The synoptic gospels inform us several times of the miracles performed by Christ, we read that he healed the blind, repaired a mans ear, cast out devils and even raised the dead. These miraculous achievements lay down the very foundation of Christs divinity. For not any ordinary man can achieve such works. The principles of Christianity reside in Christ, Christ the son of God, Christ the son of man. We learn that he is both human and divine, being born of a human mother and a divine father, he shares the spiritual genetics of our Father in Heaven.These genetics are really something, for it is God who created everything, what powers! Luke informs us how Christ heals the dreaded horrible disease of leprosy.

And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

5:13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

5:14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

5:15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.


It is not hard for man to grasp Christ humanness, He looks like a man, he eats, needs sleep, loves, gets angry and is even subject to pain and ultimately death. In addition, He suffers from temptation, just like a man. His human attributes are shown with His temptations, Christ is tempted to make bread from stones to relive his hunger.

(And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the a Son of God, I command that these stones be made bread.)1 Luke 4:3

Hunger, such a human trait, yet his temptation is to use his "powers". Throwout the gospels we read of his temptations such as in Matthew 4:5-7.

And then the story, which I always remember because of the impression it made of Jesus being offered the world by the devil, and Christ was tempted, so would any man. we learn however that Jesus rejected and overcame this temptation, we are lead to ask, could any man on earth do the same?

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
1 Matt 16:26, 1st John 2:15


But how can we, his followers, disciples, believers know for a fact that the claims of divinity are valid? The most conclusive evidence, is clearly an ability to do so, for him to see or hear things that the rest of us, man, can not. Healing the blind and certainly raising the dead constituties such abilities. Yet I have learned that only John writes of this most extordaroy feat.

Matthew 12:22-23 (New International Version)
Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. 23 All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"

As in this verse the people are amazed at these wonders and ask is this in essence Christ? It is these works that make them begin to believe. Where would christianity be without the miracles of Christ. faith is difficult enough.

We are lead to believe that the reports of the healings in fact occurred, if this is true then it is an easy step to believe that Christ is the Son of God, and that our salvation is threw him. He is in fact real.

The Gospels show the stark contrast of Christ, of his humanness and his Godliness. Each writer reaffirms the reports of the miraculous healing and feats of Christ while allos showing his human weaknesses. To read these books one s faith is affirmed and sympathy is easily aroused for Christ for he like us wrestles with being good and doing the right thing. We learn that he is the Son of God

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. (Luke 5:22-24)

Copy his poem the road not taken-

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature." So there is not really a really author to the stories within the book but who ever did really write them was amazing writer.

It is mainly about a king or a Sultan how marries young women and kills them after their wedding day, but there one night the girl was clever and had her younger sister sneak into her bed room before the king saw her when the sister was found.His wife bag to tell her sister a story before she went to bed, the king allowed it, interested himself in what the story was going to be about.His wife began her story and for 1,001 nights she told her story and therefore lived longer then any other wife of the king's.

At one time the mother tried carringcarrying both of her two babbiesbabies, the father seeing she was haveinghaving trouble came and took one of the babies on his back. This little family I found out was going to be departed because in septemberSeptember the two little lemurs were going to be sold! This made me so sad :( This adorable family was going to be separated, the toughtthought that this family was almost more of a family then a human family,baffled me. When I left their home I couldnt help but feel bad for the mother and father.

Why might owning an exotic pet be good or bad-

GOOD-It's good because the pet lives longer and may like human companushipcompanionship.

BAD- It's bad because the animal is not in its natural habitatehabitat and its a wild animal and at any moment could do something violent.

I think it should become harder to get exotic animals and someone should come to the place where the animal is going to stay to make sure the animal is safe and happier.

Up load saturn devouring his son.
"Perhaps the best known of the Black Paintings is Saturn Devouring His Son. The image portrays the Roman god Saturn eating one of his children. Fearing a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him, Saturn ate each of his children upon their birth. Goya depicts this act of cannibalism with startling savagery"
(Wikipedia,The Black painting)







What are the BLACK PAINTINGS?

