Genesis (Old Testament begins)
So, Genesis is a collection of stories, from the Patriarchal line, of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It details things like the Creation of the World, and gives several Allegorical reflections, through the lens of History. Not much unlike Plutarch or Herodotus would. It’s the tradition, handed down through the Patriarchs of the Hebrews, when they made their migrations from Mesopotamia and then into Egypt. Featured in this book are Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
Exodus
Exodus is probably the second most famous book of the Old Testament, next to Genesis. It’s the story of Moses. Basically, the giving of the Law, the diaspora out of Egypt and into the Wilderness. The reason why they had to spend 40 years wandering the desert, all culminating into the birth of the Nation of Israel.
Leviticus
Is a book of Law. Basically, it’s all the law of the Old Testament. What the Jews followed. It finds roots in Abraham’s system, handed down to Hammurabi, which is why you find parallels in Old Amorite Law of the same thing as the Bible. Because Abraham was an Amorite, and that law was handed down to Moses through manuscripts probably written by Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Joseph.
Numbers
Numbers is a list of numbers, of the tribes, and various genealogies. It’s really the most boring book of the Bible, but it has some high moments, like Korah and Balaam. Some stories are in here, but not very many, and I’d recommend most people shy away from Numbers altogether, unless you’re a very serious Bible Student already and know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. It can lead to nasty habits like Divination, as you might think the throwing of lots is still a thing—it’s not. It’s a very very boring book. Probably one of the most boring things to read in history, and I’d recommend avoiding it, until you’re no longer even intermediate. It also has some of the Jewish laws regarding the tabernacle.
Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy is a book like Leviticus. It has the same laws, found in the end of Exodus, and the same ones in Leviticus—Exodus also has some of the Hebraic law, too, which I forgot to mention. It’s more advanced than Leviticus, and probably like all parts of the Bible, it’s repeated through multiple attestations of witnesses, and written records. Which is why everything in the Bible seems to be repeated more than once, it’s because it’s being compiled by two or more sources each, to create a testimony based on multiple witnesses.
Joshua
Joshua was the person after Moses, given command to lead the nation. It’s a story of the wars of Canaan and the justification of the battles, which is that Canaan was sinning and they did all sorts of wicked crimes imaginable. So, Joshua was given directive to conquer the land of Canaan, and give it to the Israelites. Not because of their righteousness, but because of the lands wickedness, so it says in Deuteronomy. Jericho is in this book.
Judges
Is the story of the line of Judges—basically warrior kings who restored order in the land. Israel was called to live only by the Law, and that was their only law. And they had judges who executed the law, and delivered them from their enemies. Gideon and Samson are in this book.
Ruth
Is about the woman Ruth—David's grandmother—and how she fell in love with Boaz, and married him, and basically was made into his wife through a beautiful story. And this shows that a person of a race that isn't necessarily of the law, if they give up their heritage, are grafted into the Nation of Israel completely, like they never were anything but an Israelite totally.
1 Samuel
This follows the Prophet Samuel who picks Saul as king. And 1 Samuel is Saul's story.
2 Samuel
This follows the Prophet Samuel who picks David as King, and David's exploits, which Saul was not a good authority, so he lost it, and was given his kingdom to David. And then David's various sins.
1 Kings
This deals with a block of Jewish history.
2 Kings
This deals with the latter block of Jewish History.
1 Chronicles
This deals with the whole of Jewish History, the first part.
2 Chronicles
This deals with the whole of Jewish History the second part. As a note both books of Chronicles are repetitions of the stories in the books of Samuel and Kings.
Ezra
Ezra is the history after the Captivity to Babylon.
Nehemiah
Is also the history after the Captivity to Babylon.
Esther
Is a history of the Jews in Babylon, and how Mordicai saved them from being utterly destroyed, through his adopted Daughter Esther.
Job
Is probably the third most famous book in the Bible. It's the book where God brings disaster on a man, who's faithful, and the man has to patiently endure it. It's a dialogue on the Theodicy. Basically, God's God, and Job has to trust in His righteousness alone to deliver him, not Job's righteousness.
Psalms (The middle of the Bible*)
This is a book of hymns sung by the Psalters of the Jewish People. Very popular among Christians. And also full of prophecies about prosperity and righteousness.
Proverbs
Is wisdom literature, giving a bunch of aphoristic sayings that are compiled in an order, to create a theme. Some of the most profound literature in history, is found here.
