Let's see...I will try t...I like your post. :)<br /><br />Let's see...I will try to be commenty... :)<br /><br />Sayers says that the Jews forbade the depiction of God. I *think* that technically she is right. God forbade the making of *idols* for the purpose of worship. But historically lots of people groups have taken this to extremes, such as the Amish only allowing very practical forms of art, if they allow it at all. The Jews believed that attempting to depict God (or even write His name--so many at least these days write G-d) put them in danger of transgressing that command, so they forbade it altogether. At least, I think this is so. I cannot think of God specifically forbidding His own depiction, though of course even such a thing would have to be imaginative seeing as, according to my catechism "God is a spirit and has not a body like man." :)Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071531992275028215.post-72363172588088232072012-11-12T16:42:54.528-05:002012-11-12T16:42:54.528-05:00I cannot answer all of your huge questions because...I cannot answer all of your huge questions because for some reason my concentration on this book is making it seem more difficult than when I whizzed through it late in the summer :)<br /><br />Our church is trying to open its arms to local artists and even the Covenant art students including Kristin Mathis are painting a mural on our walls based on answers to prayer. <br /><br />But there are many huge questions that linger in my mind about the artistic temperament. <br /><br />I tend to be literary but not scientific nor artistic if that is possible.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413838626377092356noreply@blogger.com
