End time posture

Na hypocrisy go kill nigerians. Pretend u love God openly and spite him with ur relentless sinning. Rapture will reveal all u religious hypocrites.

TheSonOfMark:


No, she's not. I might be a Christian but one with a discerning mind who appreciates art for what it is.

The photographer/visual artist is portraying religion as a chain, a leash which limits humanity in a way albeit an obscene display to jar our senses and, yes, to be controversial.


Whether I agree with the message being passed across is a different issue entirely but this is art and it's powerful.

Define Christian

favourmic:
Please Madam Come forward! Come! Come! Don't be afraid, What is happening to you eh! It's not ordinary oh! God has remembered you today... Oyaa raise your hand up... Raise it up very well! Then bend it and place it on your head... Preferably where your mind tells you your brain is located... your stomach or your head. Then repeat this prayer after me... *My father!

Shooooooouuuuuuut it

QueenSuccubus:




That photo cud mean SLAVERY as she got chains and cuffs in her hands..

It cud be the BIBLE(word of God) is her only hope..

Lies..
It simply means.. she's chained to the Bibles.. remember the white man slaved us and forced their foreign God's on us... think properly

TheSonOfMark:


What would you know about history when you still view the world from the sheltered prism of mummy's windowpanes ? It's all about racial issues when an ebony female is the subject. Even if it is about racial issues, it's still correct. Those who colonized and raped Mama Africa did so with swords and guns while brandishing the Bible on the other hand.

But are you not free

My own is art is art but leave religion out of it if you know it will offend people simple

dont release it on a holy day and then from some kind of hero for atheists

tomorrow is Monday let them display their ignorance then who madam help right now?

mofeoluwadassah:
pls what kind of mesg are dey trying 2 pass across,a woman naked wit bible,which kind art b dis one

The woman is in chain
She is praying
Holding the bible tightly like her only hope

The bible says "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"

The truth to set you free is in the bible

INTERPRERATION OF THE PICTURE IS SIMPLE AND CLEAR TO ALL LIBERATED FROM COLONIAL AND MENTAL SLAVERY .....
"RELIGION IS BONDAGE"

Looks like the photo alludes to how the slave owners used religion to put slaves under check.

people see things differently...

Who made the day Holy? And is there a special day for one to release a work of Art?

TheSonOfMark:


Give it up, cupcake, you've never been the sharpest tool in the box or yard. The photo shoot itself is to convey a message; heck, messages even.

-A nude dark-skinned female to represent stripped, pillaged Africa;
-Chains to represent limitations, leash, stagnation;
-Bible to represent Christianity, missionaries/colonialists and, by extension, religion.

The whole set-up depicts either or both of the scenarios explained in my prequel posts.

Screw the euphemisms, Valerie, you're dumb.

I love your insight, infact ; this can be applied to the situation we (Christians) find ourselves in this country. To the extent that we can no longer defend ourselves just because our religion admonishes us to "turn the other cheek", while Fulani herdsmen slaughter us with reckless abandon.

She's chained as a captive but holding onto the Hope that the word of God represents.

God did that you don't believe and respect it is your choice but know one day you will leave this flesh with nothing like you came

Hope you get to join us

Do not Blasphame

Thinks she meant foreign religion is a form slavery hence the unclothedness and the chains

na real wa..

if na Quran she pose with.. she for don hear am by now.
Christianity has gone to the dogs

Make she use Quran , nansense

Very sexy and artistic

Btw.....Sunday service was boring af!

they now see that this is wrong, but they usually find happiness in insulting other people's religions

Where did God do that? And when did God appoint Sunday as a Holy Day?

You Let me know next week your in need of the knowledge suggest you borrow the bible from homegirl posing naked and holding the holy book on a Sunday if that aint blasphemy.

Let your Art speak but dont offend God he will reveal himself to you I am not perfect but dont get an erection hurting others faith. You have the freedom to practice yours i see your signature

What you see is an imagery.

This thread has fulfilled the basic point of the shoot, IMO. It has provoked a discussion.

Or several arguments.

And a few insults.

But mainly a discussion.

powerful symbolic art my brother, very powerful,

That's all I see.

Beautiful pic.. and it's a message is now left for everyone to decrypt it the way they want...

She is just saying that the oyibo people usee the bible through the missionaries to enalave and colonize africa

LIKE SAY NA QUR'AN SHE CARRY SO...INNOCENT FEEFLE FOR DON FORCEFULLY ENTER YONDER.

Hmmm badagry weed mixture wif oshogbo weed

What she has done is wrong from every aspect by being naked and holding d Holy Bible. One thing I know about Christianity is u don't fight or judge for God. He is capable of carrying his own judgement and fight. Let God judge her. But as a child of God what she has done is wrong

We have moved on from Slavery we are now on black on black slavery now cops shooting the youth. Oil won't be our selling point forever leave God out of it

People sef! as if una never see pass this one before.

The pix is an art signifying something. It goes beyond the surface appearance.

Sin leaves us naked,weak and under bondage but with His word,through Christ we are saved.

With all our filth and heavily burdened,chained by sin,principalities and power of darkness and wickedness in high places we believe and hope in God for libration.

She is not cursed,always look and think beyond the surface.

The power of God and in the words of God.

this is the message in the pics
no matter the pretentious attitude u put up as a Christian
before God Which is represented by the Bible, ur iniquities lays bare naked
again, represented by the shackles, Christianity was supposed to bring freedom to the world, rather it has become a bondage to some as a result of fake Christian leaders shattered all over the world misleading his followers
In general, it goes to show that man has always been the source of his own problems cause instead of u people to think of reasons for her her post, u have already judge the hell out of her. remember, naked we came, So shall we all return.
CHRIST IS NOT IN THE BIBLE BUT IN UR HEARTS AND ACTIONS. THE BIBLE IS A LITERATURE THAT CONTAINS HAPPENINGS BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE TIME OF CHRIST, IT'S FOR CHRISTIANS REFLECTION. SO LET'S. SEE CHRIST IN YOUR DEALINGS WITH UR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ON EARTH. AND NOT ON UR ONLINE WRITE UPS
