The Reverend Harry Knox insists that pro-lifers are the wolves in sheep’s clothing Jesus warned about, and that we bear false witness.
The not-very-reverent Rev. Knox heads up the largest faith-based pro-abortion organization in the nation, the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC). Churches like the United Methodists, Evangelical Lutheran, Presbyterian USA, and Episcopals, as well as a host of more well-known liberal churches are the composite of this campaign for death in the name of the One who came to bring us life. The RCRC is a shame to the reality of Christianity as it manipulates the truth of the faith.
Knox sends many letters, all in an effort to campaign for abortion rights by asking people for money—echoing the letters of Planned Parenthood, who at least doesn’t use Jesus to fundraise as Knox does. Earlier in December, he sent what was, perhaps, the most abhorrent letter of all. In it, he lamented that abortion access in the United States is so limited now that “it’s as if the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade didn’t happen.” Women don’t really have a choice, Knox says, when they can’t get to an abortion clinic easily. Sounds like Planned Parenthood, right? But wait! Knox wants you to know that true Christians support abortion. He says:
“[T]he majority of people of faith, and the majority of Christians support legal access to abortion. And so they wrap their anti-choice ideology in something that sounds warm and fuzzy.
“The Christian tradition says that Jesus advised his disciples to, ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you dressed like sheep, but inside they are vicious wolves. You will know them by their fruit.”
Stunning words coming from a man who leads an organization advocating death of innocent children for any reason whatsoever. Indeed, Knox shows us what a false prophet actually looks like. RCRC and its members are the ones actually walking around with fuzzy sheep coats, but underneath the costume is a vacuum that sucks a living life from the womb of a mother who’s been led to believe death is acceptable if she can’t see the baby, doesn’t want the baby. But no, Knox says, we are the real wolves. He continues:
“These laws, and the anti-abortion legislators that promote them, are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They say one thing that sounds very nice, but we know them by their fruit. They want nothing more than to deny women the right to decide to have a child on her own terms.
“They’re telling a lie. In biblical terms, they’re bearing false witness. Where I come from, that’s a sin.
“These false prophets – these vicious wolves – are tearing women’s rights to shreds. And they need to be stopped.”
Sometimes I read words that are difficult to take seriously. I wonder how anyone with a faith in Christ and a belief in the Bible could possibly be blind enough to read a letter like this and nod in agreement or click a link and donate money at Christmas to kill a baby.
The reality is that many believe this guy, the one actually bearing false witness. The witness of Christ is the purpose of His life. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says:
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:10-11, ESV)
The witness of Christ is the reality of giving His own life so that others may live. The witness of the enemy Knox mentions, that Jesus addresses in this text, is destruction, such as that of abortion. This seems so obvious. Somehow to these folks it’s not. Somehow they neglect to see that if Mary were carrying Jesus in today’s culture, many would suggest she abort her baby and go on with her life.
Knox ends his letter with a live link that says, “Click here and make a donation because the wolves are circling and we need your support today.”
I’ll give him one truth in that statement: The wolves are indeed circling. The RCRC is a large pack. And the sheep are back at the manger celebrating life. Just as Knox’s Christmas Eve greeting depicts.
What about the rights of female babies? And last time I checked, women did not get an exemption from the “Thou shalt not kill” commandment.
This dude doesn’t give a rip about women. It is probably men he’s worried about. They might have to act like fathers if they get a woman pregnant unless they can convince mommy to kill her baby.
Reverend Death.
Maybe him and Jack Kevorkian were separated at birth.
6 But whoso shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to fall, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
— Matthew 18:6
also Luke 1:41
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
This shows God sees the unborn baby as seperate from the mother and not a souless object to be discarded at will of the mother.
Speechless...
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[c] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[d] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Reminds me of the propaganda issued by the Soviets.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness...” Isaiah 5:20
What he has to say is infuriating and repulsive, but consider the eternal danger he is creating for himself. It is hard to pray for such a one, but even the Master prayed for those who unjustly persecuted Him, and we must do likewise, not because he's so misguided, but because he, too, is a child of the Most High God but one who is walking down a very dangerous path.
I am not generally a preachy person but the horror of what this man advocates prompted me to post this plea that we pray for his conversion. Thank you.
Knox.....You shall NOT take the Lord’s name in VAIN!!!
Most mainstream protestant churches have been kissing the a$$e$ of the feminazis for years. They put aside all pretense of being Christian churches in order to follow the false god of liberalism.
I have no doubt this approach rakes in lots of dough. There’s big money in killing the unborn, many abortion mills make their customers pay cash.
Does Knox think he can take a few million with him when he goes before the Lord and buy his way out of hell?
This man is from the church of satan!
A true man of God will never advocate abortion.
By their fruits you shall know them...
Matthew 7:15-16
1 Samuel 24:13
Knox’s folly will be grand! He will rue the day he ever thought about corrupting The Lord’s word for his benefit!
When God gives them up to uncleanness, the Holy Spirit is withdrawn. I believe the difference between right and wrong (left) will become greater and obviously apparent as the end times near.
This fraud “tickles the ear” of his followers.
2 Timothy 4:
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
