Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

i follow God's Word.

i beleive in him.

please.

i'm done fighting, ok?

I'm not fighting, Shauna.

But you did say that you don't read the Bible (and in fact insulted it), and don't seem to want to hear that it is clear that God isn't all love and happiness and ice cream on a sunny afternoon.

If you're going to follow God's Word and say you love God, wouldn't it serve you well to understand His Word and who He tells us He is?

You don't have to take OUR word for it. In fact, you shouldn't take OUR word, or any preacher's word, or your mother's word. Only GOD'S Word.

I suggest you read the Bible for yourself. Keep a notebook where you can write down events or major statements God makes, and add your own thoughts about them. See what you come up with. The God and Jesus you will come to know through reading His Word will be very different from the all-loving, sweetie-pie beings your preachers have told you about.

And yes, I strongly do recommend the King James version. Other versions are significantly different; a Google search for "NIV vs KJV" will give you scores of differences, where the NIV people radically changed or even cut out verses because they didn't like what they said. There are other comparisons showing several versions side by side, all significantly altered from the KJV.

There's a reason we call NIV the New Infidel Version, and it's not to be funny.

Good luck in your search!

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

I'm sorry it has to end this way, sisters. Here's my final message to you.

In spite of all of your flaws, all of your sins, all of your hateful attacks against God's elect... in spite of all of this, Jesus still loves you.

Romans 8:39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Isn't that amazing? Even though you hate Him with every fiber of your miserable being, Jesus' love for you is as strong as it was the day He created you. And if you pray long and hard and with all of your heart, He will grant you eternal life, and will accept you into His bosom as one of His own children. And once this has happened, all things will be possible.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Jesus died for you. He died because you sinned; because you're sodomites, harlots, liars, deceivers, and purveyors of hate. He died knowingly and willingly and descended into Hell, where He allowed himself to suffer the very torments that await you yourselves in that awful place. When you realize this, I hope then that you realize just how much God wants to possess your soul, to hold it fast in His embrace and shower it with the golden rays of His love. I hope then that you become True Christians™, and live His Word.

Now get thee hence!

Your Sister in Christ,
Virginia

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

Yeah, i just thought i'd tell you people a little something.

God is an artist.

I was told when i was little that God painted the clouds, and the trees, and the whole entire sky, and the rainbows, and the birds, and the sun, and the moon, and the universe, and the PEOPLE, andthe roads, and the grass, and the rocks and dirt and ocean and stars and EVERYTHING.

God created everything because he's an artist.


Artists create something.

If you're still around, here's a thought for you: If God controls everything that happens (and He wouldn't be much of a supreme being if He didn't) then He is responsible for the death of everyone that has ever lived. One day, He will kill you, and everyone you have ever known or loved. He also quite clearly states that after He's done killing them, He will condemn the vast majority of the world's population to eternal torture. Sounds like a very strange kind of art to me.

Have a nice day,
Temperance.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

That website is not specifically for nude pictures, rather, it is for (visual) artistic works of any kind. If you do not wish to see the nude pictures, you can jus tnot go there.

I doubt you will ever shut down that site, for it is a reputable source of artistic talent. It is a source of self expression. Nothing you can do will ever change that, nothing you can do will bring down their site.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

yea, whateveryone pro deviantart said. i dont know why you would want to look at nude pictures of people to begin with, but it's not made to be an online porn site. it's rather a place where people who have exceptional talent or people with raw talent on the field of artistic creativity to showcase their work, get critique from others, and perfect it. and im not sure (since i dont look at nude pictures) but i think that in order to view those pictures you must be over a certain age limit, signed in, etc etc. if not, then the moderators and admins wasnt able to track down the people who posted those in the wrong tag quickly enough.

If their talent is so exceptional, why are they posting their work on a website that any idiot can use and any idiot can read for free? More importantly, why are they using this "talent" to glorify their own abominable lust instead of using it to praise Jesus Christ?

I can answer that: it's because either their "talent" comes from Satan, or it never existed in the first place!

well, mainly because not many people would want to pay to just host drawings. i know i dont want to pay. however, if they are really confident, accomplished, and have the finacial support (which is usally gained by sites like deviantart because once in a while a sucessful artist or company browses through the pictures.) then they would find a webmaster and have their own website, but it's more conveint to host drawings at a free website. as for why are they not using it to praise god, im sorry to break it to you, but not all of them are christian.

Re: Take DeviantArt.com Down!

Their loss!

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The ONLY way to Heaven is through salvation by our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. Methinks those "artists" should take some time off from doodling digital funbags and start getting Saved.

Friend, that has to rank as the single least convincing denial I have ever seen. I strongly advise you to repent of your sins and get right with Jesus.

Hey! I'm a regular member of DeviantArt. I love artwork. it expresses the raw human emotions in the best medium available. The "artistic nudity" can be viewed as porn but it's all in the way you look at art. Then again, I'm very liberal so conservatives are probably alot stricter.

Hmm, another one of the Deviant Tart people, sent here under false pretenses to defend their precious pornography?

You know, us civilised folk often prefer to express our emotions with words, rather than by exchanging pictures of erect male members.

I think the reason Christian whackos get upset over women who dress "promiscuously" is because they are just jealous. Most Baptist women are overweight after all and look like this.

Is that a picture of Rosie Odonnell? She isn't Baptist. She's a catlicker. Literally!

For every Rosie O'Donell on the liberal side, there are 10 people who look like her on the conservative redneck illiterate uneducated baptist side.
