- Lecture Description: Christian Art has its roots in the practical needs of the Early Christians. But, once worship was made free, we see an explosion in the creation of colorful art in the form of “Iconography”, used to convey the Faith and also as an aid to worship. This still exists in the Christian East. But, what transpired in the Christian West to change Iconography back to just "Christian Art"? This presentation will be a historical overview of the development of Christian Art.

Interesting journey from chemical engineer to a priest.
He is a rock star
everything has opposits
There are statues in the early curch and statues are a permanent fixtures in the western church. Statues appear in the facades of most Cathedrals
You facy feed crizy
Love Icons, but most art in Catholic churches is BAD.

Yeshua came to teach us "The Way"
Yeshua's enimies put the Bible together and left out so much cronological data
Data that would controdicted what Yeshua's enimies put together.
The truth of anything has no Controdictions.
Period.
I follow Yeshua.
The NT was written in Greek, the Apostles called him Ieosus Christos, which translates to Jesus Christ in English. I do not understand why people say Yeshua when, if anything, if you want to be accurate to the original language it would be Iesous. But it does not matter, because the wonderful works of God were spoken in many tongues on pentecost. That includes Christs name.
@@spiritspeaksofhim6436 Yeshua is the Hebrew name for the Greek Ιησού. The New Testament was written in Greek but he may have been called by his Hebrew name. In Zechariah 3-6 Joshua (Yeshua) is a type of Jesus so that would be the name he was called by. In the Greek lexicon the name is Iesous and the English transliteration drops the I and adds the J making it Jesus. My prayer is that this may help. God bless you.
