On Abortion

Abortion and the Election
.

Many may see the title of today's “thought” and are so brainwashed and narrow-minded that they dare not read it. The Holy Spirit may put them under pressure to “change”. Heaven forbid that Christians obey the admonishment of God's Word!

.
It's nearing election time now. This is the time when Christians set aside what Jesus taught them, ignore His values and ultimately rebel against their creator. They vote for candidates who are at odds with their own beliefs! Now is the time to restore the values of Jesus in your entire life … not just pick and choose where and when you listen to him.
.
Jesus was apolitical. He didn't come to change the world politically. However, he could have, but that wasn't his mission. His birth, life, death and resurrection was to “save” the world ...everybody! Also, Jesus left with us His expectations so that we could be examples to sinners and to fulfill our own mission to be “fishers of men”. Even today Jesus would not be a Democrat or Republican and certainly not a Libertarian nor Socialist.
.
While we must depend on Jesus for “change” because politicians seek power, that doesn't mean Jesus doesn't want us to influence our society. God for sure influenced the lives of Sodom and Gomorrah! How conducive was Sodom and Gomorrah to righteousness? Not at all! God's law was unwelcome in those hedonistic cites. Pleasure was their God. We should have learned a lesson there, in the fall of Rome, and in socialist Germany, Russia and China. Contemporary Americans are as gullible as were the citizens of those times.
.
I have discussed the platforms of the Democrat Party before. Their platform supports the sins of homosexuality and abortion. The Republican Party supports traditional marriage and the right to be born ...the basic constitutional right to live.
.
I'm going to draw a strong, but truthful analogy without exaggeration. In 1920s and 1930s Germany the dollar had become more valuable as fuel for heat than what it would buy. It's value was around 5,000,000 Deutschmarks to one dollar! Along came a leader who promised “change”. He certainly did. Adolph Hitler changed the world forever! Hitler had a viable economic program, people put aside their principles and der Fuehrer won 93% of the vote. How many votes were from Christians. It would appear that most Christians voted for the tyrant.
.
Hitler promised a chicken in every pot and he delivered ...unless you were a Jew, that is! The economy of Germany revived and they became a world power. After their defeat in WWII Germany became a second rate tributary state with no rights and an economy rebuilt on the shoulders of capitalism through the Marshall Plan. Christians were accused of and found to be accomplices in the death of Jews. Why? Because they did nothing to stop the wheel of National Socialism. They were as guilty of the death of the “parasitic sub-human” Jews as were the guards at the death camps!
.
Today many Christians vote for economic reasons foremost. Polls show that among the majority of Americans the economy is the number one issue. While Democrats have caused the economic turmoil that we're in today, many still see Obama as our economic savior. You may argue the cause of the depression, but if you look for the “root cause” it goes back to entitlement programs and easy money for homes, both Democrat initiatives championed by democrats and monitored by Democrats. Overly zealous entitlement programs create malaise and actually rob the truly needy. Millions of people have lost their incentive and motivation because they depend on the mother sow, the government, to put the feed in their trough! The point is that Christians vote their pocket book and are deceived in even that!
.
God made a deal with Abraham and repeated it many times:
.
Genesis 17:1 “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, 'I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.' 3 Abram fell face-down, and God said to him, 4 'As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5 No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 8 The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
.
A covenant is a sacred solemn agreement between God and his righteous subjects. This agreement is everlasting (it still applies to us) and says that if my people are “faithful and blameless” (righteous) “I will make you very fruitful”. That's the deal! You put God first and God will make your prosperous! For a Christian nation prosperity is a result of righteousness. We can't expect America to prosper if we allow homosexual unions, hedonism and the resultant abortion of unborn children as a result of it.
.
If you're a so-called Christian and don't believe that an unborn baby is a precious life, you know better in your hardened heart! I can quote hundreds of verses which prove that each of these little ones are a life and have souls. The time for “freedom to choose” is when you make the decision to have sex or not! (Rape is such an insignificant number 0.1% that the argument is moot. Life as a result of rape is just as precious as anyone's life and many who are products of rape will testify to that).
.
The election for governor is the first Tuesday in November. There is a clear choice. Current governor Steve Beshear is in favor of abortion:
.
Bowling Green Daily News, October 5, 2011: “Beshear supports woman's right to choose and abortion”
.
According to Beshear “When a woman considers the difficult decision of whether or not to have an abortion, this decision should be between her, her physician and her God.”
.
The quoted statement sounds so democratic and libertarian! Who could possibly disagree? How about the baby's voice in the matter? The husband's? The grandparents? Christians who cry at the destruction of life? Democracy is an erratic experiment often at odds with God's will. It's not perfect! The will of the majority should never be justification for wrong! I've been told that abortion is a woman's issue of no concern to me because I'm a man. How silly! Was the plight of the Jews of no concern to me because I'm not Hebrew! Is the plight of mistreated animals of no concern to me because I'm not a dog? Right is the business of all!
.
Republicans have their problems too, but we are often forced into making less than ideal choices. Republicans stand up for life, God's intent for marriage and actually for the working man (in contrast to only the union man)! If you vote for right social issues the economy will improve. God promised Abraham and it applies to us today! Come on Christians ...have some moral fortitude. Don't be an accomplice to the killing of baby's unborn!
