The Lord’s Prayer. 𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭?

This is the ‘Traditional Ecumenical Version’ from The Book of Common Prayer used by the Church of England in the late 70’s when I learnt it in school. There is a timelessness and a poetry to this version that is lost in others, I feel. Matthew 6:9-13 Luke 11:2-4
@men_like_trees @johngacinski I would love to see that. Have you seen Ready to Harvest’s video on Christian Eschatology; he discusses the challenges trying to map the full scope of factors concerned with the end times. It’s interesting. But he only tells part of the story. youtube.com/watch?v=DyaQiI…
@Carpet16100850 Totally! Definitely one to dwell on for a while.
@JIX5A @ThreeUK I’m on @ThreeUK and I got the alert both the Alarm and the Text Notification. t.co/27sx9cMCc… 
@darwintojesus #4. I hate alcohol because of what I have seen it do to others.
@JesseDornfeld @demonhunterband I like this kind of sound. The old me was into Cephalic Carnage ‘before’ and I like the percussive almost sampled crunchiness they share. The drumming is intense. I will add them to my Spotify ‘Likes’ and check the latest album.
This illustration is from a painting by one of my favourite painters, John Martin (1789-1854). The Prophesied Destruction of Tyre (1840). Oil on canvas, 83.8 x 109.5 cm (33.0 x 43.1 in). Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio buff.ly/3N1ztBE
Luke 10:13–16 The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.

@men_like_trees Congratulations to you both, I hope your son enjoys University and makes the most of the opportunities it will offer. What is he studying, and will he be moving away to attend?
@men_like_trees @dalepartridge The replies on this thread are toxic, it’s so sad ☹️ Christian twitter needs more people you trying to build up - however imperfectly - not rushing to tear down and divide.
@JesseDornfeld @HeraldOfPurity I feel like I have just fallen into the abyss. For some reason this evening most threads I’ve clicked through into have been dens of vipers. They’d do well to reflect on Matthew 23:23. Justice, mercy and faithfulness. Fruits in keeping with repentence. That sort of thing. t.co/oaXv2wose… 
It is though refreshing to come across a powerful image that doesn’t conform to the beautified white northern European archetype with perfect skin. Those images have done so much damage to public perception of Jesus.
@AndrewS76825037 Aah. That is an interesting explanation. I always felt John’s account was probably overstating things for a specific reason but the well-quoted Isaiah 53 verses chime well with the depiction in this painting.
That said I am very clear that depictions like this serve a purpose…
@AndrewS76825037 Isaiah 53:2-3 - “He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him… a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief”
John 8:57 also suggests Jesus looked 50 when we know he served His ministry in his early thirties.
The depiction of Christ’s face and his expression, as imagined by Kramskoi is extremely powerful. Biblical, I would argue. A painting I would love to see in real life. t.co/57hvJGspq… 
This picture is speaking to me at the moment.
Christ in the Wilderness by Russian artist Ivan Kramskoi, 1872.

Luke 4:1–4 Satan’s bid to tempt Jesus is risible. At any moment Christ could call upon the almighty power of His divinity to sate His hunger; bring about His earthly kingdom; summon Angels to lift Him. But that time is not yet. Scripture suffices.

@CSLCHSnMore This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on Twitter for a long time @KevinObie1
A8. Jesus does not embody the Law, but His propitiating sacrifice fulfils the Law, and the prediction of the Prophets; He perfectly satisfies both.

@dilipkjena A7. In the West I wonder if they haven’t come to represent something to kick back against, but the 10 Commandments have shaped the values that make societies civilised for millenia. They describe what we would call a universal ‘natural law’, I believe. #HealthyFaithChat
@dilipkjena A6. The Ten Commandments describe the problem. They are a bare-minimum of moral existence, yet we all break them, all the time. I believe that God knew we needed to spent time failing, before realising we couldn’t reconcile our fallen natures with it on our own. #HealthyFaithChat
@CSLCHSnMore I’ll leave you to it then! Our job is done 😀
