Poem Title:
Poem
Having heard of them, and never having experienced them, I cannot be objective about firsthand knowledge. A number of people have encountered 'Near Death Experiences'. I choose to never prevent them from having their say, whether or not I believe them. I will not protest what they attest to or confess. Indeed, I believe that there is a continuity to our existence after death. Nevertheless, when the questions of Who, why, what, and how are raised, a myriad of responses is provided, but there is never 'A Final Answer' except in the realm of Faith. I must say that I always admire the questions and the 'Line of primary inquiry' to which my response is: By faith, I know who and whose I am. By faith, I am made in the image of God. By faith, I accept the Divine secrecy whose unveiling is yet future. By faith, I choose not to go the mystical route, but rather wait for the God-Ordained Revelation in His Time. By faith, I gladly accept the Biblical passage about secret things. * By faith, for me and millions more, Biblical Truth is definitive enough, notwithstanding the myriad of religious beliefs. By faith, there is nothing to which we are bound or conditioned that lies beyond Biblical Truth. Without regard to societal, environmental, and religious impositions, by faith, I and millions more, although imperfectly, have chosen to be citizens of God's kingdom, being ruled by Jesus Christ both present and future. By faith, presently, we see through a glass darkly; but later, face to face.** 031223PSCtest, Break the Mirror, Unseeking Seeker *Deuteronomy 29:29 **1 Corinthians 13:12
