LEGALLY-PROTECTED SERIAL KILLERS

Legally-protected serial killers

We know that every abortion kills a human being created in the image and likeness of God. 

And we know that each of these individuals, from her biological beginning, is a unique and unrepeatable miracle.
Yet even though these facts can be known to everyone regardless of faith, the majority of Americans do not see these children as human beings. 

When it comes to abortionists, however, the story is different.

More than a few abortionists actually pride themselves on killing these babies with no apologies. 

The following is a grim reminder of their cruelty, their black hearts, and the evil they spread.

Abortionist LeRoy Carhart crows publicly about his profession, telling one reporter that he had no problem killing a baby "if it's in the mother's uterus."

There are two problems with that statement. 

The first is that he uses the word BABY freely and does so because that is who he is killing. 

For that, he has no apologies. 

In fact, he jokes about the practice. According to LifeNews, Carhart said: 

"'I think that it is a baby . . . and . . . I use it [the word baby] with the patients.'" 

The second is that, even though he uses the words "in the mother's uterus," Carhart performs very late-term abortions, also known as partial-birth abortions. 

In fact, he was the center of a Supreme Court decision that half-heartedly outlawed the procedure.

But Carhart is not unique to this genre of serial killers. 

Let's not forget Kermit Gosnell who, thank God, finally went to jail, but not because he killed babies prior to birth. 

Gosnell was imprisoned when found guilty of killing babies after they were born. 

In other words, his crime was killing babies who survived abortion but who died at his hand anyway because he was hell-bent on killing them.

Next we see New Mexico abortionist Dr. Carmen Landau, who is described as a family medicine doctor, when in reality she is a late-term abortionist. 

She administers injections to kill the children in utero and likens the practice to giving the baby "a flu shot." 

Landau is currently performing third-trimester abortions at Southwestern Women's in Albuquerque and at another location in Dallas, Texas.

Also killing babies in the third trimester at this clinic are Curtis Boyd, MDand Shelley Sella, MD.

Boyd is currently under investigation by the New Mexico Medical Board for the alleged death of a female patient who died following a late-term abortion. 

However, criminal charges have not been brought against him.

According to reports, Mew Mexico is the late-term abortion capital of the nation and is a state where late-term abortion is against the law but the law is not being enforced.

In another example of evil, we see Boulder, Colorado, late-term abortionist Warren Hern, who wrote in an editorial for the New York Times that "pregnancy is a life-threatening condition." 

Hern's letter was an attack on a the recently signed Alabama law, described as the most restrictive law in America. 

In his verbal attack on the law, Hern says: 

"Perhaps the vagueness of the law and the confusion is the point. 

Vagueness and confusion are tools of tyranny."

This is rich, considering the fact that this man makes his living killing little babies – the ultimate definition of a tyrant.

These notorious men and women – along with everyone involved in killing the preborn – are a pox on this nation. 

The evil they perpetrate is a stench that must be eradicated.

There is no such thing as an expendable or unwanted person. 

While it is tragic that in the United States the practice of abortion is decriminalized and our laws protect these serial killers, we carry on with hope and fervor knowing that our cause is just.

Abortion must end. Please God.

GENDER WARS AND THE LUNATIC LEFT

GENDER WARS: It's time to push back on the "True Believers" on the lunatic Left

By Curtis Dahlgren

August 30, 2019

"Heterosexuality just isn't working." - NBC news
"THE ASSAULT ON THE SEXES" by Jim and Andrea Fordham was published in 1977 and I'm just getting around to reading it. 

It was prophetic. An excerpt:

"Feminist writer Gabrielle Burton says that women's lib is seeking the most radical revolution of all, because 'it is challenging the nuclear family structure, monogamy, . . . our ways of thinking . . '

"Most people simply can't believe the radicals want to bring such extreme changes to our lives. 

