False Doctrines l 0 l

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Free will and predestination
Have always gone hand in hand
How can you say God created all things?
But their fate is determined by man

You cannot destroy what you have not created
And you can’t raise them up again
But God can do this and created the Abyss
For those who cannot understand

Now if my theology seems flawed to you
Then God has done just as He planned
God created all things and to them
His life brings the ability to understand

But you don’t have to use it
