To: Hebrews 11:6
Nice to hear from you again, daniel. The last time--the other time--you posted was to lambaste my link to The Chosen. By the way, they've raised $10 million in donations and are currently filming Season 2. And now, my headline earns your disapproval. I'm afraid that, so far, I've missed out entirely on your excess levity. If there were more parts to this story, they would receive this same headline, I assure you. Atheists and Muslims will just have to learn about hyperbole and tongue-in-cheekism. I wonder, indeed, whether my headline actually caused any of them to visit this thread and thereby get exposed to Bible/art/Christians. Do you know? I seriously doubt that my titillating title prevents or even discourages anyone's salvation, your caution nothwithstanding. So, on your way down to post your criticism, did you pause along the way to inspect any of the art? Any observations you'd care to share? Fresh insights on the text inspired by the art and/or the Spirit?

Despite your attempted wit, it remains that your irreverence toward Scripture is not funny. As for the artwork, while some can provide a good illustration of what the Bible describes, more that I see are the work of poor imaginations of lost souls - often with a carnal proclivity. #81 here is about the worst in this collection. I find artwork as this to be useful:

The Bridge (1983 O/N) $4 + shipping from https://store.foi.org/p-465-the-bridge-1983-on.aspx Image source: https://store.thebereancall.org/shop/product/ps001-bridge-poster-36973

And The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah painting by the English painter John Martin from 1852 (downloads). Which image I used for this poster:

And in "light" of the above, this is quite fitting and powerful (though of course no one knows how the Lord actually looked)
