I Believe In God

a Guardian Angel -

Dear angel ever at my side,
How lovely you must be---
To leave your home in heaven,
And guard a child like me.
When I'm far away from home,
Or maybe hard at play---
I know you will protect me,
From harm along the way.
Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you are near.
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I really cannot hear.
When I pray, your praying too.
Your prayer is just for me.
But, when I sleep, you never do.
Your watching over me.
Psalm ~ 91: 11-12
AdamAPAD
Psalm 91:
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Revelation 22:
18 ¶For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

People can make up any poem they like in praise of God.. it is good for people to express themselves and speak their own words.. I have no problem with that.. But when they slap a scripture verse onto it giving the false impression that they are quoting scripture then i do have a problem with it and i will stand up for the purity of scripture and give warning of the curse that is contained in the Bible as a warning to those who do this kind of thing... They can deal with the warning as they deem fit.. and sunnyflower has delt with it with pride not repentance.. So be it, I have done my duty. I have given a warning..

What a load of pompous uncaring didactic nonsense.

Sunnflower made it clear immediately that her poem was based on the Psalm and not a quote.

It is not possible in EP to edit a post otherwise I am sure the small print error would have been rectified.

You are cruel and uncaring in quoting threatening verses outside the verses of the Psalm the poem was linked to.

Instead of persecuting a young women why don't you deal with the men from Christian Domestic Discipline. Sunnflower cause to be grateful for her guardian angel helping her escape from a sect based on misuse of texts from the Bible.

My Rainbow Jesus would have supported Sunnflower's understanding of the meaning of compassion and care in real life in comparison with your theoretical cruelty.

AdamAPAD you appear as an uncaring bully because some may see you in the image of the god you try to promote.

You are IMHO guilty of religious trolling.

Guess you and your followers could be the reason for so many people on EP declaring themselves to be atheists!

@ AdamAPAD

You obviously do not know the meaning of omnipotent.

Voltaire covered this with great thought in "Candide" but you may not be a reader of French classical literature.

If you read and understand that novel you will appreciate your contribution here is somewhat uneducated.

My religious consultant advises me that this is not Psalm 91:11-12 but a poem based on the concept of guardian angels set out in that Psalm

Did I mention that psychological profiling suggested that I should complete training to wear a dog collar - hence checking the facts :)
Seems to me a might end up giving the collar to someone else rather than wearing it myself :)
Your thoughts passed on to M

Could I be your guardian angel even if an atheist one?

Agree - the more understanding of beauty we can share between different religions and those who are not religious the better we can work together to create a better world.

Wonder if there may be a similar text from a different religion?
