02/23/18 DISTORTED LENSES
I usually review my videos before I post them to the public (of course LIVE presentations are a different matter). As I reviewed my KAYAKING video yesterday I thought about how confusing the video portion could be for someone.
The front facing camera on an ANDROID shows a mirror image, while the back camera on an Android shows a true-to-life image (IPHONE shows a correct view in both cameras). When I give a description of the area using the back camera then everything appears to be aligned, as if you were standing with me at that location. But when I am using the front camera and I point left, it is actually to my right. Words will be in reverse order in the Android "selfie mode."
This does not matter, for the most part. HOWEVER, when I show an area with the back camera and then switch to the front camera, everything gets reversed. One camera puts the sailboat on the left and the fishing vessel on the right, then right after that scene the other cameral puts the same sailboat on the right and the fishing vessel on the left. I imagine there are folks who see it and wonder what is wrong. They may not even realize what contradiction they are seeing, but they know something is not right.
SAME-O SAME-O with the Scriptures and the Christian life. Viewed through the wrong lense things can appear to be contradictory or nonsensical. This is why we need to have a solid understanding of the Bible and why we need to not listen to those who disbelieve the Bible.
I just saw this demonstrated on the HUFFINGTON POST. The Liberal media speaks with "great authority" about issues that they completely misunderstand. This is true with Liberalism at large. Liberalism (among the many errant views concerning the Holy Bible and Salvation) sees through a mirror lense, giving them a distorted view of life. People who see things reversed and inverted, mistakenly see the false view of Liberalism to be incontrovertible and obvious. This can be true for those who view the word of God through any lense, other than the enlightening work of the Holy Spirit.
In these last days, be sure to find a strong Bible teaching church and pastor, otherwise a distorted view of God and His word will lead you in the wrong direction.
