Very good questions on belief. Who wrote the books that claim to know... good question. No one knows, but many believe.
Now How many books <-- Remove capital H
Our days here on earth <-- Earth requires a capital E unless you are speaking of dirt/soil. The planet has a name, Earth. Also capitalize Heaven when you use it.

Comment from Janet Foor
Thank you Roy for sharing your belief and love for our Lord. I learn from you and appreciate your wisdom. So sorry you have received criticized for your faith. But doesn't one of the beatitudes cover that and you inherit the kingdoms of heaven. Well done Roy.
Blessings

Hi, Roy. There's no need for anyone with common sense and intelligence to be offended by your poem and thoughts. This is well written and stirs the thinking of all of us, no matter what belief. Good job. Bob

Comment from LanceHill
Very well written. I would rather believe and be wrong (which I won't be) and not miss anything, than not believe and lose eternal life. Just know when you're criticized they will answer to God. At that time there is no way to say they didn't know. "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good."

Comment from humpwhistle
Roy, you know we don't always believe on parallel tracks.
But I think we're both headed in the same direction.
And I think respecting each other's enlightened 'satisfaction' is more important than quibbling over how we reach it.
That someone offended you, offends me. That's all the agreement I need.
You may not be comfortable with it, but I consider myself a Christian Agnostic. Seems like a contradiction, I know.
But my beliefs are valid to me.
Your beliefs are valid to you.
The Maker gave only us, among all creatures, the option to decide. You yourself trekked a long journey before you found your path. I'm happy for you, and champion your right to sing it out.
People who denigrate the beliefs of others don't understand that the ability to choose one's beliefs is a gift like any other.
Not sharing the same beliefs is simply a matter for discussion.
Or that's my belief.
Peace, Lee

Lee, you're an oasis in a parched and weary land. I think we're both journeymen, and although mine is now steadfast, I still have new roads to navigate, I believe that you are, like me, a seeker of truth, and that's all we can ever be. My wish is that all seekers will find their way home! Thanks for your invaluable support and compassionate sensitivity, blessings, Roy

Roy;
-Hello my friend and thank you for writing your author's notes which are very helpful in understanding your viewpoints and creating an underlying factor in reading your your writing.
-Technically your rhyming words were contingent to the meaning and concept of each line therefore making your reading the flow smoothly. Also you rhyming was neither forced nor labored which was also helpful. Also it is very difficult to use Mono rhyming throughout a poem and you have done it explicitly and exceptionally well.
-Your rhyming meter was iambic in your cadence, timing and tempo while helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and very easy.
-The concept and subject matter of your writing was so logistically acceptable and through the use of syllogistic reasoning I was convinced of the truth of God's existence.
-Picture used was very appropriate, complementary and relative to your writing and also I found it a very excellent choice as it pertained very strongly, to the subject matter of your writing.
-I and a few others have stated that why I believe in God mostly is the fact that there's nothing to lose if you don't. I don't believe 100% in this because I've always been a strong believer in God and in His Son. And maybe because I was an altar boy for seven years and strongly close to the my faith. Your writing particularly
enlightens ones thoughts on the subject of God being real. A new strengthen the possibility thereof In any dispute, there of, would be very hard.
-Thank you for sharing and posting this Roy and made a good Lord always be with you.

Hi Roy,
This poem is beautiful and written very well. I really liked what you had to say in your author notes too. I don't understand how some people can be so cruel and to criticize you that way.

I'm with you my friend. I have always been a believer. I was born into a Christian family and I was born again when I was twelve years old. I have always depended on God guidance and he has never steered me wrong. Good poem Roy. :<) Nancy

Comment from Jacqueline M Franklin
Hi, Roy
_ You know, I'll never figure out those who gripe/condemn another's beliefs.
_ It just shows their ignorance to accept that everyone has a right to their thoughts/beliefs--even them.
_ We have a 'so-called' Atheist who married into the family. Has to argue about her non-belief in God every chance she gets when a Christian remark is made.
_ All I can say is the good Lord is a very, very patient Fella. (*<*) Just sayin'
_ Excellent write, my friend. Enjoyed every word of it.
Cheers & Blessings
