It would seem the Olympics are still the pagan festival they have always been. Of course the priestesses are just "acting" now when they recite prayers to Apollo to light the Olympic flame at the ceremony in the ancient Olympian sanctuary; aren't they?

The Mission of the Olympic committee:

5 to take action to strengthen the unity of the Olympic Movement, to protect its independence, to maintain and promote its political neutrality and to preserve the autonomy of sport;

6 to act against any form of discrimination affecting the Olympic Movement;

If this is in fact in line with their mission they are clearly identifying Christians as being the form of discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community including Bacchus and orgies. By strengthening the unity they mean with all people other than Evangelical Christians.

One interpretation of the days of Noah is that every thought in the human heart is filled with evil and wickedness and sin focused.

People often have said that TV is a mirror of society. Youtube I would say is an even clearer mirror.

Days of Noah = Tme when the thoughts of men were on evil continually

GOD is not mocked.
These unbelievers are highlighting the evil at work. Their time is short and blurring the lines to spoil the crop. Remember that darkness poses as Light. Hold tight to that which is True and don’t dance with the devil in the name of anything goes. Remember why the rainbow was given.. what evil came to be amongst man.. GOD had to flood.. this age is corrupt more than ever. Hold fast.

Hi all,

Well, once again believers are acting foolishly towards the world. It now turns out that the performance had nothing to do with the last supper, but was a performance depicting the feast of Dionysus. A Greek God. And while yes, believers know, and most everyone else knows that there is no Greek God named Dionysus, the program was not intended in any way to portray a christian practice.

The olympic games are a sporting challenge of the world and its heritage hails from the Greek games of ancient Greece. Therefore, opening them with a depiction of the feast of Dionysus is appropriate for that venue.

I did watch a bit of it, and honestly, the only thing in it that resembled anything of a painting that we have of the last supper that we also know isn't a true representation of the actual last supper, is a long table. There are not 12 people lounging around it. There is no bread and wine set out before the 12 participants as if they are eating a supper as is shown in the painting and likely was somehow representative of how the table might have been set at the actual last supper. It's just a long table. With a blue person sitting on it surrounded by a fruit cornucopia.

As far as all the 'drag queen' appearances of the participants, I find that rather offensive, but immoral sexual activities is the very first thing that Paul covers in his letter to the Romans about how the lost will be acting as we move towards the last day. So, while I certainly don't agree with that lifestyle, nor participate in such, it's exactly why God's word tells believers to have nothing to do with such things and so I don't. But that doesn't mean that I should expect that I won't see it displayed and glamorized by the people of this world.

So personally, I'd say that we should be careful not to sin in our anger and pray for them. Pray for those still lost without the Shepherd.

God bless,
Ted

Just repeating a good statement.

YLT 1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,

Advocacy and excuses for the deep degeneracy from someone that votes for the leaders of degeneracy. Who's being chastised here? Believers.

This type of ridiculousness is happening on soccer too which is a game loved by many people worldwide.
Instead of doing an opening ceremony which shows the history and the spirit of the event and the host country, we instead get woke and marginalized messages.
This ruins the fun for a lot of soccer fans too because we didn't want to watch your show because you want to showcase the trans people or disabled people.
We came here to see athletes and to have fun and escape our day-to-day life for a bit.

The person who designed this woke and stupid olympic opening ceremony did a fake apology and the whole committee has been trying to change their tune and say that 'this is not mocking the last supper, but it's a play on old Greek gods'.
In either case, this has nothing to do with Olympics or the host country or the spirit of the event. They've ruined this and that's why less people watch Olympics. They're ruining soccer too with this kind of crap so i hope we see a change in the worldwide mentality about this whole woke and marginalized fad.

Look at the opening ceremony on Qatar:

Capture.PNG

Why do i have to see this? And the irony here is that the host country, a Muslim country is trying to be "inclusive" of people who are different while disallowing and putting in jail a lot of fans for drinking beer or saying anything negative about Islam.
The whole thing is ridiculous and put a sour taste on a lot of soccer fans.

I had a feeling it was something like that; I wasn't sure what it was, but I was pretty sure it wasn't the last supper. I read something online that said who the woman was supposed to be but I can't remember now; but it wasn't Christ.

Whether true or not, I saw an article that said something like 27 sponsors had pulled their support for the Olympics to the tune of about $1.2billion.

There are going to be a lot of excuses circulating.

It's this type of stand that people are going to need to take against this garbage. Sports fans are going to have to suffer some withdrawals and find something else to do to make the point if they want it to stop.

But it's not an honest question. It's an accusation of boasting.

Were you boasting of your understanding of Scripture when you made a judgment of who had a "better understanding of Scripture than many here"?

Agree. A simply ridiculous accusation I have read many of your posts in the Bible Discussion Forum, I read "confidence" but not boasting.

If we have put in the time and effort it is fair to have the confidence to go with the work.

I somewhat doubt it was all that innocent.

It is always about creating controversy and chaos.
How would You Tube, TikTok etc., commentators make a living otherwise.

Thank you for this. The line between confidence and arrogance can be a fine one and I try to not cross it. The ultimate goal is to learn the Truth, and iron sharpening iron is not a soft process. So, nor does error normally go away quietly.

Online agree.

To me confidence should be cerebral, arrogance is emotional...., this is hard to discern online. :)

Hi @HeIsHere

Sure, performative arts have often been about making social statements. Look at the performance of 'JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR' from my earlier days. A fairly blasphemous display with lots of colored clothing and hippie actors attempting to show us the world's understanding of who Jesus is. It was a totally corrupt understanding of Jesus' life with us.

But that's what unbelievers do. That's why they are unbelievers. And as I understand the Scriptures, there are always going to be a lot more unbelievers then believers. So why would we be surprised that unbelievers are running a lot of things on this earth?

Jesus made a worthy observation for us when he said, "When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith upon the earth?" And, "The love of most will grow cold." And Paul's teaching to us that not only in the latter days will mankind give approval of such wicked things, but they will invent new ways to sin.

I mean honestly, as I understand the Scriptures, we should rejoice as we see all of these prophetic warnings about the rise of wickedness upon the earth because that means that Jesus' return is near. But individually, or as a group of believers, our job is not to condemn them, but to tell them the gospel. And if they will accept it, to then be baptized. After they have accepted the message of salvation through Jesus and been baptized, then we are to teach those who have accepted and been baptized into the faith to follow the commands of Jesus. I don't think there's a single passage in the Scriptures on which we can justify some understanding that believers should go out and fix all the sin on the earth.

Being a history nerd, I thought the initial outrage was fabricated at first; but I could see how people thought -not the feast itself- but specifically the photograph was a mockery... there is a likelihood it was intentional.
