I happen to like abstract art because I can use my own imagination in interpreting the piece.

I would think that realistic art would be more blasphemous than abstract art, since it actually looks like what it is representing and is therefore more like an idol.
plus abstract art, to me, represents emotions more than actual objects.

Abstract art is about expressing the painter's emotions through visual elements in a non representational form, there is no direct message. Having no message it cannot have a moral value. Having no moral value means it cannot be right or wrong. So it should be safe for Christians and members of any other religion.

Well, as you say, it's open to interpretation...So then it would depend on the person looking at the piece.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so is the lack of it.
The fact is that people will judge and censor...and thus take away your right to decide what is right or wrong. No one should be given such power... especially not the church.
Of all the Creator's children, we have the freedom of choice. If God doesn't take it away from you, why let a man?

This is something I never thought would come up for Christians.
Art is..art. I mean, it's not something that really makes me mad or anything because it's someone's own work and imagination. I don't really see why Christians would get angry about it. I can't think of any time that's been an issue with people, Christian or not.

No, genuinely it has no longer been shown. it isn't a shown regulation my any means. in accordance with reality would not make it a reality. certain they have got here across a set of fossils yet they have not shown that one advanced from the different. it is a hypothesis, meaning it isn't shown yet assumed. they look on the fossils and say, "it is what we assume of is the perfect rationalization." Your rubber band or vehicle analogies do not correlate with evolution. the aspect with a rubber band is something you are able to calculate and predict wisely. you're speaking about including extra power to a device. replacing the layout of a vehicle isn't like replacing a theory. the motorized vehicle nevertheless works once you're making new more desirable aspects. once you regulate issues contained in the perception of evolution you're truly putting forward that what you theory formerly isn't excellent and that the perception because it became did not artwork. listed right here are some info. technological expertise won't be able to coach how existence got here from non-residing cloth on it is own. technological expertise won't be able to describe how complicated platforms would have advanced by random risk. the opportunities by assessment occurring are so tremendous that it is merely about no longer achievable. Now, if God needs to practise guide a procedure like evolution it is an completely different tale. God is smart and would make issues come jointly. Evolution is an unproven theory. because you probably did not make a good remotely effective argument on your case please quit making nonsense arguments. by the way, the very definitions you gave counter your own arguments 5: a a danger or scientifically suited primary theory or body of concepts provided to describe phenomena

Why on earth would it be? Art is all in the interpretation. If it depicts moral depravity or anything blasphemous, then take caution. Otherwise, it's fine.

What is more abstract than the idea of life after death, infinity, or heaven? I think that Jesus would want you to use your brain.

I don't remember Jesus ever saying yes or no to modern art. Now for the $ hungry churches in his name...maybe. Probably depends if it has boobs or not

God gave you the gift of imagination and it pleases Him that you are using it.
