The Women Ministers of Kentucky Preaching Abortion Rights (barf)

As the state’s last abortion clinic is at risk of being shut down, some religious leaders step up against Gov. Matt Bevin’s anti-abortion policies.

In the spring of 2014, the Rev. Millie Horning Peters and her clergy friend were eating lunch in Louisville, Kentucky, when their discussion turned to reproductive rights. As people of faith who were also pro-abortion rights, they were concerned by the absence of a religious voice in discussions about women’s health care. Instead, they observed, anti-choice arguments of the outspoken religious right dominated the public debate on reproduction.

So Peters set out to dispel the narrative that all religious people oppose abortion.

"So Peters set out to dispel the narrative that all religious people oppose abortion."

Ms Peters Good God-fearing Christians and even some non ones that I've met oppose abortion and know it's murder. How dare you claim to be "of Christ" and promote murder.

I drive by that place every day on my way home from work. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t fantasize about “taking action”. But the Lord will handle it just fine.

Ask the Western nations why they don’t all support late-term abortion?

Why is it only “puritanical” or “dogmatic” for US states to want to restrict it?

Abortion is a sacrament in that it is the outward sign of an inward reality, and it effects what it signifies.

Death to the body, death to the soul.

A Sacrament of Satan.

“Women ministers” is oxymoronic, so that’s the first problem and the underlying problem. See clergy qualifications in Scripture. You can’t call God a liar, ordaining unqualified individuals, and hope to not be apostate in every other way.

Whenever ANY denomination has engaged in this particular apostasy, ordaining women, they complete their descent shortly thereafter by embracing homosexuality and abortion. Every single time.

As if we needed a very vivid reason the New Testament does NOT include women as pastors/preachers/ministers... Here we go.

Bears repeating! Every. Single. Time.

Paul knew what he was talking about!

“Article is from one of the most whacked-out Leftist sites on the internet.”

Hence the “barf” alert.

Wanted you all to see what the left thinks Christianity should be!

Exactly right. This is among the reason I think that women ought not to hold positions of authority above men in the church. I mean not to denigrate, but by God's design, women are emotionally driven while men are more rationally oriented. One is not better than the other, and each has its place, but given this, when women are in positions of authority they are more easily led captive by emotions.

For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

How dare these women claim the right to murder babies? They are not “ministers” to anyone but Satan, seeking to lead others astray.

My thoughts exactly!

No genuine Christian - no thinking person, Christian or not - can ever be anti-life. "Abortion Rights" is nothing more than a euphemism for the unfettered murder of unborn children based solely on the mother's decision.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. (II Timothy 3:1-7)

There’s more to it. Hillary was at her church in 2014. The United Methodists were started in 1984, they’re communists, they’re also lesbian baby killers. Lesbians hate children. The United Methodists also teach Islam and hold conversions, and support CAIR. JAMES COMEY goes to Hillarys church. He converted from Catholicism. They’re all ghouls. The mainstream media will not publish this.
