A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God the Father.

may not be any system of time we understand but a system nontheless

Calm your tits, he was trying to explain something to you!

sorry but the bible implies god is not timeless. a day to god is like 1000 years and 1000 years like one day. therefore hes bound by time.

I have a cell phone suitable for the entertainment. Waiting for it now.

Dangaling on a cross? How gay. Dangaling means hanging loosly. Jesus was nailed to a cross, so he wasn't "dangaling" from it, you stupid religitarded dangaling dick.

[PYFTIME]

Love his point of view. this is a very good poem and maybe even life changing, or life saving. Either or, his words are powerful. many religious people have this saying, and im saying this to all you people who are arguing about the condiments you choose to label as Religion... If this message did not touch your heart in any way or form... THIS MESSAGE WAS NOT MEANT FOR YOU AND WAS MEANT FOR SOMEONE ELSE.... YOU GO BBALL1989

Then please make a more sophisticated criticism of the proposed timeless, spaceless, metaphysical being that could have create the universe. Something better than comparing it to a physical object that apparently has metaphysical qualities.

[Stacy Larness]

ARRRGGGGGGG!!!! That's the exact opposite of the point you're supposed to take away from it.
