Hillsong United Attendee Condones Abortion

Here is a quick example of one of the reasons we abolitionize Christian events. It’s certainly not to hate on Christians for not fighting abortion the exact same way as we do. Rather, it is to fulfill the Great Commission, meaning preach the Gospel and teach them the things Jesus commanded. This woman, who attends a Christian church, justified murdering humans because “God is the only judge and we have to just let him take the wheel.” She quoted Ecclesiastes 11:9 to prove along with that we are allowed to live anyway we want to. When I explained to her using Scripture that God sees the baby in the womb as a living human being and he has commanded us not to murder. She replied “that is your interpretation, I interpret the Bible differently.” I read 1 Corinthians 6:9-12 in a final attempt to get her to see that God has standards, her friend asked me to leave. I wish I could say that this sort of conversation is rare. But the truth is there are people most likely sitting in ...

Thoughts on 'Preaching the Gospel' vs. 'Fighting Abortion'

Image
Opposing and exposing evil and consistently speaking on behalf of those who are dehumanized and destroyed in our culture is not contrary to the preaching of the Gospel. The Great Commission does not cancel out a Christian's responsibility to rescue those being led to the slaughter and God's command to love our neighbor. In fact the Great Commission includes teaching others God's commands, "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you." God has commanded us to love and re scue the orphan, weak and oppressed, to stand against evil, love mercy, establish justice, correct oppression, and bring justice to the fatherless. Preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ and rescuing my pre-born neighbor from death are not contrary but harmonious.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and America's Holocaust

Image
Recently I watched a film titled, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" . The film takes place during World War 2 in Nazi Germany. It centers around a young German boy named Bruno who is forced to move from his home in Berlin to a new house in Poland. This move is due to his father's promotion from an SS officer to commandment. Bruno is eight years old and completely unaware of the current affairs of the world, the only thing on his mind is being an explorer. When Bruno arrives at his new home he is saddened that there are no children nearby to play with. From his bedroom window he spots what he thinks is a farm a few miles from his house. He also notices children at this farm, who despite being strange because they wear pajamas all day, he desires to play with. Initially his mother does not see any reason why it wouldn't be okay to play with the children at the farm. However she objects when one of the "farmers" brings vegetables  into the kitchen and Bruno as...

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 ...

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...
