"Satanás y su obra"

Satanás, ¿Quién es éste personaje? La sociedad ha estereotipado a Satanás, como un ser físicamente horrible, con cuernos y cola, una pata de cabra y otra de caballo, con barba de chivo y olor a azufre. Supongo que el mismísimo Satanás se ríe de esta imagen, ya que en realidad él es hermoso, más bello que cualquiera de nosotros, él fue creado por Dios, la Biblia dice en Ezequiel 28:12-15 e Isaías 14:12-17 que el día de su creación hubo fiesta y gozo en el cielo, tan perfecto era él, que se ensoberbeció pretendiendo ser igual a Dios.

Ese fue su primer pecado y grave error, se constituyó en enemigo de Dios y fue arrojado a la tierra, por ello también se le conoce como el ángel caído. Ahora Satanás el Príncipe de este mundo, y es su deseo que todos estemos con él. Así que al “cuidarnos” de un ser muy feo, es que no percibimos la sutileza de sus astucias para envolvernos suavemente.

Su obra principal: El pecado, este se define como: “Hecho, dicho, deseo, pensamiento u omisión contra la ley divina”, como verbo, prácticamente ha desaparecido del léxico humano, tu solo escuchas hablar de pecado en la Iglesia, difícilmente escuchas esta palabra en la calle, en la escuela o en cualquier otra parte, y por otro lado si llegares a escucharla seguramente es aplicada a un concepto equivocado. He escuchado decir que nada es pecado, que es pecado solo para quien lo considera pecado, y esto debido a que en la sociedad que vivimos las acciones que escandalizaban a nuestros abuelos en el pasado ahora son parte de la “normalidad”.

Por ejemplo, decime, en la TV ¿Cuántos programas hay que enseñen MORALIDAD o RELIGIÓN? ¿O por lo menos normas de conducta ante la sociedad? Lo único que vemos es, un alto contenido de sexo, adulterio, partiendo de los anuncios comerciales, llenos de erotismo y mensajes subliminales, ahora enseñan a los jóvenes que pueden festejar sus logros alcoholizados “siempre y cuando” exista un conductor designado. Enseñan que a través del dinero se obtienen bellas mujeres, así que incitan a jugar lotería, aunque el mensaje no es jugar lotería, sino obtener el dinero fácil, las series televisivas enseñan que la “buena” de la película es la amante y no la esposa, que una joven estudiante de 16 años puede aspirar al “amor” de su profesor, hombre casado con más de 30. ¿Y que me dices de los dibujos animados que ven los niños? Donde están aprendiendo que el “poder y la fuerza” se obtienen de diversas fuentes, menos de Dios.

Dios el Señor todopoderoso no existe en la TV, sin embargo si está subliminalmente repleta de idolatría y fetichismo.

Las revistas y periódicos, ¿qué enseñan?, en gran parte lo mismo, sexo, amor al dinero, droga, ambición de poder, etc. ¿Y que me dicen de la música? Acaso no hacen creer que con una atractiva melodía la dama exclama “Ese hombre es mío, a medias, pero mío” o bien “Eres el hombre perfecto, pero tienes un defecto, eres casado”.

Satanás se ha inmiscuido poderosamente y hábilmente en los medios masivos de comunicación y usted y yo nos hemos convertido en excelentes receptores de todo esto.

¿Qué debemos hacer? ¿Irnos al rincón mas alejado del planeta para huir del pecado? ¿Acaso prohibir a nuestros hijos y familiares que vean la TV? ¿O prohibir que lean periódicos y revistas? ¿pedir que ya no escuchen música mundana? ¿Que no se comuniquen con otras personas a menos que sean Cristianos? ¿Que se alejen de las conversaciones que no son constructivas? ¿Que demos vuelta la cara o la espalda a todo el mundo? Todo esto ¿Acaso lo haces tu mismo?.

