Don't Fool Yourself - or Try to Fool Anyone Else: God's NOT Going to "Listen"
Bono, U2 -
You are still actively putting out MASS-BLASPHEMY of Jehovah/ Yahweh and his Son to the world - especially your throngs of fans (which include FALSE religious "leaders" and other people of "power").
FALSE "Christian" fans of yours, on message boards, are already shouting praise for your use of bits of scriptural allusions and metaphors in your new songs; and are scurrying to rationalize how it is that your use of them fits within the structure of their belief systems - which are already comprised mainly of man-and-demon made philosophies, interjected with bits of Scriptures which have been mostly extorted, contorted, and misapplied (so as to support their spiritual lies).
I do think some of your fans are nice people though - people who deserve better than to be spiritually misled to their eternal death, come Armageddon Day. They've been misled by FALSE religious leaders already. You've made a lot of "noise" about seeking "something better", and have encouraged people to do the same - so you've gotten the attention (the hearts) of some of those people still "in" false religions, but seeking "something better" too.
Then what did you do. What did you pick? Who did you choose to "listen" to? And then what did you proceed to teach, by mass media?
"ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH" - right? Anything but scriptural truth, because that's not very popular (its not fornication, nationalism, materialism, and spiritism (etc.)-accomodating).
Your blasphemous, still www-popular "U2 Yahweh" video teaches a whole lot of CREATION WORSHIP (again, one of the warnings against that at Romans 1:25 and its context) amongst its other images of paganism, spiritism, and advertisements for antiscriptural religions.
Did the atheistic/pagan/spiritistic/agnostic/melting-pot goo of spiritually aquiesced-sold-out FALSE religionists/money-and-or-fame-and-or-politically empowered conglomerative efforts of all such persons raising-up and exalting CREATION WORSHIP IN PLACE OF YAHWEH [JEHOVAH] and his TRUTH not deliver "the goods" - the "social justice" relief, "end" of "extreme poverty", etc. that the conglomeration (of "one") boasted it could do, if persons would only just LEAVE BEHIND THE TRUE GOD'S OWN SCRIPTURAL STATUTES????
Of course that conglomeration couldn't "deliver", because its elements were corrupt. Satan still rules this world, too; and its really all he cared about - that as many people as possible be turned away from Jehovah [Yahweh] and from following his actually life-and-world-bettering and life-saving scriptural truth.
"All of this, all of this can be yours/ All of this, all of this can be yours/ All of this, all of this can be yours/ Just give me what I want, and no one gets hurt.(?)" ("Vertigo" lyrics - loosely paraphrasing the Matthew 4:8,9 situation of Satan tempting Jesus with "all the kingdoms of the world and their glory", and saying, "ALL THESE THINGS I will give you, if you fall down AND DO AN ACT OF WORSHIP TO ME" [Satan]. PLEASE REVIEW Jesus Christ's GOD-LOYAL, integrity-keeping response at Matthew 4:10.)
Satan HAS gotten what he wanted, however, through persons failing to copy Jesus' example. You (especially Bono) - via globalized mass-media, the power of heart-permeating music, idol status (to many), and more - have helped Satan significantly. (Your band and "people" shared with you in doing that too.)
People should expect continued "talk" though - "talk" of how man can still make things all "right", WITHOUT needing the Creator of Heaven and Earth's assistance, or OBEYING HIS DIRECTIONS. People should EXPECT to hear their fellow men [falsely] proclaiming that they've even achieved "peace and security" for the world, or that its within their grasp - WITHOUT needing to submit to the Rightful Universal Sovereign and HIS commands, principles, and purposes.
But then, by the same prophecy they're fulfilling (1Thessalonians 5:3), people should expect Armageddon (God's Day of Righteous Anger) to be soon (or even immediately) upon them, for their warned-against rebellion against him.
So far, the "old world" way of thinking (God-insolence and defiance, even "in the name" of Him or his Son) hasn't worked out, has it.
So what is it "time for"????
A turning back to "God" and "spirituality" again - even involving selected bits of his Scriptures in songs some more? What god do you think you are invoking, even as you use those scriptural bits?
