"FORGIVE THEM MY LORD" FROM SARONIS, GREECE, 08 JULY 2017, MY PHOTO, ©

Oh my Lord forgive all those blasphemers who in their immeasurable ignorance a sinner they dare to call you!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 10 July 2017 * When we refer to God we have to be careful not to call Him a sinner, as a fellow poet has done. This constitutes blasphemy and Hubris. She also my "Defending The Lord"

- Believers or not believers ... I have respect for all religions - Blasphemer comes from evil tongues (even when He lived on the earth), it's sad and a shame ... but they will always be there - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Yes, Richard is a very good Christian and person! Although what he says and you agree with is true, my question is this: Would you let those blasphemer say whatever they like against our Lord without doing anything? Where is your loyalty to our Lord? I know you are a very good and loving person however we should not let those people do what they like without respecting neither Man nor God! Thank you my friend, Anne-Lise! Hugs! Welcome back!

If our Lord was not without sin our Salvation would be in jeopardy. I am thankful Jesus lived a sinless life.

Richard my friend, be careful with your statement because it may be read in different ways:"not without sin" may be read -with sin-and as "sinless". That is what I get anyway although I know what you mean and the rest of the statement clarifies! Thank you my friend, for your visit!

Your poem and footnote says it all my friend Dear Demetrios. It is an aberration that needed to be brought to the attention of the peaceful poetry soupers who want to display their works and relax with pleasant writings. Thank you my friend...Maria I will now go and look at your second Monoku.
