Best Religions Poems
Hallowed be thy name,
Spirit of growth, compassion, and love –
Whatever they may call you.
You are not
An unyielding, vengeful
Law-giving master
For there is but one law in your realm
Inscribed in Earth and in Sky:
Love, and do no harm.
You are not
A stern judge who divides the righteous
From the unworthy,
For by your power all those who seek, may find,
And all may receive
Your blessing.
You are not
A dispenser of shame and of guilt
And of restrictions,
For your glory is in the flame of renewal,
The water of forgiveness,
And the seeds of endless possibilities.
Spirit of growth, compassion, and love –
Whatever they may call you:
Hallowed be thy name.

Realization & The World Religions
Christianity
Petro—Peter means stone
Jesus made a pun:
Upon this stone I build my church
Unto you I give the keys to the Kingdom
Hence Peter—The First Pope
Jesus “He is my Rock and Salvation”
Judaism
The Mitzvah—God blesses every good deed
The Buddha
sits under a bode tree,
Surrounded by swirling forces of greed,
temptation, and evil intent
Desires which are the source of all suffering
Through meditation he extinguishes these desires
like he would a fire
What remains is the pure,
ecstatic bliss of endless, inextinguishable love
Krishna’s Dance
represents the lifeforce constant change and flux
The vital, joyous force,
casting off our collective part of painful illusion,
and sweeping us ever onward in an endless, journey—Nirvana
Islam
Allah—The One and only God—Allah is good
Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham,
Moses, David and Jesus
Peace be upon them all.
However, it is certainly true that Jews,
Christians and Muslims
all have different concepts of
Almighty God
Realization
From my deepest self I reveal
an emotional rapture of the combined sacred oneness
Enamored in love is how I truly feel
note: Monotheistic religion starts at the core wherein one
God created the world and its people because He loved them!
Polytheistic religions also have love at their core.
AD 60 or 70 first known Christian writings
1600's Christian Bible, King James time
Before that Pagan Nature Worship
Nothing made more peace and love,
Nothing made more tangible brotherhood,
Nothing made charity spread,
It is nothing other than religions.
Nothing spread more hatred in the world,
Nothing bred more bitter enmity,
Nothing flood the world with blood,
It is nothing other than religions.
When we think our religion is good,
And neighbor’s also good as mine,
Then we see peace and love,
Charity and brotherhood in this world.
When we think our religion is good,
But my neighbor’s not as mine,
Then the hatred and enmity rises,
Flooding the world with neighbor’s blood.
Let us accept all our religions,
And worship God with every one of them,
In whatever form he worship him,
Tolerance is not what we need.
Let us take Mohammedans’ brotherhood,
Let the Christians teach us charity,
Let us become spiritual as Hindus,
Acceptance is what we need.

Different generations
Different life styles
From deficiency to abundance
From neglect to care
From basic education to higher education
From man monopolization to women arising
From single income bearers to both parents working
From self-raising babies to baby sisters to nurseries
Different generations
Different perspectives of life
Different hazards
Different confrontations
Who is happier
Man is always curious and greedy
They always make problems to be solve
Like pollution, wars, bribery, disputes,racism
Who is happier
Finally they will lean to religions
But who knows God is not to be bribed
God will only help those who help themselves
Suppose you went to several doctors who told you your prognostics were grim,
And you didn’t like what you heard so you find a feel good doctor and decide you’d best
listen to him.
The fact is he didn’t really make you feel better he just said what you had wanted to hear,
All the while you are getting sicker and the evidence is quite clear!
The same thing is going on in many of our churches, they are not teaching what God wants
them to teach,
They are trying to please man, not God, in the sermons they preach.
These feel good preachers need to be honest and preach what God commands for our souls to
be saved,
Obedience, faithfulness, the very actions of His Son, which to the world he gave.
Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, and few there be that find it,
It is something we truly have to search for with all our heart and we must never quit.
God says prove all things, don’t be guilty of taking someone at there word,
Learn your Bible, it’s our first and best defense to many lies you will incur.
Repent, turn away from whatever wrong you do,
Get baptized and be a servant of God, for His Kingdom is there for you.
The Gospel is the Good News, the Inspired Word of God, given unto man,
Just a few simple rules, not really all that hard to follow, that is God’s plan!
when it's the water
that cools your thirst, does it
matter what cup?
A rare Arab and Asian identity which is distinct in topography;
blessed with an excellent human resource in health services;
its heart, destroyed and rebuilt seven different times;
having a name unchanged and sustained to reach historic zeniths;
surviving a number of years more than the number of Brazilian Airports
while its tongue resonates in three different dance moves.
This land historically occupied by over 19 intruders
holds the world book capital and appears in the league
of the most popular shopping destinations globally.
In the global skyscraper of night clubs, sky Bar stays at the top.
The creation of the first boat and the establishment of the first sail
makes the Phoenicians topple Christopher Columbus to reach America.
Down town Beirut raises its flag high above all others
in the building of its law school.
Rooted from its gardens is the creators of Tom and Jerry
and holds the shield of pride as the first constitution driven Arab Nation.
A plug in the large socket of the Arab peninsula
is this land with the highest percentage of Christians in its league;
having a city named after the combined scrolls of the Christ-like religion
and sidon signifying the first miracle center of the Messiah;
with the popular belief of the divine plantations of the cedars.
It is sealed by the several mentions of both land and tree in the holy scriptures.
Even though it is a fortieth of the entire religious empire
its garage gives out a large chunk of the peninsula’s publications.
Unique in its spring, when skiing and swimming are both possible;
possessing fifteen flowing waters, each coming from its own mountainous source;
with four times more compatriots outside its landmark
than within its territorial fence.
Its past time events of the wild fire of civil wars
all ignited by the sparks of inter-religious differences
reflect a large society harbouring eighteen different faith
to form a nation with hidden political and economic influences.
so many
worship authoritarian gods
of the desert
reminding us of the spirit
that is in fact us
wind deiven
sands greet me every morning
of my life
in god's living presence
I look up once more and know
the name
escapes me day and night
resting quietly
it comes and rests in my heart
and breathes me with a song
scent
of night-blooming jasmine
beckons me
to sleep and dream of love
the hot sun awakens my thirst
Church view other religions
Church respects other religions
That is good and true
She respects and promotes freedom of religion
Human right
Effect of the Truth will be seen later
She knows Father Christ, sole redeemer of mankind
He alone is “the way, the truth and the life” ([St.] Jn 14 : 6)

