It is a sorry state. The conquest of Christ is only upon willing souls.

As I’m pointing out — the way home in this and many other areas that are symptoms of godlessness is the gospel. Sell THAT (and a genuine gospel won’t even need to be sold with the stereotypical hellfire; how much of that went on in the 1st century church anyhow? it will sell itself by the blessing and healing merits of heaven). Then miracles of attitude will follow.

Yes, that’s kind of what I was getting at in my post to you. IMO, all this Roe v Wade debate is utterly pointless. Abortion used to be illegal, and abortions were still committed nonetheless. You can’t stop abortion by outlawing it.

Ultimately, the choice is the woman’s. And her choice will be determined by her relationship with God. I can’t back this up empirically, but my guess is if people spent as much time spreading the gospel as they do obsessing on overturning Roe v Wade, more babies would be spared.

Untrue.
Jesus defeated sin on the cross, what any person does cannot change that.
Jesus defeated death in the grave, what any person does cannot change that.
Jesus has all authority, in heaven and Earth. (Matthew 28:18)

Therefor the conquest of Christ is not merely on the saved — all knees will bow, though there is a difference between Judgement and now.
