Some Stuff

 

Another Religious Poem
_______________________

Law
abolished:
not God's
but man's.

You know the ones:
that two kingdoms
civil authority
that the Jewish
and Blacks depend on.

Hadith type stuff too
-like that temple curtain torn
that compromised ethical monotheism
for Christ's liberty-
common law of course
but surviving not is the laws of nature.

What did that law of physics rebbe say?

The Puritan Magic Trick
________________________________

Apostolic Succession and the priesthood,
too much or two little,
as the congregation demands the reservation Reformation:
Undermined Lord's Supper and no episcopate?

Corrupt are these positions —
their stature;
not far above,
nor equal in height.

Even among Local Preachers,
of those whom have denounced the two:
they want,
and in the form of their elders/deacons/bishops/assistant pastors

...and their blood line
--exulted from the congregation—
as the Table's call is made.
The stumbling block..?

Via Media Tale

Where Is The Third Way?
...the real Protestant sort
we'll line up the Anglocatholics and take them to the port.

Off to Rome
heave ho
or back to the college class,
to conceive another insincere theology,
insincere Anglican
or at least half and half?

The Other New Way

____________________

Betterment because

improvements made

with new contempt

or Preterism.


Suffering for Christ

ideally

although 

existentialism.


Paul says by recommendation and not commandment.

"Man A Natural Enemy of God"
___________________________

Murder at the table,
Cromwell will you be King,
Staying in England to ransack more,
others coming to Colonial shores,
with Maryland their co-conspirators,
and a grape juice Lord's cup.

Pope, nope
Just pilgrims wanting their own and yours
Take down the stained glass,
Crosses with figures
and art depictions.
Because pope, nope, you dope.

Hope in the innuendo and hysteria
Anabaptist like,
complete with drowning their second baptism.
Crowning this world.
Selah?

Ticking temporal
as the never-do-wells
Deist/Reform god goes boom!

Pagan Ceremonial Burnt Offering*

"Teachings of contempt for Jews and Judaism in certain Christian
traditions proved a spawning ground for the evil of the Nazi
Holocaust*. The Church must learn so to preach and teach the
Gospel as to make sure that it cannot be used towards contempt
for Judaism and against the Jewish". -Official statement of the Anglican/Episcopal Church.
