My wife and I are white evangelicals. Here’s why we chose to give birth to black triplets.
Washington Post ^ | April 21, 2016 | Aaron Halbert

As I have made the stroll from my wife’s hospital room to the NICU these past few days it has been hard to fathom the way that our family has been put together.

This past Sunday, my gorgeous wife – a white evangelical, like me — gave birth to our beautiful African-American triplet daughters whom we adopted as embryos. These sweet girls will hopefully soon be coming home to meet their 3-year-old African-American brother and 2-year-old biracial sister, both of whom we adopted as infants. The normalcy of this paragraph is something I have come to take for granted. Yet what seems to us to be the logical outcome of being pro-life is still something that to others often needs much explaining.

Yes. I think you nailed it there. I don’t like it for that reason.

My wife got it right. An invasion of what may have been something good by a FREAK SHOW.

Yes, sad but more than that sick and perverted.

It’s based on an immense selfishness. It’s all about “ Look at me! See how great I am!”

The term being spread around the internet for the last few years is "Virtue Signaling."

It is the usage of attention attracting acts to signal to everyone about how "virtuous" you are.

Didn't the bible mention something about someone who prayed loudly so that everyone would notice them?

“LOOK HOW INBIASED AND TOLERANT WE ARE.”

I am reminded of the late comedienne Joan Rivers responding to some Hollywood actress bubble-head who had adopted some children from Africa. The woman said "I want my children to know their heritage", to which Joan Rivers said:

"Lock them in a room and throw them a jar of flies."

>>Aren’t there already plenty of already born black children they could adopt? I would think that would be the Christian thing to do.

Given that life begins at conception, isn't the adopting of these embryos equivalent to adopting children that have already been born?

So you are acknowledging that you did not actually read the article. Within the article it was noted that the embryos came from an embryo bank run by a Christian group with the goal of finding a home for these unused frozen embryos.

Sorry, you didn’t give birth to them. Some non-White did, and wasn’t able or willing to take care of them.
The moral superiority is pretty clear in this article. “We’re better than you, you White idiots who gave birth to White babies.”
Lots of luck, especially when Blacks harass the kids for acting White and you for doing this.

How about you re-read EXODUS 20:7?

How about you tell me what is so titillating to the nouveaux holier than thous you have to F around with every conceivable variation on the name?

Does it make you feel BETTER than all the (Jews, for instance) you offend?

Would you like it if others took the name/s of YOUR god/s in vain?

Happy Passover you and your Great Holy Singular All Knowing
Saved self.

I found his screed to be creepy as well. He appears to be trying too hard to prove something. He couldn’t just adopt a black baby, oh no, it has to be African American. And an embryo. (or two or three) Refer to sentence two.

I use YHWH so that no one will misunderstand to which ‘God’ I am referring. I am referring to the True and the Living Elohim, the creator of the Universe. I am not referring to Allah, or Baal, or any other created beings or things that men have treated as gods.

Did you know? It turns out that ‘God’ is the English spelling for the nickname of “Gadrael” the fallen angel who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. Since Satan is the God of this World and the God most people seem to be worshiping these days, using it doesn’t offend many, but if I could be offended, it would offend me.

If you are offended by the Name of the Living Elohim, then you should examine where your heart really is in relationship to Him. Why are you offended by His Name?

As for the Jews, better that they are offended now, and come to believe in His Son, Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ then the alternative. The Messianic Jews I know use YHWH or some variant because they know they are not taking His Name to nothing, which is a more accurate translation of EXODUS 20:7 into modern English.

As a Christian, I don’t actually celebrate the Passover, since it was fulfilled by Yeshua Ha’Mashiach when He died on the Cross. However, I do take note of it, since the Jews believe that Elijah is going to return one of these Passovers, and this could be the one. Knowing from the Scriptures that Elijah is going to return before the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, and knowing that the Revelation 12:1-2 Great Sign in the Heavens happens on September 23-24, 2017, I think it is prudent to pay attention.

Their self-hatred is disgusting. Self-genocide.

Because the world needs fewer white people?