You think Christ is not hurt
With loving what you thought is Christ
Loving Christ is being in His true Church
In Catholic or Roman Catholic you are not condemned but saved
In His Church
Ask R.C.I.A.
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
Is like a college Religion class
You will learn the truth
In other man-made religion bible are lies
What you’re reading is really the true Church
Not your own
It’s like a blind
Leading another blind
They would both fall in hell of fire
It is not the minister’s fault
Your own, rather take them with you
Both of you learn the truth
For every man they can be a deacon
Bishop and Priest are not with a wife
For Jesus Christ is a High Priest
Great Prophet
Only Son of the most High
The Redeemer
In RCIA, you will receive 3 important Sacraments
Baptism
Confirmation and
Holy Eucharist or the Body of Christ
We want God to be pleased with us
Eternal Father told the people
To Listen only to the Messiah and
The One I sent
What are these Christ like churches?
Non Catholic churches?
People in there are already condemned
Being in Catholic or Roman Catholic, you are saved
Religion out of Here.
It is necessary to provide religious guidelines as a moral compass ....
But not when it is manipulated till it becomes the main focus...
For human psychological studies does dictate....
All humans seek religious atonement with advancing years....
Just too bad there are zealous religious freaks here on earth...
Who thinks they know best and then they try and force feed...
Young children into upholding their over zealous religious norms...
Thereby creating dangerous religious fanatics who believes lives on earth are transient...
And they have a moral duty to blow up non believer into smithereens...
In order that they are will be exalted martyrs to enter heavens...
Boo hoo hoo...
How Religions Come to Pass
By Franklin Price
2/24/2015
It's interesting how religions are made to come to pass
Whether from a fortune teller's cards crystal ball or looking glass
From the Bible or the Koran from Jesus Christ Mohammed too
All it takes is one believing then convincing more anew
Establishing a following who have feelings they belong
And soon there's not just one or two they've turned into a throng
The recruitment of the grasping ones lost and wondering
Searching for some happiness a song that they can sing
You are my brothers and my sisters and if you will follow me
What I believe will save your soul for all eternity
Will resolve unanswered questions of what life is all about
Will fill your life with happiness and resolve your every doubt
Many sources offer this say we are the only way
You will be lost forever if you don't come with us today
Some do this with kindness while others threaten harm
Either way the choice is yours so I'm raising this alarm
Mankind is both blessed and cursed with much intelligence
Magnetic leaders right or wrong try to lead us through the fence
Evaluate the options and before you make a choice
Think about your fellow man and think about his voice
You have the right to happiness all others have it too
Choose a belief that honors that for those others could be you
Teachings that use violence to prove the words they say
Makes no sense to me at all should not be in the world today
Religion's for the living what it should offer to us all
Should be comfort when we're down and a pick up when we fall
Consideration for all others and to help our fellow man
If we believe and honor that we're really doing all we can
Choose a belief that gives you comfort and others the right to choose
What you believe should be your choice for you to win or lose
Although you may believe them wrong if they don't choose your way
It is their choice as it was yours we'll see who's right our dying day

Religions
The entire Budhist monk"s life is but a preperation,
For his Death Point or moment of seperation.
The Jains have santhara,
Quitting life consciously to join with the paramatma.
The hindus go into samadhi,
Where there is no Congress,Shiv Sena,BJP or Samajwadi.
The Christian merges with the holy spirit,
Peace no more desperate.
The sufi mystic to become one,
Dances,twirls,prays,trances to get the job done.
Aghora means illumined with light,
Longing for Shiva in whom they delight.
Shamanism or the art of ecstacy,
The ultimate being one with the super entity.
There is no need to change your faith,
And on your old religion lay a wreath.
Religions
Take a good look at the bigger religions,
All started by God to give us some law,
His son Adam/Christ,
in a multitude of regions,
Do you think that the others,
he really abhors,
His only begotten son,
came as Enoch of old,
But never to die,
he was carried away,
A chariot of fire,
and burning brimstone,
Returning to God,
his will and the way,
As ye sow, so ye reap,
and karma subtle so sweet,
Doing time, on little hell earth,
Hell hinted at, upon you,
surely does creep,
Next time you’re coming ,
Your value , your worth?
In the earth,
If any today:)