Ecclesiastes
This is everyone's favorite book outside of the Gospels. It's just a wisdom literature, reversing wisdom, and seeing what's actually purposeful in this life. And it gives a VERY good answer.
Song of Solomon
A book of wisdom on the passion of love, and God's relationship with the Church. Basically, the Shulamite has to choose the Shepherd over Solomon and his gold, And the Shepherd has to come and basically take her away from Solomon's harem. It's basically the plot point of every lifetime movie. The snarky, rich jerk gets put aside for the woman's true love, who is the provincial farm boy who actually can care about her. And the two must spar for her hand.
Isaiah
This gets into the most important part of the Bible. The prophecies. Isaiah is a description of Prophecies regarding fighting back, even though you've sinned. Assyria has captured the Northern kingdom of Israel—both kingdoms split after Solomon, with Rehoboam, and so the Northern Kingdom was conquered by Assyria, due to its sin, and Hezekiah had a revival of the Israelite People's faith, and restored the kingdom to faith so it was saved from disaster.
Jeremiah
Is a little different. Judah is going into captivity, but Jeremiah is pleading with it so it won't. Another good example of the Theodicy, is a good man having misfortune because of a bad culture. Jeremiah has a horrible life, and is thrown in prison, and taken against his will to do what God explicitly forbade him to do. And Jeremiah is a victim of a cruel culture, which ultimately catalyzes in Jerusalem's fall.
Lamentations
A prophecy of the fall of Jerusalem, and a lamentation about sin.
Ezekiel
Like Jeremiah, Ezekiel is prophesying the fall of Jerusalem, and is prophesying the horrid things that will happen to it. It's already going to be destroyed, and he's telling the people who were taken to Babylon to not look back, but to look forward and make their lives in Babylon because they aren't going back to Jerusalem. But a remnant will be restored, and brought back to Jerusalem, at the end.
Daniel
Daniel is probably one of the most important books of the Bible. It has a ton of End Days Prophecies, and it gets into all the most important stuff. Also Shadrach Meshack and Abedinigo are here, and so is the story of Daniel and the Lion's den. Basically, Daniel is made Satrap because of his righteousness, and it's a story telling us how we're to gain our possession of life, in an unrighteous society, which is not budging on the truth.
Hosea
Talks about the Christian's walk. You either walk as Judah, Israel or Ephraim, and it's a pattern of the Christian's walk, and redemption. It's an allegory through prophecy of the trial of a Christian.
Joel
Joel talks about the ministry of the Two Olives in Revelation, and the War of Armageddon.
Amos
Is a prophecy detailing the sins of all the nations, that leads Babylon to Conquer it.
Obadiah
Is a short prophecy about Edom, which is a principality against Israel. It comes from Jacob's Brother Ishmael, and how they persecuted Israel during their captivity, and this will lead to their destruction. It's probably about Abaddon.
Jonah
Probably the fourth most famous book in the Old Testament, is Jonah, which is just a book about Jonah's prophecy to Nineveh, which caused it to be restored and Jonah was quite mad about this, actually. But, he prophesied, and Nineveh wasn't destroyed through his prophecies. I'm sure God rewarded him after his temper tantrum. He was a reluctant prophet, showing the compulsion of prophecy, that if you have a prophetic burden, God will cause you no matter what to fulfill it. NO MATTER WHAT. God will cause you to fulfill your prophetic ministry if you have one.
Micah
Is about the prophets of the End Days, the two Olive Trees, and their ministry.
Nahum
Is about one of the three end days figures.
Habakkuk
Habakkuk is too.
Zephaniah
So is Zephaniah.
Haggai
Is about rebuilding the temple, and about doing what's right, and restoring the temple to its former condition, after the captivity.
Zechariah
Is an end days prophecy concerning the War of Armageddon and various curses that will happen, and also various blessings.
Malachi
Is about another of the two Olive Trees.
Matthew (New Testament begins)
Matthew is the first book of the New Testament, and is about The Ministry of Jesus, in the framework of a Jewish Messiah.
Mark
Is another Gospel, about the Works of Jesus, and how good He is. Mark is snappy, phenomenal, and is one of my absolute favorite, if not my all time favorite, book of the Bible. It's just the Gospel in the most simple, and concise, and action packed way possible.
Luke
Is another Gospel, about the Messiah Jesus and His Ministry in the framework of a Savior of the Gentiles.
