what’s with the cover art for Manic Street Preachers’ 1994 album “The Holy Bible”?
the cover art of a painting picture of three fat ladies in underwears and the album is called the Holy Bible.

is it because they hated and were ridiculing certain Ned Flanders-like Christian that are against rock music?

Most popular answer:

Answer by Bowzer
No, it was an existing painting.

The album cover is a painting called Strategy (South Face/Front Face/North Face) by artist Jenny Saville.

Although the band were originally quoted £30,000 to use the painting by the Saatchi gallery, Saville gave her permission for use of her work for free after a 30-minute telephone call with Richey James Edwards in which he described, in detail, each song on the album. Underneath the painting is the tracklisting and above it is the band name and album title, all in the same typeface as Simple Minds’ Empires and Dance album. The back cover features a photo of the band in military uniforms and a quote taken from Octave Mirbeau’s book The Torture Garden.

Of the album title, Edwards said “In every hotel in the world, the only constant is the Holy Bible”.

It has to be said that this is not the only ‘fat person’ work of art she’s done:

God commanded Moses to go to Egypt and deliver his fellow Hebrews from bondage. Pharaoh replied that he did not know their God and would not permit them to go. Eventually Pharaoh let the Hebrews depart after Moses’ God sent ten plagues upon the Egyptians. The tenth plague was the slaying of the Egyptian male first-born children, whereupon such terror seized the Egyptians that they ordered the Hebrews to leave. Moses then led his people eastward, beginning the long journey to Canaan.

Disagree? Say so:

Is the “Holy Bible” really “Holy”?
Holy means “Pure”. It Means “Without Contradiction” If I could show you Contradictions in the bible, would it still be Holy?

Most popular answer:

Answer by Schneb
Beware of so-called “contradictions”. It is God’s way of winnowing…

http://www.schneblin.com/studies/pdfs/winnowing_wheat_chaff.pdf

I have studied the Bible cover to cover over 35 years. I have found zero contradictions that cannot be explained due to context or translation error (Hebrew and Greek are without contradiction). You need credentials to make the accusation.

Note: There ARE contradictions if your doctrine is messed up. For example, if you do NOT believe that Jesus is God, then you will find many. Here are just two examples…

http://schnebin.blogspot.com/2007/03/who-rose-jesus-from-dead.html

The following do not believe that Jesus is God. So yes, the Bible in their hands WOULD have contradictions, and would NOT be Holy.

Atheists did you know that the Holy Bible “ACCURATELY” declares the existence of God in Romans 1:20?

circular reasoning is fail.

Disagree? Say so:


Is “Repentance” a necessary pre-condition to “Baptism” and receiving the Holy Ghost?
Is “Repentance” a necessary pre-condition to “Baptism” and receiving the Holy Ghost?

Can someone receive the Holy Ghost before receiving repentance and baptism?

Was Cornelius an exception to the rule – in relation to the revelation to Peter and salvation to the Gentiles?

I believe Apostle Peter when he gave in order repentance and then baptism

Acts 2:38
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Examples of this order appear to start even in Peter’s example of “Repentance” in Matt. 26:75

“Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.”

Later in the book of John..
Jesus in restoring Peter to Himself removes any trace of self-righteousness within him. We will see how that the Lord has to reveal to each disciple His sinfulness before he is ready to be effectively used and sent out by Christ

One other question I have is, is Cornelius’ receiving salvation and the Holy Ghost an exception to the rule or is Cornelius an instance of God’s will for whom He choses (Rom. 9)?

It would seem also that in terms of 1 Peter 3:21 that repentance and baptism were one in the same and could not be independent of each other

“The like figure unto which {whereunto} even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ”
@D Meadowville .. Are you sure about that?

1 Peter 3:21

“The like figure unto which {whereunto} EVEN BAPTISM DOTH ALSO NOW SAVE US (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ”
@ Linda .. I do not accept JW points of view. Nor do I accept any groups view when they do not accept the FULL DIETY of Jesus Christ
Because Peter clearly states what “Baptism” truly is in 1 Peter 3:21

And I agree with @Messenger of God

I believe people may not understand what baptism truly is. 1 Peter 3:21 clearly speaks of what it is

It depends who you talk to.

It’s all a matter of opinion and interpretation, there’s no way to check any specific claim They don’t seem to correspond to reality in any meaningful way.

Have it whichever way you want it, it’s all make-believe.

Robert Burns ‘Holy Willie’s Prayer’ – detail page 2


Holy Willie’s Prayer (pages 21-25 of the The Glenriddel Manuscripts, which contain a selection of Burn’s poems and letters, compiled in two volumes, for presentation to Burns’s friend, Robert Riddell of Glenriddell (1755-1794), during the years 1791 to 1793.) The first volume, contains copies of poems both in Burns’s hand and in that of a scribe. It contains over 50 poems, most famously a full version of Holy Willie’s Prayer. This is the most devastating and amusing of Burns’s diatribes against the apparent hypocrisy of certain sections of his native Church. It is directed against William Fisher, a farmer in Montgarswood and an elder of Mauchline Kirk. Burns uses this hypocrite – who had initiated disciplinary action against the poet’s friend, Gavin Hamilton, for failing to attend the Kirk regularly – to savage the orthodox Calvinist doctrine of double predestination. The satire was so severe that it circulated in handwritten form for some three years before its publication as part of a pamphlet. Written in August 1785, this is one of the poet’s earliest satirical works on orthodox Calvinism and is the only version of the poem in Burns’s hand.
