What? "This, then, is how you should pray: "`Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name," NIV Matthew 6:9 If God is a He And God is my truest Love What does that make me? Does God make One Love To divide in many ways Connecting all life? Is Father of Christ Metaphor for a man's God Chosen by dark men? Why do we not pray? Our God which art in Heaven Did men choose the words? Or did Christ just choose Words that man would understand In a bondage way? Or, could it be true That only men siring sons Need God's chosen words? If God is a He And God is my truest Love What does that make me? What?

Newell - I think we all struggle with why we are here, and what our purpose is. Hopefully, one day, we are able to find the answers to the questions you purpose. Nice writing. Dave |

Thank you, Dave for dropping by. I know that there are many questions that we may never know the answers too. I raise the questions though to help shine light on darkness. Because darkened beliefs without challenge will continue causing people to slip and fall. Whenever poeple close doors to truth, darkness keeps them from finding the True Light of God. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com Copyright: 2002 Newell Elsworth Usher [This message has been edited by Silver Streak (02-09-2002 05:25 PM).] |

I would say it makes you a follower of God and a believer in Him, Sir. Unconditionally as He would have it for you?  I enjoyed this. I notice you get your verses from the NIV version. I don't trust that version as much as the King James Version I've been raised on, but I won't be too quick to judge a book I've never read too thoroughly either. Enjoyed the poem and your thoughts. I am many. [This message has been edited by Siofra (02-09-2002 06:32 PM).] |

Thank you, Siofra, for your kind thoughts. Yes, I am a believer, called of God to write poetry. Why the NIV. Going back to the Greek and Hebrew sources, it appears that the NIV is less corrupted than the King James Version. The King Jamees translators seem to have added in a few things that were not in the origingal Hebrew and Greek transcripts. My brother, a theologan and an astute student of scripture pointed this out to me about two years ago. It took me over a year to accept his conclusion. So now I use about six different versions but quote the NIV unless addressing questions put forth to me from a different version. Then I always try to use the version the person questioning is using. Thanks for asking the question. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Mushy, darling girl. Your words continue to flow as fine honey to my soul. I am deeply humbled and honored by your very, very kind praise. When you say I am wonderful, darling girl, could it be that you are merely looking into a mirror, and seeing yourself? For, you my dear Mushy, are the wonderful one. I love you sweet Mushy ((Marsha)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
