Randy Johnson Poet Rhyme

You'Re Not a Christian

(This poem takes place in the year 1800)

You call yourself a Christian who has been saved.
But you're not a Christian because you have slaves.
Instead of freeing your slaves, slavery is something you choose to prolong.
If you were a Christian, you'd free them because Jesus said slavery is wrong.
When you pretend to be a Christian, it definitely makes God mad.
Because you can't see that you're a horrible person, it is very sad.
God and Jesus realize that slaves are precious human beings who should be free.
You're not a true Christian because If you were, you'd free your slaves immediately.
Owning fifty slaves makes you money and their hardship makes your purse swell.
I wouldn't want to be you because when you die, you might just go to Hell.

Kim Rodrigues August 30, 2021 at 6:34 AM God sees our hearts. Indeed everyone is headed for hell unless we repent and turn to God. Whether a slave or slavemaster, both can be evil. God shows us the way to freedom through Jesus Christ. Ignorance at the beginning can be changed with the light of God. May God change hearts. John Newton, a former enslaver wrote the famous song, “Amazing Grace.”
