Lord, soon be over If living were a thing that money could buy Then the rich would live and the poor would die All my trials, Lord, soon be over There grows a tree in Paradise And the pilgrims call it the Tree of Life All my trials, Lord, soon be over Too late, my brothers Too late, but never mind All my trials <b>...</b>

My Panama


After shooting pictures in Panama City one day in 2007, I was blown away by a photo of a woman in a native costume that I took very quickly in a small fast-food restaurant. I didn't have time to register what was in her expression was until I reviewed the photos on my computer screen. What I love about Latin America is the religious imagery everywhere. The Cristo Negro statue is especially beautiful. Even a trash dump had an image of Christ. The large blue Jesus mural is on the side of a Catholic church/school is in Colon. I somehow forgot to include the canal here...

Illuminatum


Psychedelic religious imagery put to the music of Hildegard Von Bingen 1098 - 1179. WJ McKay of gothmountainmusic.com produced this journey into the visions of a 12th Century nun who secretly wrote beautiful compositions in a German abbey. The music was discovered by church inquisitors as they considered her canonization. She said that she was gifted with visions her whole life, and was consistently seen posthumously gliding through the cloisters in the gothic abbey.

Anita Carter recorded this traditional folk song in 1962. Anita was known as "The Appalachian Angel" and this tribute to her is a reminder to all of us that she truly possessed the voice of an angel. ***** Here's a bit of info from Wikipedia about this song: "All My Trials" was an important folk song during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry./You know your mama's bound to die," because, as she explains, "All my trials, Lord,/Soon be over."

Sacred Spain: Art & Belief in the Spanish World - Trailer

Sacred Spain: Art and Belief in the Spanish World brings to life the challenges faced by visual artists such as El Greco, Francisco Zurbarán, Alonso Cano, Franciso Ribalta, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Juan de Valdes Leal, Juan Correa, Cristobal Villalpando and others, who were charged with the creative task of making religious imagery that was useful, truthful and moving. The exhibition will feature 70 works—including paintings, polychrome sculpture, metalwork and books, many of which have never before been seen in the United States—that not only illustrate religious iconography and allegory, but also bring to light the significant role of the artist in 17th-century Spain.

When I viewed the sort of consolation that's available for those recently bereaved it occurred to me that most of the images on either print copy or funeral home services, etc. I noted that they are devoid of human comfort. So in creating this series of videos for LegacyObituaries.com I purposed o display life as i is... i goes on and we are not bereft of comfort from others...all of whom have also suffered the loss of a loved one. It was also my intention to not cut across someone concept of God... so there are no religious imagery.... but the word "Lord" I reasoned would refer o all religions..and perhaps o someone who professes no religion...well, maybe they believe that there is 'something' that steers the stars in their course, so it's safe to say the it is perhaps bigger or represents an intelligence that's superior. factandfable.com

Mary Hopkin - All My Trials


See: annakipling.wordpress.com "Recollections" a NEW CD now available via Mary Hopkin Music www.maryhopkin.co.uk All My Trials was a folk song during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children, "Hush little baby, don't you cry. know your mama's bound to die," because, as she explains, "All my trials, Lord,/Soon be over." The message — that no matter how bleak the situation seemed, the struggle would "soon be over" — propelled the song to the status of an anthem, recorded by many of the leading artists of the era. The song is usually classified as a Spiritual because of its biblical and religious imagery. There are references to the "Lord", "a little book" with a message of "liberty", "brothers", "religion", "paradise", "pilgrims" and the "tree of life" awaiting her after her hardships, referred to as "trials". There is an allegory of the river Jordan, the crossing thereof representing the Christian experience of death as something which "...chills the body but not the soul." The river/death allegory was popularised by John Bunyan in his classic, The Pilgrim's Progress and the wording echoes the teaching of Jesus, to "...fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul." Mary Hopkin (born May 3, 1950) is a Welsh folk singer. She is best known as one of the first artists to sign to The Beatles' Apple Records label. Alongside playing solo <b>...</b>

Open Forum: Mideo Cruz's Controversial CCP Exhibit


News report in Filipino. To address the controversy that Mideo Cruz has stirred the past few days, the CCP conducted an open forum with groups in support and opposed to the exhibition of the artwork. The artwork in which the artist combines such items as condoms, and carvings of penises with religious imagery has offended many who are calling on the CCP to remove it. In a bizarre twist, CCP officials expressed their taking offense at the words used by the offended parties. It's funny how my taxes are funding something that I find deeply insulting to me as well.
