[Free Baptist]

Sounds like the Hegelian Dialectic to me. (Simply compromise on the slip...downward...downward..downward.) Consider me a speed bump on this road.

[Lexinom]

Any similarity to Hegel's thesis-antithesis dialectic is incidental. All people live in the same world. Christians must live in the world yet not be of it. The Holy Spirit has the power to protect the Christian believer - sin comes from the inside, from the heart (cf Ps. 51), not from the outside.

The Anabaptist tendancy to try to construct a completely separate Christian culture finds no support in Scripture. Transformation of the existing culture, through lives, however is the duty of every believer within his sphere of influence.

As applied to abortion, if it pleases the Lord to remove this scourge from the land who are we to question His means?
