	REDBEARD	I like the dark side , but the lighter underside is good tooo thanks   Posted by REDBEARD on April 2, 2006 - Sunday - 7:08 PM [Reply to this]

	TiaLola	bravo a million kudos over and over...this piece brings to mind all the vagueness and mind boggling wonder of the parallel universe of spiritual teachings of my youth...the forces that reak havoc within, the struggle, the tug of war.  Thanks for the intensity.   Posted by TiaLola on April 2, 2006 - Sunday - 7:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Ebon Ebon Tatro	I realy like it, however, i do have to say that it kinda reminds me of Dante in a way,but a lot shorter and a hell of a lot easier to understand BRAVO!   Posted by Ebon on April 3, 2006 - Monday - 7:17 AM [Reply to this]

	A Legend in my Own Mind	I find my religion and my beliefs called to account in stark relief Never so plainly was represented such simple logic as you've presented My eyes opened in a simple penning your accusations leave my stable faith spinning So sad the highest Kudos are only two...   Posted by A Legend in my Own Mind on April 3, 2006 - Monday - 6:06 PM [Reply to this]

	Marlynda	Very well written. "It's more of what's within than what you are without"-- so true.   Posted by Marlynda on April 7, 2006 - Friday - 12:02 PM [Reply to this]

	A Legend in my Own Mind	Ok, this is scary... Yahoo news... The jist of it, they have found texts that indicate Judas was the desciple closest to Jesus, and was asked by Jesus to betray him so that he could complete his task...   Posted by A Legend in my Own Mind on April 8, 2006 - Saturday - 1:17 AM [Reply to this]

	Joc Jocelyn Pooler	I like the style of the poem, although I do agree with one of the other people that parts of the poem are a bit forced...I like what you are trying to do with the poem though. however I have to question the theology behind it...it is just me being a picky Christian (haha) but I feel as though Satan was not merely a pawn of God, used to bring about sin and therefore the salvation of man through Christ.   Posted by Joc on April 8, 2006 - Saturday - 5:07 PM [Reply to this]

		Jon/Charlie - Someone mentioned this is like reading Dante, only easier.  That's the point. This is more accessible to the reader. Many forget the Devil (The Reviler) is/was a Fallen Angel, in fact, one of God's most dearly loved Sons of Heaven. Which makes his Fall all the more tragic, as you so nicely illuminate.  This is a very old-fashioned writing style; I think that is one of the prime reasons I like it so much.   Posted by on July 13, 2006 - Thursday - 12:24 PM [Reply to this]

	Mistaken ♪♫♫•♪	The Capricorn that I am always seems to tail up with the letter three. Hmmmm I wonder why said I. :} I enjoyed this poem by saying I see I am not the only one who has thoughts like you. My favorite lines from your writes People never comprehend what's beyond their eyes So now I'm here in all their sin He needed one as I People never comprehend what's beyond their eyes So now I'm here in all their sin He needed one as I People think it's all about Good and Evil but They never seem to ever see Their eyes are often shut   Posted by Mistaken ♪♫♫•♪ on December 15, 2007 - Saturday - 3:13 PM [Reply to this]

	Dan's World	He said to me so I may see as if to prophecy The truth I seek is "men are weak and truth's the only lie" Jon, this is beyond awesome and opens one up to ask the question: What's NOT of God?

	Cliff (FlexWriter)	This is, by far, the most thought provoking of your efforts. I was captivated by it. I believe you know full well my viewpoint relative to this subject, but it is for each of us to find the truth within ourselves within Christ. Excellent work.

	Cliff (FlexWriter)	Sympathy for the Devil? I am afraid I haven't any For it was NOT in servitude that he came to this earth it was his CHOICE... made in disobedience and arrogance just like the millions throughout history... we humans each and all of us doomed to suffer the wages of sin... do not be fooled by the "tear upon his cheek" underneath there is nothing more than a sadistic and hellish grin for it is by deception... manipulation that our eyes are turned away from our Father our Lord and Savior this is his ultimate goal... that NONE of us should find the way into Heaven for he KNOWS he never shall again arrogance... ignorance... envy and pride these ALONE are the things we must attribute to him not sympathy or compassion for none of these would he grant to you loathing and hatred an eternity in torment this is what he would condemn you to but...  do not be so foolish as to think  HE is the cause of your downfall my friend for just as it with each of us so it was with him... the choice alone is YOURS it is not Lucifer who denies the truth which you by grace have been given it is YOU... YOUR pride YOUR arrogance YOUR denial of Christ and Heaven Satan was simply the first of all creation to so choose but it WAS his CHOICE... and for eternity he shall lose the grace which at time's conception was granted to him... above all creation beauty and power  the likes of which shall never again be seen  nor heard all because of his arrogance and rejection of the WORD... so weep not for the father of all lies nor his minions but in humble acceptance of the truth find salvation find forgiveness for it is Jesus who sacrificed ALL not Lucifer... THIS IS THE TRUTH for each and every soul upon this earth for me... and for you   Posted by Cliff (FlexWriter) on June 6, 2009 - Saturday - 5:44 AM [Reply to this]
