Religious or Realist?

Love is invisible but it's so REAL.


Poem Artwork

 I am not religious. I am a realist.

A religious person follows rules governed by a institutional (church) body.

I follow the Bible and the laws of the Ten Commandments.

These laws were made with love to protect us all

One Commandments says we should not kill one another

For we were made to love each other and love our Maker

A person may help others to get well; which is very good.

That same person may promote the killing of innocent babies

Let's get real. That person is a hypocrite.

Today, we have much time to search our souls

We have time to get right with our Maker

We may never get a time-out like this again

So let's get real. Our eternity can be lovely or dark and dim...

Love is invisible but it's real, my friends. 

My love and Blessings to all.

Amen X 110!

I THINK THE WORD WE'RE LOOKING FOR HERE IS BORN-AGAIN/CONVERTED...REALIST. BECAUSE ONE CAN BE A CARNAL/WORLDLY REALIST WHICH IS FAR FROM FOLLOWING GOD. SO THEN, BEING A 'CONVERTED' REALIST IS HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST THAT IS MORE THAN...CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY, BUT IS A RELATIONSHIP THAT'S CHURCH...EVERY DAY. NOT TO SAY THAT THOSE WHO GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY ARE HIPPOCRITES BUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS ...EVERYDAY, NOT JUST ON SUNDAY. THAT SAID, I AM A CONVERTED REALIST...PRESSING-ON, IN THE NAME OF JESUS! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Love is invisible but its the most tangible of emotions,

For John Michael Domino:
Love your poem, and you are so right!

When you read the Bible, you soon learn it's more than just laws. It's really all about Love. Love of God, and others. Christianity is just that simple! God loves each of us profoundly and unconditionally--but many are unaware of that Love. The laws in the Bible are so clear, and when you believe what is written there, you want to follow God's laws. You naturally want to do what is good and right and true. You do indeed become a realist, with God's truth at the helm. However, religion is helpful in helping us to live a faith-filled life, by surrounding oneself with a believing community.Then we can extend far beyond just believers, and reach out to others in a godly way.

As for eternity, I shudder to think what happens to proponents of the abortion industry--especially our leaders-- destroying God's latest and greatest creations. Only God knows what happens to those who have worked to kill a full generation of holy, innocent babies, God's latest and greatest creations. 64 million babies have been aborted since 1973 when Roe vs Wade came into being. I think it is very interesting that the NY Governor was the first to work to tragically legalize abortion up until birth, and even lit up the World Trade Center to celebrate that heinous new law. And here we are with the coronavirus...Could it be that NY is the epi-center of Covid-19 for a reason, because of that decision? No one knows. But it is possible...

Keep writing!
Adele

You left me with that always thought in my mind. Why God is always on the side of the army that kills with indiscretion. If God is love and thou shalt not kill, why are we now able to kill selectively from robot drones without having to face any peril and to limit "collateral damage?"

Like the alpha wolf who looks down on the flock and decides which one his pack will kill in order to live until they are hungry again, nature shows us that some killing is necessary. Thou shall not kill leads to conflict in the mind that kills. Simply called PTSD.
