Array ( [sid] => 182377 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Worshipping Idols [time] => 2016-01-02 16:34:12 [hometext] => [bodytext] => People in the Bible worshipped idols time and time again.
They did it even though doing so was a terrible sin.
People once worshipped Baal, it was one of the idols.
People refused to worship God even though it was vital.

When God saw people worshipping idols, it really angered him.
They had to suffer the Lord//'//s wrath when he punished them.
Some of those people//'//s cities were destroyed and some became slaves.
Worshipping idols was a stupid and shameful way for them to behave.

Some people still have idols, one of which is movie stars.
Jehovah God is watching, he knows who these people are.
The Lord is the only one who people should idolize.
If you worship him, it is a decision that is very wise.

But Lord is not the idol to idolize because He Is Humility without 3 cheeks. Because the verb to idolize signify some fanatical fear and not Love and Friendship. We chould be His friends by all our energys with intelligence without fanatical shadow.

Poet RandyJohnson is very wise not to idolize any movie star(s).

YAWN...

Proselytising and pontificating can make interesting poetry, but not in this case. Maybe if you laid it down with a rap beat?...

It sickens me to see this kind of rationalising of /'/deserved punishment/'/. Old Testament vindictiveness puts you in the same camp as IS. They choose their way, and you hug Yawheh - hey, there/'/s a rhyme for ya!

thank goodness Jesus offers forgivness for ALL sins. Maybe take some time to read and comment on some of the other talented poets work on here. That is part of the beauty of art, seeing something through someone else /'/s words,story .
