I don't know reverend...why don't you ask Mary, the mother of Christ. That example should be the one you let penetrate your heart and preach to your congregation.
This so-called minister is wresting the scriptiures and preaching an absolutely perverted, strong dillusion.
um...
it seems to me that...
IF we insist that a woman can decide, once pregnant, that she cannot afford to bring a babe into the world...
THEN we must simultaneously insist that that same woman can decide, before she gets pregnant, that she cannot afford to bring a babe into the world.
don't want to get pregnant?
don't screw.
very simple, and covers the majority of "unplanned" pregnancies now routinely aborted.
The one where you have to light candles and sacrifice a goat before opening.
What is it about these so called Xstian "ministers" that screams PAGANISM?
Also, the idea that Christians support Roe is idiotic. My 10,000 member church is rabidly pro-life. I would bet that not a single member supports Roe. Perhaps it is the lame brain liberal churches that harbor these vermin.
Sorry for the rant. This guy just struck a nerve with me.
WOW! That is an amazing picture.
That's what Sweetwater Post-Natal Abortion Clinic is for.
Of course they support "choice", but choice and abortion are two very different things, and they are linked only in an insideous way, as homosexula perversion is linked to the word "gay". It's pure b.s.
But what's really wrong with the statement is that Christians themselves have no right to determine for themselves what is moral and what is not. That's why God gave us the Church in the first place, to disseminate HIS word and HIS teachings, not our own.
Close, but not quite regarding that photo:
From Snopes.com: http://snopes.com/photos/thehand.asp
"What actually happened, as described in news reports of the surgery, was that: [J]ust as surgeon Dr. Joseph Bruner was closing the incision in Julie Armas' uterus, Samuel's thumbnail-sized hand flopped out. Bruner lifted it gently and tucked it back in."
and
"Some opponents of abortion have claimed that the baby reached through the womb and grabbed the doctor's hand.
Not true, Bruner says.
Samuel and his mother, Julie, were under anesthesia and could not move.
"The baby did not reach out," Bruner says. "The baby was anesthetized. The baby was not aware of what was going on."
Satanic.
Wow! A picture is worth a 1000 words.
I'm with you! Pro-choice BEFORE conception, pro-LIFE after. Not very complicated.
What God’s Word Says About Abortion
By Lynn Copeland
God speaks very clearly in the Bible on the value of unborn children. God’s Word says that He personally made each one of us, and has a plan for each life:
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart" (Jeremiah 1:5).
"Even before I was born, God had chosen me to be His" (Galatians 1:15).
"For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb . . . Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be" (Psalm 139:13, 16). "Your hands shaped me and made me . . . Did You not clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? You gave me life" (Job 10:8–12).
"This is what the Lord says—He who made you, who formed you in the womb" (Isaiah 44:2).
"Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One form us both within our mothers?" (Job 31:15).
Because man is made in God’s own image (Genesis 1:27), each life is of great value to God: "Children are a gift from God" (Psalm 127:3). He even calls our children His own: "You took your sons and daughters whom you bore to Me and sacrificed them...You slaughtered My children" (Ezekiel 16:20,21). The Bible says of our Creator, "In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being" (Job 12:10). God, the giver of life, commands us not to take the life of an innocent person: "Do not shed innocent blood" (Jeremiah 7:6); "Cursed is the man who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person" (Deuteronomy 27:25). "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). Taking the life of the unborn is clearly murder—"He didn’t kill me in the womb, with my mother as my grave" (Jeremiah 20:17)— and God vowed to punish those who "ripped open the women with child" (Amos 1:13).
The unborn child was granted equal protection in the law; if he lost his life, the one who caused his death must lose his own life: "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined . . .But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life" (Exodus 21:22,23). Life is a gift created by God, and is not to be taken away by abortion. God is "prochoice," but He tells us clearly the only acceptable choice to make: "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19).
""That 70 percent of poverty in the black community can be traced to teen pregnancy.""
Very good - let's evade the subject of absentee dads.
I'm sure the fatherless families have nothing to do with poverty at all.
"The woman may not be prepared to bring a new life into the world. She may not be able to provide for a child. She may decide, `My life is not where it should be."'
The Word according to followers of Christ Luke 1:38
"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.The truth is plain. The lie is not.
The ignorance and illogic of the author and the so-called Reverend are exceeded only by their evil.
Thats ok i trust my eye's not Snope's snoops
