Will you just read the article?

Oh but I did, and I found it wanting from an apologetics point of view. Inasmuch as the author makes a good case for being pro-life, he stumbles when he tries to answer the question "can they be a Christian?" Here is as far as he is willing to go:

To claim to be a Christian and yet chose to support murder over life is hard for me to understand. The commandment, “Thou shall not kill” is still valid isn’t it?

“To claim to be a Christian and yet chose to support murder over life is hard for me to understand. “

I’ve wondered that myself sometimes! You have no idea, really you don’t.

You are there with me when I’m out meeting people from other churches and I ask “are you a pro life church” and I get answers like “yes but (there’s always a ‘but’) our preacher does not preach on political issues”. I give them blank stares sometimes because “To claim to be a Christian and yet chose to support murder over life is hard for me to understand. “ A “political” issue? Now we both know that is a “Biblical” issue but will you please tell me why I get Christian people telling me their pastor does not preach on “political” issues?

I can’t work with churches like that. I can’t reach them. I need help in the pro life cause and they are so misguided. Do you have any idea how hard this is? Maybe your church is pro life and that is wonderful but not all out there are!