John
Is a book of Jesus' secret teachings, and His most in depth, and most esoteric sayings, that only John records, but this is probably the most important Gospel of them all, as it tells you, explicitly, salvation is in faith alone, through Christ's work, and the one who Believes on Jesus, that is the one who is saved.
Acts
Is about the Apostles—only some of them, as many of them don't make an appearance—and their ministry throughout the world. And this is where Paul gets introduced. Paul is the replacement of Judas Iscariot. And Paul has a ministry to the Gentiles, and you see Peter, Paul and James' ministry, as well as some of the others.
Romans
Is about the way Salvation works. And some of the Laws not taught in the Gospels, it's found in Romans. It's basically the method by which you're saved, which is much of Paul's writings, is telling you about how salvation works.
1 Corinthians
Is a diatribe against sin in the church, and how we're not to be sinners, or do unlawful deeds. And also how grace works.
2 Corinthians
Is a follow up, where Paul talks more about how grace works, and admonishes the church for its excesses and its lascivious lifestyle.
Galatians
Is a polemic against the Jewish Law. We're no longer to follow it. At all. Like, all those books of Moses, those are good stories, but our primary Law is found in the Gospel. Nowhere else.
Ephesians
Is a work telling you how Grace Works, and God's election. And also commends you to put on Christ, and defeat the world.
Philippians
Is a book exhorting you to a life of godliness, and good works and charity, while distinguishing you to do what's right. This is probably the one book I've studied least, actually, as I drew a blank with it.
Colossians
Is a book that tells you not to obey the Hebraic laws, again. It tells you explicitly that the Gospel is in Christ Jesus, and the Law in the New Testament alone.
1 Thessalonians
Is talking to the church in Thessalonians, and it's talking about living righteously, and faith.
2 Thessalonians
Is talking about the life of a Believer, and how to identify the Antichrist when he comes.
1 Timothy
Is a book exhorting Pastoral Care, and giving teachings to Ministry, and teaching Church Organization.
2 Timothy
Is another book exhorting Pastoral Care, and giving teachings to ministry, and teaching Church Organization.
Titus
Is another book exhorting Pastoral Care, and giving teachings to ministry, and teaching Church Organization.
Philemon
Is a master class on the Gospel. It tells us how to break the law in love, in order to exhort our fellow members of Christ, and do what's good in mercy.
Hebrews
Is a way of explaining the how the Law prophesied Christ, and gives very unique pictures of how the Old Testament foreshadowed Christ's coming and His work of Salvation, throughout the whole Hebrew Law.
James
Is a book of wisdom, teaching you righteous living.
1 Peter
Is the teachings of Peter, exhorting you to a life of righteousness.
2 Peter
Is another book teaching you righteousness, but he deals with the end days, and makes many prophecies concerning Antichrist in this book.
1 John
Is an exhortation of Christian love and charity, and how we're to work works of righteousness in Christ, and love our brother, and it also teaches us how to identify Antichrist when he comes.
2 John
Is a short exhortation to righteousness.
3 John
Is an exhortation to a good man, to have godly prosperity.
Jude
Is one of the most esoteric books in the Bible, but it deals primarily with living righteously, and letting go of all sin, how faith cannot be mixed with unrighteousness or the fruits of ungodliness.
Revelation
Is a prophecy of John's, dealing with the entire mode of the End Days, which will follow in chronological order of the events it describes. So, it's basically a chronology of the sufferings of this world, created by Antichrist in order to destroy the world, and it's the testing of the Elect's salvation and fruits.

A Prayer
Bear with me in my foolishness,
That we may find what is my sin.
I am poor, so therefore live with my brother
According to the ordinance of Leviticus 25.
I have worked the hours of a day laborer
These past ten years, but have not been recompensed for my labor.
I cry out for my labors, yet the peoples say, “He is prophesying for gain!”
I prophesy because of the labors stolen from many of the poor of my people
Who go about their tasks, but become too meek to make meat
For none will take them into their homes.
In fact, even brothers, when they see the poor are struggling
Conspire together to cast him from his home
And band together to seek his life, and to throw his soul into prison.
Yet, the people say, “The prophet preaches for gain.”
If I do, then the gain is only for you;
Do I have need of riches in great abundance?
For I want the poor to be upheld on this earth
And to eat, and drink, and be satisfied with good.
The people say,
“The prophet preached his good works
“And has given a publishing of the free will offerings.”
Have I? I have compared myself to you. Yes.
Perhaps I am a hypocrite.
