Horror Of Herod - OT/NT Series 3
Friendship said:
The poem revolves around the biblical account of the flight into Egypt by Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, highlighting themes of escape, prophecy fulfillment, and the tragedy of innocent lives lost due to Herod\'s wrath. It juxtaposes the hope represented by the Holy Family\'s escape with the sorrow of the families in Bethlehem who lost their children. So sad

A most sad and dark story which seems a little too tragic for the celebration of a joyous time of the year. Well crafted as always Orchi it sends a chill down the spine at Christmas time. Well done my friend

Your poem revolves around the calling of the first disciples of Jesus, specifically focusing on Andrew and his introduction of Simon Peter to Christ. The subject matter encompasses themes of discipleship, evangelism, and the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah (the Anointed One). It emphasizes the importance of sharing faith and bringing others to Christ, mirroring Andrew\'s actions in the biblical narrative.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Oh no, there\'s no ruler to reign!
Why did she ever run away?
Turns out a glugging sailor came by,
Spinach and cream spray gone astray!
Ah-gah-gah-gah-glug-glug!
Geesh. I just let him get it out of the way. There...good job on this Orchi! Now if we could reign in Mr.\'s P & T, it would be a miracle of Advent proportions! 🤣

Well written. The poem revolves around the birth of Jesus Christ, specifically focusing on the prophetic announcement of His coming as the King of the Jews. It highlights the reactions of Herod and the people of Jerusalem, the inquiry of the chief priests and scribes, and the fulfillment of prophecy regarding Jesus\' birthplace in Bethlehem.

A Son Brings Salvation - OT/NT Series 1
Tristan Robert Lange said:
On another note, the whole virgin vs. young woman debate is actually pretty fascinating. In the Septuagint...the oldest full compilation of the Hebrew Scriptures translated into Greek...the translators chose the word παρθένος (parthenos) meaning virgin. But that was a mistranslation of the original Hebrew, which uses עַלְמָה (‘almāh), meaning young woman of marriageable age, not necessarily a virgin. That translation slip is one of the big reasons the Jewish community later produced their own standardized Hebrew Bible — the Tanakh — to preserve the original wording and avoid theological misunderstandings created by the Greek translation.

KP me thinks is someone you don\'t bring back an opened pay packet, and you can\'t leave her cos she\'s like a sniffer dog on heat.
Fido on the other hand is a friend for life, but even he knows what side his bread is pedigree chummed.

The poem explores the humorous and somewhat absurd dynamics of a relationship, particularly focusing on the sense of entrapment and the playful banter between the speaker and KP (presumably a partner). The speaker expresses a tongue-in-cheek lamentation about being \"changed\" by marriage, suggesting both a loss of freedom and a playful acceptance of their situation.
