There are words in the English Language
Which are taboo.
Christians ought to avoid those words.
However, when dealing with Genocide
Ought I refrain from saying "Shit"?
When appraising Jesus' situation
They believed he was a Bastard.
I do not know the other instances where I cussed.
However, I am not a Christian author.
I am a secular author
Dealing with Christian themes.
I write Science Fiction and Fantasy.
I am a prophet like Jane Austen or Leo Tolstoy---
Or John Bunyan or C. S. Lewis.
Christians, I do not expect you to understand my role.
There is just a place for my writing and my ministry;
Some people need hard answers.
And I provide them.
I do not say you ought to emulate me.
Please do not.
Rather, just understand me as a writer.
I’m a Christian---
I’m a Prophet---
However, some prophets
Have a mission which secludes them from ministry.
I have a criminal record,
So I cannot be a pastor.
Rather, I am an evangelist
And you’ll find I bring many to Christ.
I’m an enigma;
I draw people in with my words
And they become chastened.
For I live an example of a chaste life;
And my chastity is my ministry.
My words are merely intellectual things
Meant to answer burning questions;---
Do not place me in Christian literature.
Do not call me a Christian Author.
Rather, call me an Author;
Call me a Christian.
I do not want you emulating me.
Rather, I have a ministry to those like me;
And there are many more than you’d like to know.
And those, I will leave bread crumbs to the LORD’s house.
You shall take them, when I am finished with them.
Rather, I’m an ecclesiastical leap.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
