Man, you're out of hand.
What's your plan?
Trying to make yourself look good
at the expense of others.
Making yourself seem better
to the dismay of your brothers,
dude, you're a trip.
That's a sin you say,
your grin gives way
the true meaning behind the proclamation.
The only explanation for your violation
of common bond is self preservation.
Tell me, Preacher man, are you afraid to die?
Are you scared that the sky is empty for you?
If that were true, then God has come through.
That's what you get
when you let
your rightous views confuse
your shady teachings
to all new meanings
and turn your back to the world.
When you confuse your word for God's,
he'll deliever you unto our hands,
then we'll see who's godly,
Preacher Man.

Preacher man.
Man, you're out of hand.

That's a sin you say,

its not about what they say, its about what he says.. its about the book. the book is truth, and his truth is his love.. and it is eternal. unless you believe like a child, you cant get into the kingdom of love, because love lays down its life for others, and to die to yourself you have to humble yourself, be those who do that, the Lord himself will raise up in glory. he is safe. his love is greater. it is greater than your doubts, its greater that your fears, its greater then these jars of clay we walk around in.. he made you with free will, but your really only free if you choose him, and stay close to him, because, quite simply he is freedom. everything else is an illusion. only his glory can fill you... to the point where you will overflow and giving wont be a chore, but natural.. just open your eyes.. see.. hear, know in your heart, and his blood will save you. may he bless you will true wisdom and knowledge.

Wisdom and discernment are sadly lacking in spiritual matters, resulting in false prophets and leading to the kind of frustration and anger you have expressed in this write, well written
