Obama Supporter On FNC: Jesus Would Be O.K. With Abortion
Newsbusters ^ | August 14, 2008 | Dave Pierre

Posted on 08/25/2008 10:59:36 AM PDT by Mrs. Don-o

Jesus would be O.K. with abortion. Not only that, Jesus's position on abortion would be even "more radical" than Barack Obama's! That was the wild, and patently false, assertion from Barack Obama supporter Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, a guest on Wednesday's The O'Reilly Factor on FNC (8/13/08).

[snip] The earliest Christian writings reveal that the earliest followers of Jesus were universally against abortion:

-- The Didache ("The Teaching of the Twelve") may be the earliest Christian document not found in the Bible. It has been dated at 50 A.D. It says: "You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not seduce boys. You shall not commit fornication... You shall not procure [an] abortion, nor destroy a newborn child."

[snip]

If anyone ever needed an example of how callous and clueless so-called "progressive" pundits can be when it comes to the topic of Christianity...

+_+_+_+_+_+

From Wednesday's The O'Reilly Factor (8/13/08):

O'REILLY: The question is simple. (crosstalk) Would Jesus be as progressive on abortion - does he believe Jesus would, based upon his knowledge of theology - as he [Obama] is?

HILL: Absolutely. I think, absolutely.

O'REILLY: You believe Jesus would say, "Partial-birth abortion: No problem"?

HILL: I think Jesus would be even more radical than all the candidates who are --

O'REILLY (incredulous): On this issue?

HILL: On this issue and on all these other issues. I think a fundamentalist understanding of the pro-life/pro-choice debate is misguided and actually misses the point. And I think Barack Obama understands this kind of thing -- (inaudible) close to the center --

O'REILLY (incredulous): That would be a stunning dissertation if the Senator would give it. And I would absolutely want to hear it.

HILL: And I think he would. I think he will!

O'REILLY: Let's wrap this up ...

Stupid is as Stupid Does.

This is the result of (PURE) Liberal thinking (or lack thereof).

Just keep yappin’ you crazy liberals.
Go ahead and parade your freak show in front of the nation this week, and keep talking about Jesus like this.

Everytime the libs talk, they ensure a republican landslide.

The fun part is the day after the election when they look so puzzled.
What went wrong?

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

I thought Jesus was running for president.

Close. It's God's other son, Barak.

“All will learn what Jesus will do.”

We already know: NOTHING.

Besides, if he didn’t take the time to condemn slavery, why should we care about what he thinks about fetuses? Unless of course, it means more people to be born and become slaves worshipping him, well then, that makes sense.

No, no, no, no.

He was running for the border. Jesus Gomez - he was running for the border to the U.S. when he was stopped by a section of wall.

I once read a novel about a serial killer getting his instructions to kill from his own twisted “Jesus” speaking though a TV. Not a very good book but Democrats remind me of that man.

These people are sick. They’re welcome to their perverted opinions, but don’t try to justify them by (mis)using Scripture!

15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

That is yet another one they misinterpret.

They think it means they have to act childish in all matters.

That leads to them wearing funny costumes and ridiculous body adornment, while chanting & carrying childish slogans, and shouting obscenities, while parading through our streets, believing that they are "making a difference".

Obama is on the theoretical extreme edge of the radical pro-abortion position. God Himself could not be more radical if He wanted to.

I'm sure that in this fool Democrat's mind, God consults with Obama on all of the day-to-day business, both mundane and miracle.

Surely, it's not the other way around. Otherwise, Obama would be far more humble. :-)

Elian, my fellow FReeper, you seem to think that everything Jesus said and taught was written in the Gospels, when the Gospels themselves testify that He said much, much more than is recorded:

John 21:25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.

Therefore your assumption that Jesus ought to have been expected to catalog and condemn every known, past and future, type of human cruelty, violation and aggression, is mistaken.

Jesus was often confronted with moral quetions, and He tended to answer in summary rather than in catalog form:

"[Loving God] is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Yhis leaves it on the honest questioner to ask himself: "Would I want someone to enslave me? Then I should not enslave other. Would I want someone to abort me? Then I should not abort others." And so forth.

That, with sufficient reflection, should answer most questions of morality.

Little error here.

The Sybelline Books were pagan Roman/Etruscan documents.
But that’s o.k. Apparently even THEY didn’t approve of abortions.

Neither Hill nor Obama have read the Bible through even once. They did not read how David praised God for knowing him even before his mother knew she was pregnant. Obviously, unborn babies are people. One cannot know someone unless they are alive.

Abortion is murder, pure and simple.

When you examine the pedigree of their ideas, what you come to understand is that the abortion issue is one of the keystones to devaluing human life. This is something that is implicit in the ideology of the Left; it’s cast into their philosophical DNA. Humans are things. That the essence of it. Humans are fungible and ultimately disposable “assets”.
"...social engineering--the notion that human beings can be shovelled around like bags of cement."

Jesus would not support abortion.

He always quoted from the Old Testament:

“Thou shalt not kill.”
