| 23. Author: Wotsit Date: Tue 30th Jul 2024. 21:29 Paddington is based in London which is where the Olympics was being held. He`s named after the station.🤦 So we`re agreeing that the opening ceremony is about the host city/nation, its people, and its culture as well as the Olympics themselves? The Feast of The Gods (the painting portraying the Feast of Dionysus (an Ancient Athenian festival)) is held in a museum Dijon and covers both bases. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy.

Author: red-star-par Date: Tue 30th Jul 2024. 22:25 The person in the middle of the scene, wearing the crown, apparently posted on Instagram with the picture of the scene they depicted, alongside The Last Supper, with a caption, "The New Gay Testament". I think they knew fine what they were doing, trying to get out of it with their whole Dionysus line, which they probably developed as a potential excuse in case they got Charlie Hebdo`d Reply |
| 25. Author: Wotsit Date: Tue 30th Jul 2024. 23:03 There were 27 people in this supposed "Last Supper" at one point. It was definitely supposed to be a diffferent, only slightly less famous, painting with a strong connection to France and the origin of the Olympics, but folk can feel free to be offended by an imagined slight I suppose, that`s totally up to them.

| 26. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 31st Jul 2024. 16:07 Wotsit, Tue 30 Jul 21:29 Dijon is quite far from Paris and it`s a bit of an odd choice even if thinking of something that is synonymous with France generally. Like think Paris and it`s Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, baguettes, berets etc, not a Dutch painting that lots of people confused with something completely different! Let`s just be honest - someone thought they were being edgy and bit controversial and failed on both counts. More like something from Euro Trash 😂 Reply |
| 27. Author: Wotsit Date: Wed 31st Jul 2024. 16:51 Folk saw what they wanted to see: something that would allow them to feel outraged. That`s fine, I`m not going to judge them for that, but I do find it odd that folk persist with it even now. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |

| 29. Author: Paralex Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 20:12 Yes it seems that blasphemy against the Christian faith is fair game since there are no immediate repercussions and if it`s not true, feel free to join in. The only problem is that it just might be true and if so, "we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ". Would you take the risk? Reply |

| 31. Author: red-star-par Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 20:57 Paralex, Sat 3 Aug 20:12 I`d say there`s a fair chance the folk prancing about at the Olympic ceremonies"Gay Testament" won`t be getting into heaven anyway, if such a place exists. Christianity is a bit of a soft, easy target, if they had done something similar aimed at Islam, Paris would still be burning yet Reply |
| 32. Author: Paralex Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 20:58 So obviously you are prepared to take the risk, Dave 1885. Remember that a clear warning was given. Don`t forget Red Star par that Jesus made a point of associating with " sinners", the way is open to all, to confess sin and receive full and free forgiveness. "The vilest offender, who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives." Post Edited (Sat 03 Aug 21:03) Reply |

| 34. Author: Paralex Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 21:13 You must tell Him that when you meet up with Him Dave, but I guess you`ll find that all illnesses are caused by human rebellion against God and embracing evil. Also register the fact that God allowed Himself to be put to death, in the form of His Son Jesus, to free us of our sin and bring us back into a loving relationship with God. In the meantime take care with taking God`s/ Jesus` name in vain because those who do that will "not be held guiltless". Post Edited (Sat 03 Aug 22:53) Reply |
| 35. Author: Wotsit Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 22:28 Any being as malevolently judgemental as the one you describe is not worthy, or capable, of sharing a truly loving relationship. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 36. Author: Paralex Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 22:50 He took the judgement of our sins upon Himself. How is that being malevolently judgemental? He gives us the opportunity to accept the free gift of forgiveness of our sins. He gave us life and made us in His image. He wants us to freely acknowledge Him but we choose self indulgence and sin instead. We don`t know the love God has for us until we experience it. He will never force anyone to come to Him but when we do we find that we "have been made alive, when we had been dead in trespasses and sins". The heart of the problem, is the problem of the human heart. Desperately wicked, we are told. Just look around the world and see. "He breaks the power of human sin, He sets the prisoner free, His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me". ( Charles Wesley) Reply |
| 37. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 22:55 Paralex, Sat 3 Aug 21:13 Wait a second - have you just claimed that children as young as 1 have rebelled against god and embraced evil to be given cancer? 🤔 f*ck me what a bellend you are if thats your thoughts 🤦🏻♂️ Reply |
| 38. Author: Paralex Date: Sat 3rd Aug 2024. 23:07 God in His infinite wisdom has taken young children to be with Him in heaven, which is far better than living here. Indeed I have had the great privilege of sharing the stories of Jesus with such children in Yorkhill Sick kids hospital many years ago. The thing that amazed me was that these kids didn`t rage against God, as you seem to be doing, but had an angelic like simplicity that trusted they were going to a better place. You may rage against God on your own account but please don`t do it for the kids because maybe they were wiser than you. Reply |
