And? You will frequently see imagery of the Sun where it comes to Christianity.
This website will help you to understand why. https://solarmythology.com (not my website despite my username)
I can sort of see the idea of the sun shining through the stained glass window and the silhouette of the cathedral. But I doubt this will be legible in small size.
Idk where they are going with this. It’s not instantly recognizable, it’s not practical enough for its intended usage and it’s not outrageous enough to memorable like the London 2012 Olympics thingy.
This same idea can be simplified and improved. I mean, it’s THE Notre Dame, it has that instant iconography and they are not banking on it for some reason.
I think it means it’s “Illuminated” after the fire.
Maybe. Either way, it’s an awkward logo. It kinda looks like a construction company / architect bureau logo to me. Too modern in a bad way.
Why, it’s an all seeing eye of course.
They believe in a p***s giving off life enriching sperm. id turned upside down it could be.
gee, others saw a sun or star, others eye or retina, you saw a male organ spewing sperm, life enriching in your words… it really shows a lot about you
Reminds me of a phrase George Bush Sr used in a speech he gave in the early 1990s, ‘’ A thousand points of light.’’ Masonic of course.
A portal opening? 🤔
Meanwhile the Pope is skipping the grand opening, and the French government is wanting to force the cathedral to charge entrance.
It’s an eye ball
Notre-Dame de Paris was dedicated to the mother of Jesus (Mary) and not to Jesus Christ Himself. Doesn’t anyone find it odd that the monument is dedicated to the mother of the Savior of the world and not to the Savior Himself? Doesn’t anyone see the hypocrisy behind it? Isn’t it strange that we have a group of people in the world who worship the mother of the Savior and not the Savior Himself, cry out for help from the mother of the Savior and not to the Savior Himself, does no one see the deception?
Jesus def hates his mom, fo’ sho’
Some of you seem offended, i can see it in the downvotes but never forget dear friends that it is the truth that will set you free !! 😉 Kisssssssseeesssss 😘😘😘
John 8:31-32
31 So Jesus [Not Mary] said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
But if you think about it, God literally chose her. Doesn’t that in itself make Mary very special?
There are plenty of churches dedicated to different saints other than Jesus and nobody ever complains.
In which case we should also have churches in honor of Adam and Eve, but why? The fact that God chose Mary to bear Jesus does not make her a goddess; she was an ordinary woman who carried the Savior of the world within her. Idolatry is the worship of anything that is not God. The fact that men decide to worship Mary and not Jesus Christ simply means that they are in idolatry:
Exodus 20:3-7
3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Mary had only carried the Savior of the world within her, so once again, why adore her and not the Savior within her?
Just because Adam and Eve were the first human beings doesn’t mean we should worship them; that wouldn’t make any sense. The same goes for Mary, who carried within her the Savior we all need.
To ignore the Savior and start worshipping his earthly mother is nothing but foolishness.
I doubt anybody thinks of Mary as of a goddess, she’s more like a high-level saint, and a sympathetic figure, most importantly, a mother figure.
Abrahamic religions tend to be very male-centric and having a prominent female figure helps to balance it out. And as I mentioned, there are plenty of saints that people like, and there are many churches dedicated to them. There’s a Saint Nicholas Church not very far from me, for example.
This sort of dogmatic arguing is why I prefer not to consider myself to be of any Christian branch. So tiring.
Adam and Eve are not considered saints because they threw us all out of the garden of Eden. They are the baddies, so to speak.
Mary was chosen by God to bring Jesus into this world. She’s as blessed and saint-like as one can be.
You stated : “I doubt anybody thinks of Mary as of a goddess, she’s more like a high-level saint, and a sympathetic figure, most importantly, a mother figure.”
Well, i don’t doubt…
We have a whole religion devoted to her: Catholicism.
To worship someone as God without them being God is to make them a god, a goddess.
Jesus had never called his mother a Saint. It’s clear from Scripture that she had no special status, apart from carrying the Savior of the world in her womb, she needed to believe in her own Son in order to be saved, otherwise she would end up eternally in hell like the Pharisees, with no special status.
And all the “saints” who have existed throughout history have not all been saints, but very often people who have been deceived by familiar spirits convincing them they were supreme beings who received divine revelations when it was demonic spirits in disguise (divination). The Bible clearly states that Satan disguises himself as an angel of Light, for him, Catholicism is the perfect way to do it, proof most of these priests are pedo-criminals, who is their heavenly father? Sorry … mother
You also stated : This sort of dogmatic arguing is why I prefer not to consider myself to be of any Christian branch. So tiring.
There’s only one branch in the tree: God’s kingdom, not Mary’s.
Adam and Eve were saints, but after sinning they lost their holiness. What would make Mary, a woman born in sin like all the others, a saint all of a sudden? The Bible speaks of born-again people as being saints of God, why? Because they have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus. Jesus is the Saint of all saints, it is He who purifies by His blood, not Mary.
Your last statement : Mary was chosen by God to bring Jesus into this world. She’s as blessed and saint-like as one can be.
John the Baptist did not praise Mary, the mother of Jesus, but Jesus Christ Himself before His baptism when he saw him coming towards him. Yes, she had carried the Savior of the world, but that doesn’t make her a god; to worship her is to be an idolater.
Mary’s not a God, but she’s someone who was anointed. God has chosen her to be born. That’s a lot. And that makes her significant, but she’s totally not a God.
Also if we’re arguing about not all saints being saints, I can also argue that the scripture itself was edited by not-so-holy people to serve their not-so-holy needs.
I will never believe that God will punish three generations of children just because their ancestors were non-believers or followers of some other religion (something that is totally outside of control of those children).
Doesn’t that make God unfair and vengeful?
I refuse to believe that God is like that.
These sort of things just look like something that people wrote to scare others into submission.
I fully believe that God is fair and will judge you on your own merits.
Mary is blessed but she’s not the blesser.
God never said to pray to her ever, not even as a mediator.
So are other saints. So what?
God is something way too big, too powerful, hard to grasp, maybe even scary for some. So having a saint (an actual person who is just a person) as an inspirational / educational figure helps to lower that threshold.
