What of the holy spirit? Is the Lord not OMniscient? Omnipresent? He knows all, sees all, is all! I'm perfectly fine with all you biggoted bastards banning me from ever posting here again, wont be me who rots in hell. I know this because I KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS!

Gill92-- We Christian folks here at LBC are Bible experts. We happen to know that lustful art makes people lust.

Satan wants people to sin. We do not.

You seem to want sinful and lustful art pushed into people's faces. Shame on you.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

I just saw this thread so I held my nose and checked out this disgusting website.

God does not like this stuff. The Bible talks of craftsmen, stonemasons, carpenters, etc. (Exodus 35:35; 2 Chronicles 2:14; 2 Samuel 5:11; Exodus 30:35; Exodus 20:25; etc.) but nowhere does it sanction this crap. I feel like I blasphemed just looking at it. And I strongly advise not looking at the literature section without a readily available airsick bag.

I wonder if this type of "art" so addles the mind after a short time that it explains why such concepts as apostrophes and capital letters have disappeared from Gill92's brain. The KJV has them, why not Gill?

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

uhm. its called artistic nudity.

its fine, seriously.


and you have to remember that that NOT EVERYONE are "true christians".
so get over it.


i am a member of deviantart, and while i never draw artistic nude drawings, i am willing to stand up for it if someone wants to shut it down. (which, will probably never happen by you guys)

i personally love deviantart. you guys should probably get your head out of the gutter and look at the other, non-artistic nude drawings. there are actually some pretty cool religious pictures on there i'm sure you guys would like

I personally agree with her. DeviantArt isnt just a place for people to look up nude pictures of people. Its a place where kids who cant share with the world their art, weather its stories, poems, or drawing, have a chance to show other people what they can do. No one says if you go their you have to look up those pictures, but the fact is some people do and that is THEIR choice. There are many things in the world people do not like, but part of being human is ddealing with it. I do not think weather you go to hevan or hell matters on what you do to express yourself...but on if your soul and heart is in the right place. You say all this stuff about love but all i hear from your side is hate. And for that you should be ashamed. I back up my fellow DA person and hope and pray that one day your minds will not be so shallow and narrow.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

And how would you know what Jesus would appreciate? See, I have the Bible to tell me what He appreciates.
:

Its funny when you say that since Bible wasn't even written by Jesus, God or Holy spirit so how in the heck can you say that there reads what he appreciates. i believe that god appreciates us all in the way we are...

And by the way if you didnt know science has already proved those bed time stories about world creation being flat and stuff wrong, wich is supposed to be told by GOD and HOLY SPIRIT how can you explain that...

[Jedediah]

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

The men who God used as tools to write down His Word were moved by the Holy Spirit.

II Peter 1:21
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Inspiration is when God takes a blank piece of paper and uses men to write His Word. This is pretty basic stuff I teach 6-year-olds in my youth group.

i believe that god appreciates us all in the way we are...

Can you back your assertion with Scripture? I was under the impression that God appreciates our fear and obedience rather than some vain sense of individuality.

Deuteronomy 13:4
Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

And by the way if you didnt know science has already proved those bed time stories about world creation being flat and stuff wrong, wich is supposed to be told by GOD and HOLY SPIRIT how can you explain that...

Secular "science" proves nothing other than some people are just bound and determined to reject Jesus' offer of Redemption so that they can spend eternity in torments.

I Timothy 6:20-21
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

While accepting the Truth of Biblical cosmology is not a "Salvation™ issue", strictly speaking, I have a hard time seeing how someone who refuses to accept God's Word at face value is truly motivated by the Holy Spirit. Sir, I have read the Holy Bible (KJV 1611) several times, and I talk with Jesus multiple times every day. My thoughts, words and deeds are guided by the Holy Spirit. Not once has my analysis of the Bible, my examination of the supposed "evidence" for a spherical earth, or the voice of the Spirit inside me led me to believe in this farce you advocate. Your bucket holds no water, foolish little man.

This is precisely why God warns us about thinking for ourselves.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

The Bible makes it very clear that the earth is a circle. Not a sphere - a circle. Not a three-dimensional round object - a two-dimensional round object. Again, your bucket holds no water.

Isaiah 40:22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

I hope you have found this to be edifying, and I exhort you to read more on this forum. God has brought you here for a reason, and I hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

I am truely sorry for those people who can not look past those nude pictures and see the other beautiful pieces of art. I am a christian and i believe i was blessed by god to have the talent of an artist. i love my art and the art of others. and if you went to the website to look at nude woman and not appreciate the art then that was your issue. It was not the issue of the truely talented artists on there. Why punish everyone for the crappy actions of others. all i hear is hate coming from you. i dont want to sound anger or hateful just voicing my opinion.

[loveis..]

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

wow!!! im not a perv i was not promoting people to go look at nude pictures.. I am a christian person who post her art on there and i dont get on the site for the nudity none of my art has nudity in it. i dont understand how you miss read my post but i do not think i should be called a sex perv. but then again you are not the one who judges me it is God and he knows all!! it makes me sad that people on here are so quick to judge when its not their place and they are so quick to scream hate at people when love is suppose to be spread! again i do not understand why i have been call a sex perv. everyone here has been concentrating their anger at a website that has a few bruises from a few bad people. i am sorry that you think that i am a sex perv but im trying to open peoples eyes to the good things about the site and not the bad thing! i have been taught alot on the site about techniques for my art. but never once did i have the disgusting thought of going there to look at nude pics! now if you have young children and you fear that they may see nude pics. then do not let them go look at it but as for me i am a grown adult! i am mature in my ways and i dont have thoughts of going to the site to look at that horrible stuff my parents raised me better than that!! there is no need to shut down a site that connects people together for a good purpose!!

