OPINION, October 29 /Christian Newswire/ -- Several years ago God revealed that He is victimized by abortion.
The Attack
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." (Jeremiah 1:5). What then does God experience in an abortion? It is like a mother nursing a child and an intruder breaks in ripping the baby in pieces as she watches in horror.
Invasion of the Holy of Holies
As God is lovingly imputing His divine plan into the child and forming the baby the abortionist invades the "holy of holies" of a mother's womb, ripping the baby from God's arms, dismembering the child in His face. This is an act of devil worship. How does God feel being victimized 50 million times... and counting?
Temple of God Temple of Stones
Jesus became enraged at the money changers at the temple beating and driving them out. (John 2: 14,15).
If Jesus became so angry at those who defiled His temple made of stones by man's hand, how great is His anger at a nation who destroys His living temples made in His image in whom His Spirit dwells? (John 1:8,9)
Jesus Confirms the Victimization and the Accountability
Jesus said that helping the afflicted is helping him ("I was hungry and you fed me, naked and you clothed me." Jesus condemned others for turning away, Matthew 25). The gospel of John says that He is the light that gives life to everyone (even the unborn) John 1:8,9.
The Crucifixion:
The whipping tore flesh off His body. An abortion rips the child's flesh. How great is His anger toward the Church and nation supporting abortion of the innocent and His victimization? Doesn't Christ ask "wasn't once enough?" Maybe He will apply the Golden Rule next time we pray for our children.
The Early Church
Many think abortion is a contemporary issue. Not so. The early church confronted this problem and did so effectively.
"You shall not slay the child by abortions"-----Didache 1st century book of apostolic teachings
"We acknowledge, therefore, that life begins at conception because we contend that the soul begins at conception..." -----------Tertullian, 3rd century Church father
Remember RU486 abortion pill? In the 2nd century A.D. the Church spoke directly to the fact that there were poisons women could take to induce an abortion.
"...those who take fetus-killing poisons, they are made subject to the penalty for murders."-----6th Ecumenical Council, Canon XCI (681 A.D.)
Cain and Abel--America and Abortion
When Cain slew Abel, God heard his blood cry out. God placed a horrendous curse on Cain. If God heard the voice of one man's blood how loud is the cry of the blood of 50 million aborted children? How great is the judgment awaiting those by whom the blood of 50 million aborted children cry?
Declaration of Independence: The Supreme Judge of the World
The Founding Fathers refer to God as the "Supreme Judge of the World", possessing standards of right and wrong with consequences of blessing or cursing.
Abortion violates the standards and morals of the Supreme Judge of the world taking the nation from under His protection to judgment. Even so, God is longsuffering waiting for the nation to repent.
The Admonition:
All politicians, pastors, churches, American citizens are urged to stop the infant holocaust. God calls this nation to repent.
The Hope of Redemption:
God wants all to know that if you or someone you know had an abortion His mercy is still extended. Don't run from Jesus, run to Him. He is faithful to forgive and heal.
