What do you think of this poem Atheists and Christians?

Question

If God made me an Atheist who would I be!
I could not believe can't you see!
How can I go to hell it was God's call!
Is it my fault that people think I will fall!
Listen Christians It was Jesus who chose you!
If you think it wasn't than you are a fool!
I am making a point can't you see!
To be who God created you to be!
There is a reason why people who they are!
Have you learned that or haven't you got that far!
I am trying to say it's not our choice!
Read Romans chapter 9 it will voice!
How can you tell the potter what pot to make!
We have to live our life and not be fake!
That's not to say witnessing is bad!
But without compassion it is sad!
God could make anyone who He wants them to be!
Because it is His choice now can you see!
The End!

Romans 9 verse 15 For he said to Moses " I will take pitty on anyone I wish".16 So then everything depends not on what man wants or does but only on God's mercy.

Do you think I was born in a turnip truck you lovelys I know the Bible but I try to use it as little as possible because it is stamped in my heart.

Here are some other verses that just came out of my heart.People May plan all kinds of things but the Lords will is going to be done.God is in control.Jesus said you can do nothing without Me.

I am a born again Holy Spirit filled Christian and all the glory goes to jesus my point was to show you that it is God's choice who you are.Our choice is if He calls us are we going to give Jesus are all or are we going to be lazy or scared to do what he says.I have been whipped beaten tortured and chastised but that aint nothin.I hate boasting thats all crap.I want to try and give a little light in a dark world and show people that do not believe what you are going through there is a reason for it.Just a little love and hope what is wrong with that.

Answer 1

I think its a poem.

Answer 2

Umm... how exactly do you know that there is a god? Because it says so in a 2,000 year-old book? Lots of books have said lots of different things. Why believe one and not the other? Why not believe in Superman too?

Ah, but since you are a Christian I won't argue the point any further. I respect the fact that you've written a poem. All in all, you've done a really good job! My advice is not to use exclamation points because they take from the gravity of the words themselves. Rhyming is nice at times but certainly not necessary. Often, trying to rhyme just makes for awkward sentences, like the "now can you see" in the last line. I agree that witnessing is not necessarily bad and that without compassion it is quite sad, but I feel you've contradicted yourself. You speak of compassion yet you call those who don't believe as you do "fools". That automatically disqualifies the term in the reader's eyes. A reader cannot truly relate to a writer who contradicts themselves, whether it be for the purpose of rhyme or because they aren't following their own advice.

You may not agree, but Romans, chapter 9 is much the same to me as "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory", chapter 2. I respect your views. I hope you can in turn do the same for mine.

Keep writing! You're doing quite well thus far!

Answer 3

Hi CIndy. Well, I understand completely what your saying. It is not for anyone to judge you but to encourage you and care about you. You never know why God has allowed your heart to stay hard towards Him or unsure. Maybe He really wants to see how deep you would go to truly find Him? He may use you for a very big purpose in your quest. A lot of people need God and a lot of people have the same struggles as you.

A great book you may be interested in researching is "The case for Christ" by Lee Strobel and also "The Screwtape letters" By CS LEWIS-this is awesome and a classic, you'd love it!

I truly enjoyed your poem. It was real, and heart touching!! You should keep writing and journaling as you go thru your journey. Great job!!!!

Answer 4

As a believer in the spooky,
Can't you see,
You're denying the entire "true"
Experience of "reality..."
You're assuming that something made you
And you're right...it was your parents...
Long ago in the month of June
Listen Christians, it's all about right behavior
Not some bizarre, manic depressive creator
What I'm trying to say is, it is YOUR choice...
And only you can speak your own voice...
If something spoke through me
Telling me to accept some unrealistic mission
I'd kick IT's cosmic ****
For not asking permission
Love and compassion are human inventions
Don't take that credit away from yourself
With primitive, superstitious conventions...

Answer 5

interesting poem, i could have favorite to have study it particularly than to have listened to it. i'm an atheist, I have not have been given any concept in any gods. i comprehend the way many to maximum persons use the term agnostic, yet its definition is that an agnostic ideals/thinks that it somewhat is impossible to renowned if a god exists or no longer. this could be real for some god or gods, even though it somewhat is obviously no longer real with regard to the Abrahamic gods or maximum others that human beings declare to exist. those gods have been claimed to effect or work together with the international in one way or yet another and this means tat there must be some type of evidence and evidence means which you would be able to benefit expertise. i could respond to #2 by employing pointing out that that "Christian" has no longer theory approximately his faith very lots and that they for sure don't comprehend the alterations between what they suspect and what their faith teaches or the effects of the two. further, existence isn't a "blessing", it somewhat is only existence no deity in touch.

Answer 6

To answer your question directly, "Not much."

The Bible doesn't say that people are "chosen" to be Christians. If you actually read the context it is referring to the call to the priesthood specifically in most cases, and never refers to the call to God.

