Some of my online friends insist,
That our planet is actually flat,
But when I strive to correct them,
Man, they just cannot handle that.
Now when you try to present them,
With many solid scientific facts,
They all reveal their true colors,
Even threaten with a verbal axe.
Oh so many silly lies and excuses,
They dream up in their crazy head,
While they’re indeed so very wrong,
They cast the blame on you instead.
They’ll attempt to turn the tables,
Demanding proof the Earth is round,
While they are the ones who do err,
With no ideas scientifically sound.
They will twist verses in the Bible,
To make them say what was not meant,
Their interpretation is very faulty,
But they simply will not even repent.
Well I will patiently give them time,
As I try hard to change their views,
Yet the time still eventually arrives,
When such absurdity gives me the blues,
So I’ll then decide to just back away,
I gave them a good chance to rethink,
But they refused to listen to reason,
From the truth well they will not drink.
My friends, it’s indeed a sad occasion,
When people knowingly choose deception,
Their pride will not let them back down,
So they refuse to accept the correction.
Blindness will continue to surround them,
While they all stumble about in the night,
Now Prophet Isaiah warned of such people,
Who walk in darkness and yet call it light.
I apologize that I haven’t been able to visit each of your timelines personally in order to leave you a personal note of gratitude, but to be honest, there have just been too many of you who have accepted my friend request, and I do keep quite busy with the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry.
Do you know you are on solid ground?
Are all your beliefs scripturally sound?
To the Bible we must all remain bound,
Because false doctrines are all around.
But to separate truth from Satan’s lie,
Do not trust churches, I’ll tell you why.
Today they teach many strange things,
Weird beliefs that only deception brings.
It is important to adhere to God’s Word,
So we don’t fall victim to ideas absurd.
You need to take time to mine the gold,
Digging out treasures both new and old.
Find a verse here and another one there,
Nothing in this world can ever compare.
Take it slow to confirm what you believe,
Because many voices are out to deceive.
Be led by the Spirit and not by your brain,
As verses link together, a Biblical train.
Once you are certain you’ve got it right,
Hang on to the truth with all your might.
“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45, KJV
“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common . . . Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 4:32, 34-35, KJV
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.” 2 Corinthians 8:9-15, KJV
