I spy upon the Earth the reverberating
Circle--- There are Christians who lose their faith over
A small detail wrong in our Holy Text. I say
God doesn’t care about small details. Just the big
Picture. Yet, with this there is an end to wisdom
When the zealot, clinging to his faith, seeks scripture
And sees the most minute detail wrong; “An Error!”
And then the Atheist says, “See! If thou cannot
“Trust God to make the Bible all inerrant, then thou
“Canst trust a word the Bible doth say? Canst thou, now?
“For if the Bible be inspired by God, how
“I say to you, can you believe anything it
“Says, if I find this little, innocuous thing?”
I say, one ought to know God, and it won’t be a
Problem. For, if one communes with God, God’s love will
Show one the fact that our Bible is not a god
Nor is it God’s flesh, nor is it God’s power. Words
It is, transcribed by prophets, written by Jesus.
But it is not the object of our faith. So what
Kierkegaard says, that faith is more important than
The object of faith, which for many Christians is
The Bible. How do we know it is true? Because
It speaks independent truths which man can find on
Their own, yet no man, save God, was aught wise enough
To find aught morsel of Wisdom’s objective truths.
I spy upon the Earth the reverberating
Circle--- There are Heathens who find god’s Paraclete
And they believe they have found full revelation.
Knowing power, they find themselves descending deep
Into the recesses of dark idolatry.
For, knowing power, they know not whether it be
Darkness or light--- This is why one must couple truth
And power--- for if they’re found independently
Christians find all wisdom---to which there is an end;
And wisdom not knowing God or tasting power
Is as dangerous as Heathens tapping into it
Like a thief. For knowing the Bible without first
Knowing God denies the power and existence
Of God. Yet knowing God exists, finding power,
Is to know God, without washing in His clean blood.
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.
