The BBC reports that: "A vase found in a house-clearance in London has been sold for £43m, thought to be a record for any Chinese artwork. The 18th Century Qianlong porcelain piece had been estimated to fetch up to £1.2m for the brother and sister who inherited it. "The sister had to go out of the room and have a breath of fresh air," said Helen Porter from Bainbridges auction house in Ruislip, north-west London. The vase is yellow and sky blue in colour with a fish motif on the front. The buyer - who is thought to have come from the Chinese mainland - paid £43m, with an additional premium of £8.6m to go to the auctioneer. The family who inherited the piece "had no idea what they had", Ms Porter said. "They were hopeful but they didn't dare believe until the hammer went down." It is thought the vase left China in about 1860, and belonged to one family for about 70 years.
OK. Now this raises a number of issues for me. Here's but two of them::
The first is how a bloody vase is worth £43 simply because we say it is! The value of this tiny piece of porcelain is very simply 'what somebody was willing to pay for it.' There is slight intrinsic value in the piece, but not £43 million pounds worth! The second issue is the sheer immorality of paying £43 million for a vase when people will die tonight because of lack of food, yes people will die in depression TODAY, because they cannot find a job or feed their family. This £43 million could have significantly impacted the lives of not a few human beings today. No, this purchase, is nothing but an obscene crime against humanity.
A greater crime however, and I mean this, is when the church put bricks and mortar, programs and policies before its own blood bought brethren. Yes, Christians today will fall off the back of the luxury cruise ship of western Christianity and disappear into the distance, never to be seen again. Sometimes the sucking waves will be simply lack of finance, lack of hope, lack of love, but whatever, it will suck them down to the depths of their own personal hell. I tell you, when the church allows these people to disappear into the fading white phosphorescence of a darkened sea, yet still pours money into keeping the lights on in vast edifices of entertainment, then it com mitts sin, not only against a seemingly silent Christ who surely stares aghast at the staggering sight of all the sinking souls amongst His own redeemed people, but it sins against itself. Yes, whilst maintaining it's lying promotion it's own happy head shot of its heavily made up complexion, all in smiling and pastel colours, in the background, away from the cameras, this sin causes its own broken bowels to hang down from its own scabby arse, its loose and ungripping sphincter unable to hold in the whole maggot eaten mess of it, while the Lord of the flies hungrily circles, singing around the piled high skubula. I tell you, the offence of a the purchase of a £43 million vase, is nothing compared to the offensive self killing shittiness which THE CHURCH OF THE TARE AND NOT THE WHEAT, involves itself in every single day.
May God have mercy upon us.
James 2:15-17
15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. NKJV
Oh and finally - Here are a few verse from the Bible use by 'The Church of The Tare and Not The Wheat.' It's Called The Alternative Ending Bible
Matthew 14:25-35
25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."
28 And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."
29 So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
31 but the Lord said “No” and walked on by as Peter was eaten alive by the foaming waters and sucked beneath the big and pounding waves.
32 And when Jesus got into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 Then those who were in the boat just stared at Jesus and were aghast!"
34 “Well”, he said, “There’s work to do. Row on!”
35 So they did. And eventually, all those questions they had about Peter: why he was left to drown? What his secret sins could have been and the like? Were all eventually sunk deep beneath their calmer waters, along with 'the rock', whose bloated body was now made food for all those other fishes in the sea that also had no money in their mouths.
