THE LIFE OF A CHILD – SPECIAL EDITION
Monday – November 2, 2015
Abortion is a manifestation of unholy worship. Let me define my terms as we move into this Special Edition of The Three Minute Word titled; The Life of a Child. Abortion is the willful destruction, the murder, of a person in the womb of his or her mother. A manifestation is an indicator or an expression of something in this case unholy worship. To be Unholy means to be without holiness, an act antithetical to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, an abomination in the sight of God, and therefore in our sight. The act of abortion (murder – the willful taking of another’s life) is an abhorrence to our God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and therefore to the born again believer or religious Jew. Worship occurs when a person submits to a thing or person making that thing or person number one in their thinking.
Recently there has been much in the news about Planned Parenthood, abortion, and the sale of baby body parts. The term “Planned Parenthood” has a noble ring but a terrible reality. I for one have sat there horrified that a large segment of our society, could do these things and believe it is just fine. A recent Gallup poll disclosed that 50% of Americans consider themselves Pro-choice and 44% Pro-life, leaving 6% that don’t know what to believe. As you know the argument centers on the woman as in the term Pro-choice being the woman’s right to choose abortion or not, after all as they say, it is a women’s health issue. Really? Do you find this as defying of logic and morality as I do? 
The reality is that the Supreme Court in 1973 handed women the “right” to have abortion on demand. The picture is of the nine men who decided it was just fine, even a right, to murder persons in the womb. In a 7 – 2 vote (Wikipedia) these men condemned 55 million plus persons to death since 1973 (www.lifenews.com). They declared that the woman had a right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution which extended to a woman’s right to abortion. Well let’s take a look at this section of the 14th Amendment.
Amendment XIV – Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Do you see a mention in this amendment of privacy? The most incredible aspect to me is that seven of these justices invoked the due process clause which has everything to do with not depriving any “person of life, liberty, or property”. Wow, and this ruling did just the opposite. Remember the devil’s thinking is just the opposite of God’s. Evil deeds are done in the dark, in secrecy both spiritual and physical. Consider the words of Isaiah and of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
John 3:19 (KJV)
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Back to the Gallup poll on abortion 51% said that abortion should be legal only under certain circumstances, 29% said it should be legal under any circumstances, and only 19% said it should be illegal in all circumstances. So 80% of American thought it was just fine destroying human life, a person, in the womb under certain or any circumstance! How did we get here!? There are many names for the developing person in the womb which were developed by the scientific community like zygote, embryo, and fetus that are not for the purpose of dehumanizing a person but describing a level of development much like the terms infant, child, adolescent and so on. The secular community under the leadership and deception of The Evil One and his cohorts have successfully dehumanized or depersonalized the developing person in the womb.
As I noted above the “lifenews” website reports some 55,772,015 abortions (elective murders of persons in the womb) in the United States since Roe v. Wade in 1973. We are killing a child every thirty seconds. We the people of these United States are now very nearly at the top of the list of most murderous persons. The Dailymail (www.dailymail.co.uk) reports that Mao Zedong of China was responsible for the murder of some sixty (60) million persons between 1949 and 1976. Stalin of Russia from 1929 to 1953 is responsible for the murder of some forty (40) million persons. Hitler from 1933 to 1945 was responsible for the murder of some thirty (30) million persons.
Abortion is accomplished in many ways but the end result is the death of a person. Sometimes it is toxic chemicals, sometimes it is a suction device, and sometimes it is a hacking to pieces, and more recently we learn there are methods to extract the person with minimal damage so the child can then be killed with no damage to the organs that others want to purchase. We used to purchase people and it was called slavery now we do it as a slave to other gods.
Romans 6:16 (KJV)
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Who are these gods or put another way, why do most women chose to kill the developing person in their womb? According to a fact sheet titled “Standards 4 Life, Abortion” published by the Christian Medical & Dental Associations (www.cmda.org) three-fourths (75%) say that having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities. Two-thirds (66.6%) say they cannot afford a child, and half (50%) say they do not want to be a single parent or they are having problems with their partner. About 13,000 abortions have been due to rape or incest (less than 1% of all abortions). I think we can all see the names of the gods being served, worshipped, emerging into the light. For abortion to occur there must be the elevation of something or someone above the life of another person. These gods are called work, school, others, money, and a conscious choice to divorce responsibility from actions. In the end “I” and what “I” want transcends all else. Sounds familiar don’t you think?
