Truth Or Lie


Must God stay beyond

understanding

His prophecy to conscript

and confuse

 

Are the Trinity and

Resurrection

Both miracles or only

a ruse

 

Building temples to

edification

Storing Icons that judge

and decry

 

Is the Bible fictitious

or sacred

Is Redemption the truth

— or a lie
