[057]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – DELUSION HAS ASCENDED ON MANKIND Delusion, often created through “inclusion”, is a serious subject today because there is so much of it around. All this has kicked off through the widespread media. “We don’t know who to believe,” is a common saying in our days. ...read more

[058]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – DELUSIONALISM CONTRADICTS WHAT’S TRUTH I believe Christians who ignore what is happening in the world are living in a bubble.

[069]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – EVOLUTION OWNS NOT THE WORLD Evolution is a nasty belief for it comes directly from Satan himself, and is a denial of the creation of God.