¡No, esa no es la solución!, tu no puede evitar vivir en el mundo, Jesús clamando al Padre por nosotros dijo “No te pido que los quites del mundo sino que los guardes del mal” (Juan 17:15). Lo que debemos hacer es aprender y practicar la conducta y actitudes correctas delante de Dios (Proverbios 3:1-3), debemos aprender a amar por sobre todas las cosas al Dios Verdadero (Deuteronomio 6:4-5), debemos aprender y entender que solo podemos triunfar si dependemos exclusivamente de Dios, a fiar en Dios (Isaías 26:4) a dejarnos guiar por El. Aprender a resistir con los aprestos de la fe y con la Palabra de Dios los embates de Satanás para salir victoriosos (Efesios 6:12-17).

Dado que el pecado es sutil y agradable a nuestros ojos y sentidos ¿cómo pues, estar dispuestos a llevar a la práctica lo anterior?. ¿Cómo estar permanentemente conscientes de las asechanzas del Diablo, y de nuestra necesidad de permanecer en Dios?. Esto solo es posible si de verdad amamos a Dios; ya que solo así existirá el deseo sincero de crecer en Él (1 Pedro 2:1-3)

Si decidimos seguir a Cristo, estemos conscientes que no es fácil nuestra vida en esta sociedad donde reina Satán, a quien Jesús llama el príncipe de este mundo (Juan 13:30). Todos aquellos que caigan en manos de Satanás van a sufrir eternamente en el lago que arde con fuego y azufre. NO LO DIGO YO, LO AFIRMA 👉🏻 Apocalipsis 20:10 y 21:8.

No perdamos de vista que nuestro paso por la vida es corto y efímero. Los verdaderos valores están en la eternidad donde al Cristiano le espera Justicia, Gozo y Paz, ya que: cosa que ojo no vio, ni oído oyó, ni han subido a corazón del hombre, son las que Dios tiene preparado para los que le aman (1 Corintios 2:9-12).

Satanás no descansa, trabaja 24 horas al día, ahora mismo él está trabajando ahí alado tuyo, te quiere para él. Así que estemos alertas, firmes y sin fluctuar en nuestra fe, sabemos muy bien en quien hemos confiado, quien nos dará la Victoria y nos llevará a la eternidad juntamente con ÉL a vivir una vida plena en armonia y dicha eterna.

Dios te Bendiga! Esperando ser de Bendición para vos en medio de un mundo lleno de maldad y depravaciones que no agrado de Dios.

🌺Lucii "Su GRACIA y AMOR son SUBLIME"

watching as far back as 2005 starts to get weird when it is mentioned that juan pablo montoya, who is leading the race, brought his son sebastian on his first f1 outing

(also I find it hilarious for the child of a mclaren driver to be using a maclaren buggy)

#Mateo 9; 14 – 17 #En aquel tiempo #los discípulos de Juan fueron a ver a JESÚS y le preguntaron: ¿Por qué tus discípulos no ayunan #mientras que nosotros y los fariseos si ayunamos? JESÚS les replicó: “¿Cómo pueden llevar luto los amigos del esposo #mientras le esta con ellos? Pero ya vendrán días en que le quitaran al esposo #entonces ayunarán.#Nadie remienda un vestido nuevo con un parche de tela nueva #porque el remiendo nuevo se encoje #rompe la tela vieja y así hace mas grande la rotura. Nadie echa el vino nuevo en odres viejos #porque los odres se rajan #se tira el vino y se echa a perder los odres. El vino nuevo se echa en odres nuevos y así las dos cosas se conservan”.#Palabra de DIOS #gloria a ti SEÑOR JESÚS.

Porque la Ley fue dada por medio de Moisés; la gracia y la verdad nos han llegado por Jesucristo. (Juan 1:17)

La ley que Dios envió por medio de Moisés nunca tuvo como propósito la salvación eterna del ser humano. Esta ley no fue una equivocación, solamente fue una añadidura, dice Pablo, hasta que viniese la simiente que es Cristo.

La Nueva Economía del Señor Jesús, o sea: la gracia y la verdad sí ofrece la comunión permanente con el Creador.

Es que Dios nos creó para que pudiéramos tener comunión con Él permanentemente, es el propósito principal de nuestra existencia, y es posible solamente a través del Señor Jesús, la Palabra.

Paz a usted y su casa.

What did Andrew Lloyd Webber do to make Patti Lupone upset? Sorry, saw your tags and i was curious

Oh.

Oh honey.

You sweet child.