Your poem sounds like a little child telling it's parents that it refuses to stop wearing diapers because that's all it knows and it refuses to change. "I want to be what I was 'made to be'."

The Bible makes it very clear that each man has the choice for himself, God will respect the descicison you make, and you are stuck with the corresponding consequences.

Answer 7

Far too many exclamation points and not much reason. First you say we HAVE to choose Jesus, then you say we have no choice. How can we tell the potter what to make? Well, if I'm hiring him to make pots, then I better be able to tell him. If God made me how he wanted me to be...then I am okay just as I am. Apparently I have to choice in it whatsoever. So love me as I am, because I cannot be fake and this is it...can't you see?

Answer 8

However well versed the poem may be, it is inconsistant with the Word of God. The Bible says that is is not His Will that any should perish but that all should have eternal life and that He wish above all else that we prosper and be in good health, even as our soul prosper. So we are the maker of our own choices. He gives us free will. If we want Him in our hearts even when we don't believe, all we have to do is ask Him in and He will come in. But if we just want to do what we want to and not acknowledge Him and make excuses because we don't, He leaves us to our own devises. May God Bless U.

Answer 9

God did not make you atheist and he did not make us christian.
It says in the bible that he gave us free will so that we may choose. If he made you an atheist and made me a christian then that is not free will because we would have had no choice in the matter and I made a choice to accept his precious gift.

Also if you think God made you atheist then you admit that God made you which means you admit God is real so you are not an atheist.

Answer 10

Hello,

The poem is well done but
I'll answer this poem with a poem:

About Paul being brought before the Roman governor by angry Jews and Pagans

Gallio's Song


And Gallio cared for none of these things. -- Acts xviii. 17


All day long to the judgment-seat
The crazed Provincials drew--
All day long at their ruler's feet
Howled for the blood of the Jew.
Insurrection with one accord
Banded itself and woke,
And Paul was about to open his mouth
When Achaia's Deputy spoke--

"Whether the God descend from above
Or the Man ascend upon high,
Whether this maker of tents be Jove
Or a younger deity--
I will be no judge between your gods
And your godless bickerings.
Lictor, drive them hence with rods--
I care for none of these things!

Were it a question of lawful due
Or Caesar's rule denied,
Reason would I should bear with you
And order it well to be tried;
But this is a question of words and names,
I know the strife it brings.
I will not pass upon any your claims.
I care for none of these things.

One thing only I see most clear,
As I pray you also see.
Claudius Caesar hath set me here
Rome's Deputy to be.
It is Her peace that ye go to break--
Not mine, nor any king's.
But, touching your clamour of 'Conscience sake,'
I care for none of these things.

Whether ye rise for the sake of a creed,
Or riot in hope of spoil,
Equally will I punish the deed,
Equally check the broil;
Nowise permitting injustice at all
From whatever doctrine it springs--
But--whether ye follow Priapus or Paul,
I care for none of these things!"

Rudyard Kipling

Answer 11

In the world of poetry it is not very good. Sorry. But you did ask. Now, in the world of Christianity it is still pathetic, particularly since the reasoning within is completely inconsistent with the TOTALITY OF SCRIPTURE, which states that God has written Himself into the hearts of man [All of mankind]. It is man in his God given freedom to choose, who chooses to deny this truth or embrace it.

In the case of Pharaoh, God, being all knowing, had the foreknowledge that Pharaoh, being the stubborn fool he was would never humble himself to repentance, but God raised Pharaoh up anyway that God's name might be glorified in spite. (See Romans 9:17)

How was God's name glorified through the raising up of such an evil man? Well, for starters we can look at Pharaoh's life as a mirror to our own and we must ask ourselves whether we might share any of the same character traits as Pharaoh, which obviously God does not find favor with.

We can also look and see through Pharaoh's pigheadedness that God was ever so patient, giving him chance after chance after chance, but that God can at any time remove his hand from us and harden our hearts forever if we continue to shun the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

We can also see through the persecution of the Jews that God allowed them this suffering to also bring about repentance.

***Are we are so hard hearted a people that God will allow any amount of suffering, if that is what it will take to break us and save us from our own stupidity, ignorance and selfish will.?

In God's infinite wisdom He knows who is going to break and come to Him and who will never break in spite of 10 plagues, even! Pharaoh's life for us is like having an older brother who really screwed up. As the younger siblings, we should look at his mistakes and long never to make them for fear that the Lord might also turn from us and harden our own hearts once and for all, for all eternity.

This is how God glorified His name by raising up Pharaoh in spite of His knowing full well that Pharaoh would never repent and seek His face. And if anyone takes issue with this, our God, our Creator of the Universe, then I pity their pride, because this is exactly where Satan started out, questioning God's perfect will. This is where Pharaoh started out, questioning God's perfect plan, thinking himself to be a god. I would never want to be in either of their shoes and I pray I never will.

God said, "...I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts."—Hebrews 8:10.
