I think we all need to be more consistent if pro-life.

We need to emphasize adoption instead of abortion. IF a baby has to be aborted purposely, it still has to be taught as murder, so that the doctors and mothers will have much less lying that "yes it is necessary." We also then teach that Jesus will forgive the repentant.

I hate to say it, but even the worst of criminals, putting them to death, ALTHOUGH DESERVED, should be left to God. He didn't do that to me, although deserved. Put criminals away in prisons or separate cities for life. But support life. Give them time to understand God's mercy and love for them before it is too late. They are sinners just like us.

And now support the disabled.

Why is none of this understood?

1. People do not believe the Bible is the Word of God.
2. In that Word He tells us we are MORE than just physical, but also spiritual/immaterial, and that we have value. This is NOT something we would necessarily know without HIS revealing this.

How to change our belief into trusting the Bible? Look at the evidence for Jesus' resurrection from the dead. It's wonderful. It's factual, so therefore He is Who He claimed to be. HE says the Bible is the Word of God, so trust that He knows what He's talking about! He gives His 'stamp of approval' onto His disciples' remembrances of His teachings, which we have in the NT.

God tells us we have value. He loves us. He wants to show us mercy through Christ.

We see this now, as people seem sincerely to think that Terri is already dead because she has brain damage, and in that when damaged, she cannot have value.

God promises blessings here and now when we serve Him. Not the health/wealth stuff, but surely as we have a society of mercy and love and inclusiveness to all, (but discouragement of sin--which also revealed by God to us, that we are not to tolerate sin), God will bless our country. Any country which follows Him.
