This would probably be less surprising if you knew —
- How many evangelical women have had an abortion?
- How many evangelical women know someone who has had an abortion?
>>Leaders and organizations are supposed to set the moral compass, to guide the sheep as examples in paths of clear biblical morality for His name’s sake
I don’t think that people are keen on being sheep.
Only the Lakewood NJ rabbis seem to be able to tell their flock how to vote.
Any more degree means programed.
China invests millions in colleges and universities for a reason.
They deal in long term plans and it works.
It was - upto Gen X. As millenials reached adulthood that began to change. The change accelerated with Gen Z reaching adulthood.
Did they? Or was this another case of fraud?
One of the things that the pro-abortion side has been successful at is portraying any limitations as ‘bans’. Along with that is portraying the ‘no’ vote as implementing a full ban of not only the abortion portion, but the list of other more mundane or beneficial items included within the phrasing.
This is rude but I think it pretty much sums up the facts:
Young Christians want to screw with impunity.
And the older Christians don’t want to have to raise oopsie grandchildren.
(I’m using the term ‘impunity’ loosely.)
No True Scotsman would ...
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
People seem to stop there. We are to judge fellow Christians.
I”m all in favor of that.
Pin this directly on evangelical “pastors” who oh so sanctimoniously intone “I don’t do politics.”
God will judge them severely.
Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
You need to use the verse correctly. There are times that your brother will have a speck in his eye that he needs help to be rid of; yet you have to be clear eyed enough and free of blame to be able to do so!(verse 5). If he has such a speck and we don’t act to help him or dissuade him of the folly he is in then we can be guilty of the blood of our brother.
Yes we can discern/”judge” but we must be knowledgeable about our own shortcomings when we do so, lest we with the same measure, are judged!
Context makes the dream work!
Not likely Christians, either.
