Not From Church Pews

NOT FROM CHURCH PEWS Never cause of falls.. God helps us stand about to stumble.. extends his hand. Aware God made us.. out of wet clay Christ left footprints ..to show us God’s way. Never pain or burden’s.. our way toss Satan’s deep abyss.. God helps us across. Life’s heavy yoke .. it’s weight he’ll share Loss of loved one’s.. he'll calm our despair. Don’t blame God for death.. Satan birthed grief Only God’s Kingdom ..will bring Earth relief. When God’s Will’s done here.. no more will die "Thief” resurrected in Paradise..Christ didn't lie. Adam door opened.. led to men’s death God will give dead.. His life giving breath. Those asleep in earth’s..”death bedrooms” On Earth again stand …free of their tombs. God’s Kingdom, it’s King.. bring total release Prince of Peace all wars ..on earth make cease. EDEN restored..is Bible’s Good News Heaven not “Paradise “..taught from church pews.

Beautifully written. Your poem gives God the praise he deserves. I hope the readers who may have given up on God based on the misinformation that is spread about him, would take a second look. I love your style of writing and your rhymes.

Christ was called a "Faithful and true witness". He witnessed regarding his God and Father.. I try to also. Thank you so very. much for appreciating my effort.

I love reading and writing about God or my faith in Him. I found in life I don't always find Him in churches but in nature or by reading the Holy Bible for myself and in prayers. I'm a person that lives with health ailments/issues and have seen God's hand on me in many incidents that troubles ocurred because of them and yet I came out unharmed.

Bonnie, Thank you for sharing your faith in God. Sadly so many faith's doing their own thing. I accept scriptural standards in viewing different religious views. Feel free to contact me on soup mail. I'd love to talk to you.

Debbie, nice hearing from you, late thanking you due to computer issues. Two hopes held out in scriptures, My hope not heavenly, I not chosen for that inheritance, but the earthly inheritance I desire. Thanks for support!

I learned, (not leaned) of earthly reward promised to all those who died, before Christi died. J no one had heavenly hope, not even John the Baptist. God promises his original purpose for this earth, when his will is done here...will be to have perfect obedient meek, live in Paradise . soupmail me , if ?'s

Robert, truth's learned later in life inspire me to share joy felt when leaned two places righteous rewarded with eternal Life I respect those chosen to rule in heaven as Kings and Priest with christ over this earth cleansed of wicked people and sin. My hope is not heavenly, but earthy Paradise. Thanks for visit.

Yes I think we are wired to want to grasp onto this place. Still there is a hope for the world to come. I feel both are compatible. The fact this life is fleeting causes us to value our time here.

Richard New Heaven, and Earth is the hope for world and heavens. Made possible when wicked one Satan and his angels thrown out of heaven. Ps 37 confirms wicked, be removed from the earth. God will restore his purpose for both. Some will get life in heaven, but some, like thief beside Christ promised Paradise instead, I hope see life here too. Thanks for comments

A meaningful conversation. I enjoyed your perspective.

Hi again, from Bible research I've come to accept fact heaven and earth 'two places,' meek and righteous may be given everlasting life. I love animals and earthly delights so my hope is earthly, not heavenly. Hope you'll visit again.

How wonderfully faithful and to-the-heart this poem is ... you express the connection between God and his lambs so exquisitely here, Barbara, and I enjoyed every bit of it. My favorite pastor, (many years ago), would always say, (at the end of every sermon), that the TRUE work of saints is not found in church - that our real responsibility to spread the Word is done outside of church, as everyone in the pews are saved already! A beautifully spiritual and true write, my friend. Blessings! :-) <3

Hi Gregory, As protestant, I was never shown in Bible 'two' places righteous will receive everlasting life. Makes sense, God not let someone he created destroy his PURPOSE for creating earth and man. I don't want to be in heaven, my hope is to be among the meek inherit the Paradise Earth,God.purposed for obedient. Please visit again soon .

Pandita, hello friend. Thank you for your kind reply. God gets blamed for so much of the bad in this world, for death etc. For those haven't studied the Bible, wanted to clear his name and make known two places righteous will spend eternity. In PARADISE ..as he ORIGINALLY purposed....and in HEANEN for those chosen to be Kings and Priest in the Kingdom folks have prayed for ,..for years. Do you think I was able to make this clear. I 'll respect your answer. Thanks.

Barbara, it is so wonderful to see another poet who expresses their love of Christ in their poems. Most of my poems are spiritual in nature. I will be reading more of your work.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian

I feel the same way. I have learned having so many spiritual discussions, that folks should agreed to disagree. Doing so with an open heart and mind. I will always based my thoughts on scripture I''ll quote. That way person can see where I am coming from, and comment. Be catching up with reading you and friends next week.

Thank you for reading a spiritual poem. My "hope" share with about 8 million, majority have hope of heaven. Place for those that rule with J.C and in a covenant with him. I not one chosen for rulership position with J.C. Hope attain Paradise he promised the meek and the Thief. TWO HOPES , any ?

This is lovely. The other day I watched a program about people who died and actually saw heaven . Either heaven or a light, before they went back into their dead bodies and came back to life. It's a very fascinating topic to me.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian
Date: 3/23/2018 9:52:00 PM

Fascinating topic for sure. In watching programs important to determine the basic of imfo. they give out. Example: One you watched projected idea the DEAD...Can see. Tell's me they don't know the Bible. Never read condition of the dead. Soup mail me if desire to discuss, for repeat...fascinating!!! Thanks for visit.

Akkina. beautiful name and so are you, and your comments. Wrote after reading poem where writer blamed God for bad that happens, said he testing us etc.... God ALLOWS events..., He doesn't cause them, nor does he takes love ones in death (Eccl.9:5 due to chance) Thanks for visiting bbn

Well Charlie...I've recently discovered how easily words flow from you, and your well done is very much appreciated. Wondering.. has any religion made you aware their are two hopes, two places to enjoy eternity? bbn
