Brethren,
I initially introduced this systematic method of art assessment based on
four Godly criteria:
1. Craftsmanship and general quality
2. Compatibility with the Bible
3. Usefulness in a True Christian™ message
4. Potential risks of the image
I'd now like to add
an important new criterion based on the historical developments during the last few months.
Subject matter.
1 Corinthians 14:32
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
As we now have new-found hope and - dare I say -
the new and probably the last great prophet before the End of Times, it is only appropriate that great art has been produced depicting HIM. We've seen earlier that nor does
Satan fail to meddle, as
atheist demonic art has also been produced modelling this great person. We need not reproduce those vile images here. Let us concentrate on
real high-quality artwork instead!
1. Craftsmanship and general quality
- Excellent proficiency of the visual art techniques. The background decorations are first class and obviously the subject matter is wonderful.
2. Compatibility with the Bible
- This conveys perfectly the Christian message of Great Kings and Great Prophets.
- Luke 7:26 - But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
- Verily, much more than a prophet. The Leader of the Free World and a Personal Friend of Christ, our Lord.
3. Usefulness in a True Christian™ message
- Very useful, shows in glory the man we should follow and revere. This leads children to obedience and subjugation.
- Romans 5:19 - For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
4. Potential risks of the image
- I can see quite a few True Christian™ women falling behind in their domestic chores as they'll spend hours before this image admiring and contemplating it.
Second painting. This one is
initially confusing but do not let your prejudices regarding modern art (this one is impressionist abstract pop-art surrealism) distract you. Let us give this piece an unbiased assessment!
1. Craftsmanship and general quality
- Again, very skilled albeit not with quite as much virtuosity as in the first image.
2. Compatibility with the Bible
- Many critics have taken this piece as criticism targeted at the Donald. That is a mistake. This image is extremely Biblical. First of all, it associates the Donald with nutritive items of processed meats. You may ask where the message is. I say, this is the message:
- Matthew 4:4 - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
- Verily, not bread alone. We also need a Godly message. The Donald can provide us with that message. Of course, in addition to bread we also need processed meats (Genesis 9:3) which is taken into account in a delightful manner in this great piece of art!
3. Usefulness in a True Christian™ message
- Extremely useful by emphasizing the significance of the Word of God in the midst of gluttony and processed meats.
4. Potential risks of the image
- I can see quite a few True Christian™ women falling behind in their domestic chores as they'll spend hours before this image admiring and contemplating it.
I am utterly convinced that many more wonderful works of art, not only in the field of visual arts but also in the opera, theater, pantomime, weaving, comics and cinema. All the artists will soon take on the Donald as the subject matter and produce
magnificent works that will lead millions into the warm embrace of Jesus!
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
