I let this go about 3 times already, but that statement is just to ridiculous to let go by. I don't know ANY Protestants that aren't pro life,....no, not one.
And as far as the Prots making abortion legal, that's just an out and out LIE! The whole Silent Majority movement was Protestant based. There are many prots that will say "Lord Lord" in the last day, but Jesus doesn't know them and I'm sure many Catholics will be in the same line.
To blame Prots for all this mess is just crazy, and BTW, the new Pope is having some translation problems on almost every subject these days.
As far as Ms. Powers goes, we all started somewhere and she is just getting started. It will take some time and Bible reading to get her straightened out. Let's just pray for her that she has a good teacher and the evil one doesn't take her back. Any Christian knows the devil isn't happy when he loses one and he usually comes back hard. She will be getting enough grief from him and doesn't need it from other Christians. If she is truly saved, the Holy Spirit will teach her and keep her. One saved can never be pried from God's hand. We all trip and fall, but with His help, we get back up.
I look at non saved people as insane. Once you are saved, your mind is renewed and you see the Truth where you were blind before. At some point, she won't be able to justify any abortion,... ever, and will see the abomination sodomy really is. I once told a lefty, "Just think of the smell that is left on the sheet when men get through wiping feces all over themselves." Apparently he had never thought of exactly what homo's do for sex and he was repulsed. He changed his mind when he realized just how nasty and diseased ridden they really are. He didn't know about fisting, or Crisco, or any of that. He just thought they "loved" each other. Many of these liberal "Christians" have never figured out that John Wayne Gacey was gay or Dahmer, or any one of 50 other serial murderer's. No one explained to them that they killed their victims after having anal sex with them to keep them from talking. They are filthy dangerous abominations, yet most families have one or two hidden around somewhere to make them seem almost acceptable now. Who really wants to condemn ole uncle Bruce after all. Then one day SWAT shows up and we find out he raped a child and everyone says, "He was quiet and kept to himself." God says they are an abomination so who am I to argue with God. Fornication is sin, but I wonder if Ms. Powers has given it up. Does she still admire Clinton now that God has told her adultery is a no no? All these things will be piling on her daily and she will have to square her new found faith with what she has believed all her life. Her friends and family will also be in the "You've gone crazy" crowd.
I like it, I'm impressed, and I'm hopeful and will be praying for her. If she doesn't make it, well, that's up to God, not me. Remember Jane Fonda's conversion? How about Larry Flint? It's tough out there for New Christians after 30. They usually don't make it.
I do remember George Wallace though, and it was real and permanent into his old age. It can happen. Nothing is too hard for God.
“I let this go about 3 times already, but that statement is just to ridiculous to let go by. I don’t know ANY Protestants that aren’t pro life,....no, not one.”
That means you don’t know many people. When I was in grad school I worked in a department that had a Protestant minister as its head. He was pro-choice (and very anti-Catholic by the way). One of the grad students in the department was a former Protestant chaplain and a member of “Clergy for Choice”. Every single Protestant in that department - I would estimate that to be 15-20 people was pro-choice. That’s an insular experience - much like yours. Universities are filled with pro-abort liberals after all.
Outside of university life I have met hundreds of pro-abort Protestants. Some say they are pro-life meaning they are not for “elective” abortions. They support abortion in cases of rape, incest, health of the mother.
