Dr. Joel, I appreciate your thought out post. My concern is that we are being gaslit to not believe our own eyes. I do think a combining of the two paintings is possible and is very telling of the state of the world. For keyboard Christians who are ready to "go to war" miss the point as much as those who defend the antics of the opening ceremony.
There can no longer be any huffing and puffing when we say we are in a war. And the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. We must take up our cross, and clearly see how the world will respond. We cannot be shocked, but far too many have been lulled to sleep in passive Christianity. It's time for the western Church to wake up. To stop playing with sin, and start living in purity. That's what our response should be. When we recognize the Holy War and Who we belong to, it should compel us to live our lives in a way that is a light to world. Light shines on the darkness. Not because it's looking for trouble but because it's just being the light. It's time for us to be the light once again.
Thanks for this, Joel. It always amazes me how complicated believers make these issues and how hard it seems for many of us to hold two things in tension at once. Great article and very much needed right now in the Church.
Dr, I'm not convinced we should be primarily focused on which historical art most closely resembles the horrid ritual the luciferian cabal decided to broadcast into millions of homes worldwide.
They are bold as brass! In your face! And Loud and Proud! Need I go on? It’s life in the neighborhood. They shamelessly asked for the attention and they got it. I’m never surprised by their antics especially at one of these global “ceremonies”. It was their decision and they have to live with the consequences sooner or later.
I didn’t hear anyone asking for forgiveness. I ask for forgiveness for my part of observing their wicked obsessions to pay homage to sin and the Prince of this World. I am sincere when I ask, and I happily receive. But as always the Lord forgives what he forgives, even real crappy stuff, and I stand in awe of His Way at all times.

Look again, Joel. His original premises was reneged and he admitted it was a parody of the Last Supper. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Yours in Christ.