I lay this to bear, that perhaps I am,
Having suffered much for the Christ
And spoken with the Apostles
And also with the Prophets.
Have I suffered like Paul?
Was I scourged? Was I cast into prison?
No, but all I love have stopped their ears from listening to my mourning
And have plotted to throw my soul into prison.
I feared continually, every day, that I would be cast onto the street, to be a vagabond,
Where I will certainly perish and die, for I am meek.
I have none to uphold me, except men who have despised my soul.
This is not the suffering of Paul, it is correct.
Rather, those I have loved and trusted have despised me;
And what I would have to liberate me from this strife
Those who despise me more and more would not liberate my sustenance from the hand of thieves.
I have been under investigation for a word;
I have been spied on for a word
And every word has been taken into account
Even my secret prayers.
They come to pass, and I say, “Who, who has done this?
“Is it not the LORD?”
And I wonder at the deep revelation that this is.
Yet, my wages are not liberated.
And war will not liberate them.
Rather, who is it that will liberate my wages from those who have robbed me?
Have I taken a loan on usury? Is this why I am being robbed?
Is there any way in which I have committed a fraud?
No more than they do who call themselves “Prudent.”
I say this, “Where is my wage? Why am I still under my brother’s roof?
“I have worked my day labor. I have given myself to work and labor,
“But now I am too wearied, and all my clothings are rags
“And I cannot but sleep, for I have no task throughout the day.
“I cannot dig, but I can offer counsel and aid to the poor.
“Where is my wage? Where is my price?
“I will use it unjustly?—is this why they try to devour my sustenance?
“Must I be with those who have despised my soul?”
The LORD said unto me,
“Do not worry, for I shall bring you the sustenance you desire
“And you will not fear the Heathen who tormented you any longer.”
I say to myself, “It will not be. Will not my soul be among the jackals,
“And my heart among the thorns forever?”
The LORD says, “Oh ye of little faith, believe, and it will be established.
“For your word is Mine, and I shall establish it in its time, will you not see it?”
I then say to the LORD, “Yes LORD, You will establish my work, but how long?”
The LORD says, “No longer will you be called despised, for the LORD has worked
“A work, and has validated your fears for the nations to tremble.
“For you have not prophesied in vain, but have established your word
“As a judgment against the nations; ask and it shall be granted.”
I would not be fearful, but would ask this,
“Let the maid give birth, and let the Assyrian be broken in this land.
“Let the thorns grow up, but Milk and Honey be eaten by your servants the Prophets
“And Apostles, those who were not hypocrites.
“Give them the desires of their heart, which is food and sustenance,
“And satisfaction with offspring, and let us feed on milk and honey
“For our lives,—and the safety our souls with good.”
The LORD says, “One more thing you must ask.”
“Then LORD, let me have the desires of my heart
“To establish Your Word throughout all generations,
“And do not cast my soul into eternal torments,
“But give me everlasting life in your Kingdom. Amen.”
Two Men
There were two men.
The first, a lot of what he predicted was wrong
But he did what God told him to do.
He’d say, “On this date, this would happen.”
And it didn’t happen on that date.
It, rather, happened, if it happened, a lot longer.
He, making one thousand shekels a month,
Gave twenty-thousand shekels to the poor.
He healed the lame with his words
And comforted them.
He spoke what was wise
Though he got his predictions wrong.
He also condemned the sinners with his words
Though he did not judge them
The sinners felt condemned when he spoke
Therefore, they hated him.
The second man, every word he predicted came true.
He didn’t do what God told him to do.
He would say, “On this day, this will happen.”
And it would.
He, making two billion shekels a month
Gave none of it to the poor.
He would tell the sinners, “God loves you”
But would not correct them to their face,
But it made them feel secure.
He would hug the sinners,
And make them feel very happy about themselves.
He never told anyone that they were wrong,
But rather, everyone was right because he was a murderer
And he didn’t want to accuse others for his own sin.
Every sinner felt like they were saved
Though they had great sin,
And they were comforted by this word,
“A mass murderer, if on his death bed
“Confessed Christ, he will go to heaven.”
So, they all committed murder
Believing their final confession would save them.
Which is the prophet?
The Nation Types
Here is the interpretation of the nations in scripture.
Prince of Tyre is a rich man
Who gains riches, and believes
Himself to be God.
He is deluded to think
That he has gained his own treasures
And hasn’t accrued them from the blessing of God.
Nebo and Chemosh Moab’s
Type is those who are wicked,
Exceedingly wicked
And hide it from the rest.
