Hey, Texas. I remember you on an earlier Terri thread today. You said something about how you are strongly prolife, but seeing FReepers make sharp comments to posters (like you, or Jorge-ED) had completely turned you off from being prolife. I'm sorry your convictions aren't strong enough to tolerate pixels on your monitor.

Thank you for your attempts at insulting me. You suggested that I am not committed to life. Your suggestion is incorrect and a mischaractrization. You have no idea how committed I still am to life. However, I am not committed to nor do I trust the pro-life MOVEMENT. As a christian, my trust is not in men or human institutions. My trust can only be in the God who alone can enlighten and change men's minds through the power of the gospel.

I have a good friend who was heavily involved in Operation Rescue for years. Many of the people involved had personal lives that are still an absolute wreck. They were so commited to the cause their families were destroyed. They got involved in a lot of destructive attitudes and behaviors. They made alot of vicious senseless attacks on people who were not yet wholly converted to their cause. As a result, many lost any resemblance to the God-loving christians they used to be. They acted, in many ways, like godless Marxist revolutionaries.

Likewise many of the freepers posting on these threads appear to behave immorally or amorally, feeling no need to treat their neighbor with respect or dignity demanded by scripture. Jesus, in commenting on the command not to kill, said that if any hate his neighbor or calls him an idiot, then it is as if he had commited murder. Isn't it odd that on a thread committed to the preserving the life of a woman, people are murdering others in their thoughts?

Political movements stand no match for the power of the Devil or the depravity of the human heart. Only the inward illumination of men's souls will ultimately change the culture of death that we live in. Legislative victories, presidential elections, court nominations will do nothing in the end. If all women today saw that abortion was a moral impossibility, if doctors and nations recognized the sanctity of all life then it would not matter how many judges or democrats or liberals were in favor of abortion or euthanasia. Judges and democrats cannot stand in the way of converted people making moral choices from an enlivened conscience and a regenerated heart. But the only way this can ever truly occur is by the sweet work of the Holy Spirit.

That influence is irresistible, my friend. It can certainly withstand the onsluaught of your pixels.
