There's an infinite difference between those
That are good and bad; for eternity
Separates them both, and endlessly shows
Some burning with shame, and some with glory.
Think of the eyes that with God's brilliance glows
In heaven, and those forever empty
In hell, from where no light and no life flows.
For some have the 'right' to eat of the tree
Of life, beside the river where it grows
The fruit, to sustain them eternally.
Others, being denied it, have their woes;
For by evil works they are unworthy.
But they who have the 'right' deserve to live,
And God must, in justice, life's rivers give.

He he he so you've seen what eyes look like in heaven and in hell have you? Or has someone put an image in your mind? Funny how religious types use fearful images to frighten children isn't it. But their awful practices work don't they and that fear gets deep bedded and lasts into adulthood just your poem demonstrates it has for you.
Fortunately not all believers remain so gullible.
I don't have to see what eyes look like in heaven and hell to know the truth about it. I have the Bible to tell me the truth. God also reveals himself to those who seek him, and shows them the truth. Everything I wrote is the truth of the Authorized King James Bible. This is the perfect record of truth from God. Also I am not a "religious type". You are writing foolishly because if you have something to say against what I have written, then you should provide proof that what I have written is not the truth. But that cannot be done because I know that all that I have written here is the truth. Moreover, there's nothing that I have written here which is frightening to children. It is only frightening, and should be frightening, to those that practice evil. So why are you falsely accusing me and others who speak of the reality of hell? To speak of hell's reality is not an awful practice. Also you are falsely assuming that I was taught about hell when I was a child. I was not brought up religiously and no one made me afraid of hell in childhood. I am not gullible for believing in the Bible. A real believer in the Bible believes in hell. Your comment is evil and prideful and falsely accusing. You are judging me falsely as if you know me, and you are judged by your own words. And your words are hypocritical because you are not a true believer.
Everything I have written here is the truth. You are just spouting off your own erroneous beliefs in an attitude of evil pride, and none of your beliefs can be proved at all to have any truth in them against the Bible. You are full of lies and are writing lies. I don't need to get any facts, because I have the facts. And I don't need to ask a so-called "theologian," because I ask God who knows everything. I get my understanding from God. There are no lies in the Bible.
Nothing you have written here is the truth. I never made even one cent out of preaching, nor ever will make money out of it. It is you that enjoy being blind, not I, and you love your sin. I see very clearly. You have continued to personally attack me and show yourself to be wicked in doing so. You don't know me, and you don't know God, nor the Bible. How can you say I am hypocritical when you don't know me at all? It's not I that have begun with personal attacks. I am only refuting your words and rebuking you for your wickedness. Nothing is shining from me but the truth. Since you don't like what I believe, namely, the truth, then don't read any of my poems. I certainly will never go to read anything of yours.
There is nothing wrong with saying what one is. Just like if someone says he is a physician or an architect. Is that evil to say what one is? Of course not. If you don't believe in the existence of prophets, then that is your choice. However, you can't disprove the existence of prophets.
You have no good reason to write here. I haven't done any evil at all. Your speaking up for "dusky" is also not done in truth. "Dusky" wrote other mocking comments against me, which I had to rebuke. Most of those evil comments have now been deleted, and I am assuming they were deleted by "dusky".
You are proving nothing by your words. Your definition of a prophet is also not correct. A prophet is not defined as one "regarded" as being in contact with a divine being (except by those that don't believe). A prophet "is" one who speaks for God. If you don't believe in the true God, then you don't believe in the existence of true prophets.
Also, I did not say I have made up my own said "perfect record of truth". So you are not quoting me. I believe that the Authorized King James Bible is the true translation of Holy Scripture, and the perfect record of truth from God. I did not say that I wrote the Bible.
Also, the words "religious type" do not describe me. Because I am not a religious "type", and saying "religious type" is a vain or empty use of words. For, a "religious" person may mean someone who believes in evolution, or in anything the person is devoted to as if it were a "god". The word "religious" does not necessarily mean describing one who believes in God. There is one true religion; which is described by James in the New Testament, but there are very many false religions.
There is nothing I have written that is nonsense or evil, in any way at all. Everything I have written is perfectly sensible.
And what kind of image is the one you have published here? What kind of "sense" are you showing with this picture of a gun aiming at me? I don't want continual rubbish sent to me here just because I published a poem.
A milder comment from me maybe - I see it as a true write. There is hell too, I believe, whether a fiery place, or meaning a place of separation from God. I heard the latter recently in an online sermon.
Thanks for the comment orchidee. I just believe what the Bible says about eternal punishment. Jesus used the word "fire" to describe hell; and then there are also the words, "lake of fire" in the Bible. And of course, eternal punishment also means eternal separation from God.
This is so, Richard. There are parables, etc, and we know we can't 'spiritualise' it away by saying it's just a story. I know we may not think on that aspect much these days.
Jesus described torment which lasts forever; and some people do not like to accept that reality because they wrongly think it too horrible, or wrongly think that no one can deserve that. However, the words of God are true. For there are some that do deserve eternal punishment, and therefore God has created this destiny for them. Eternal punishment is both necessary and good. For it is the fulfillment of eternal justice. So I rejoice in the justice of God. I rejoice in the reality of eternal punishment, because the loving God is forever glorified through it. Love is glorified in avenging the righteous. Also, I know that for people to hate such a great and loving God, they must be deserving of unending torment, and this reality is therefore perfectly just.
