Abortion — America’s Child Sacrifice

Title: Abortion – America’s Child Sacrifice

Text: Leviticus 18:21

Date: January 25^th, 2009

This past week marked the sad thirty-sixth anniversary of the Row v. Wade Supreme Court abortion decision that basically legalized abortion in all fifty states. Abortion has been legal in the United States for over three decades. Millions upon millions of babies have died as a result. To make matters worse, we’ve just elected a new president who quickly reversed all the laws against giving foreign aid to abortion providers overseas. So now our tax dollars will be going to fund abortion in other countries as well as our own. We have seen some positive developments occur in restricting and limiting abortion in the United States over the last eight years, but many of those gains might be eliminated with the new president because he is so strongly committed to abortion rights. If trends continue we will probably see more setbacks in our efforts to curtail and eliminate legal abortion. But while we struggle here on earth we have to ask the important question from time-to-time, “What does God Almighty think of all this?” After all, in the final analysis it isn’t what we as men and women think of abortion, it’s what God thinks that counts. If God’s Word is true, and we assume that it is as Christians, there will be a day of reckoning for any and every nation that permits the killing of innocent children to continue – whatever people may call it. The judgment of God must come upon the United States and other nations that permit aboard to legally continue; if not, God would have to apologize for destroying the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, as the Reverend Jerry Falwell was so famous for saying. But why would God judge America for abortion? Many people are confused as to why abortion is so wrong. To understand God’s mind in respect to abortion today, we must understand God’s mind in respect to the ancient practice of child sacrifice, because abortion is actually a modern-day version of the ancient practice of child sacrifice. I know that statement may seem outrageous and controversial, but if we think about it, if we compare what child sacrifice was in ancient times and then understand what abortion is today, we’ll see that it essentially the same thing under another name. Why is abortion so wrong? Why is God so opposed to abortion today? Because God was strongly against child sacrifice in the ancient world and abortion is a modern form of child sacrifice, and therefore, God is strongly opposed to abortion today. We should be strongly opposed to it also – strongly opposed enough to fight abortion in any and every way possible. We should never, ever vote for an abortion-supporting politician. We should never support an organization or institution that supports abortion. We should never let the abortion debate end until abortion is prohibited in the United States once again. And we should continue to pray against abortion, and we should also attempt to persuade others to oppose abortion. I’d like to take a few minutes today to demonstrate that modern abortion is the equivalent to ancient child sacrifice. Hopefully, this type of argument can convince more people to oppose abortion today. Leviticus 18:21, “Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.” Let me explain this by asking a few questions and then answering them.

Speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves

Title: Speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves

Text: Proverbs 31:8

Date: January 20^th, 2008

This past week I sent an article into the Jamestown Post-Journal newspaper. Here’s what I wrote: ”35th Anniversary of Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade abortion decision — January 22, 2008 marks the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and presents us with a time of reflection upon this tragic event. Multiple millions of perfectly formed pre-borns have died as a result. Only in heaven will these persons ever be known. Meanwhile, back on earth, we must grapple with the collective guilt of deaths, and ask, “How could this happen here, in America, land of the free?” It seems that we are a land of the free ONLY FOR THOSE WHO CAN VOICE THEIR WILL. As long as pre-borns are not given the same rights other living persons have in our land, our claim that America is a land of the free is a farce, an illusion, a myth. Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” Martin Luther King once said in his famous, “I have a dream” speech that he dreamed of a day in America when persons would be judged not on the basis of the color of their skin, but on the content of their character. I too have a dream, that one day in America all persons would be valued for their intrinsic worth and not by their developmental stage of life. We must not give up the struggle to end the insanity of abortion.” I don’t know if they are going to print it or not because I seem to be persona non grata at the newspaper because of past articles I submitted that they refused to print concerning the demonic spiritistic practices of the town of Lily Dale and other things. But I really do hope they print my article on abortion because it’s something that needs to be brought before people time and time again. Why? Because the longer something is allowed to stand the more normal and natural it seems to be. The longer the laws of our land allow for abortion, as long as our nation tolerates it, the more normal it appears, the more natural it seems, until pretty soon it is thought to be perfectly alright to kill preborn babies. Are we at that point yet in America? We are close, but fortunately not yet, because there is still resistance to abortion among millions and millions of Americans. We’ve got to do everything in our power to encourage that resistance until the day arrives when an outright ban on abortion can happen. So today I’d like to talk about our responsibility to speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Or, in other words, our responsibility to speak out against abortion. Do you speak up against abortion? Do you voice your decent towards the present legal tolerance of abortion? You should and so should I. Let’s hear what the God of the Bible has to say about speaking out against evils like abortion. Proverbs 31:8 (read). Let me say three things.
