War of the Spirit

They live in mortal sin and shame Between the lines of old and new As us the righteous good and few See infidels who aren't the same How dare they question our belief Eternal fire is prepared for The devil and his angel scores Who claim their brand of truth as chief Our war is waged victorious In time our vision shall prevail Our purest essence, glorious Barbarians are weak and frail And we the meritorious Will fight the battle tooth and nail

Mathew 5:11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." - Some things do actually come from Jesus. I believe 1 - 12 did. Revelations is another matter...
