It’s one thing if you engage in sin - then come before the Lord and seek forgiveness - but if one continues to sin (supporting abortion) despite what should be the conviction of the Holy Spirit - then perhaps one is not really a Christian after all.
Saying the “sinner’s prayer” or calling oneself a Christian doesn’t make it so - “by their fruits you will know them” - perhaps they have decieved themselves.
True - only God can know the heart - but again: “by their fruits you will know them”.

Proverbs 6: (16) These six [things] Jehovah hates; yea, seven [are] hateful to his soul; (17) a proud look, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood, (18) a heart that plots evil plans, feet hurrying to run to mischief, (19) a false witness who breathes lies, and he who causes strife among brothers.
...& who could be more innocent??

I was shocked when I learned there were Christian denominations that were explicitly pro-choice. Its not a bad litmus test. If a denomination is explicitly pro-choice you can assume that Christ has departed the building.
Its time to call the realtors.

Any sin that is ongoing and the sinner unrepentant is not covered. To be pro choice means that one has given a thumbs up to ongoing sin. That’s quite different from having an abortion at 17 and asking God for forgiveness sometime later knowing it was wrong.

What is the Bible verse that says, if you keep sinning you will not be forgiven and in the context of this thread Saved.

**Does Someone Have to be Pro-Life to be a True Christian?**
Absolutely!
That’s why dimocrats are not true Christians. They support both abotion and euthanasia in their party platform.

Whoa, when did the rules change on what a Christian is? Last I knew True Christians(tm) are those saved through God’s mercy.
Now you guys want to add other stuff? God’s mercy isn’t enough anymore?
Thank you for reminding me why I quit organized religion.

Ponder this question about where the murder is going to happen?
Americans, pray to end abortion, an evil killer.

Are you being a wise guy or did you not carefully read my post? The key word is ‘unrepentant’.

No Catholic can support murder of any kind — Obamacare included.
Don’t you mean CINOs?

That there are so few Christian denominations who have an official pro-life platform is troublesome. I have to say, until recently I wouldn't have thought it necessary to have an official pro-life platform.
You would think it so self-evident as to not require comment.

What do you mean that Christ did not set it down.
He adhered to the Ten Commandments. What don’t you understand about “Thou shalt not kill.”????????

Yes - and abortion is a (false) “teaching” - it is also a lie from the gates of hell.

In any church you’ll find people who have had abortions and people who have paid to have them done.
Its the nature of the business. People are not perfect. People make mistakes, and the church is where these people gather to worship the God who made them and who has said he will forgive them.
Abortion is not the unforgiveable sin. A woman who has had an abortion knows very well what she has done and doesn’t need to be beat up on. God can heal the damage done to her spirit and if she’s in church she is in the right place.
Thats one issue.
When a church no longer can discern right from wrong, the spirit has departed. Jesus spent all of his time with sinners. He loves us and even likes us. He didn’t preach sin. Separate issue.

I have been going to the Catolic church with my wife, born and raised Catholic, for most of our 30 years together. One thing I have noticed is the folks that attend weekly or more are, on the whole, conservative. The “palms and ashes” (The folks who show up on Christmas and Easter) Catholics seem to be the liberals. And without any proof I think the liberal Catholics outnumber the conservative.

When a church no longer can discern right from wrong, the spirit has departed.The Pharisees and Sadducees thought they had right and wrong all figured out too.
I'm also guessing people don't really believe Paul when he says nothing can take you out of god's hands and that instead of saying "now is there no condemnation" Paul really meant to write "now is there mostly no condemnation."