Yahweh/Jehovah? NO, HE'S NOT LISTENING, because, you see, you are still a criminal-at-large AGAINST HIM - YOU ACTIVELY MAINTAIN BLASPHEMY VIDEOS AGAINST HIS NAME, FACE, SON, PURPOSES/TRUTH, and scripturally-described people/messengers of his biblical truth to the world. (Proverbs 15:29; 28:9; more)
YOU ARE STILL THE GRAND-CONDUCTOR OF A GLOBAL BLASPHEMY-FEST, with many of your IDOLATROUS fans - especially FALSE "Christian" ones, though witches, atheists, and other spiritists are also fervently involved - using the "opportunities" you have created for them to rip-down, violate, blaspheme, and (even outrageously) slander the Person of God; his Holy Name; his Son; his scriptural TRUTH and the one true global religion/"people" that forms; and Jehovah/Yahweh's spirit (power)-and-purpose-backed, God-obedient, truth-preaching actions of his people. Such "fans" of yours, following YOUR LEAD of showing public DISREGARD for words of God that do not suit YOUR "opinions" (read 2Timothy 4:3,4) DO THE SAME - right under those "U2 Yahweh" BLASPHEMY videos, "U2" music and other music message boards, blog sites, etc.
As stated before, for your showing spiritual support for the leaders of FALSE (anti-scriptural) "Christian" religions - in order to get their support for your religion-as-"social justice" efforts; you have also become a darling to many of them - a "poster boy" and "soundtrack"-music provider - and REINFORCER of their anti-Jehovah [anti-Yahweh] and antichrist "function" in Satan's world system (which is, underneath layers of falsehoods, to defy God and destroy lives).
I expect that some of your "usual" Jezebellian FALSE "Christian", self-proclaimed (but then sadly beLIEved-by-many) "experts" on the [FALSE] "Christian" "spirituality" of your songs will increasingly have another hay-day with your latest batch - overlooking your scripturally WRONG messages seen in them and one accompanying video already - and then perhaps even SELLING more pop-religion books and sermons, and booking more speaking gigs (to their own "glory") based on these thrown-bones too.
Yet, here it comes AGAIN. More new songs. And a new tour...
Remember though, God's NOT "LISTENING". Even if you call Him Jah or Yahweh, he's still going to REFUSE to HEAR or ACCEPT your offerings of songs or prayers to him or about him - so long as you continue to be actively and/ or NEGLIGENTLY involved in spreading and reinforcing BLASPHEMY of God Almighty; and lies and slander against his Son, scriptural truth, and people.
You are also NOT "justified", because DIVINE JUSTICE has NOT been settled in your case for the above, scripturally described and warned against spiritual crimes. Your sins (spiritual crimes) have NOT been made "white as snow", either - because there has been NO TRUE REPENTANCE DEMONSTRATED, nor actions taken, nor speech made showing that you have TURNED AROUND from works of global BLASPHEMY of God's name and teaching and or/ reinforcing FALSE (anti-scriptural) "religion" and spiritual philosophy to millions of people.
SO UNLIKE FALSE "CHRISTIANITY" TEACHES, the TRUE GOD HAS SCRIPTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR "FORGIVENESS", BEFORE HE IS WILLING to apply the sin-atoning value of the hard-made sacrifice of his Son's human life to individuals, to "cover over"/"forgive" their sins - thus "blotting" those otherwise glaring-scarlet sins out, and leaving their impression as cleaned-up "white as snow". (See Isaiah 1:18) CONDITIONS, REQUIREMENTS:
“REPENT, therefore, and TURN AROUND so as to get YOUR sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the person of Jehovah." (Acts 3:19)
To "repent", people need to be TRULY sorry, from the heart (which God can READ, at will), for violating or being negligent towards His scriptural laws, principles, and purposes. Come Armageddon Day (soon), "ignorance" of those laws, etc. will NOT be a valid "excuse" either, since Jehovah IS, as prophesied, having his scriptural blessing/hope and WARNING messages put out to "in all the inhabited earth" at this time. (Matthew 24:14; Ezekiel 3:17-21)
The Maker of humans requires us, rightly, to LISTEN to him and LEARN the scriptural truth about Him and his Son - and what God's will is:
"This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." (John 17:3)
By learning and realizing THE DIFFERENCE between God's RIGHTEOUS, loving, good, just, TRUE and wise scriptural standards and actions -versus- man's largely faulty, UNJUST, and hurtful ones; and also waking-up to the basic truth that Jehovah [Yahweh] IS OUR CREATOR - and so we naturally OWE gratitude, reverence, and obedience to Him (and love - since it becomes clear he is a LOVING Being); willingness to trust and obey God's scriptural ways grows.
Then, on the basis of that awareness (and inborn conscience, and also upon learning what was really involved in the sacrifice of God's Son's human life to "cover for" human sin/disobedience to God), people can become as truly repentant as God's standards rightfully require them to be.
Then, they are able to "exercise faith", in the value of that sacrifice made, by OBEYING God's Son (who taught everyone to OBEY his FATHER [Jehovah/Yahweh the Creator].