The fact is they do . . In 1975, writer Haynes Johnson reported that a team of computer scientists at MIT [were] developing a computer model of the socio-economic behavior of Americans 

. . . In Professor Forrester's view of this future, 'laws, attitudes, expectations . . traditions, religions and government and corporate activities must all change' – not might or should – but must 

. . And oh yes, they want a reexamination of 'the overly simplistic view of right and [wrong]' that they say has been fostered by the churches." [end excerpt]

CD: It wasn't just MIT. 

This was the doxology, the ORTHODOXY in the faculty lounges all over this country, starting in earnest in the 1960s. 

They tried to hide it from the taxpayers though. 

TODAY they are totally out of the closet. 

They figure (wrongly) that taxpayers can be manipulated now, after more than 60 years of brain-washing college students with social engineering. 

And it's a world-wide philosophy among "the best and brightest" so-called.

P.S. If heterosexuality "isn't working," it's only that "our people" aren't having enough babies to replenish the population of the country. 

A conservative just got accused of "racist bigotry" for saying that. 

He didn't mean just white people; he said "our people" PERIOD (oh, and he's an American who married a lady of Indian ethnicity – as in India). 

He was accused of meaning just white people weren't having enough babies.

SO WHO ARE THE BIGOTS, THE "INTOLERANT" ONES? 

If this is "racism," the word has totally lost all meaning. 

Falsely accusing anyone of racism is the worst kind of it. 

Haynes Johnson further wrote:

"They callenge virtually every assumption of the American experience . . rethinking our religious and humanitarian traditions, rejecting the belief that size and economic growth are a virtue . . "

This is why O'Boma said that 2 percent growth was "the new normal"! 

These Ivy League types dearly want to "manage our decline," and they STARTED it decades ago. 

And they have every intention of rewriting our history, both past and future!!

That's why I coined the term "Academaniacs."

PPS: And now a word or two from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28, 1963:

"With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. 

With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. 

With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day 

. . . " [when people had thicker skin, courage, and people were to be judged by their character, not the colorof the skin (today's snowflakes wouldn't have been worth much in the Civil Rights effort, would they?).]

Never forget that MLK was a minister, as were many of his colleagues, and the "faith" he was referring to included his religious faith! 

Anti-history, anti-religion academaniacs leave out that minor detail of America's history!

Remember, good things happen when good people "get involved." 

It's time to get mad.

THE VITAL ROLE OF ENCOURAGEMENT

The vital role of encouragement

By Rev. Mark H. Creech

August 30, 2019

There is a story (supposedly true) concerning a preacher who read about a character in the Gospels called, "Simon the Leaper." 

He imagined all sorts of things that this leaper character might have done – leaping from mountain to mountain, hill to hill. 

And he preached a sermon on it. 

Then someone brought it to his attention that the man's name was "Simon the Leper." 

To which the preacher replied, 

"I don't see the need to throw away a good sermon just because of a difference in pronunciation."

If that sounds preposterous, allow me to tell you a similar story that is unquestionably true. 

The first two sermons I ever preached were during an evangelistic event in my hometown. 

Most of the people who came to the meeting, however, were fellow church members and supporters. 

I was only 15 years old with God's call on my life, still a babe in the Lord, but on fire for Christ.

In my second sermon, I preached about Christ's Passion, and I told the audience that night about the "scorching" of Jesus. Uh huh, that's right. 

Never mind the fact that the Scriptures say that Jesus was "scourged" and not "scorched." 

I imagined all sorts of things and explained the way I thought the Romans might have done it. 

They burned him with a hot iron. 

They put heat to him in some way. 

They "scorched" him, I vehemently proclaimed.

I never once knew my error until I discovered it on my own while having my private devotions two years later.

When I learned of my grievous gaffe, it brought me to tears. 

It wasn't so much my embarrassment that produced my emotional response (although I was mortified); instead it was the loving way people reacted to my blathering blunder. 

None of them ever said a word to me about it. 

They knew what I had done, but they didn't want me to become discouraged. 

That evening everyone was too busy telling me that I was going to be the next great Billy Graham.

