What Makes Me Flinch

WHAT MAKES ME FLINCH

Flinch verb- draw back in pain, disgust.
I’ll tell you what, does that.
Lies, centuries being promoted,
disgusting as … a rat.

Snakes, spiders and yes, roaches too,
will see me scale a wall.
Yet find nothing as disturbing,
as lies … these get my gall.

Churches should have been teaching truth,
with Bible this I’ll do.
Bet taught, Soul’s something inside you,
bet never taught … it’s YOU?

“Man BECAME living SOUL,” Genesis
 two: seven, truth you’ll read.
Clearly says, NOT given a soul,
WE are SOULS … truth concede.

Example: If BECAME a student, 
not a student, give you.
it’s YOU, what YOU have become,
same principle … is true

Joshua eleven: eleven,
read,“Soul struck with edge of the sword,”
died, “utterly DESTROYED,”
 STOPS breathing …  no discord.

Flinch when hear “Soul is immortal,
Bible proved that’s a lie.
Churches, books, movies, all promote 
 lie …  that soul doesn’t die.

Flinch, because love truth, and Satan’s,
called “Father of the lie.”
Flinch, cause those ignore Bible truth’s.
spread Satan’s lies … and why?

It's the spirit of scriptural truths. So sad that the world continues to promote lies instead. Nice hearing from you.
