You sum this up so well. True religious belief is not summed up by your words, but rather by your actions. My personal philosophy tells me what I need to believe and follow and hopefully my conscience dictates how I behave. If I maintain this attitude, I hope I achieve the entry requirements for the next level. Thanks for this post.

Thank you for a wonderfully uplifting supportive review.
Comment from Aussie
Some say Christianity is the crutch for emotional loss and those who go to Church, are lonely and need to be part of the larger group. The Church is a building, once revered by man. Today, happy clap shows the way. One doesn't need these trappings when we can go directly to the Lord who is listening. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears me and lets me in, I will sup with him and he with me." Humility is the key. K xx

Interesting. While what you say is obviously true and has merit, there are those among us who need to be around others with similar beliefs who are willing to buoy them up when they are in need. Hebrews 10:24, 25 says: And let us consider one another so as to incite to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near. I respect your viewpoint, but there are times when the mutual exchanges of faithful comments can lift a spirit that is beaten down by this repressive system.

Hello nomi, We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Not all recognise Christianity. I believe the Coptic Christians were the first. Once we have given ourselves to Jesus, and asked His forgiveness, all is well. Then our work begins. Blessings, K.

There is neither bond or free, male or female, or Jew or Greek, we are all one in Christ. It is man and his fleshly thoughts about Jesus that will blind the purpose. Thanks for sharing. What color is love?

If love had a color, I think it would be pink. It is my belief that pink is probably the least offensive of all colors. Who could be mad at pink? Thank you for your very fine comments. I have always admired your wise and sensible comments.
Comment from kiwigirl2821
I think I would go a little further and say Christianity? Really? Seems like the faith issue is pushed around a lot when there is a disturbance of ideals that people do not agree with each other. I stopped witnessing for a preacher whom I truly liked simply because he did not "open" his church when a hurricane hit his town. As though the people who needed the help the most simply weren't good enough for the congregation. God in my Humble opinion does not discriminate by color or income. Good luck. Good write.

An amazing work, how we look and sound as no affect on the person we are or even the person we hope to become. I find this inspiring and enjoyed reading it multiple times.

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Hi, Friend! What an honest poem! I love the way you took what mankind has tried to make complex, and drew it down to its simplest terms! Too many people get caught up on what things should look like, how people should act, what jobs they should have. It comes down to what you said, are we willing to be as humble as Him?
Well said,
Rhonda
BTW, I published my first book through Publish America. I ended up buying back my rights from them, and rewriting the book here. I plan to republish again, some day. Maybe I can try the one you are with. Thanks for sharing that information.

Thank you so much!!! I even ran my own publishing company for a minute, but found I'm a very poor manager.

As someone who has been struggling to keep my faith strong, this poem was well timed in my life. I thank you very much for writing it. I ask that you continue to spread your light and His will.

I have no choice. I would not be pleasing to God to not tell the truth about him and encourage all who read me to not take my word for anything but to read God's word and decide for themselves.

Hi Naomi, I loved reading your poem as it is very well written. I'm so glad that you have your faith although I can't subscribe to any of it. The bibles were written by some very wise persons, though. All best, Ulla:)))

I am sorry that you do not believe the Bible, as it contains facts that even though science tries to deny or question it, the Bible describes things that later became scientific fact, years before we had organized science or documented facts for teaching in our schools.
Comment from Terry Broxson
Nomi, this is a very well-written commentary. I think poetry commentary is hard to write. But you have a way of making it a conversation a friend might have with another. Well said. Terry.

I did not intend in any way to point fingers at anyone's belief or personal religious practices. However, there are some who wear crosses, and other symbols as devices to identify themselves as believers who are totally false. I thank you for your positive remarks on my poem.
