They can now get new cars, new electronic toys and maybe a new house with granite countertops to impress their “friends”!

How much do you think it costs for around the clock care for this child?

Who is paying right now? Seems to me that the costs of caring for the child should be borne by the ones who mad the bad diagnosis.

They want children, but the extreme demands of caring for this one have forced them to use birth contra to prevent others.

Why is the one, defective, child so much more important than the siblings who never saw life at all because of the first-born?

“What is wrong with this world?”


Satan rules it. So therefore, this is what it’s like to live in a “fallen world”. Nothing good can come from it, which is WHY we must be ‘saved’ from it. Or, perish WITH it.

Satan does not ‘rule’ anything. He works for God. Read Job if you don’t believe me.

"the couple said that, had the spina bifida been detected, they would have killed their daughter in an abortion."

It's not too late. They could kill her now.

“Satan does not ‘rule’ anything. He works for God. Read Job if you don’t believe me.”


That couldn’t be any further from the TRUTH.

He is called, “the ruler of this world” in John 12:31, and God’s ENEMY.

In 1 John 5:19, God’s Word says that, “the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one”.

30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 14:30.

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.16:11.

4 He is called: “the god of this system of things”, in 2 Corinthians 4:4....4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Satan rules the world and its politics. Soon, it will be taken away, and Jesus will “destroy them which destroy the earth” and create real peace after man’s short false peace. 1 Thess. 5:2-3.

The list, is long, however, these facts (and others)have certainly been emphasized in God’s Word, by its repetition!

The Book of Job, addresses the problem of “human suffering”. In the sense of what you perceive as “Satan working FOR God, is about God ALLOWING Satan to visit terrible trials on Job so as to TEST his trust and faith in God. And, it also shows us His Sovereignty in that we CAN persevere...no matter the circumstance, if we just TRUST HIM. Satan still must OBEY God, even though he rebelled against the TRUTH, which is God.

Hope this helps.

“Oh, give the “parents” a break...(sarc.)

They can now get new cars, new electronic toys and maybe a new house with granite countertops to impress their “friends”!”

What kind of people are those ‘friends’ of theirs anyway? I can honestly tell you I know someone who did abort a baby because it was retarded. You know what? That is not the kind of person I want to be friends with! So these are not the kind of people I’d want to be friends with. They are not impressing anyone worth impressing!

“That’s why Obstetricians now advise all their patients to abort”

Yes I know this and if only OB’s would tell patients about the “Safe Haven Law” as a back up plan? It is an option! It’s better than abortion.

The Hebrew Scrpitures came first. G-d’s Law is perfect and ETERNAL and any changes are not to be followed. This includes the “New” Testament.

I am sticking with G-d’s Word and what the prophets had to say.

I’m not sure why you won’t give God the respect of the fullness of His Name when you are referencing His Name, in type. It is spelled GOD. GOD, is not a “fill-in-the-blank name, but the Name of GOD.

Also, I am not disputing, OR have I changed God’s Perfect, and Eternal law.

So, to what do you refer?....because Satan, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, IS the god of this world until Christ returns. The reason Satan is the current ruler of this world, goes back to the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate of the Tree of Good and Evil, they allowed Satan to rule them instead of God. If Adam and Eve had resisted Satan and obeyed God, then Adam and Eve would have been under the Government of God. By yielding to the lies of the serpent, they started the process of the whole world being under Satan’s sway. Christ even realizes that Satan is current ruler of this world.

1 John 5:19 … the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

His power is so extensive that he is over all the nations of the earth. Jesus calls him the ruler of this world (John 14:30).

John 14:30
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

And you SHOULD stick to what God’s Word says, as it is also in the Hebrew bible, these things. Nothing has changed.

God’s ETERNAL word NEVER CHANGES. The Law will always be the same. Anything that adds to or subtracts from God’s Law is heretical and false. This means that the Christian bible is incorrect and blasphemous. It makes a mockery of God and the Tanach.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,neither shall ye diminish ought from it,that ye may keep the comandments of the lord your God which I command you.

Ps. 146:3 Put not your trust in princes nor in the son of man,in whom there is no help.

Ps. 19:7 The word of the Lord is perfect,converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure,making wise the simple.

Isaiah 42:8 I am Jehovah, that is my name;and My Glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images.

Isaiah 45:22-24 Look unto me,and ye shall be saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.

You are correct. God’s Word changes not. Nor will He be mocked. God is still sovereign....but also, it does mean that God, in His infinite wisdom, has allowed Satan to operate in this world within the boundaries God has set for him. When the Bible says Satan has power over the world, we must remember that God has given him domain over unbelievers only.

2 Corinthians 4:4
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

Evil in the Last Days

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

All Scripture is God-Breathed

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim-3:10-17

And just to clear things up a bit....Christianity is a “way of life”. A personal relationship with our Lord, Jesus...serving Him, and doing His Will. One of which, ALL should aspire to do. To return to God’s intended plan for us(mankind), which is worshiping Him. And doing so, willingly, and faithfully.

However, you are incorrect with your insinuation about the ‘Christian bible’. There is no such thing as a “Christian bible”. It is the “Holy” Bible. The Divinely INSPIRED Word of God. And Jesus Christ IS His ONLY begotten Son, given to us as our Savior, and Mediator between God and man. Jesus is the expressed image of God’s being. For there IS no other. The Holy Bible is for ALL people.