"He that EXERCISES FAITH in the Son has everlasting life; he that DISOBEYS the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him." (John 3:36)
People need to "TURN AROUND" from their scripturally-wrong practices and errorsome ways of thinking that "allowed" them to practice those sins.
They need to turn FROM that ~~~ TO, yes ~~~obeying God and being willing to do what HE wants them to do (rather than what any personal desires that conflict with that would have a person do):
"...they should REPENT and TURN TO GOD by DOING WORKS THAT BEFIT REPENTANCE." (Acts 26:20, also see Matthew 3:8)
Yes - in order to have sins truly "forgiven", people need to be aware of how and why what they did was wrong, so that they can be appropriately sorry/repentant for what they did; and then they have to leave their sinful ways BEHIND. They need to "TURN AROUND" and be heart-resolved to do things God's way. Also, by scriptural knowledge, they need to rightly appreciate and "exercise faith" - again, by grateful obedience to God (and Christ) - in the sin-atoning/covering/ransoming value of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ's perfectly obedient human life.
(People are not "autosaved".)
Then, this can take effect -
“Come, now, YOU people, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah. “Though the sins of YOU people should prove to be as scarlet, they will be made white just like snow; though they should be red like crimson cloth, they will become even like wool." (Isaiah 1:18)
.......and this situation can REVERSED -
"And when YOU spread out YOUR palms, I hide my eyes from YOU. Even though YOU make many prayers, I am not listening; with bloodshed YOUR very hands have become filled." (Isaiah 1:15)
.......even this -
"I have hated, I have rejected YOUR festivals, and I shall not enjoy the smell of YOUR solemn assemblies. But if YOU people offer up to me whole burnt offerings, even in YOUR gift offerings I shall find no pleasure, and on YOUR communion sacrifices of fatlings I shall not look. REMOVE FROM ME THE TURMOIL OF YOUR SONGS; and THE MELODIOUS SOUND of YOUR STRINGED INSTRUMENTS MAY I NOT HEAR." (Amos 5:21-23)
Yet, beware, because although "God is love", that LOVE motivates his JUSTICE (and demands "EXCLUSIVE DEVOTION" and so therefore rightful OBEDIENCE to him as well):
(Back to Isaiah, 1:19,20)
"If YOU people show willingness and do listen, the good of the land YOU will eat. But if YOU people refuse and are actually rebellious, with a sword YOU will be eaten up; for the very mouth of Jehovah has spoken [it].”
(That "sword" will come, too - in an even bigger way - on Armageddon Day (soon) - Revelation 19:15,21)
What followed the verses in Amos above, which expressed God's anger and frustration with sin-and-falseness [spiritual lies, idolatry, disobedience, etc.]- based songs and music being put out to him in illicit "festivals" to him (as also happened around a golden calf in front of Sinai in Moses's day)?
This: [REPENT, TURN AROUND......]
(Amos 5:22) -
"And let justice roll forth just like waters, and righteousness like a constantly flowing torrent."
Why don't you exercise that justice NOW by taking the God-condemned, www "U2 Yahweh" BLASPHEMY VIDEOS DOWN???? Your "people" do that quite quickly with other videos you do not want aired. Cut it out of the U2-3D video too.
Then, follow through with an earlier scriptural paraphrase you used - "Oh Lord, loosen my lips!" and TELL THE WORLD HOW WRONG IT WAS THAT YOU BLASPHEMED GOD and left ways open, for so long, for the public mass-slandering of him and his life-saving, scriptural TRUTH.
You are still actively putting out MASS-BLASPHEMY of Jehovah/ Yahweh and his Son to the world - especially your throngs of fans (which include FALSE religious "leaders" and other people of "power").

Get a life.
I've heard that "thoughtful" (that's sarcasm) response enough from U2 IDOLATERS to where I think U2 could sell a lot of t-shirts with that same [eternal death-futured] sentiment.
I'll post a "sample" above.
Re: A last comment someone tried to leave:
How hideous it is to see someone who CLAIMS to be a worshiper of the True God BOW TO Bono/ U2 IDOLATRY, the appeasing of other IDOLATROUS fans, and DEFENSE of FALSE religion that will soon bring most of the world to their death come Armageddon Day.
How glad I am to be free of that bloodguilt. (Ezekiel 3:17-21)
I've done what I do - everyway I do it - for 7 years.
UNLIKE COWARDLY and HALF-HEARTED false worshipers; I don't and WON'T "shrink back."
Anyone who WANTS to become true to God needs to get up to speed with how God's holy spirit is leading those TRUE to him; rather than persecute those who actually follow Jehovah's lead.
