Haiku 2 U
Name of God profaned
Pagan symbols burn on screen
Bad spirit breathes death.
Musical joy grieves
What could save lives now poisons
Masses don't question.
Eighty thousand "kids"
In a stadium at once
Are taught blasphemy.
On top of that crime
More religious lies are told
For the sake of "peace."
Satan pushes lies
He knows they will soon mean death
For those who like them.
Armageddon's soon
Obey God's own words and live
Tell others his truth.
God's Kingdom on earth
With Christ ruling from heaven
Will end tears and pain.
So don't idolize
Ideologies of man
Pitted against God.
They will become loud
They will seem like the answer.
Reject every lie.
Yahweh will bring peace
Those with God-trained hearts will live
Forever on earth.
That day will come soon
There is so much suffering
May you be ready.
G-I-G-O
GARBAGE IN:
"MOCK the Devil, and he will flee from you" - a reckless, spiritually harmful, twisted paraphrase of James 4:7; as found in a fictional book hailed by many "Christians", The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis.
An ACCURATE translation of James 4:7 is this: "OPPOSE the Devil, and he will flee from you." (NWT)
KJ, The Living Bible, TEV, NIV, RSV, Phillips Modern English, the Jerusalem Bible - and more - all likewise use the phrase "RESIST the Devil."
"Opposing" and "resisting" Satan are DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT from playing in spiritism to "mock the Devil", as the FICTION WRITER recommends. Since God's own words repeatedly and strongly condemn (under penalty of death) any form of spiritism - acting to invoke Satan or demons in order to "mock" them is against God's commands and principles. The results COULDN'T be good.
Bono has famously used this "mock the Devil" excuse for masquerading as "Satan" in past shows.
An internet article sampling of a number of so-called "Christian experts" reveals pathetic, scripturally unsupported and mal-supported babble, and stretched-for rationalization of how this can still be something admirable.
GARBAGE OUT:
God's Scriptures proved to be true again. C.S. Lewis' careless rendition, in contrast, has proven to be tragically inferior (untrue): Following Lewis' "theory",
Satan's spirit DIDN'T "flee."
It really stinks.
A quick check of U2's major fan message boards definitely shows that Satan's spirit is THRIVING among many "U2 fans" today, with comments such as this: "F _ _ _ the Bible"; "I'm the bride of the Prince of Darkness"; and much more content displaying gross disrespect for God. At the same time, however, there has been evidence of prejudice against God's words of truth occurring on the part of many - including the "moderators" and/ or even the administrators of three of those websites. ("Satan" emoticons are a popular "giggle" on one of those boards, even though they insult and grieve God's spirit, and both he and Christ have a hatred for such choices showing favor for evil.)
In Dublin, after one of the "Vertigo" concerts, which I attended as an observer-protester, I witnessed a whole string of girls trapsing down the street wearing bright red Devil horns. I also noticed that they were very immodestly dressed. As a mother and veteran observer of teenagers, my sense is that things will not be going well for those girls. What a shame....

A biblical principle is that if someone does something WRONG that HARMS others, they should TRY to MAKE whatever AMENDS they reasonably can, by their conscience (for which they have to answer to God).
It seems to be an easy call, doesn't it? If a person is a global megastar- entertainment hero and they teach of something so spiritually hurtful-deathful; shouldn't they make a concerted effort to RETRACT and SERIOUSLY PUBLICALLY REPUDIATE such a bad example they themself set for masses of people - "put it to rest" - IF they CARE about God and their throngs of often blindly-following fans, whose spirituality and futures are at risk?! (Just about anything "Bono says" is nearly immediate widespread "news" - at least among so many fans - isn't it?)
The "horn" mentality and ungodliness demonstrated at the websites are just a couple of the effects of Satan's spirit that can be seen now, however....The concert blasphemy of Yahweh and Christ as well as the lessons in idolatry through that venue also need to stop. It is an emergency. Armageddon is coming - maybe even millions of "fans" will end up losing their lives then, if they follow the anti-scriptural and spiritually misleading teachings that have been promoted and re-fueled rather than rejected at these shows.
THERE >>> IS <<< ONE TRUTH
Bono: 'Unilateralism before God is dangerous.'
(Quotes from Bono according to
Jon Pareles of The New York Times)
"To have faith in a time of religious fervor is a worry. And, you know, I do have faith, and I'm worried about even the subject because of the sort of fanaticism that is the next-door neighbor of faith. The trick in the next few years will be not to decry the religious instinct, but to accept that this is a hugely important part of people's lives. And at the same time to be very wary of people who believe that theirs is the only way. Unilateralism before God is dangerous"...................
"Religion is ceremony and symbolism," he added. "Writers live off symbolism, and performers live off ceremony. We're made for religion! And yet you see this country, Ireland, ripped over religion, and you see the Middle East. Right now, unless tolerance comes with fervor, you'll see it in the United States."

