Abortion Interview and Response

            I recently interviewed a man on the subject of abortion. His name was Randall and he supported abortion. The reasons he gave in defense of his position are not new or reasonably thought out. They are just slogans that have been repeated enough times which individuals have based a very important ethical issue on. In this paper I will respond to his arguments and replace misinformation with truth, using logic and the Bible.             The first argument Randall gave in support of his position was, “It’s not a baby in the womb, but a fetus, and it is just tissue”. Now, an unborn child will be called many names by pro abortionists in order to dehumanize it. Pro abortionists will call the baby in the mother’s womb a human zygote, blastocyst, an embryo, fetus, tissue and clump of cells, anything about a baby. It is a biological fact that life begins at conception. Even pro abortionists know this. Faye Wattleton, who was the president of Planned Parenthood, said in 1997: “

180 Movie

The first time I watched ‘180’ I got the chills. I was completely shocked how the people interviewed in the beginning of the video had not heard of Adolf Hitler. As George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I believe education about the Holocaust should be mandatory for all children. Many people view the Holocaust as a horrific event and claim to value human life. These same people in their next breath will defend the killing of innocent babies in their mother's womb. The justifications for abortion are jaw dropping.  Most of the things people said in defense of abortion in 180 seemed more like rhetoric; "It's not a baby", “killing the baby is okay if it came from rape", "It's just a fetus”, “every situation is different", "abortion is okay if the baby has birth defects". If I followed the logic of these individuals, then it would be right for a mother to kill her child at tw

Just Getting Some Chips

The other night on my way home from church I decided to stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things. I had a shiny rhinestone pin on that read Jesus . As I was looking for my favorite chips, a lady looked at me and exclaimed, "Oh! I LOVE your pin"! I was pretty excited thinking she must be a strong Christian because hardly anyone has ever commented on any Christian clothing I have worn. They just read it and quickly look away. So, I got into a discussion with this lady, whom I'll call A. She told me where she lived and what she did for a living. I asked her how long she had been a Christian, she told me she used to attend a Catholic church and just recently started attending a Calvary Chapel in January. I asked her if she read her Bible every morning. She told me how her and her husband missed Wednesday night Bible Study. I clarified my question, "No, I meant do you have personal devotions in the morning?" She told me she did not and maybe she should

What is Beth Sarim?

Last week I took a drive to the Kensington Heights area in San Diego California. Located near the end of a cul-de-sac is a beautiful home that is over 5,000 square feet. This home was built in 1929 by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, the Jehovah's Witnesses organization. The purpose of building the home is one different than the reason given today by the Watchtower Society. In the early twenties the Watchtower Society taught that Abraham. Isaac, Jacob, and the Old Testament prophets would come back in 1925 and rule as princes and live in Beth Sarim. Read for yourself: "At San Diego, California, there is a small piece of land, on which, in the year 1929, there was built a house, which is called and known as Beth-Sarim. The Hebrew words Beth Sarim mean "House of the Princes"; and the purpose of acquiring that property and building the house was that there might be some tangible proof that there are those on earth today who fully believe God and Christ Jesu
