Agreed - we have to start somewhere though - so, what do you think (present tense) Jesus Christ said (past tense) about "ABORTION" while He was here in human form?

[G Larry]

Jn 10:10-THE THIEF COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.

This is as close as Christ comes to speaking about murder.

If you are scanning the Gospels to understand what kind of behavior Christ condemed, and believe that if He didn't condem it that it is acceptable in his eyes, then party on dude!

[Shomer]

I believe that only kings were ordained by God.

I can see your reasoning, yet Paul didn't use the word for "Kings" (basileus) rather we get the expression "higher powers" or 'exousiais huperechousais' in Romans 13, and in Titus 3:1 the words are "to principalities" (archais), "to obey magistrates" (peitharchein) and powers ('exousiais').

But lets entertain your idea for just this moment. If the command was to obey Kings yet for 'elected' officials any sort of respect or obedience was optional, could we argue that the Founding Fathers were in disobedience when they fought for separation yet the antebellum South was not?

At what level of government or bureaucracy do we tell the office-holder to get lost? Are you willing to test that theory at a routine traffic stop?

[clawrence3]

Don't get me wrong - I never said abortion was acceptable to God. And Jesus, while here on earth, did directly condemn murder - I will have to get you the cite later. He even went so far as linking "anger" to murder - Jesus was much more concerned about sin corrupting soul than the actions such sin create in our lives. That is close as you can get re: "abortion" though.

You would support the government criminalizing "one hot meal and one night's shelter"? How about just offering them Holy Communion during service - would you support the government's right to criminalize that too?

[Euro-American Scum]

What would Hillary ever know about the Bible?

[Integrityingovt]

God will judge this woman. I know first hand from White House staffers and secret service agents who worked in the White House while she was there that she had one of most foul, anti Gods mouths they had ever experienced. If you had to rate it according to movie ratings it would have been R bordering on X. True christians should be appalled and outraged by her using the Bible and Jesus's name to advance her agenda. Does the word "antichrist" mean anything to you Hillary!! Look that up in your Bible and then look at yourself in the mirror.

[antceecee]

Hillary reads the Bible???? Who knew!

[redgolum]

One question for you.

Have you ever considered that by aiding illegal immigration you are actually putting those people more at risk?

[clawrence3]

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Do you think Jesus would support the government criminalizing "one hot meal and one night's shelter" to an illegal alien? How about just offering them Holy Communion during service - would Jesus support the government's right to criminalize that too?

[clawrence3]

Yes, but I do not think offering "one hot meal and one night's shelter" is putting anyone more at risk than not offering them that. Same for child-care during Church service. In fact, I think NOT offering them Holy Communion puts them at HUGE risk, at least spiritually. Next question?

**could we argue that the Founding Fathers were in disobedience when they fought for separation**

The king of England thought so. However, laws were quickly established in the colonies.

I have in my possession a book "York County, Virginia Records 1659-1662" and the first entry reads:

At a Court Held for York County, August 24, 1659

Present: Lt. Coll. William Barbar, Mr. Wiliam Hay, Mr.Robert Bourne, Mr. Edmond Pevesey, Mr.Rog. Baldrey

It is ordered that Mr. Nathaniel Bacon, Administrator of Mrs. Jane Harman, dec'd, be paid 300 lbs tobacco due by bill, out of the estate of John Claxon, dec'd.

down on the same page:

In the difference between Mr.Francis Wheeler, plt, and Mr. Robert Vaulx, deft., concerning a skiff borrowed of Mr. Wheeler, it is ordered (said skiff appearing to be made unusable by Mr. Vaulx) that he pay L 5 (£5) for said boat.

When Jesus said, Pay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar but pay to God what belongs to God, he meant that we should obey the law(s) of the land and, more importantly, the laws of God.

I believe Jesus Christ is aware of everything. Were you trying to make some other point?

No. I was just trying to be funny. The empathy of the borderfreaks leaves me in tears, so I sometimes resort to humor to prevent myself from saying how I think Jesus may have made security across the border into Heaven too easy for the lucky Americans who hate the rest of God's creations.
