Do these make sense?

 

[nitefly]

Photos of the Bible?

 

[inneist]

Yes. I thought it's obvious. Hmmm, but thanks for asking!

Oh sorry. No offence. The light was through the window shutter, not the bar.

I gave it a second thought just now. Yeah, it's a bit pointless and confusing..

No offense taken...I was only joking around..

What was you intent...maybe others can help out.

 

[inneist]

I'm not sure myself. Light, creation, darkness, doubt, Jews, Christians, ..

Anyway, I give it up now. Hehe.

personally I thought it gave the bible a nice marbled effect. Like standing on the firm foundation of the Word of God. That is what I got from it... also an almost old partchment feel to it.

"Do these make sense?"

I thought you were asking if it made sense? well now thats a whole other can of worms now? As far as the photos, it does give it monistary kinda feel

I could see some sense in the last shot - the shadows slightly resemble people, and they form a nice diagonal line, actually showing the exodus.
If you would put a piece of Matsa, or, even better, the black scullcape over the page, the idea would be obvious.
The first two shots are meaningless for me.

it does look a lot like bars....

In a lot of countries around the world they throw you in prision for
just having a bible. In iran a dude was almost killed because he became a
christian.... russia was worse before the curtain came down they would kill everyone at a bible study on the spot...

wow!!! thats sobering......

 

[his4ever]

my husband works with the russian churches and we hear stories all the time about what happened before the curtain fell. it is so amazing.

Thanks for everyone's comment.

Somehow I was quite amazed by two different types of reaction I got after I showed these simple images to several friends from different cultural backgrounds. One was instantly turned off by seeing the image of the Bible and asked: "Are you proselytizing me?". The other one quibbed "Huh, how can you lock the Bible behind the bars?"

Maybe that's why there's a new testament when people can't resolve the old one.