They hide it, and are prosperous.
They are inflamed with their material possessions
And cannot separate from them;
They turn their creature comforts into their gods
To comfort themselves for their sins.
Ziddon’s nation type
Is the worst,
Higher over the Philistines
Amonnites,
Amorites,
Amelekites.
They are at war,
Constant
With the LORD’s people
As a thorn in their side.
Every person the Godly offends
This is these nations.
Zoan is Egypt,
The type of those who
Shield the wicked
When they have sinned.
They go to war
For them,
They fight beside them
But ultimately,
They enslave them.
King of Tyre
Is a man who has done nothing wrong
His whole life.
He gains riches.
And, when he sees he is rich
He believes he is responsible for it.
So his heart begins to sin
And because of his sinless nature
He believes himself incapable of it.
So, he becomes the worst of all demons.
Daughter of Moab
Is a person who
Follows the wicked
Wherever they go.
They cling to them
Are loyal to them
Because in their heart they make justification
For the wicked.
They will battle, war,
And are loyal to a wicked person
No matter what.
Whore of Babylon
Or Daughter of Babylon
Is a person inflamed with
Idols. Their position is simply
Idolatry. Naked.
Unabashed. And they
Spread idolatry to everywhere else.
Tyrus is a person
Whose beauty
Makes them vain.
Jareb, or the King of Assyria
Is someone who sees what is
To be conquered, and will
Even conquer the righteous
To obtain what is not his.
He will destroy what is right
In order to gain possession
Over lands and riches
That do not belong to him.
Ephraim is a drunkard.
Up to mischief for mischief’s sake.
Drunk on naked power,
Drunk on wine.
It is just mischief for mischief’s sake.
No rhyme, no reason.
Just because it is fun.
Nebuchadnezzar
Is a person who sees the plight of the righteous
And shows no mercy because of it.
They come and destroy
Because of the plight of the righteous
And use it to overthrow the wicked
To a point where it no longer is justice
But is revenge.
Abaddon is just naked foolishness.
He is cruel. He is unwise.
He is never satisfied with good.
He is strong, and able to accomplish his lusts.
He has no knowledge, and he despises knowledge.
When I’m writing my poetry, the thirteen kings
Represent these nation types.
This is the highest of the sin.
There is one more I know about
And I tremble at the thought of not knowing all of the nations.
That is Ethiopia.
She is false Christianity
And false morality.
She is religions built from the true faith
But obscure it.
The reason why I bring this up
Is because when you interpret prophecy
This is how you interpret it.
You do not use it to predict tomorrow.
You use it to hide yourself from evil
And be like Israel, Judah and yes, even Ephraim.
You also use it to hide yourself from these thirteen nations.
Because there are wicked Israel, Ephraim and Judah.
There is also righteous Israel, Ephraim and Judah.
Each prophesy correlates with a curse and blessing
On each nation, that reflects the heart.
This is the sum of the wisdom I’ve learned
And it has guided my pen in creating my poetry.
LORD, False Accusers Have Risen Up!
LORD, false accusers have risen up!
Had they not seen, o LORD
Had they not seen what was done to the wicked ones
Whom your people were tormented by?
Had they not seen
How they belched forth words
And were destroyed in a moment?
LORD? How long shall they shoot forth lies
At the merciful ones?
How long shall they speak vanity
And shame the counsel of the poor?
LORD, there is no violence in our hands
We of Israel.
There is no malice nor intent to destroy in our hearts.
We go forth, spreading forth our seed
We wait for the harvest.
We look to the ground
And see the shoots springing forth.
We wait on these, like a harvest
Bountiful to our God.
Father, the harvest springs forth
But then there is none to consume for our people.
It springs forth, and it is eaten by the heathen nations who surround us.
Father, and when they fall into judgment
When they go forth into the grave
By their own wickedness and stupidity
Father, we, we are the ones who are held accountable.
Father, first they make war
And when we don’t draw out our swords
They fall ‘pon rocks
And are dashed to pieces
By their own hands
By their own weapons
By their own lies.
And then they say unto Israel, “Aha! Aha!
“We see! You are the wicked
“And murderous generation!
“We lay forth a curse every so many generations!
“And we change the laws!
“We have you in our trap now!”
LORD, had they not seen the previous traps laid against Israel
How it dashed them to pieces?
How their entrails were as bursting forth from them?
LORD, yet they multiply a war against You, and only You.
