The power of faith is something else.
Something wiser than just being wise.
Thorns come down to pierce my skull.
And I let out my power,
through the medium of prayer.
I worship god,
to fear he and only.
That is when I find myself.
How did the son of man,
profess such guilt.
That the greatest purge in human history,
was to set mortals free from sinning.
(But I will always be a sinner.)
And that God's greatest gift.
A gift that does not require heaven...
Nor the pit of a grave.
It is my mortality I speak of here,
that god will seek.
And I fear nothing...
Because god is imperfect. (As I.)
Much peace to nature,
that I have mastered peace.

Love Your Enemies
“You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary? Don’t even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” - Pedro Santos
My rebuttal:
Pedro Santos: my point in the poetry I used is that god makes me imperfect. He can only be perfect. But he instills power in my imperfections. Which is what was I said 'God is imperfect' (because of me.) I can never see god in my image. God made us in his. That's the point. To fear god only. But the message: in that fear of god is to revive your true mortality. Fear of god = reminds us of mortality. (This is a sophisticated/educated view of god in doing philosophy.) So to fear nothing = respecting other's version of god. But if I do love my enemies as you pointed out? I will die for god as a man who fights for my personal affirmation [beliefs]. I am aware that you believe my thinking is a fragment of reality. However, I do believe I prove that my aims are sound. If I test my faith. That is none of anyone else's business but mine? Tell me differently. Religion can be empircally studied. (We know it as theology) Theory based models of religion, I know already. My point? That philosophy is born from religion. The practice of philosophy is not rooted in knowledge. It is rooted in the question of god. When people began to ask, "why do we die" = not "is there a god" or opposed to "is there a place we inherit when we die". We investigate because god made us mortals. And to love my enemy means someone must fight. I consider myself a Templar. To be honest. I think I am not far off from my mission as a reborn Templar. Most don't even know what that means. But, I do. Why do you think I can make myself known for my views without god or my enemies for that matter. I welcome it. But at this stage in history. I have to be prepared. Enemies are what god tells me not to fear. If you feel you are wasting your breath on me. You're wrong. I want to go to Portugal and meet with you. I want to visit 1- jose Saramago's grave or his residential village in Alentejo? 2- Fernando Pessoa's tomb stone. 3 - the famous bookstore in Lisboa? Or Porto? 4 - the famous Coimbra university 5 - and finally the Monestary the Templars built in Portugal. (TOMAR) = I WILL GO TO TOMAR.