Anyway, get ready for one of the most infamous showdowns in all musical theatre history, with the guy who writes the straightest musicals on Broadway (derogatory) and the one and only, the matriarch, the queen, two three-time Tony award winner Patti LuPone.

So, Andrew Lloyd Webber was basically kind of a boy genius in his prime - he met his future collaborator Tim Rice when they were 17 and 20 respectively, he wrote his first big hit, Jesus Christ Superstar, at 22, with Tim Rice writing the lyrics. And it was kind of a big deal at the time because the topic was controversial (you know, the Passion with rock music), but also because Broadway wasn't that far off from its golden age and let's just say the music and style were very different from, say, My Fair Lady. Or The Sound of Music. Or Funny Girl. It was basically the Rent/Hamilton of its time. (Yeah, Stephen Sondheim was around at that time, he worked on West Side Story which was revolutionary in of itself, but he's kind of an oddball in this case. You'll understand why later.)

Their real follow up (I'm not counting Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for a variety of reasons) was a little musical called Evita, which you might know mainly because of a song called Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Or at least, your mom has probably heard it once at the very least. It's that song that's oversung from a musical while being out of context along with I Dreamed a Dream for Les Misérables. Or Memory from Cats.

youtube

Evita tells the story of Eva Peron, the wife of an Argentinian dictator, who basically screws her way to the top and ends up becoming the mistress of Juan Peron and the most beloved woman in her country through guile and deceit. Yes, I know the historical accuracy is very much debated but I know jackshit about Argentina's history except the bare basics so don't come at me. It was first produced in the West End in London, with Elaine Paige in the role, but because of Equity issues, she couldn't reprise her role for the Broadway production. So a Julliard graduate who was mostly starring in David Mamet plays got the part instead, and that was Patti LuPone.

Patti... did not have a good time during Evita, because the part is basically the kind of score where you can tell the composer is used to writing male parts, but most female singers have a two-octave range (yes, you got Julie Andrews who used to have a three-octave range, and many others, but they're exceptions), so she struggled a lot. That being said, if you listen to live recordings of her, you wouldn't be able to tell, and it got a lot easier later on. But she had this to say:

"Evita was the worst experience of my life. I was screaming my way through a part that could only have been written by a man who hates women. And I had no support from the producers, who wanted a star performance onstage but treated me as an unknown backstage. It was like Beirut, and I fought like a banshee."

This is from Patti's autobiography, which she wrote in 2007 - 8 years after shit with ALW went down. With all that said, she won a Tony Award for Evita, and she pretty much became a musical theatre household name from then on. She played Fantine in Les Misérables, Nancy in Oliver!, Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes. Meanwhile, ALW's next big hits were Cats (I'm not even kidding, Cats was a hit), and, you guessed it, The Phantom of the Opera, which he wrote in part to showcase his then wife Sarah Brightman's triple threat talents.

So, you need to understand before I continue that ALW, from my perspective, has always had a bit of an inferiority complex. He's basically associated to writing these commercially successful musicals that show a big spectacle but aren't ultimately substantial. I'm not sure I entirely agree with that, but I do think that if he didn't have Hal Prince, Maria Bjornson, Charles Hart and Gillian Lynne backing him up for Phantom, it would have probably been a Rocky Horror Picture Show knockoff people would have forgotten about pretty quickly. This is what I mean:

youtube

Yep, that was Phantom before any of the people I mentioned above (and Michael Crawford) were really involved.

Remember how I said Stephen Sondheim was an oddball? The thing with him is that his musicals weren't always commercially successful, but in general, in part thanks to being Leonard Bernstein's protégé, he was generally pretty well-respected and it was considered that his work was bringing musicals to a whole other level. Without Sondheim, you wouldn't have Jonathan Larson, and you wouldn't have Lin-Manuel Miranda. I am convinced ALW is resentful of that, and when you stop and think about it for more than 10 seconds, it's so obvious he REALLY wants to be Sondheim or at least command the same level of respect, but that's a story for another day.

So, after Phantom, ALW had other musicals that followed that either got a meh reception or outright flopped. Then there was Sunset Boulevard, which is based on the movie of the same name with Gloria Swanson. Despite all of her griefs for Evita, Patti LuPone agreed to partake in the musical as Norma Desmond, for its production in London, with the promise that she would transfer to Broadway once that production would open. And overall, after a string of flops, Sunset was actually doing pretty well.

