My God Is Not A Icon And As A Living Omnipotent Being Much More Than That Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Breyten Breytenbach)

The Lord Jesus Christ who is God
who is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient,
and omnipresent and who does live as the saviour
that brings light and truth
to a world of darkness

cannot be pressed into a bottle like a jinnee,
like peaces saved in syrup,
as a image that has been flattened,
as a carved image,
a religious portrait
or a Christ-image
or even as a holy image
and the word of God does stand:

"You shall not make yourself an idol
in the form of anything in heaven above
or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
You shall not bow down to them or worship them,
for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God."

God (Jesus Christ)does not keep dying,
did rise by His own power, by the power of the Father
and the power of the Holy Spirit,
He is not suspended and neither his fulfilment
where He does now act as High Priest, as King
and as Judge of the world.

It is true that some Christian faiths and religious leaders
do twist the Lord God (Jesus Christ)tot this chimera,
do interpret the Holy Scripture, as they do want to
and do not read it in context and do not know
that salvation does only come through Jesus
and by His righteous offer,
where they are crucifying Him time after time
where my God does live
as a self-sacrificing God whose love is selfless

and it is for sure true that we are in world full of sin
that does keep on declining
where murder, killing, rape and robbery
are at times prevalent
but still the perfect offering of God (Jesus Christ)
is accomplished,
still He does rule and He and His will is in control

and everything is not frozen like in pure mathematics,
people do change at times,
are beings with conscience, feelings and emotions
and not only biological computerised machines
that is programmed to keep on erring,
we have got an own will and do make our own choices

but this onetime soldier
was forced for self preservation by a government into a war
and into murder and killing and the frustration,
the destruction that it does bring
does remain bitter in my throat,
as I do believe in living and let live
and most people that had gone through a war
are just like this
with the posttraumatic stress that never gets an end
as a punishment that breaks a person's humanity

and the witches-pot with soup are continually inspired by demons,
by the human counterparts stirred and brought to a boil,
and the clouds do bring their rain at the set time
but when man tries to play God
and at "HAARP" try to control the natural cycles
and by this do eradicate other "by accident, "
in our world everything does live and die
people have got pleasure, joy and do experience love
and pain and hatred and death

but away from this world and its restrictions
and its huge rebellion and darkness,
outside the touch of time
the Son of God does exist
where his omnipotence constantly do miracles,
bestow His love and care to billions of people
and in His Father's house there are place for a multitude
when He does return to this grain of sand,
that we do call earth,
to set everything right,
to bring salvation and an eventual judgement.
