Understand....my writing...and public speaking....like most people's.....have various messages....
This is called admonishing...not "poetry"Col. 3:16...Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
I know that cutticism is easier for you...but I perceive that you are able determine...poetry from admonishing.....right?
In the last post....I helped you see your duplicity ...by putting your writing up to the same overly critical standards...that impede understanding
Am I in the Land Of Oz?......Is America Sodom?
That level of scrutiny....is like......"Straining the gnat...but swallowing the camel"....and derail a thread on usury
It's just not appropriate.....and it distracts from the valid point I made about overlooked injustice disguised as good...from on high...eg usury
The point is ...try empathy.... trying to understand why I would even...."poetically" call America....Sodom...?
Jack....why do you think I am writing this....what's my motive?
"The more questions asked..the more the understanding.....and vice versa"....JC Goodman
Based on your post...that BTW....made me smile and like you....
You are still stuck in argument mode....
Because even if I was won over to your way of thinking...
Yeah ..I guess oppressing and creating poor people out of thin air.....is not that bad.....just a work in progress.. see you at the mass murder next week.."
What is it that I have gained?
NOT POETRY...Teaching here.....FYI....The only physical nation that was God's People......Israel...Old Covenant
In the New Covenant....only individuals are blessed by God through Jesus Christ...Eph 1:3
Nations are just legal entities..
You can ask the Lord to bless America....because those who love Him can ask Him anything...
The New Covenant...declares that there are two Kingdoms......one is the god of the world......and the other is God's
The nations are irrelevant for now...God will deal with them in the future....
Psalms 2:8,9...Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.'
If you care to refute this....please use Scripture...otherwise I won't even look at it
Peace...
Why on earth would I want to refute your poetry?
That would be humanly impossible anyway because it would like trying to refute the clouds.
As you gaze up into the sky and look at the ever shifting clouds, it becomes clear the clouds are irrefutable.
Catharsis.
JC, is your poetry a catharsis for you?
Sayeth Webster:
catharsis:
2. A purifying or figurative cleansing of the emotions ..
3. A release of emotional tension ... that restores or refreshes the spirit.
Does number 2 and 3 state the reasons you write your poetry in threads?
Are you a "Catharsistic Poet" on a mission to cleanse your emotions?
Speaking of Emotions.
What kind of music do you like, JC?
Permit me to introduce you to the beautiful Brazilian soprano Carmen Monarcha
singing The Song Of Vilja, its an aria from The Merry Widow.
Click on this link and you'll hear her, and also get to meet Andre Rieu, a man
with an orchestra that creates beautiful music.
Click here to hear/see Carmen Monarcho singing O Mio Babbino Caro from
a Puccini opera. Its quite beautiful.
Link: One more. Here is the world's top tenor, Andrea Bocelli , with
the beautiful British soprano Sarah Brightmen, singing the beautiful Canto Della Terra.
Kick your speakers up, so you can feel this music. Its powerful.
How did you like those three pieces of music?
They say music is the universal language.
Maybe we can communicate through music.
We're not doing so well communicating via your poetry.
Btw, the lyrics to Canto della terra are quite beautiful and uplifting.

Cheers.