To clarify my last comment -
I've been a dedicated and baptized Jehovah's Witness for going-on 23 years now.
I studied for 3 years prior to that. I was born and raised in a FALSE religion of Christendom. Upon learning spiritual truth from the Bible; I left that church, with its overflow of spiritism, bloodguilt and injustice, behind forever.
I have loyally, zealously, and happily preached Jehovah's TWO-FOLD blessing AND JUDGMENT-WARNING messages, BOLDLY when needed - in various ways and situations - ever since my baptism day.
Since that time, I have seen persons who once served Jehovah TURN THEIR BACK ON HIM to serve the "gods"/idolatries of the world around them, just like ancient Israelites did. (Much of the time, too, as in the case of those ancient Israelites, that god is Baal/ sex worship.)
(The scriptural accounts of the idolatry follies of the ancient Israelites are meant to be A WARNING EXAMPLE for our day.)
Over and over again, the Bible record shows that children and descendents of faithful servants of God have turned against Him too. So today also, having parents/ grandparents who are/were faithful servants of God is no guarantee or proof that an individual is loyal and true to Jehovah themself - or will stay one.
Every person must make - and keep - their own good relationship with Jehovah, on his own scriptural terms: They must learn them, agree with them, OBEY them, stand up for them, and preach/teach them to others.
In my seven years of dealing with Bono/ U2 IDOLATERS, I have observed persons who were supposedly "raised in the truth" or who said they have "studied" it, or who claimed to have served Jehovah, at least for some time, FALL RIGHT DOWN INTO BONO/U2 IDOLATRY, DISREGARD FOR scriptural TRUTH (especially the "unpleasant" warning messages), and even BLASPHEMY of Jehovah/ Yahweh and his holy name WITH THE DYING THRONGS OF FALSE "Christian" (and witch/ spiritist, atheist, etc.) Bono/ U2 IDOLATERS.
Some even made their choice to join in persecution with them - rather than stand up for God's life-saving truth. They preferred a FALSE "peace" with the idolaters/ FALSE religionists (even fiercely-attacking, hounding, and slandering demonistic/ demonized and apostate persons) instead. For doing so, however, they have served Satan and his interests, NOT God.
There are those who know what I do and have done with writing work, etc., and it is enough: THEY RESPECT MY CHRISTIAN FREEDOM to MAKE (BIBLE-TRAINED) CONSCIENCE CHOICES in my life of dedicated, whole-mind-heart-and-soul service to Jehovah. THEY ALSO UNDERSTAND and RESPECT, as I greatly do, the principle found at Galatians 6:4,5; and that AUTHORITY TO PREACH GOD'S TRUTH COMES FROM HEAVEN, NOT MEN.
With all that, and full trust and reliance on Jehovah, I let his spirit lead me.
Like Isaiah, to Jehovah, I say, "Here I am! Send me"; and I WILL hold on tightly to and carry along the pearl of ministries I have been given.
P.S. And I HAVE received notes of appreciation for what I've done with the writing I've gotten to do that have made it all "worth it" already. I hope to meet those persons someday soon in God's New World here.
And, again, I would direct people HERE for more information -
watchtower.org
Jehovah's TRUE and loyal (idolatry-and-FALSE-religion-HATING) servant/ messengers deliver a TWO-FOLD message to this quickly-DYING world: BOTH God's scriptural BLESSING messages AND his WARNING ones.
That is where Christendom and those without faith/ those "who shrink back" ["into destruction"] FAIL their duty to God and Jesus Christ.
Christendom's specialty is to seduce people into spiritual DRUNKENNESS, seduce them to SLEEP; and BRAINWASH them to a sickening apathy (lukewarmness) that God says makes him and his Son figuratively want to VOMIT. (Revelation 3:16)
It was prophesied that there would be those who would be seduced into idolatry and other spiritual LIES and disobedience/ disloyalty by Satan's various devices during this last part of the last days - including by way of FALSE "teachers", FALSE prophets, appeals to the wrongful desires of the flesh, etc.
That, of course, IS HAPPENING.
But, some of us are "NOT the sort that shrink back into destruction"; and will NEVER be. We serve Jehovah FIRST, as GOD, and follow the lead of HIS spirit - NOT MEN.
Disloyal, LUKEWARM, apathetic comrades of Jeremiah once told him that they thought he should tone down/ silence his preaching of Jehovah's WARNING messages - that most person did not want to hear - too. Jeremiah - loyal to Jehovah - OF COURSE, REFUSED.
That is a FAVORITE example of mine.
I also love what Jesus once had to tell Peter:
"GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!"