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

Well why i wouldnt been allowed to believe in what i want, If you believe in tomorrow you can believe it. If i believe that God appreciates us all in the way we are I surely am allowed to think like that. And Very Mature to change my nickname since Dont you guys believe in Satan too? I am an evancelic christian boy who has been baptized i have been confirmed and have had A CROSS wich was given me the day i got confirmed by church for a year on my neck. and you people dare to accuse that i believe in satan in bad way. You people are so rude to anyone who doesnt think the same way as you do and that scares you. you are scared of anything new. for example why cant you accept any games for young people i bet you would have something against for as simple game as "rock, paper, siccors" and then you are ruining the artwork of musicians by changing the lyrics of their songs it is called ART as much as your gospel music. I am 100% sure ur kids would have WAAAAAY better childhood if you would let them do things that NORMAL kids do!

And what i will get for answer for this:
A.Back that up with a scripture!
B.Didn't mind to read this it was too long
C.Yappedy yappedy yapp yapp
D.Something very close to the above.

realise it you dont have any real answers to any guestion asked by persons who hasn't posted here something like "our religion is awesome we will all be saved cause we are so much better than others"

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

And Felicity, if you only would know, i am the same age as you and im sorry for the fact that you have not experienced the stuff normal kids have, like listening to music they want loudly, having fun and just chilling out at the mall and stuff like that.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

I post some of my drawings and photography on this site, it's really nice.

If you don't want to look at a body, then don't look at it.

[Ailith]

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

This website is no more than an excuse to look at the female body and call it "art"!-TrueChristian16

I disagree on that account, deviant art is a wonderful community of artist who encourage and inspire people all across the world with their artistic talents, just because some people upload pictures onto the site which all would agree are unsavoury, doesn't mean that you should condemn the whole site and it's users.

I agree that there are pictures which are inappropriate and a vile attempt at getting noticed, however I believe that the team working at deviant art are doing their up-most to crack down on these things. But you must remember that they cannot pick up on all the pictures and often they slip through the cracks- they are after all, human and thousands of pictures are posted daily the majority of which are not nudes or in any way sexual or offensive.

However, a lot of the nude pictures on the site are not in fact focused on sexuality (granted a lot are) but the beauty of the human body that god created. surely you cannot say that it is wrong to glory in that which god himself created?

Next, in response to the comment below saying something along the lines of "god meant for us to wear clothes." this, is not true. In the genesis story it tells of how Adam and Eve were nude and only realized that there was something 'wrong' with that after eating the fruit of forbidden knowledge. I.E he created humans to be naive and to be free of superficial things such as clothes.

Through out the bible, there are many inaccuracies and contradictions, to many to mention. this leads me to believe that it is not in fact written by god, the holy spirit or Jesus, but in fact by people who were radical thinkers (in the time when it was written they certainly were)and who wanted to teach life lessons and promote love. However, this was warped and twisted by men whose main goal was power. they uses these separate books to control people to make them think the way they want and ultimately get the masses to do what they want to do this they formed the 'holy bible' and said it was written by people who were guided by the holy spirit. This theory has been proven, time and time again. Millions of people were killed in the crusades supposedly because the people on the other side were evil but the real goal was power, wealth and land.
Even to this day, religion is used as propaganda. eg. The KKK who killed (and likely continue to do so) to retain power, slaves and supremacy.

And you, people on this site, you who believe completely and unquestioningly in the 'holy' Bible have been mislead! why would god want you to kill? to hurt? to hate? He wanted us to love to enjoy his creation and not destroy it with ignorance. why cant you see that? believing in the lies that have been told for thousands of years wont save you from hell. Not when you have hated so. And I pity you for that; so warped are your minds now to the false truth that you can no longer see what Jesus preached. Now all you can see is people who think differently so they must be wrong, they must be heathens and devil worshipers!

Sadly it is not just the Christian religion who is thus warped. most religions are the same; so blind they cannot see the beauty before them. It greatly saddens me that ideas that began as pure have been thus polluted by greedy and evil men-it saddens me more so that you people cannot see it.

And so, now I have told my opinions, go ahead and call me what you will- I know what is right and wrong and I shall pray for you who does not. Though, do try and reply intelligently, it will only amuse me otherwise.

Yours faithfully Ailith.

Why is it that you heathen always come here and start to rant that Bible says this and that and Jesus was all love on so on and Bible says complete opposite? You haven't read the Bible, haven't you? I mean all of it, not just pieces of the New Testament?

People THINK that God is loving everybody (except gaysexuals) and he made everything to us to enjoy. Why? Because some people has twisted the message in the Bible to their own purposes and teach it as Christianity. First they did it to gain power over other people and now just for the money.

If you take just some scriptures from the Bible, yes, you can make Jesus look like all loving hippie liebral, that really is just putting things out of context that is often other believers.

Other misunderstanding seems to be that we HATE something when we are just judging as Bible demands us. It is not we, it is the God how hates gaysexuals and democrats.

Hope you now understand and repent, we wouldn't like you to burn in hell.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

Now we cannot even watch and make art!

What do you do for a living? Pray to god and read the same book every day?

I cannot believe how ignorant you people are. My intentions for coming here were to augment my faith, and one of the firsts posts I saw were to take down an art related site. Didn't you know every image of your god man has made is art? Are not WE art of god? Didn't HE saw us nude in the first place?

I will not follow a stupid book whose real intentions are keep us away from what we do for a living. I would now rather die and burn in hell than give up art.

Your ignorance has gone too far.