HOWEVER. One day, while reading the gossip column of a newspaper, Patti found out that contrary to what she was promised, Glenn Close, who was meanwhile starring as Norma in the Los Angeles production, was to play Norma on Broadway. That was a complete surprise for her since no one on the production team had bothered to tell her it was happening - and keep in mind that for the news to come up the way it did in a gossip column, it probably would have necessitated a delay of a few weeks between the producers and the newspaper, which would have given them plenty of time to break the news to Patti. And Patti kind of needed the leg up because she was pretty bitter that a) Madonna was cast in the Evita adaptation instead of her; b) they actually lowered the key to fit Madonna's voice range, and she still had to expand her own to be able to sing the (lowered) score. And trust me, Patti is mad about it to this day.

So of course, she trashed her dressing room, the cast and crew weren't even mad about it because they were as shocked and angered as she was by the news. Patti sued Andrew Lloyd Webber for breach of contract, namely for 1 MILLION DOLLARS (yup, those are the real numbers), won, used the money she got from the lawsuit to get a swimming pool, which she called (and I SHIT YOU NOT) the Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial Pool. Since then, Webber is dead to her, to the point rumor has it she had part of a building blocked during an event so she could get out of it without coming across Webber, because she hates him so flipping much she doesn't even want to be in the same building as the guy.

(There's also drama that happened with Faye Dunaway who was supposed to replace Glenn Close after she went from Los Angeles to Broadway, except they abruptly closed the show down after Close left, but that's a story for another day)

So with all the bad press, and with ALW forced to pay 1 million dollars for Patti's lawsuit, that led Sunset's productions to close earlier than expected. ALW has stayed around since, with... mitigated output, so to say. The lowest point for a lot of people is Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom, which some people love, and that's fine, but it didn't do well with either critics nor fans of the original show, which ALW is EXTREMELY BUTTHURT ABOUT. And like, there are so many stories I could tell about LND alone, but I will share my own crack theory about it, since it does relate to the ask.

Anyway, buckle up.

So. There have been jokes going around for years that the Phantom in LND is basically ALW's self-insert, where he displays to the world that he's totally not over Sarah Brightman leaving him (in part because making Phantom kinda ruined their marriage lmao), despite, you know, having married since. (Aaaaaakward.) So LND basically becomes this really uncomfortable therapy session where a man writes a self-insert musical about how his ex-wife made a big mistake of leaving a sensitive artistic soul such as himself. The characters from Phantom who appear in LND are all more or less unrecognizable as a result, and one who gets it worse (in my humble opinion) is Meg Giry, who was basically Christine's sweet and loyal ballerina friend who basically went into the Phantom's lair on her own to save her friend despite the danger. In LND, she's basically a bitter hag (because ALW hates women, guess Patti was right about that), who really likes the swim and even has a stripping vaudeville number about it, written in universe by the Phantom, no less.

For comparison, here's Don Juan Triumphant (the Phantom's opera in the original):

youtube

And here's Bathing Beauty (the vaudeville number):

youtube

Yeah, so... do you see why people hate LND already?

And that's not the only thing with Meg! She's also pining for the Phantom to pay attention to her and threatens to drown the Phantom and Christine's secret love child when he makes it clear that he's gonna love Christine for EVA AND EVA.

So, with everything we learned today about ALW, would someone like him view someone like Patti LuPone as some sort of crazy, bitter diva who's obsessed with him for whatever reason? Absolutely. Would he be petty enough to insert Patti LuPone into his self-insert musical, which gave us the version of Meg Giry we got in LND? Of course. Why does Meg love to swim so much and why does she drag Gustave out ostensibly for a swim? Is it a dig at Patti's Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial Pool? Maybe.

I kind of hope we find out one day if that theory is true. And maybe start a kickstarter so Patti can add this painting from the 2004 movie in her collection.

Fun fact: during the process of casting for the 2004 movie adaptation of POTO, ALW allegedly suggested Patti LuPone to play Carlotta... only for Joel Schumacher to have to awkwardly remind him that they were not on speaking terms. The idea was therefore promptly dropped.
