Apostasy-Book of Jude
A friend of mine,
Told me Christ is one of these three things:
A joke in a popular culture,
A name used to oppress Africans.
A banner raised by religionists to prevent homosexuals from getting married.
She mentioned the church is where people.
Give advice they themselves can't keep,
The shepherd is more lost than the sheep,
He preaches what himself can't keep.
Never will she want to be part of the sheep.
The sheep are lost, pretending to be found,
Their voice is that of a wolf.
Sharp nails that protrude from their hooves,
These sheep feed on meat and blood!
Wiping their lips every morning before church service.
She mentioned God is a subject that can be perfectly understood outside the Bible.
Other religions are just different road maps to Him.
She no longer wants to be identified with Christian 'Clicks'.
She wants to be free,
Her wings have been choked daily,
she can no longer grow in the faith she was brought up in.
She now talks of Karma,
The universe energy that is focused on her.
The positive and good vibes directed to her,
the emptying of mind from her Yoga tutor,
She no longer sails with God in her tide.
Depending on fate and chance,
Sin has clogged her mind, becoming callous in her conscience.
Doing what she loves, what her mind wants.
She is no longer in the faith,
neither was she in the first place.
Death hatched doubts,
Stretch of doubt led her blindly out.
But you must remember, beloved,
predictions of the apostles.
There will be scoffers in the last days,
Following their ungodly passions,
It is these who cause divisions,
Worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
Beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Spirit,
keep yourselves in the love of God,
In wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
Having mercy on those who doubt.
save others by snatching them out of the fire, showing mercy to others with fear,
hating even the garment stained by their flesh.