Isaiah 14:12-15 (KJV)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Satan wants our worship and he gets it in many ways as you can see. There are many fallacies about abortion like it is painless; it is safer than childbirth, every child is a wanted child, and that there is no Post-Abortion Syndrome. These are all false and there is very adequate data to refute all these claims with minimal research effort on my part or yours. Let me briefly describe the Post-Abortion Syndrome as by (www.leaderu.com). Coping with Post-Abortion syndrome includes rationalizing that this was a good thing, employing repression so that the negatives are not in the consciousness, using suppression of feelings, and finally using compensation like another pregnancy to replace the one destroyed. The symptoms of Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS) are guilt or self-condemnation (70%), anger toward herself and or others. An interesting statistic (sad) is that child abuse has increased dramatically in this abortion on demand era showing the depreciating of the value of children. Common symptoms include anxiety, a road of broken relationships, depression, psychological numbing, suicide, and other psychological issues like re-experiencing the abortion as seen with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), survival guilt, eating disorders, and drug abuse. There is also frequently the obsession with the child “would have been” this old and so on as well as nightmares involving the “return” of the child.
Child sacrifice, infanticide, and even the killing of a child in the womb have been present almost from the very beginning and unfortunately goes on today. You can find many descriptions of this at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/child._sacrifice. Murder is expressly forbidden in the Holy Scripture. It is one of the big ten.
Exodus 20:13 (HCSB)
13 Do not murder.
Romans 13:9 (HCSB)
9 The commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not covet; and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.
God speaks of this otherwise with direct reference to children, even the unborn.
Psalm 106:34-41 (KJV)
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
Let me ask a simple question. Look around; is the Church in the hand of the heathen?
Leviticus 18:21 (AMP)
21 You shall not give any of your children to pass through the fire and sacrifice them to Molech [the fire god], nor shall you profane the name of your God [by giving it to false gods]. I am the Lord.
If you are interested there are several other references to the sacrifice of children and it is abundantly clear that is never the will of God, it is never a part of His plans for any person, born or unborn.
We are to worship God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and Him alone. In the Christian community this is God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. We are to have no other gods before us.
Exodus 20:3 (KJV)
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
We are to worship God, submit fully to Him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:23-24 (KJV)
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Our words and actions have their genesis with thoughts. Our predominate thoughts are the things (words) that we treasure. We are what we think.
Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Jesus told us that our words are spirit and the whole of Scripture tells us that those words (spiritual force) can be life or death.
John 6:63 (KJV)
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
So my point is this, our thoughts and our words are spirit and they accomplish things in the physical world just as our Father’s Words accomplish things in the physical world (see creation and the ministry of Jesus). We must make a point to speak the Word of God for therein is life not death. Abortion is death. We are to be submitted to the Father in our words (spirit) and our ways (truth). The Truth is Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and love. I will leave that at that for it is a lengthy teaching by itself and I have a booklet available that goes into this in some detail. If you would like the Booklet just e-mail me at this address and I will send it electronically.
This brings us to the question, when is a person a person? The answer to this question is the key to abortion. We as a Church have a mandate individually and as a group to destroy all the high things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. The imaginations, the high things are thoughts, ideas, and they present themselves as the presumed legitimate and acceptable explanation of behavior, in this case abortion.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Let us review the making or creation of man.
Genesis 2:7 (HCSB)
7 Then the LORD God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
God formed a body first and then He breathed of Himself into this body and it became a living being. Man is a three part being.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV)
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In human reproduction the male sperm comes in contact with the female ova and they become one physically. All of the needed genetic material is present for a complete human being. Let me now ask, what about the spirit? Where does the spirit of this new person come from? God blessed (empowered) man and gave them, male and female the capacity to multiply.
Genesis 1:28 (KJV)
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The spirit of the new person is a merging or blending of the spirits (spirit and soul) of the father and the mother. This spiritual process is simultaneous with the physical so a living being (person) is present at conception. This is the Truth. I hope this brief teaching answers some questions and provides clarity.
