The Vast Left-Wing Culture of Death
By Phil Harris
Sunday, May 6, 2007
Christians are often confronted with a question that is hard to
answer. It
is a difficult question, not because it challenges our faith in Jesus
Christ; that he sealed a new Covenant with God by taking on the sins
of the
world, but because of our genuine desire that all should find
redemption,
and be justified when it is their time to stand before God.
In fact, that is our charge given by Jesus himself just prior to his
ascension. Mark 16:15 tells us, "He said to them, Go into all the
world and
preach the good news to all creation." As an aside, I might take this
opportunity to point out that Jesus did not tell his followers to kill
the
infidels if they refuse to believe, as some "peaceful" religions are
known
to do.
Nevertheless, we know that in John 14:6, "Jesus answered, I am the way
and
the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
This
seems to be an ominous declaration, but tempered by God's assurance.
John
3:16 says, "God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten
Son; that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but shall have eternal
life."
So you see that the question Christians are often confounded with is,
"Well,
what about the people in the far corners of the Earth, who have never
heard
of Jesus?" This makes us take a deep breath and ponder, because we do
not
want to believe that God would just leave people out, through no fault
of
their own.
This troubles us, even though we can step back and understand that
God
cannot be judged as we might judge people. After all, God created all
that
there is. He owns everything, including every creature human or
otherwise
that ever existed. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and
the End.
Nothing exists outside of God. To try to judge God on some human
threshold
is like being fit to be tied because we are forced to breathe air.
There is another angle to this; however, I am not well enough educated
in
the Scriptures to declare this as the Gospel Truth, though it seems
reasonable. You should read the entire article at the following link,
but in
a nutshell, it is saying that God's law is written on everyone's heart
(the
conscience if you will).
The Scriptures seem to indicate that judgment will be harsher for
those who
have heard the truth, but choose to turn away from it. In other words,
those
who know of Jesus, but refuse to believe. Those who have never heard
of
Jesus or of any of God's written law (as the Jews have had) still have
that
natural law of good and evil written in their hearts. Those who choose
evil,
while knowing the good, shall be judged just as harshly.
What About the Person Who Never Heard of Jesus?:
http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=2951
As is customary for my columns, the title appears to have little, if
anything, to do with my discussion so far; therefore, I will proceed
to my
ultimate destination. The Vast Left-Wing Culture of Death violates
this
innate knowledge of Good and evil, that exists in every human who
ever
lived.
The real problem with the debate about abortion is that those who have
a
vested interest in having abortion continue unhindered (for whatever
reason), have been allowed to frame the nature of life before the
moment of
birth. The natural inclination of the human mind, or that innate sense
of
God's law that is written in the hearts of all, would be to assume
that if a
living human baby comes out of its mother's body, it was likely a
living
human baby for its entire existence.
Unfortunately, pro-abortion advocates have been successful in casting
doubt
on what it is that is inside a woman's womb. The absurdity of this
condition
is that people are now confused, and have been led to doubt that
innate
knowledge of good and evil. Many have some mystical notion, that a
prenatal
child is something akin to Jack's magic beans; that at some unknown
moment
in time, poof. a blob of tissue becomes a human being.
Here we can clearly see the great lie that springs from those who
have
chosen evil over good. The content of a woman's uterus has never been
a
magic bean. It has never been a puppy, a kitten, not even a gerbil.
At
conception, when the genetic materials from two human beings combine,
a
third human life is ignited.
That life may burn for only a day or it may burn for 100 years.
Regardless
of how long it lasts, it is a human life, nevertheless. This truth is
naturally understood by every person regardless of his or her
religious
convictions, knowledge or ignorance of God or of the Good News of
Jesus
Christ.
A man or woman ignorant of the existence of the modern world, because
they
live in some prehistoric, undiscovered jungle, still has this
knowledge
ingrained in their being; perhaps, the result of that forbidden
fruit,
devoured in the Garden of Eden despite God's warning not to do so; the
fruit
from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
There is a strong force at play, working tirelessly to evil's ends.
The Vast
Left-Wing Culture of Death wants nothing less than to convince you
that
abortion is not death, but is really a means to extend life. That
message is
just as absurd and deceitful as was the lie told by the serpent to the
woman
in the Garden.

The Vast Left-Wing Culture of Death
Jesus was left wing and it's the right-wing that wages wars and denies
children basic health care.
