Abortion and Christian Persecution? Is that possible? I think I is... especially now...First off I am not going to bore everyone with the details. I really am sick of it too so no worries.
However something struck me as interesting and scary. According to the health care bill, if passed tax dollars will be spent into funding abortion.
If memory serves this would be the first time that we as Americans would be faced with paying for the murder of incident human beings (unborn babies or Fetus's). When I heard this on the radio tonight on the way home in this bad first snow in December of 2009 it hit me funny and much different. For me it hit the deepest parts of my heart in ways that are very painful and scary. Why do you say? What's so different about this fact? What’s the big deal? Are you crazy?
Well for one you are funding the killing of people. it is the same as if I go out and get a gun and kill someone. However according to the government and culture that is OK to kill babies that haven't even be able to see the light of this world, but its not OK to kill a pregnant women (in which you great charged for the murder of the women and the unborn child!) Isn't there a commandment for this in the bible as Well? Yep! Excuse 20:13 or the 5th commandment: "You shall not murder."
I know being a believer in Jesus and having him in my heart as my personal savior that I can not do this and his word says that clearly as stated.
However that is what we will be doing if this passes and for the first time supporting murder without even realizing it. Its just what Jesus said about lusting after a women... Jesus Said You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ a 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:27-29.
But what does that have to do with murder and the government? Hold that thought for 2 seconds....
When I was now following the Lord I was deeply into Pornography. It got to the point that I actually paid sites online for Porn. That is supporting the sin the pornography industry and Lust itself!!!!!
When I look back, it is something that I deeply regret and I know I singed and have had to ask God for forgiveness. This is why I understand how scary this is of supporting sin to the point of not even knowing that I am. Yes I know that is a loose translation of it but the point is that I supported Lust. However it was my sin and my choice and praise God he can forgive, but their are consequences to actions (like the guilt of knowing you did it, emotional pain etc)
Aborting a baby is the same thing as murdering.... but according to legislation currently and government it might become something that is not a choice anymore but instead a DEMAND! If you want insurance from the government you will have to pay for it.
You see the parallel of this and how scary this really is. I would even go as far as for the first time Christians being faced with a choice of supporting evil and being persecuted for not complying to it (by not being able to have insurance as the example). Though Paul's time in the book of ACTS from bible people had where burned at the stack, and not able to do trade in the marketplace since they had to pray to the Greek God's of whatever and bring a sacrifice offering for the pagan God. This also goes into end prophecy of the mark of the beast and such. Its scary to see how far we have gone from God and how much we need to ask God to forgive us of our sins and proclaim Jesus as the living raisin savior who came to this earth to save us from sin and death. His Gift is free and worth the price of something as small as not being able to have health-care.
I don't know what is going to happen but knowing what the bible says and being a believer in Christ is what I am worried about and this is why it hit me so hard today.
I know it’s confusing and probably has issues but I really felt led to write this (why I don't know) so if you don't understand let me know.
