>> David would have been...circumcised <<
So Michaelangelo made a small mistake, maybe because he couldn’t find any Jewish male models in Florence.
Therefore, all God-fearing people should want the statue to be destroyed?
Or maybe the Italian government should just hire a highly skilled marble worker to “correct” the statue. Then it would be OK?
No, it is a matter of conscience right now, the larger question I was asking has to do with what the Lord will allow when the Son reigns upon the Earth. I’m not necessarily for creating anti temperance gangs to go around smashing art. Though there is some art like “Piss Christ”, that I’m not sure what reaction I would have if I was ever around it. You know in your own soul that in the reign of the Lord to come what Christ will do with such art...your own spiritual enlightenment testifies against such art! Now I have maybe mixed the notions of art verses antiquity creations of depictions of gods...but I tend to view all such as creations of forms or images that depict an intrinsic idea or reality that the artist wished expressed.
A nude statue of a lady at the bath, a few Rubins paintings,some Da Vinci Madonna paintings...some of it I have a tendency to think that it is harmless and what ever is wrong with such art, God will “filter it out” in the end.
Yet when I hear of a Buddhist statue being destroyed by Muslims, my first reaction is...bloody savages, but then a deeper pause...”but they are idols and false Gods” and some how I start not caring so much about the fact that they were destroyed. DSC thinks I believe in a “petulant” God but I think God does what he does because of our own individual and collective petulance and we will be judged so. Our best righteousness is as filthy rags, and mine are as filthy as anyone’s.
