And God Commanded

by David Pekrul  
9/16/2008 / Poetry

..and he walked into the crowd and started shooting,
saying that God had commanded him to do it.
..and they are told that we are unbelievers and must die,
for God has commanded it.

But God has commanded..
that we love Him with our whole heart, soul and mind,
that we love our neighbour as ourselves,
that we love our enemies,
and do good to them who do us wrong,
to forgive one another,
and to be our brother's keeper.

He said that if someone sins against us,
we are to forgive them seventy times over,
and that vengeance belongs to Him alone.

He said that love is patient and kind,
is not jealous, boastful, proud or rude,
it does not demand its own way and is not irritable,
nor does it keep records of being wronged,
it does not rejoice in injustice, but in truth,
it never gives up, never loses faith,
and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

And we know that God is love,
He not only displays His love,
but He IS Love.

..yet they say, "God told me to do it.",
but what god are they listening to?
