What do you believe?

I think it's time for me to lay down some thoughts on what I believe about Abortion.  Some people seem to be confused about my stand. :-)

1) Abortion is wrong.  Not only do I believe this because I value life. I also believe this because God's word has a lot to say about murder and taking of another human life.  This is sin. Period.

2) Will Jesus forgive anyone who has had an abortion?  Yes, provided that they repent.  There is no blanket forgiveness of sins in Scripture.  It is by individual choice to stop what they are doing and trun away from it, giving their faith to Jesus.

3) How do we stop Abortion?  This is a a harder question to answer...because I have no answer to this. For the Christian, we can simply say, "Stop doing this."  Not so much for the non-believer.

A person rightly said that this is sin and then challenged me to find a way to stop sin. Clever, but not so helpful.  Instead of criticizing me I wish that he would have upheld my convictions and offered some solutions.  As  believers,  we should always build up and not tear down.

Ultimately, this sin will not stop until Jesus returns.  Until that time, we Christians must advocate for the unborn. There is no other group of people more vulnerable to the sin of others than these. Taking the life of another is wrong. I do not see any other way to look at it from a Christian point.

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.

What if...a Pro-Life Exercise

What if...?

I've been thinking lately that we really should do more to illustrate the absurdity of aborting not-yet-born human babies. I think I've come up with one that will shock and disgust all...it should underscore this heinous act.  It's drastic and I am sure will emote much hatred...but remember this is just an exercise of the mind...a 'What if' scenarios...

So I'm thinking that most people..even people who are pro-abortion and pro-life, like either kittens and puppies. I happen to love both.  Am I right? I mean, who in the world could hate a cute kitten or an adorable puppy?  You've got to have no heart at all to hate one of those.  So what if....there was a 'clinic' that offered to abort puppies and kittens and it was supported by both private finds and public dollars? What do you think the reaction would be to this? I'm thinking that there would be a great outcry...even by those who are in favor of abortion in all it's gore.

So then, what can we say about those who are in favor of abortion of pre-born human babies and not in favor of aborting puppies and kittens?  A few observations.

1) Such people have devalued human life.  Make no mistake.  This IS human life.  A baby (Pre-born baby or not) has it's very own unique HUMAN DNA.  There is none like it in the world...nor has there ever been.  Ponder that for a while.
2) If such people believe in God, their idea of who God is and what pleases Him is warped.
3) Such people are inconsistent. It makes no sense to me. But it does make sense if what I've said in the first 2 points is true.

One thing is for sure, this is a divisive topic.  However, Christian people and those who are pro-life need to be ready to confront this evil and defend human life. I happen to believe that life is a sacred gift from God.  There are many who do not believe in God and yet can recognize that Human Life is special and should be preserved at all cost,

Where do YOU stand and how will you defend your position. Ponder on these things but I am all for what God said to the Hebrews in Deuteronomy. "Choose LIFE"

Blessings all!
