You owe that to the God you've sung about; and you owe that to the millions who "followed" you because they heard scattered references and inferences in your songs to God Almighty's intellectual property-words-Truth.Your messages to the masses via your performances, songs, and actions as seen through media you have used, however, show that you have mixed unscriptural and indeed anti-scriptural, FALSE religious teachings in with those bits you have used for your hit songs.
Again and again it is evident that MANY people are upholding and defending your mistaken and anti-scriptural teachings ABOVE THOSE PLAINLY PROVIDED by Yahweh/Jehovah in his own words. This is idolatry, and you are the object.
Since you've taken it upon yourselves to be "teachers" of God's words to the masses, you need to realize that puts you in a position of heavy accountability to Yahweh/Jehovah. If you continue to let your throng wallow, flounder, and spiritually drown in the anti-scriptural teachings, philosophies, and practices you have promoted (in an ongoing spirit of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For") - blasphemy; idolatry-spiritism; immorality; non-acknowlegment/denial of God having one body of spiritual truth and one true global congregation under the headship of his one King-Son and mankind's one Ransomer-Mediator, Jesus Christ; idolization of institutions of man or their potential accomplishments as saviors of this world rather than obedience to and trust in God's heaven-based kingdom; ecumenalism of false religions to service agnostic-atheiestic/political/secular-humanistic efforts, etc. - you are going to end up with a SEA of bloodguilt on your heads.
PLEASE OBSERVE what your fans are saying about you. Phrases such as "U2/BONO IS MY GOD", "What would Bono Do?", "The Church of U2/Bono", "U2 and the Eucharist", "In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Bono", "Preaching the U2 Catalog", etc., etc. OUGHT TO ALARM YOU. What also should alarm you and what also is a testimony that such "worship" is very, very amiss is the way such "worshipers" respond with disdain and disagreement towards God's own words of warning against false religion, idolatry, spiritism, blasphemy, immorality, political non-neutrality, etc.
As with other false religions, many of your fans are creating a very loose "church" built on their own desires as well as spiritistic falsehoods. But such a community blatantly does NOT meet Yahweh/Jehovah's spiritual standards - even as some "members" of it openly MOCK Yahweh's words (and messengers); and it does not nor will it prove to be a place of spiritual refuge - either from Satan's fooling machinations now, or during the "great tribulation" coming to the earth soon, which will culminate in Armageddon.
Armageddon is NOT indescriminate destruction of the earth from A-bombs, etc.
Armageddon IS Yahweh/Jehovah's Day of Wrath towards all those alive on this earth who so unrighteously choose to oppose him and his rule - even though everyone will have been given fair warning to change so as to meet God's just requirements. Armageddon will also be God's vengeance/serving of justice upon those choosing ungodliness for all of his holy ones and other faithful ones who have been mistreated and/or put to death by satanically-influenced opposers of God and his servants through the ages.
It will also be vengeance/a balancing of justice upon the wicked for all those who have been treated unjustly and/or slaughtered on this earth due to the chosen spiritistic practices of the nations. (Revelation, chapters 17-19)
"There are many here among us who think that life is but a joke"; * but this is not a light matter, this is not "entertainment", and
THIS IS NOT A REHEARSALYou were given talents. You listened to the wrong people, and you have misused your "gifts", power, freedom, and voices - because things you've said and done and have boldly recommended to the masses are AGAINST what God's stated will is. Your fans are in a state of imminent spiritual death - which will become permanent physical death at Armageddon - by the city-ful. This tragedy will befall them unless they realize the difference between faulted teachings of men and God's true and vital instructions from his own words.
Do what Paul and Barnabas did when crowds tried to wrongly worship them as the gods Zeus and Hermes. (Acts 14:11-18)
SPEAK UP - DO WHAT YOU CAN TO CORRECT THE CROWD GATHERED AROUND YOU, IDOLIZING YOU.
DO WHAT YOU CAN TO DIRECT THEM TO TRUE WORSHIP OF THE TRUE GOD INSTEAD.
YOU OWE IT.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.
IT IS "MAYDAY", for you, your "crew", and your passengers; along with the rest of this world, "Captain."
