Hi, Steve. I've moved this over to off-topic.debate since that seemed more appropriate. (...) I am presenting the story of how Jesus insulted a Canaanite woman. I grant that this can also be seen as part of a larger story about how Jesus exorcised (...) (18 years ago, 4-Mar-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

After continued discussion with others about this matter (not on LUGNET), I've decided to add two more illustrations to the Canaanite Dogs story. I now realize that my original version really makes it appear as though Jesus does not heal the woman, (...) (18 years ago, 4-Mar-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) You are perhaps the consummate artist in the medium of LEGO. I never fail to find delight in you depictions, despite the fact that I might not quite go along with all your interpretations.

Hey Brendan, Great to see new installments so soon. Canaanite Dogs - I like the building on the right in the first picture quite a lot. What's the bowl on the left in the second picture, by the way. It's nice to see a little bit of landscaping in (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Hi, Bruce. Thanks for the comments on this matter, too. I will probably redo the Acts story as part of my revamp of the New Testament part of the site, and will add the missing panels there as well.
