June 28 Church-going Christians aborting babies
Hello, I'm George Caylor, TeaWithGeorge.com, and today's session of Get Real is with one of my favorite men in the entire world, Samuel Green, a Messianic Jew. He actually believed the Old Testaments about Jesus, and he came to Jesus as his personal lord and savior, just as I have. He's also a pro-life warrior.He's out there on the front lines. I want to start asking Samuel some questions this morning. By the way, this is a no-holds-barred, politically incorrect show, so Samuel, are you ready? I hope so.Thanks for having me, George. Okay, we'll see. Well, some may want to assume that everyone in church is pro-life.I mean, Jesus was pro-life, and he still is pro-life. Is it a safe assumption to think that, that everybody in church is pro-life? Sadly, it is not, and so for your pro-life listeners, don't assume that your church-going friends are all pro-life. There are many studies showing that significant portions of churchgoers believe the Bible says nothing about abortion.They are turning to abortion themselves, voting for abortion, and so we who know the truth really need to work to address this confusion and help churchgoers understand that children in the womb are fully human and precious in the eyes of God and deserving of love and protection, that they are, in fact, among the neighbors we have been commanded to love as ourselves. That's a heavy responsibility on all of us, I think. Years ago, we had a Supreme Court justice come to town, Justice Scalia, and he was new on the court, and I didn't know how he felt about pro-life, pro-choice, what it was, and so I asked him a question, almost laid a trap for him, which I wouldn't have needed to, I found out later, but I said, Justice Scalia, if someone's on life support and they have a 99.5% chance of full recovery and a great life, if the life support is not disconnected, would you have a law that it could not be disconnected? He said, yeah, there should be such a law.I said, what if that life support was an umbilical cord? Well, there were a lot of pro-choice women in the crowd, and I got hissed and booed, but he said, absolutely. He said the umbilical cord is life support. It should not be disconnected.So getting into politics a little bit here, there's a U.S. Senate candidate from Texas, James to Larry Coe, I think that's how I pronounce it, but recently he expressed his support that justified his position that the Bible is silent on abortion. Is he correct that the Bible doesn't address abortion? If that's so, how do we explain to our church-going friends that abortion actually violates God's edicts for us? Well, what that Senate candidate said is part of a broader effort that we have seen on the part of the abortion industry and pro-abortion politicians to basically try to lull Christians into thinking that it's okay to support abortion or that they, in fact, should support abortion. But that is a lie, and it's a lie that comes from the devil.The Bible says the devil was a murderer from the beginning and is the father of lies. So we should not be surprised that there are deceptive campaigns that are taking place to try to encourage Christians to support murder. I mean, one thing the Senate candidate said is correct that the word abortion is not actually used in the Bible, but the Bible is very clear about the evil of abortion.And that is simply when we look to commands like the one we see in the Ten Commandments, do not murder. Okay, that clearly applies to murdering an innocent human being. And all of that is prohibited.So the real question that the Christian then needs to grapple with is, well, are children in the womb human beings? Are they precious in the eyes of God, just like those who are walking and talking? And there is an abundant amount of scriptural evidence showing that, yes, children in the womb are fully human, fully precious, and therefore protected when the Bible says, do not murder. One of those great biblical passages comes from Luke chapter one. And there we see that John the Baptist, while in the womb of his mother, actually experienced an emotion, the emotion of joy and leaped as a result of that emotion.A meaningless blob of cells doesn't experience emotion and leak as a result. But little children, they leap for joy. John the Baptist jumped for joy while in his mother's womb, being fully human even then.Luke one also tells us that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother's womb. That means God looked upon this child who had not even taken a single breath and valued him so greatly that he blessed him by filling him with the Holy Spirit. That tells us that unborn children are very precious to God.And if they're precious to God, they should be precious to the Lord's followers. There are other scriptural passages as well that make it very clear that children in the womb are fully human, fully precious, and among the neighbors we have been commanded to love as ourselves. Last week I had a minister, Mr. Chaplain in the U.S. Army, a lieutenant colonel, talking about pastors and how they've abrogated their duty to tell the truth in the pulpit.And he said that a lot of pastors are afraid of saying something that may sound political, they might lose their tax deduction, which that has never happened ever in history. But he said some pastors wouldn't say, vote for this pro-life candidate if it would save a million babies the next day. They'd rather the million babies die than to dirty the pulpit with something political.
