Priestcraft

dedicated to Carl

Priestcraft

Fairy tales and fantasies in my early years,
Is what I was given to squelch my fears.
Family was lost and then my direction,
Fell into evil; which needed correction!

Life was a question, why am I here?
What is my purpose, why do I fear?
Religion was displayed on neon signs,
With answers from men; and their designs.

They teach the philosophies of men,
Mixed with scripture; to gather us in!
The warning in scripture is priestcraft I'm told,
Selling half truths, and the" gospel" for gold!

Then with a prayer, the Restoration revealed,
The plan of happiness, my life was healed!
The Savior's path is now what I follow,
While the worldly men echo their hollow.

Agreed He is constant and there are 17 evidences of the true church in the Bible,  I'm so happy you search for yourself ! even some of the Jews didn't read their scriptures and just followed their leader down the garden path into darkness! if you want I can message the 17 evidences. I studied the Bible for years and if you read in Ezekiel,37 he talks about the stick of Judah and the stick of Joseph shall be one in thine hand. Two witnesses so" religious leaders" can't twist the truth to fit a perceived religion and or philosophy . The Lord wants us to get our own witness and testimony! and yes! wise people still seek Him and His kingdom without using vain and repetitious prayer! thank you for your comments and support! all the best! .....................Jim

"Life was a question, why am I hear?" - is it a typo? You must be very rich then with so many gold bars ;))
