Me too

Not Judas alone has sold the Lord,  
We all have bartered flesh for sword.  
Not Pilate alone has washed his hands,  
We all have turned from burning lands.  

Not spears alone have pierced the side,  
But tongues of fire where lies abide.  
Not nails alone have fixed the pain,  
But hearts like doors that won't remain.  

For when the orphan sought our bread,  
We fed him dust and turned our head.  
For when the mother screamed in flame,  
We bowed our eyes and praised God’s name.  

Not Judas alone shall bear the blame,  
The world is crucified the same;  
And till the stone rolls from the tomb,  
War plants its seed, love finds no room.  

Not crowns of thorn alone still sting,  
But crowns of gold that curse their king.  
Not wooden cross alone can kill,  
But laws unjust, and iron will.  

Not blood alone upon the ground,  
But silent debts that still abound.  
Not only one betrayed with kiss:  
We trade the truth for war’s abyss.  

So let no heart claim it is pure,  
While bombs fall far, yet we endure;  
For every soul that turns away  
Adds nails to Calvary today.

The Jewish Man of War

The Jewish Man of War

Jesus was a pacifist, this we are told,
And that’s the story that’s been sold. 
Some of the names surrounding his cause,
Demonstrate behavior to give this pause.

Simon Zelotes is one of the names,
That give us the reality of these aims.
Zelotes means zealot, and these men wanted,
To kill the Romans and were undaunted,
About wanting the violent overthrow,
And giving the Romans their final death blow.

And Judas Iscariot is another of these,
Whose name was altered only to please,
The masses who wanted Jesus as a pacifist,
But had to disguise this violent activist.
Sicariot means “dagger man”, with their own crusades.
Those who killed Romans with hidden blades.
And the name Iscariot has always been,
An unknown issue and believers chagrin.


Now we come the the Gethsemane garden,
Where Simon Peter gets a full pardon,
For lopping off a Roman’s ear,
And doing so without much fear.
But attacking a Roman soldier was a major crime,
And you’d be killed in a very quick time.
But Peter got to live his life,
And entered not his afterlife.
But there’s more to this tale that causes worry.
Carrying a sword would cause a scurry.
A sword was strictly a weapon of war,
Carried by Romans whom the Jews did abhor.
But seemingly here not unusual at all
And would have resulted in Peter’s downfall
Making this entire incident a complete oddball.

Finally the men on both sides of Jesus,
On their crosses, both quite grievous,
Were not thieves as the tale is told.
No one was crucified for steeling some gold.
The only reason one hung on a cross,
Was insurrection against Rome and and not the gloss,
That they were thieves being killed
For common crimes that they fulfilled.
So with this reality, we should agree,
The story is not what they claim it to be.
Jesus was not the Prince of Peace
But a rebel Romans could not release.

Premium Member After Death Than What Conclusion

God will cleanse the earth from any trace of it being a fallen planet under Satan's curse.He will therefore re-atomize [recreate] the earth. Why does God need to create a new heaven. Because Satan [our accuser  of the breathern had access to the throne room of God. And therefore God had to recreate it as well! 

Does the New  Jerusalem exist now? The answer is yes and it is part of God's heavenly domain. God also calls it His bride and it does descend down from the new heaven to the new earth.

It's descriptions are mentioned in the final chapters of the Book of Revelation. It has twelve gates and twelve angels are at its gates. And the names of the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb of God [excluding Judas Iscarat, the son of perdition.]

And written on its floors are the twelve tribes of the Children of Israel. There is a precious gem stone belonging to each one of the twelve tribes. more later on 10/08/21

An Ode to Love

An Ode to Love

(A lone voice whispers) 

Is Love
Like one

Finding a South Philippine Dwarf Kingfisher

One of the World's 
Rarest birds 

A much-welcome visitor 
To see and treasure 
Sunbathing in the sun 

Or two
Does it sometimes 
Fly high 

Like an extraordinary Golden Eagle

Over all emotional 
Physical or Spiritual 
Battlefields 

As it goes-to-war 

With family 
Friends 
Religion or politics 

For true love never 
Yields 

Or three
is it just like a form of 
Fast Love
 
That just runs 
Jumps out the door and hits the road 

Looking for a new lascivious episode

After its heavy load 
Explodes 
When it's had its fun

And finally, 
Which one have you experienced 
 
Did love find you or betray you 

Like Judas Iscariot?