"He had a first hand and acute awareness of panic, terror, fear and hysteria. He had survived two near-fatal illnesses, and grew increasingly anxious and impatient in fear of relapse. These factors combined are thought to have led to his production of 14 works known collectively as the Black Paintings.

Using oil paints and working directly onto the walls of his dining and sitting rooms, Goya created intense, haunting works with dark themes. The paintings were not commissioned and were not meant to leave his home; it is likely that the artist never intended the works for public exhibition: "...these paintings are as close to being hermetically private as any that have ever been produced in the history of Western art." Goya did not title the paintings, or if he did, he never revealed those titles; the names have been usually by provided art historians."(Wikipedia,The Black painting)

Two of Goya's best known paintings are The Nude Maja (La maja desnuda) and The Clothed Maja find them upload comment on each.




It looks almost the same as the picture blow except for some diferences which are she is wearing clothes which is the mane differnce between the pictures.Another is the backround it is almost commpetly black and the one blow spot lights Duchess of Alba. Another thing I have noticed is both pictures are in the same poshion, it looks like you chould put both painting together and the bodies would be alined.

I think this picture shows that Goya did have a romantic relationship with Duchess of Alba, "with whom Goya is thought to have had an affair, and the mistress of Manuel de Godoy, who subsequently owned the paintings. Neither theory has been verified, and it remains as likely that the paintings represent an idealized composite."(wikipedia,Goya)

"In the 1810s, Goya created a set of aquatint prints titled The Disasters of War which depict scenes from the Peninsular War. The scenes are singularly disturbing, sometimes macabre in their depiction of battlefield horror, and represent an outraged conscience in the face of death and destruction. The prints were not published until 1863, 35 years after Goya's death." Find as many images as you want and upload.

I think these four drawings are very macob and horrifing and down right scary. I think there was a good reason for the drawing not to be published untill after his death cause if the people of his time saw these they would have been out raged. As horried as these pictures are they are true to the events.

What gener is she from: Mexican artist

Give a breif bio. (include where she was born, what happened to her in her life that shaped her art, how she died, who was she married to) minimal citation!!!!Do not cut and paste in your own words

"Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in the house of her parents, known as La Casa Azul (The Blue House), in Coyoacán. At the time, this was a small town on the outskirts of Mexico City.On September 17, 1925, Kahlo was riding in a bus when the vehicle collided with a trolley car. She suffered serious injuries in the accident, including a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, eleven fractures in her right leg, a crushed and dislocated right foot, and a dislocated shoulder. An iron handrail pierced her abdomen and her uterus, which seriously damaged her reproductive ability.She had thirty-five operations as a result of the accident."( wikipedia,Frida)After the accident,Frida turned her attention away from the pain and became a full-time painter. The accident left her in a great deal of pain while she recovered in a full body cast; she painted to keep her intertained.Although she recovered from her injuries and eventually regained her ability to walk, she was plagued by relapses of extreme pain for the remainder of her life.One day, she approached the painter, Diego Rivera, whose work she like alot, asking him for advice about continuing her art career. He recognized her talent.They began an intimate relationship with Frida. "They were married in 1929, despite the disapproval of Frida's mother.

Their marriage was often tumultuous. Kahlo and Rivera had fiery temperaments and had numerous extramarital affairs. Kahlo had affairs with both men and women, Rivera knew and tolerated her relationships with women, but her relationships with men made him jealous. For her part, Kahlo was furious when she learned that Rivera had an affair with her younger sister, Cristina. The couple eventually divorced, but remarried in 1940."(Wikipedia,frida)

The year before her death she had her left leg amputated at the knee, because of gangrene.The cause of death is pulmonary embolism, some say that it could of been an over dose it may or may not of been accidental. It has not been proven.After her death her husband said "The day Kahlo died was the most tragic day of my life,I have realized that the most wonderful part of my life had been my love for her.
