Son of lamb

[trevor borocz johnson]

Anyone can appreciate that the future will look back on these times for a LONG time and wonder what it was like to be us. I suppose I would answer ____________________.

I suppose I would tell them to make Marble Madness longer but with the same cool songs the same music. I bet there a lot quieter in the future with a lot less moral dilemma's, or maybe the opposite where laziness and boredom lead to immorality that needs looking over? I don't know, I imagine arguements over law and control will last a long time. I would hope we slowly evolve to be safest future there is.

Studying the thread title, I found that the 'son of lamb' refers to Jesus Christ, and I found this designation very sweet. I have seen paintings of Jesus holding a lamb tenderly in his arms and this came to mind.

I would like to share a thought and suggestion over here. Considering that the lamb is given a lot of importance in Christian theology and religion, I think it would be appropriate if Christians kept away from slaughtering lambs and eating them, just like Jews and Muslims keep away from pork and Hindus keep away from beef. 

It can be seen as a sign of respect for sheep considering their importance in the Christian theology and religion. Just saying.

I read that as Jesus holding a lamb tenderloin, lol.

Where my mind went when I read Son of Lamb, is that lambs are already underage sheep, so for a lamb to have a son, given that sons are pretty exclusively human, was not good at all.

With all the "Good Shepherd" imagery, do the pious think that flocks are kept as pets?

I refer to the lamb of the bible the sleign one who opens the seven seals, I think its cryptic but they don't mean specifically a lamb or that he's physically sleign either.

This is what I am talking about.

The lamb is supposed to symbolize values like innocence, tenderness, sensitivity, nonviolence, love and compassion. This is what the Christian teachings on the lamb and pictures of Christ holding the lamb in His hands is meant to depict.

The lamb should bring such values to mind through association , so that we can be inspired to act and manifest such values in society. 

However, culinary dishes related to lambs bring forth instead other visual images related to momentary stimulation of taste buds. 

Consciously abstaining from lamb meat and slaughter thereby, would be an intelligent way to promote these associated values in society.

In a violent society where mass shootings and gun violence are commonplace and is on the rise, we need all the spiritual tools we can use to counter the same.

You can laugh disparagingly about this but it will not be funny when we ourselves finally encounter a crazy maniac with guns who believe violence and sadism is fun
and cool.

What has food got to do with violence? I live in country Australia and was raised on lamb however I don't like the taste now. All baby animals are cute but everything has to eat, be it meat or veg and that plant or animal has to die before we eat it. Baby rabbits are cuter than lambs but every carnivore eats them, it's called nature and living on earth. We have to kill in order to eat and while it may be sad to you it's just what has always been so get over it. You are the one with the problem confusing food prep with psychopaths.

Hi Ajay

Maybe the lamb thing is taught differently in varying countries or in different times. I was taught he was a shepard and we are his floch to tend. I was also taught that we were his soldiers that would have to fight for him so who is protecting who really. To me it is about submission and nothing more.

One of my most vivid culinary memories is an Easter dinner with family at an Italian place (now gone, alas) in Boston's North End. We had roast leg of lamb - exquisitely prepared and presented; absolutely delicious.

The chef was very likely Christian; the event was the central Christian holy day, the setting was the most self-consciously Christian neighborhood in Boston. That particular item wasn't otherwise on the menu except on Easter.

The serving of lamb is as valid a symbol of Christian celebration of Easter as the living animal is as the symbolic companion of Jesus or the wounded animal is as a symbol of Jesus crucified.

No. There is no prohibition in any Abrahamic religion from eating lamb. In the arms of Jesus, the lamb represents a lost soul found and as Jesus, the blood sacrifice for the remission of all of humanity's sins. As a symbol only, lambs are neither sacred nor divine.

Sounds like the title of an old Universal horror sequel.

Here's the passage about the lamb, age of lamb is still yet to come. But I bet its better then tidal waves.

The Lamb Takes the Scroll

1Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals. 2And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”

3But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. 4And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

5Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spiritsa of God sent out into all the earth. 7And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.

8When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9And they sang a new song:

“Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals,

because You were slain,

and by Your blood You purchased for God

those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

10You have made them to be a kingdom

and priests to serve our God,

and they will reign uponb the earth.”

The Lamb Exalted

11Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels and living creatures and elders encircling the throne, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. 12In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,

to receive power and riches

and wisdom and strength

and honor and glory and blessing!”

13And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To Him who sits on the throne

and to the Lamb

be praise and honor and glory and power

forever and ever!”

14And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.c

Sleign? I assume you killed someone with a sled? Or was it a one horse open slay?
