God's Image! Poem by Eric Cockrell

God's Image!

Rating: 3.0


if you are created
in God's image...
i'm not sure i like your God!
or at the very least,
not His actions!

salvation, and capitalism,
are two seperate things.
compassion does not kill,
does not starve,
does not enslave,
does not abuse!

you speak of Satan,
and his cruel horrors.
perhaps he is your god!
that would explain the
blood on your hands!

The poem strongly presents your views in very emphatic words - although I find the premise and conclusion quite debatable. Man was made in the image of God -true. But evil through sin marred that image and produced monsters. Christ came to restore us back to that image and in faith for His work on the cross we ARE restored and change back slowly but surely by the Grace of God. He did that because of His great Love for us.

You and I hv similar views on life's issue my gud man....i am a christian and I believe God made my soul in his image. Bt i believe God neva called us to be a christian, a muslim, a jew or any other countless religion there. No, God only called us to luv him and to luv one another...thats all. Alas, religion has divided man the most, and has killed more lifes than a nuclear holocaust...its sad...nice poem please read my poem.....written at midnight hour....thanks for sharing
