Now Is The Time, Do Not Wait Hogwash! Venial and mortal sin are made up By the Vatican; Aligned in spiritual classification, Of neatly arrayed distinction. Sin is sin and not A portrait by Dante’s Superstitious eye And vivid imagination. This notion that everyone, Who follows the Catholic doctrine Will be granted everlasting life, Is meant to deceive, And cover your face in shame When the bad things you’ve done Are revealed. Purgatory is blasphemous. Christ said; “I am the good Shepherd. I know my own And my own know me!” ¹ And Christians believe Through Jesus’s teachings; “All that the Father gives me, Will come to me, And whoever comes to me I will never cast out!” ² There is only one unforgivable sin On the way to eternal life; Failure to comply will be dire. Death can come at any time. “If you Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart That God raised Him from the dead, You will be saved!” ³ Now is the time, do not wait. *** Reference: ¹ John 10:14 (ESV) ² John 6:37 (ESV)) ³ Romans 10:9 (ESV)