If people had scoffed at my ignorance, I was so tender at the time it might have overwhelmed me to the point of quitting. 

The Lord, however, knew my nature and graciously hid the lapse from me until I was mature enough to handle it. 

Moreover, if my church family and Christian friends hadn't been committed to encouraging me....well???? 

I certainly wouldn't be able to laugh at myself about it today. 

Nor would I be writing about it.

Although I most certainly didn't turn out to be the next Billy Graham, I rejoice in the place God assigned to me and the victories gained therein for the Kingdom, none of which would have occurred, were it not for those who believed in me and thought that God could use someone as weak and unknowing as myself.

I Thessalonians 5:11 admonishes: 

"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up..."
I'm not arguing against ever correcting or rebuking someone. 

There is a time and a place for speaking harshly. 

Nevertheless, let's not forget the vital role of encouragement.

Garret Kell, the lead pastor of Del Ray Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, has eloquently said that encouragement is like oxygen. 

"It keeps hearts beating, minds clear, and hands inspired to serve."

Have you made a big mistake lately? 

Did you do something really stupid?

Perhaps you committed a gross sin, and the guilt is weighing heavily on you.

Be encouraged. 

You are precious to God. God's grace is much greater than all of our sin. 

We need only to turn away from our transgressions, turn in faith to Christ, and trust him for forgiveness. 

If amends are needed, then we should recompense where possible.

Be encouraged. 

Whatever error made, whatever the wrong committed, God's kindness and mercy can make it work for good. 

He can use the flames of failure so what is dross in our lives can be purged and what is gold can be refined.

One more thing, commit to being an encourager to others! 

There are few things as encouraging as being an encourager to someone who needs to be encouraged.

Be an encourager!

STUDY: THERE IS NO 'GAY' GENE

(The Hill) A sweeping new study finds that there is no specific gene that determines one’s sexual orientation, but that genetics do play a part in affecting a person’s sexuality.

Researchers for the study, which was published Thursday in the journal Science, studied DNA from hundreds of thousands of subjects and found some genes that are connected with same-sex sexual behavior.

While variations may play a part in influencing sexual behavior, they do not predict whether a person is gay, researchers found.

CHRISTAINS MUST VOTE TO RE-ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP

Christians must Vote to Re-Elect President Trump.

The alternative is Unthinkable.

The Democrats are Anti-Americans and Anti-Christs.

They are against the U.S. Constitution;

Against God and His Word,

As their Party Platform details.

The results of Democratic Rule are readily seen;

Look at every Major City they Rule,

And that is what they would bring to the entire Nation.

This would be a Disaster for America.

The Religion of the Democrats is godless,

Socialist, Secular Humanism,

Against God and His Word.

Under Democratic Rule,

America would have No Future, before the Living God.

America has No Future

As long as the following remain in place:

-Government Sanctioned:

-Abortion

-No School Prayer

-Same-Sex Marriage

-Promotion of Homosexuality as normal human behavior

-Promotion of Transgenderism

-Indoctrination of godlessness in Public Schools

-Unlimited Spending and National Debt

SHOULD CHRISTIANS VOTE TO RE-ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP?

Trump & evangelicals: The ends justify the means?

Michael Brown asks whether or not Christians should vote to reelect president

This is a perennial ethical question, one that is becoming increasingly relevant in our national elections. 

Do the ends justify the means? 

The simple answer is that it depends on what the ends are and what the means are.

In the view of author Ben Howe, when it comes to evangelicals voting for Donald Trump, the answer is no, the ends do not justify the means. 

The losses outweigh the gains. 

We may have made gains in the courts and elsewhere, but we have lost our credibility as Christians.

In the view of professor Darrell Bock, it may well be that our vote for the president has done more harm (in terms of the degrading of the nation) than good (in terms of pro-life legislation, pro-Israel moves and more).

In the view of strong Trump supporters, however, there's no debate to be had.

The man is fighting giants. 

