WHY DOES GOD APPEAR SO MEAN?
TruthInConviction ^ | Dec 31 | J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Posted on 12/31/2009 4:16:58 PM PST by freedomyes

“Grant, I wonder if you are a football fan? Just because, if so, I hope you're demanding to the team ownership that the whole team should be put to death immediately. After all, a literal reading of the Bible does tell us that anyone who works on Sunday should be killed, right? And you've apparently linked belief in Christ with blindly following everything in the Bible.”

You dehumanize the baby and the baby’s right to life in order to render its death more palatable to yourself.

But the baby is fully human, does have a right to life, and so there really isn’t any justification for allowing any baby to be killed by abortion or by any other means.

Consequences for individuals should be based on the actions of those individuals, not based on the actions of the ancestors of those individuals.

Such is your claim. Natural Law has taught me well to demand your sources and then to double-check them for the inevitable inaccuracies.

Used to this day by the head of the Roman "church": the pope

According to the article, the first Pope to use the title was Leo I (AD 440-461), long after it had taken on a secondary meaning "priest."

The idea that it has been in some kind of continuous use is a lie.

Why would any pope take on the title of leading souls to SATAN?

But they do not. You are lying.

The title “pontifex maximus” literally means “chief bridgemaker” and in Latin usage came to mean “chief priest.”

Satan does not enter into it.

In a very simplistic Way but profound...mothers generally are called to protect their children not murder them..are they not?

If they choose, by their own free will and choice to do otherwise it’s more than foolish to blame any other than the one who made that decision....as well as those whose hands do the deed.

You can take me for an idiot if you like, but that would be psychological projection of the highest order.

"Why would any pope take on the title of leading souls to SATAN?"

I think someone has been drinking the bong water and had mixed his historical sources and ancient fiction (again). In Dante's Inferno it is Phlegyas, not a Pontiff, that escorts Dante and Virgil across the River Styx to Hades. I swear I can hear Jimi Hendrix's Watchtower when I read Uri’el-2012's posts.

First fault goes to the one who made the decision.

Second fault goes to any who could have stopped it and did not .

Really?

Your and my physical bodies were consequences of the decisions and actions and behaviors of our parents. Do you really think your parents are that cruel?

Before Christ we were so steeped in the sin and He had to deal with the problem directly Himself.

Looks like we are still steeped in sin ...

Much easier than applying your same criticism to your post.

There were two seperate occasions where I was directly involved with individules on the fence of aborting or not.

Never in my life, then or sense, have I seen such a battle for life....from the perspective of good and evil forces being played out on the hearts and minds of those involved and close to these individuals. Distinctions were so very obvious and clear. Reminding me very much of a war field of opposing enemies.

In the end I mourned the loss....and to learn it was a pastor of this young girls church, and her mother, who drove her to the slaughter house,(clinic)was beyond understanding. Two weeks later the mother of this unborn child was killed in a car acc.

I know well the rage one can experience...and it is surely not equal to that which God certainly holds.

You can fight to stop this onslaught of our children... and I and others have and are doing so....but the forces that be politically and otherwise will not lay down their weapons any time soon.

“Do you believe that an innocent little baby should be held liable for the sins of her ancestors?”

I would not correct God. I would not say He should do otherwise.

I believe God’s word. It says we are all sinners, conceived and born in sin. Because of Adam’s sin, we are all condemned to death.

God does not sin. His judgments are always correct. He knows better than me.

That does not mean it is ok to murder someone. It means God is sovereign, though, and owes us nothing. We are in His debt. We are His.
