I'm too narrow minded, and I'd be better toned down, but I'll never succumb to, agreeing with the lie, no I'd rather tell them the, plain, truth than to let them, stay lost and die.

                        No Wonder.


 
Other, peoples faith is their business, let's not rock their, esoteric, boat.
We have eternal life, who cares if their's don't float.



 Not only do they, have the right, to believe,
 any lie, they choose.


But don't dare tell them anything, of the straight and narrow. 
Bout Jesus, and His, good news.

Cause, it's not your place to give a damn,
whether they, live or die.


All that really matters, for you and I, is:
to not look, right or left, as we pass them by. 
And definately don't offend them, with the Truth vs their lie, no just be nice, not blunt, and don't even try.


To take away their, "road to death" lie; that will send them, straight to hell: eternal tears,
they'll, forever, cry

Not only that, but it's ok, and proper,
can't you see?
That we should, rather, tell them that they're right,
it's fine, and way more polite, with them,
to agree. .


Cause better to let them spin around, on this fable or, that.
To say they might be, God, and for the ancients they intercede, but, for Jesus, to save them, there's, really, 
no need.

Than to rashly, warn, them of their, fate, if on Him they don't believe.

Oh, what a lot lof garbage, oh, what a lot of tripe! you better, re-read your bible, cause the time is getting ripe.


Our mouths are to be proclaiming:
the truth and all it's grace,
not agreeing with the tragic errors,
of a doomed,
human race. 


 


And if it sounds harsh, and,
disrespectful, too, It's way better,
than telling them that, they're right on the money;
as you'd have me do.


Cause harsh, aint near, a harsh enough word, to describe,
what  without, Him , will:
ultimately, take shape.
When they end up in hell,  for the rest of time,
with no way,
to escape.

I should have been more specific as to who this aimed at, not the lost, but the ones who claim Him yet don't stand for anything.

We're just hobos telling other hobos of a fantastic place to eat. The Holy Spirit does the convicting and the drawing. We're called to proclaim The Good News, that Whosoever Will, may. Hell is a harsh reality, but we must respect one's choice to choose his own destiny. May the Lord use you mightily, as you seek to share His matchless love with others.

You are not narrow minded, you are speaking your heart.
You care, thats all thats important.
You feel moved by spirit to speak your mind.
I believe people find different avenues and sources to reach a divine spirit. And if it helps them to live as good people on this earth, and do no harm, then I consider that a blessing. I am a christian, and I respect many religions, and find so many fastinating. I think theology is amazing, and how christianity and its ceremony evolved.
I think God is awsome, and no one can trivalizie Christ.

Art, this is a strong statement, from a warrior convicted.

I believe that you summed it up quite eloquently in your line: "Our mouths are to be proclaiming the Truth and all its grace."

The only thing that I would have changed in that line is: The Truth and all "His" grace. Which would lend itself nicely to our responsibilities.

How much less are we supposed to be gracious and full of grace in the sharing of His Truth.

After all . . . if someone walks away offended instead of being edified and curious, then we have failed. This takes a great amount of wisdom to accomplish!