QUESTIONS: Well, who is wiser; and so whose ideas are superior - God's, or Bono's?
Who do we owe our worship to - our Maker, or Bono?
Who should we OBEY, first and above all others - the Almighty/the Heavenly Father, or Bono?
Since those answers really are...
God-Yahweh-Jehovah,
and since there ARE conflicts between what God's words teach and what Bono has said; we'd better listen to the Sovereign of the Universe - and measure anything a human says against what the Creator's own words are.
God's words are 100% true - they are ONLY TRUE.
Compiled, they comprise >>>ONE TRUTH<<< (Jesus Christ to his Father at John 17:17 - "YOUR WORDS ARE TRUTH.") God has expressly purposed that humans LEARN and OBEY his ONE TRUTH. (John 4:24; 8:32; 17:3; Matthew 24:14; 28:19,20; 2 Thessalonians 1:8.)
Through his inspired Bible, God has informed humans about who he is; what his purposes are; why we are here; how our Father feels about us; the bottom line about why there is trouble in the world now; what God and his Son have done, are doing, and will do to bring relief to obedient humans and set the world right again; what WE NEED to do; etc. God has SET HIS OWN WRITTEN, SCRIPTURAL STANDARDS AND TERMS FOR PURE WORSHIP, WHICH HUMANS MUST FULFILL-OBEY IN ORDER FOR THEM TO RECEIVE THE BLESSING OF EVERLASTING LIFE in God's coming new world/ Kingdom/ paradise earth here. (2 Thessalonians 1:8; Psalm 37:10,11)
All of these things together form ONE BODY OF TRUTH, AND ONE TRUE, GLOBAL RELIGION. (1Peter 5:9; Revelation 7:9,10,13-17.)
God has no truth in opposition to anything he has given us - "It is impossible for God to lie." (Hebrews 6:18)
MANY PEOPLE, however, in wanting to avoid personal implications not-to-their-liking of what it would require of them to OBEY the True God's ONE TRUTH can be vehemenently "creative" in coming up with countless excuses and rationales about why they shouldn't have to.
God's response, however, is that people are INEXCUSABLE for not seeking his TRUTH in his written words and then OBEYING it. (Romans 1:18-32; Acts 17:26,27)
What Yahweh/Jehovah and Jesus had Paul (the apostle) write down IS TRUE then, no matter what any handsome, clever, great singer who has made some wonderful poems-lyrics says.
There IS "ONE BODY...ONE SPIRIT...ONE HOPE...ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM; ONE GOD" (Ephesians 4:4-6) ....and THIS is what we must all rightly FOLLOW.
PLEASE STOP
PLEASE STOP THE BLASPHEMY.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.
IT IS HURTING SO MANY PEOPLE
IN THE MOST SERIOUS WAY.
IT IS NOT LOVING,
TO EITHER GOD OR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
IT WILL NOT PROMOTE TRUE PEACE.
IT PROMOTES DISRESPECT FOR GOD,
AND THUS UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR TRUST IN SPIRITUAL LIES
WILL SOON PASS AWAY FOREVER
ON GOD'S DAY OF HIS HEAVENLY ARMY
REMOVING EVERYONE FROM THE EARTH
WHO HAS REFUSED TO LISTEN TO HIM,
LEARN HIS SCRIPTURAL REQUIREMENTS,
OBEY HIM,
AND HONOR HIS NAME -
WHICH REALLY MEANS:
"HE CAUSES TO BECOME."
HIS NAME IS A STATEMENT OF HIS UNIQUE POWER
AND FULL CAPABILITY
TO CARRY OUT
WHATEVER IT IS
HE SAYS HE WILL.
HIS MAIN REASON
FOR BRINGING ARMAGEDDON
IS TO CLEAR HIS NAME.
IT WILL BE SOON.

Exploding/blowing up ["thought"?] clouds with the name "GOD" across them.
"WORLD" - Creation worship rather than worship of the One who created. (See Romans 1:25 and its surroundings.)
"COEXIST" - A Bono, U2, Bono/U2 idolater - idol/icon recommending ACCEPTANCE of the conglomeration of all FALSE religions and anti-scriptural ideologies, as represented by the symbols/metaphors above, for the sake of [FALSE] "peace" among mankind. The World Council of Churches and other "high-level", etc., "spiritual advisors" to the UN have been promoting this same idolized, ANTI-whole-scriptural, antichrist ideology.
Pagan and spiritistic symbols such as these are being used to accompany the performance of a song to and about "Yahweh"!!!???
Have you no respect for your Maker? You owe him to be careful what you attach to his Holy Name. This must absolutely outrage him. His name and reputation do NOT deserve to be sullied by images associating him with pagan-spiritisic gods and thus the unjust and unholy beliefs promoted and acts done by their worshipers.
Gifts of art belong being used to HONOR the Creator - the Great Artist - NOT MOCK AND DEFAME HIM!!!
MASSES of people are being exposed to this poisonous blasphemy. It is horribly destructive to their spiritual well-being. It threatens their future life prospects too, which depend on people honoring and exalting - not dishonoring - God's personal Name.
PLEASE SEE EXODUS 20:1-7 for a start.
One, Two, Three....... What are you thinking!?!?!?!
