Abortions are government sanctioned murders.  That was one of the statements from yesterday’s post.  The sanction has been approved by the U.S. Supreme Court by court edict.  For over thirty years the Supreme Court has allowed the murder of unborn babies.  During that time, a very conservative estimate of the number of allowed abortions is at least 32 million.  Some have placed the number of government sanctioned abortions at 42-45 million.  Whatever the actual number, it is a holocaust of gigantic proportions.  If one million abortions were performed in a specific year, just over 2,739 unborn babies were murdered every single day of that year.  If 1.5 million abortions occurred in a specific year, just over 4,109 unborn babies were murdered every single day of that year.  For every abortion performed there are at least two murderers—the mother who requested the murder and the authorized medical person who performed the murder.  There is no question that murder is a sin.  There is no question that abortion is murder.  (See the 10/13/05 post)


If abortion is a sin, are those individuals who argue that women should be permitted to murder their unborn babies also committing a sin?  Even in our own judicial system, we have laws to punish those who aid another person who has committed a crime.  We call them an accessory to the crime.  In Matthew 18: 7 JESUS is quoted as say, “’Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin!  Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!’”  To me, this is crystal clear.  If you advocate that people should be allowed to commit a specific sin such as murdering an unborn baby, you too have sinned.  It is necessary for all Christians not to sin.  However, we also must not encourage others to sin and we must not support others in their sins.

It is also logical.  If you love others by wanting the best for them in relation to GOD, you obviously would not encourage them to sin or support their continued sinning. That would be the same as encouraging them to be eternally condemned.  Instead, the loving thing to do is to encourage them not to sin, to warn them that they are sinning, and to help them to repent from their sin.  These are some of the things Christians must do to help others to come to know the only true GOD and JESUS HIS SON.


Christians must not sin.  That is a given.  Christians must not advocate sin and Christians must not encourage others to sin.  Is that the end of it?  No!  James 4: 17 declares “Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.”  Here is where I have sinned.  I have known since the Supreme Court decision that allowing the murder of unborn babies was a monstrous sin.  Yet, I supported the elect of Bill Clinton.  I thought, incorrectly, that the leadership of the Democratic Party would realize the enormous error involved in promoting the sin of murder.  Bill Clinton nominated and the Democratic controlled Senate approved two of the most libertine members on the Supreme Court today.  Bill Clinton promoted the use of the murder of unborn babies as a means of birth control throughout the world through the United Nations.  The Democratic Party controlled by its libertine members continue to advocate the murder of unborn babies.  


I know that the right, correct, and Christian action to take is to oppose the murder of unborn babies.  I know the right, correct, and Christian action to take is to work to get elected Senators and Representatives who oppose the murder of unborn babies.  I know the right, correct, and Christian action to take is to support the appointment of members to the Supreme Court who will obey the principles and the wording of the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by Congress.  I have decided that I must do the good I know I ought to do.  For as James says, to not do so is a sin.  Are you as a Christian doing the good that you know you ought to do?  


When I was living near the University of Arizona, someone wrote on the sidewalk in chalk “Love is an action word.”  I thought it was written by either an English or an education major.  I though it was probably written by a female because I’m afraid most males don’t think in that manner.  Yet, it got me to thinking; Christianity is also an action word.  Let’s live our Christianity by doing that which we know we ought to do!
