Seen it. Not impressed. It was painted for a different generation. It kinda reminds me more of the Muslim “walk to heaven”. On that one apparently Allah will knock people of his choosing off the bridge into fire as they walk across.

I think I’ve seen/read too much science fiction for that image to mean much. I think it is a painting for an older generation.

So tragic my friend... you are indeed under the spell (2 Cor. 4:2-4).

Well; let me help you my friend; are you completely and absolutely perfect? Then you need a RIGHTEOUS SAVIOR who is; it’s really that simple; for you will give a full account to Him in RIGHTEOUSNESS after your death (Eccl. 12:13-14; Heb. 9;27; Rev. 20:11-15); try this experiment; for the next week carry a copy of the 10 commandments with you and keep them absolutely perfectly with your whole heart, soul and mind; if you break just one then it shows you your desperate need for God’s RIGHTEOUS Savior (Rom. 10:2-4). This exercise is for all; I’m a follower of Jesus for that very reason (John 1:12; Rom. 6:23; 1 John 4:10). The key is to come to this conclusion with the OVERWHELMING abundant and abounding evidence that fills this world against you and all before your death (Heb. 9:27).

If you desire to mock and scoffing then do so only to your own ETERNAL ruin (Rev. 20:11-15; 22:11); if you choose to believe all will be ETERNALLY well for you (John 3:16-21).

Let me know how you do.... I truly desire that you trust in Jedus and be ETERNALLY delivered for your ruin and sins!

May it be so!

So Science fiction is real and Jesus and the kingdom of heaven fiction is fake. Got it Star Wars boy. Keep worshiping that force and see how it works out for you.

No, that is not it at all. Different generations see different images based on their understanding of “reality”. The early biblical authors literally saw the earth as a circle with the mountains being pillars and the “heavens” being a sold place where God dwelled. That was fine. The bible is not a science book. God did not bestow 17th century knowledge on the writers. And the same is true today. God has not bestowed upoon us 30th century (if the Lord waits that long) knowledge. However, we have grown past images like the one in the painting.

It was a good one for its day, no doubt, but I would imagine something different from sparse people walking across a big bridge across a valley. My imagination comes from different foundational understanding. And because of that, an image designed to emote feelings in one generation doesn’t do the same for me because I live in a different culture.

That’s really all I meant. I do think I came across too harsh in the way I said it, though. I think I was bristling at the false claims of the article title.

It’s the picture from the OP’s link, who didn’t post it; so I did. Pictures like that, widely distributed, could carry the gospel far and wide, being worth 10,000 words and all.

I didn’t either my first 21 years here, but now I’ve posted thousands. It’s VERY easy, as easy as posting a link, and I’ve taught several people how. Would you like me to teach you? Takes a couple of minutes.

I’ll take your nonresponse as a “No.”
