fan-like pattern anchored on a point off-center right. Each figure also
seems to be looking at at fixed point off-frame left. This creates a
visual tension--the action moves right but the figures want the eye to
move left. There's also a nice oval created by the figures' eyes and the
arm of the man on the right. The arc of the eye line loops down and
connects with the arm, which leads the eye back over to the torso of
Christ, up his body and back at his face. This loop goes round and
round, allowing the eye to take in the details of the painting. The arcs
and loops could also mimic the motion of the whip that during Christ's
Flagellation.

I like how Christ "looks" like He's trying to wriggle away from the whip's blows, and the whipper is pulling on His hair to bring Him back. Although Jesus is there because He wanted to be, His natural instinct is to avoid the pain and torture. It makes for a very human moment.

If you're not obsessed with race, then you are a racist. Once you realize that Jesus looked Middle Eastern rather than European, you'll realize that all of Christianity is a lie and you will abandon all that you've believed your whole life.

Yes. One lineage was given in one Gospel, the other in another. Although at this time given the time gap, David should have had a massive amount of descendants.

Mitch is happier to be in the minority where they don't have to actually deliver things they pretend to stand for when asking for votes but what their pay masters don't actually want.
He just doesn't want to be in a meaningless minority that isn't worth people giving grift to in order to make sure things they absolutely don't want to pass don't pass, like taxes on big companies to pay for all the cheap labor they want to import.

Given another couple hundred years it ought to near 100%.
The easy way to realize this is to count your 2 parents, count their 2 parents, and exponentiate backwards. It doesn't take long for your ancestor count in a generation to exceed the number of people alive. The reason is that you're related to the same people multiple times over.
People's bloodlines either trend towards common ancestry for future humans or go to extinction. And in the sense of bloodlines(though not meaningfully for genetics), one person from China can give everyone in Europe Chinese ancestry.

David was from the tribe of Benjamin; Bethlehem was his home town. So in the Christmas story Joseph (descendant of David) and Mary (descendant of David) get to Bethlehem (David's city) so Jesus (heir to David) can be born there.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, blonde beardand moustache with a look of calm like some stoned hippie.
That's what I saw when I was younger. (not the hippie part cause they came later) He looked a bit wishy washy. Maybe a bit light in the sandals.
Reading the New Testament gave that the lie. He was a tough no nonsense guy who could kick ass mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I think Compassion is foremost but not a weak and weepy compassion but one of strength and will to aid those in pain or danger.

Sicknick died. His mother said he was never hit and believes he died of
a stroke. His brother thinks it may have been pepper spray. Nobody
knows
It's too bad we don't have somebody like a doctor who could maybe do some type of examination and figure out what happened to him.

I do a lot of ancestry.com, and the thing that stands out is how few of a generation typically father or mother most of the next generation. Back on the farm 100 years ago, your great-grandparents had 10 children, but only 2 or 3 of them had large families that became the next generation. The Civil War made a big difference there too - there was a time in the 2nd half of the 19th century where in some places there literally were not enough men to go around, and many women of that generation died without ever having married. And every family had a son of that generation who died in the war. It was that big a demographic event.
So our family trees aren't this uniform exponential expansion process. Between common ancestors and breaks in the line, it's more like a bunch of vines than a tree.

There's a great scene in the movie The Proposition, an Australian western from a decade or so ago.
The local law captures the youngest of several outlaw brothers, and in an effort to incite some action from his older brothers, they decide to whip him 100 times.
We watch in a montage as the count falls away on the soundtrack. The blood mounts. The witnesses, who had started very eager to watch, begin to turn away in disgust. The young man's body slumps, only held up by his hands, tied to the post. The music falls away, and we hear the count again, and it's in the early 20s.
Whipping is an awful punishment.

The whole brouhaha was because the Empress Irene came back from retirement to remove her son from power. It was officially an iconoclast/iconophile scrum, but the upshot was that Mother Knows Best, and idiot son is out, maybe the grandson will be better. Neither Charlemagne nor the Pope recognized a woman ruler (100,000 Twitterites just clutched pearls) and the Pope didn't like the circumstances to the coup. So he made Charlemagne Holy Roman emperor, and widower Charlemagne then proposed marriage to widowed Irene, to allegedly re-unite the Roman Empire of old. She turned him down, and in return Charlemagne made a pact with the Abbassid Caliphate. (They sent him an elephant as a present.)

The New York and New Jersey Dutch are all cousins. All of them. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were fairly close cousins, but there was a time when they just did not marry anyone who was not also Dutch. So if you know anyone with New York or New Jersey Dutch ancestry, they are certainly related to the Roosevelts, the Vanderbilts, the Stuyvesants, etc.

Easy enough. If you and I are cousins, my kids are your first cousins once removed, my grandkids are your first cousins twice removed, etc. Your kids and my kids are second cousins. Your grandkids and my grandkids are third cousins.
Your kids and my grandkids are second cousins once removed.
Every time you add a generation on only one side, it's another level of "times removed", and if you add a generation on both sides, it's another level of "Nth cousin".
Double cousins, half cousins and double-half cousins are the tricky ones.

Interestingly enough in the time of Justinian the Great (when Rome was still part of the Eastern Empire) the Pope, whose Orthodox title was Patriarch of Rome, was summoned to attend the council that declared the Monophysite Christians to be heretics. The Pope objected, saying in effect to outright condemn so many people as heretics without attempting to reconcile or persuade them back to orthodoxy was setting a bad precedent. This was borne out not only in the time of Charlemagne, but in the early 11th century where the Catholic Church officially separated itself from Eastern Orthodoxy, declaring it schismatic. Nearly a thousand years later the breach still exists.

Other way around. The tl;dr is that the Byzantine emperors finally formalized what had long been informal in the East, the supremacy of the emperor over the Church. Identifying the Roman empire(as they saw themselves) with the Kingdom of God was commonplace. They deposed and appointed at will(essentially a papal investiture controversy). The Ottomans later continued this practice, which is how they got the Patriarch of Constantinople to endorse their rule.
Constantinople was also elevated in the first place by the Eastern emperors even though it didn't really have religious significance other than the empire/kingdom of God connection. The other seats were the Three Petrine Sees and Jerusalem.

I believe a lot of Bible scholars think Jesus, by the time he went to the cross, looked like hamburger that had been hit by a semi.
------
It's worth noting that Jesus collapsed while carrying his cross, and Simon of Cyrenia was pulled from the crowd and made to assist him. Probably after he dared to comment on the unfairness of making a suffering man carry his own cross. The centurion prob'ly said "Alright you bleeding heart, if you like him you can help him."
Posted by: exdem13 at February 23, 2021 11:15 AM (W+kMI)
-------
Pilate's treatment of Jesus is not much different from standard Roman punishments. Pilate had Jesus flogged to loosen his tongue and make a statement, and to appease the mob. When that didn't work, he had Jesus publicly mocked and shamed by the cohort, which was a standard punishment for troublemakers who hadn't committed outright treason or rebellion, or who just didn't seem to merit the axe/cross. "Ecce homo!" in other Roman courts would've resulted in the crowd jeering and mocking the accused, pretty much letting the air out of the person so mocked. But the crowd that day had been whipped into lynch mob frenzy and wanted blood, so Pilate washed his hands of it. He let the sentence on the placard stand, though.
