If You...

If you:
   Have something to say; jot it down, write a book, express yourself. 
        But don't use GOD's word as a stepping stone for your own.

If you:
   Have a disagreement; bring it forth, explain your reason, let it be.
        But don't deviate The Word of GOD just to justify your own.

If you:
  Have a misunderstanding; look to GOD, ask for help, trust Him.
       But don't destroy GOD's word just to give yourself meaning.

If you:
  Don't like what you read; close The BIBLE, put it down, walk away.
       But don't go changing it by scientific what if's so you can understand.

If you:
  Write your own book; change it, rephrase it, turn it all around.
      But don't add or subtract to that which has already been written.

If you:
  Love The Word of GOD; read it, believe it, share it.
      But don't try to translate that which isn't there.