He's pushing back against so many societal evils (both nationally and internationally), not to mention taking on the left-wing media, doing his best to drain the swamp and making positive decisions today that will help the next two generations. 

Who cares about some mean-spirited tweets and some ill-advised words? 

The man has been sent from God.

And so the debate continues, ceaselessly and endlessly, driven by the media and social media.

How, then, do we sort this out? 

Do the ends justify the means? 

Was it justifiable for evangelicals, who so prize morality and integrity, to elect such an unevangelical leader to take up their cause?

There is an interesting anecdote in the Talmud that discusses a related ethical dilemma. 

A person came to a rabbinic leader named Rabba and presented his problem:

"The ruler of my village came to me and said 'kill that person, and if you do not then I will kill you.' 

Can I follow his order so that I will be able to save myself?"

Rabba responded: 

"Allow yourself to be killed, but you may not kill another. 

Who says that your blood is redder than his? 

Perhaps his blood is redder than yours."

And what, exactly, does this mean? 

As explained by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, 

"On a simple level, Rabba's argument is that we cannot tell whose life is more valuable, so we will not allow you to save your life at the expense of another."

Based on this logic, the Talmud states that various laws can be broken to save your life, such as the Sabbath or the dietary laws. 

In other words, if someone puts a gun to the head of an Orthodox Jew and says, "Eat pork, or we will kill you," it's permissible for him to eat pork.

But if someone puts that gun to his head and says, "Kill someone else," or, "Engage in sexual immorality," or, "Worship an idol or we will kill you," then he must say no, even if it costs him his life.

So, when it comes to Jewish law, these three commandments (against idol worship, forbidden sexual acts and murder) "are so severe that a person should give up his life rather than perform the forbidden acts."

Many Christians have given their lives for similar principles, such as, "You can kill me, but I will not deny Jesus."

In such a case, the ends (here, saving your life) do not justify the means (here, denying the Lord).

But what if the ends are noble (saving other lives) but the means are anything but noble (lying, breaking some laws and being nasty)? What then?

Consider this illustration.

You get an emergency call from a friend. 

You have in your possession the antidote to a deadly snake bite, but it must be applied within one hour or the victim will die.

Your friend is frantic on the phone. 

Ten children, playing in a schoolyard, have been bitten by a venomous snake, but no one in the community has the antidote.

Thankfully, you have it, but you live 45 minutes away and there is road construction on the main highway.

The only way you can deliver the antidote on time is by violating the relevant traffic laws, getting out of your car and screaming at others to get out of your way and, to overcome one last hurdle, telling a blatant lie. 

But you arrive on time and the children are saved.

Would anyone question for a split second that the ends justified the means? 

Not a chance. You would be viewed as a hero (or heroin) and everyone would recognize that you did what you had to do to save lives.

When it comes to voting for Donald Trump, many evangelicals would say, "It's a similar situation. 

We were – and are – facing existential threats as a nation. 

Our very liberties are at stake. 

The lives of innocent babies are at stake. 

The makeup of the courts for the next 30-40 years is at stake. 

And on an international level, Christians were – and are – facing potential genocide, especially in the Middle East. 

Israel could be facing a nuclear Iran. 

Do you think babies in the womb or persecuted Christians in Syria or Israeli Jews care if Trump can sometimes be a brute? 

Wake up!"

Others would say, "Those, indeed, are weighty issues, issues of great importance. 

But what of the fact that we have lost our credibility as Christians by defending Trump at every turn? 

What of the fact that he has stirred up so much dissension and hatred, turning people away from the Lord? 

Is it worth it?"

These are the questions everyone must answer, especially those of us who are evangelical followers of Jesus.

But to me, there is a simple way forward. 

If we believe that Trump is the best candidate for president after weighing all the pros and cons, we vote accordingly, making clear this is just a vote. 

Then, by our actions, our words and the overall course of our lives, we show ourselves to be faithful witnesses for Jesus, feeling no need to defend the president at every turn.

Can it be done successfully? 

That's the big question of the hour.
