Bride of God: The Timid

This took me...years to finish. And not consecutively. Since I am very much approving of the Old Testament, which involves blood, gore, black and white law (God's law), and no one can make mistakes...I took Ephesians rather...brutally.

Here's the scripture:

"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...."

Ephesians 6:10-18

Since I never considered God to be a pansy--there never were "fluffy pretty angels" mentioned in the Bible--I didn't want God's women to be pansies either. Therefore, for my dear Mom's friend, I've painted this for her. This is the...non-violent version.

My mom's friend also showed my earlier sketch to her 'female group' and they asked her "where were her tassels" or something like that. Out of boiling anger towards such foolish conservatism, I gave her a PG look (sorry GURLZ, but I wasn't going to dress her up in a damned MUSLIM GET-UP!!!). And "she ain't no nun!" -Sister Act I

So...now you've seen the edited nice version.

ON WITH THE BLOOD AND SEXY VERSION!!!!