Their weapons prospered for a little while
Making the dearth of your people very great.
Yet, in the valleys, decision was made
And great was the slaughter at Beth-Hashaida.
Why, then, do they continue to attack?
Why then, do they continue to slaughter your people?
Their own traps sprung on them
And now they multiply even greater war.
Yet, the war shall be turned to the gate.
It has now left Zion.
Say this now, Israel,
“The war has now left Zion.”
Now shall the Assyrian be made war with in his own country.
Now shall they be slaughtered
And now shall they be laid waste.
Yet not by the sword, nor by man’s devices.
Now shall they be held in captivity
And their people mocked and on display
For the whole world to see.
The LORD decreed a destruction against you
And even had you laid down your weapons
The slaughter would be great.
We, the LORD’s people
Would have followed you with our words
And wagged the tongue at you
And watched you flee as dogs
From the prey
When the lions come to tear.
That shall be you,
Yet the lions will want live prey
And they shall follow you to your holes
And they shall rip the enemies of the LORD’s people to pieces.
Yet, you continue war.
War with the LORD shall not prosper you
Oh king of Israel.
Pekah, the merciful man has spared you
The merciful man has blessed you.
For one battle, you are enraged
Yet now let Zion tear forth her walls
O Israel, for your people are a great number
Yet they multiply their vanities.
For these vanities, you bring forth and wag the tongue.
Now we shall lay forth the curse on you
And wag our tongues at you.
Assyria has visited the prophets.
Assyria has visited the lame
And the saints.
Now shall go forth the slaughter as at Midian
O Pekah, king of Israel.
Into captivity shall you go
To the nations whom you did not know.
Judah shall be set free.
Judah shall be eating in the valleys.
Judah shall feed by the brooks.
Judah, O King of Israel, whom you were at war with.
Judah shall confess the curse upon thee
For smiting your brethren
And continually bringing them to shame.
For your curses and your vanities
O Pekah, King of Israel
Shall be your shame.
All your words shall fall on your own head
And depart from the land of Judah.
Assyria’s king shall hear of a great rumor
And shall return unto his cities.
The prophet says to you,
Oh Assyrian? Where is the blessing?
Had not even you done so to us?
And Pekah will be left bare without you
And he shall be as a heath in a burning woods
Consumed by the fires of his own curses.
He shall be laid low in the valleys of Kidron
As the LORD’s people eat, and Judah rejoices with the wife,
LORD, the wife You have chosen for him.
For Judah shall be called “Israel” wherever a blessing rests.
And Judah shall be called “Judah” wherever a blessing rests.
O! Ephraim, Pekah King of Israel, you shall be called so, and even called Judah
Wherever a curse shall rest.
Therefore, the curse which you smote the LORD’s people with
The one which you found by our laws,
It shall fall on your head, o Northern King.
And the curses shall rest on you
O foolish king.
Thus ends the words of the Prophet.
Jesus Christ is Come in the Flesh
There are three proofs for God
Christians, which you will use in the world
To prove your God.
No more science or worldly explanations
Lest you destroy yourselves.
This is a prophecy
One of very few I have written:
The first is Miracles.
Christians, they exist.
A car flips, five people ride it
And all survive.
With my very arm
I move the car,
And it falls.
Healing exists in a spiritual prayer.
So does blessing encourage,
And encouragement brings people to do what is right.
So does a curse alight to turn a man away from sin.
The second proof is that people can communicate.
It is undeniable.
People understand one another
If they are listening to one another.
With an ear, they can understand
One another to the most minutia.
They can precisely coordinate
They can build precision
They can communicate ideas.
If this were not so,
Then we could never prove truth.
But, we can prove truth
Because we can reason with one another.
The third proof of God is that there is good and evil.
There is a behavior you would prefer
All people treat you.
There is a behavior you should have
Toward all others.
You should not kill
You should not steal
You should not have sex before marriage.
It is known to every child that this is the case
And each one groans when they see any diversion from these truths.
For, they understand what is right
Until their hearts are intent on evil.
And evil drives them to insanity
It drives them to destructive habits
It drives them to isolation and regret
And shame and constant heartache.
This is observable.
So with goodness, does it clear the conscience.
And the fact that we have a conscience
And it needs cleared,
And only one God offers to clear it;
All others say to pay the full penalty of sin;
That is the ultimate proof of Christ.
That there is good.
That there is evil.
The contrary is easily mooted
Because we observe both.