Guardian Angel

Science bent my faithful lens to doubt
The disclosure of the mystic
(Anything that comes out his mouth
Violates what is pragmatic)

Until my lens is corrected
By almost drowning in the sea
On a large boulder Judas pushed
Me to what I did not agree

By not sinking in depth of death
After being hit by big fruits
On the head and near out of breath
In death for my soul someone loots

By near striking a buffalo
On the road by my motorbike
The rain mists on my helmet grew
Brake! The road wiggled or the spike?

As I go by the bamboo grass
Its leaves start to sway and rustle
As though the wind is there to pass
From the thrust of guardian angel

Premium Member We All Fall Down Sometimes

It is said that a failure to plan is a plan to fail.                                              And I agree that failure should not be an option.                                                                                                                                    
Jesus told the Roman Governor that he came to bring truth to the world.
The Roman Governor Pilate responded by asking Jesus, "What is truth?".
In a movie, one actor made demands on another actor when he said,                                                        
"I want the truth!".  With highly charged emotions, the other actor then replied, "You can't handle the truth!"  Can we handle what is demanded?
That is the question; and if we cannot, 'We thereby fail the truth'.

Peter was not an evil person, but under pressure, he failed the truth.
Judas failed the truth, but he also allowed his failure to bury him.
In weakness, Peter failed the truth, but arose from his grave of                                                          
shame and buried his failure.  We all fall down sometimes, but
too few of us get up.  We all spill the milk sometimes, but too
few of us wipe it up and pour another cup.

Am I void of conscience? Do I have the capacity to lie under oath or in a  vow? An evil intent is not the same as a capacity for failure which we all  have. The Oath: "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing         but the truth so help you God".  The Vow: "Do you take this person              to be your lawful wedded spouse until but death do you part?"

I may choose to publicly oppose what I secretly know to be the truth.
I may choose to be indifferent by not caring or having no regard for the  truth. I may intentionally and with malice, willfully mute the truth by   denying or by lying .

Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Because of God’s tender mercy,

Cockcrow Releases New Story

A baby is born, in the East,
As angels take notice, and beast.
Fates are there in preparatory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

Hell in disbelief sends fury,
Bethlehem’s children to bury.
Sin’s release of inventory,
Cockcrow releases new story.

Gathers Pharisees, Sadducees
To question, impose their decrees.
The blind are accusatory,
Cockcrow releases new story,

At every turn making points.
Then, Christ’s friend, Judas, disappoints.
Thorns, cat of nine tails, cross - gory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

It’s a shame, the funny thing is,
This sacrifice is the Son’s biz,
Redemption’s exculpatory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

Three days in the grave, the tears rage,
Like lion’s den and oven cage.
The kick anticipatory -
Cockcrow releases new story.

The angel bright on ebon rock.
Entire world would be in shock.
Risen life, celebratory -
Cockcrow releases new story.

It would be written, good news -
Believe or disbelieve, you choose.
Sweet breath of heav’n auditory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

At new home’s gate, what lies in store -
Treasures of pearl and gold and more.
Still my heart, the Savior’s glory.
Cockcrow releases new story.

Welcome To a Brand New World

Welcome to a brand new world

Verse 1
How are you feeling right now?
Is there still a yearning in your heart?
You're probably like, ten million or more,
praying for a brand new start

Verse 2
What happened to the world you imagined?
Where justice and peace ruled the day...
Is it merely a dream or wishful thinking,
a fantasy that leads you astray


Chorus
Welcome to a brand new world...
where evil men cannot be found
No reason to fear the nighttime,
a place where you feel safe and sound
This is not just a dream...it's reality,
joy in the heart of each boy and girl,
Welcome to a brand new world!


Verse 3
God has shown us how to love
So why is true peace elusive?
Monsters and imposters hide who they are,
they send out doves with a Judas kiss


Verse 4
It's been about two thousand years now
Praying for God's kingdom to come
Now's not the time to lose patience or faith,
it's time for God's will to be done


Chorus
Welcome to a brand new world...
where evil men cannot be found
No reason to fear the nighttime,
a place where you feel safe and sound
This is not just a dream...it's reality,
joy in the heart of each boy and girl,
Welcome to a brand new world!

Welcome to a brand new world!
Welcome to a brand new world!
Welcome to a brand new world!

repeat and fade

Premium Member Do You Like What You Are Seeing

Do You Like what You Are Seeing
By Franklin Price
7/19/2016

Do you like what you are seeing,
In the world in which we live?
Do you only talk about it
When there's something you could give?

Do you keep up with the slanted news?
Maybe truth with more than more than two
Or surf the net to find someone
Who thinks the same as you?

Is your mind closed as in Washington?
Does your brain think such as that?
Do you chase a goat named Judas
To a place to chew the fat?

If you think that all is wonderful
That the world just works that way
You're contributing to the problems
That are in the world today
