WITHOUT LOVE
Galatians 2: 15, "I do not frustrate the Grace of God:
for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
A way to reach the president and I did believe.
The Lord said that Bush would capture returns,
If he chose Perot to plan fiscal concerns..
Federal Express envelopes came pre-paid in the mail.
I sent the Lord’s message, which I knew could not fail.
The next thing I heard--Perot believed Satan’s lies:
That Bush was a threat to Perot’s family ties.
Clinton stepped in the gap with his flip and his flap,
Promised jobs and health, spending rich men’s wealth.
We must prevent Clinton’s dangerous fumbling,
If we don’t want disaster from nature’s rumbling.
Because earthquakes and floods
Are nothing but duds compared to what’s coming,
If we do not stop the humbug and slumming!
If we pull any more "funnies," we’ll shake New Madrid’s bunnies.
And when she starts to shake, even Washington will quake.
THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Do not play dumb. God’s Will shall be done.
We conjured this mess up from the pit.
And I cannot talk the Lord out of it.
We can go to our knees. I say we had better
Heed this warning to the very last letter.
It is not the floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes that are destroying this country. It is the sin and corruption in our government from the TOP TO THE BOTTOM. He lives!
Jesus Christ lives and is completely in charge, but we must be in obedience to His will, if we want to be blessed. Praise God!
A MYSTERY: The natural disasters are simply physical manifestations of the corruption in the hearts of all men. Come to the Lord and He
Shall save the world.
PRIVATE BEHAVIOR AFFECTS PUBLIC POLICY
What is all this talk about those who run for office having a right to do as they please in their private lives, and it is none of our business?
Of course, it is our business! At one time the people in this country, who had no ethics or moral standards of their own, would still attempt to conform to the mores of society as a matter of self-preservation. However, now all they have to do to protect their reputations is hide behind the false notion that it is none of anybody else’s business.
Whatever happened to what I was taught, "Think what would happen if everyone did what your are thinking of doing, then don’t do it." Everything that anyone does is a matter of concern to others!
The fact is that the greatest deterrent to evil behavior has always been what the neighbors would think. People who lie, cheat, steal, are unfaithful, and unconcerned about the welfare of those closest to them should not be trusted in any, business, or public office.
These faithless and untrustworthy individuals deserve to be shunned, rejected, and not elected. If a man or woman cannot be trusted by his closest loved ones, then why do these self-righteous do-gooders who defend their right to privacy think they should be trusted with the public welfare?
Forgiveness and acceptance follows public confession and sincere repentance. But cover-ups and denial of one’s obvious guilt usually leads to suspicion and rejection--and it should.
Those who do not admit their mistakes will most assuredly repeat them again and again and again. At the age of 71, I have never noted one single exception to that rule.
WHAT THE LIBERALS DON’T SEEM TO KNOW
1. That the majority of the people in the United States still believe in God, country, and motherhood.
2. That those who laughed at Dan Quale, who admitted that the first thing he would do is pray if the President died in office, offended the majority of the people in this country--BIG TIME!
3. That those who hold peace marches and tout the idea that the world can have peace by simple negotiation as long as there are powerful satanic forces in the world, arouse only contempt in the majority.
4. That those who try to pass gun laws, as long as sinful exploitative men can hold office, will only arouse the anger of honest citizens who know that the right to bear arms is the only major deterrent to a totalitarian takeover by evil men. Anyone determined to commit murder can do so with a pillow, a kitchen knife, a drink, or a homemade bomb.
5. That a majority of men still believe in the family unit and believe that mother is the best-qualified person to rear our children. A hireling to defend one’s country or to rear one’s children will do a miserable job and for exactly the same reasons. Money cannot buy love--meaning genuine concern for the welfare of others.
6. That the majority may pity homosexuals, but they still believe that homosexual activity is a threat to the family, and is an endorsement of filthy, deviant, disease-spreading sexual practices that the majority of the people abhor. They believe that no one has a right to promote any destructive life-style that infringes on the rights of the majority.
7. That the majority of the people believe that "guaranteed freedom" does not include purchasing pornographic material for public institutions or subsidizing any pornographic arts with tax money that, indeed, is an example of taxation without representation of the majority.
8. That the majority of men believe that most of the money spent by Congress is wasted or lost in a tangle of bureaucratic red tape.
9. That the majority of men believe that income tax could be cut to one-third without any loss of important benefits. If so, then mothers could stay home and more tax dollars would be saved because of the drastic reduction in teen-age crime, lawlessness, and drug addiction.
Finally, let the record show that I am an Independent voter and do not endorse either party, per se. But if the Republican Party is committed to all of the above, then many Independents, who turn the tide in all elections, will indeed elect a Republican Congress and probably a Republican president. If you do not believe me, and want the opinion of a member of two "minority groups," then ask the next black woman you meet.
AN IMMUTABLE LAW
No man has freedom to do as he pleases at the expense of his neighbor. A man’s freedom ends at his neighbors nose, and all men are obliged to enforce that immutable law of God’s which is the foundation of all other just laws made by men.
That is why anyone who is just as concerned about his neighbors welfare as he is his own cannot break God’s laws or man’s. Indeed, love, or concern for others, fulfills the whole law.
LIBERTY OR LICENSE
The political guarantee of rights is not a license for men to do as they please. Freedom is guaranteed under the law--not in spite of the law. No one is guaranteed any right that infringes on the rights of others. No one has liberty under the law to do anything at the expense of another’s liberty.
FREEDOM WHEELERS AND DEALERS
The right to deny freedom of speech
And burn the symbol of what guarantees it
Is demanded by those who would breach
Our freedom as everyone else sees it!
BROKEN HEART SYNDROME
I can’t bear the news. I quit watching T V.
Reading and viewing only hurts me.
Rumors of wars and temptations too
To bring men into bondage and debt that’s past due.
Promises of health, promises of ease,
Promises of lovers, promises to please,
Promises of peace, promises of youth,
Promises of love, promises of truth.
The lies fly and buzz, pushing sin, pulling money home,
Hungering and humming like bees in a honeycomb.
Fables that joy can be found in a drugstore--
That happiness comes, if you’re able to spend more.
Lies to enslave, lies that make men believe
Love is found in a bottle, and we must deceive.
Novels are mud holes of filth that’s sadistic,
Converting each reader to a mindless statistic.
Can you remember, when news could be true,
When gossip was harmless, just asking, "What’s new?"
We are grieved by the cons, liars with smiles,
Who callously lust and lure with their wiles.
Our hearts have been broken--have been torn in two.
Next they will say, "We have heart-mending glue!"
Most folks my age write about the past.
That’s the only good news, but it didn’t last.
The only book--the only hope--
Is John’s Revelations; Reading these, I can cope.
If we considered only those ideas that lead to constructive behavior, and eliminated all spending that condones destructive behavior, then we might be free to solve our problems. We must also stop calling one another by such divisive and inflammatory labels such as: Conservative, Liberal, Politically Incorrect, Political and/or Religious left or right, Radicals, Jesus Freaks, Communists, and more.
CLEAN UP THE SCUM ON OUR PONDS
Much confusion in this country is generated, because the people are divided into many special-interest minority groups. To compound the problem, righteous causes are aligned with causes promoted by self-interest groups on the one side and other righteous causes are connected with self-interest groups on opposing sides. Therefore we frogs do not know which pond is safe, because both ponds are covered with scum.
However, the solution is at hand, and even now the thunder of change can be heard in the distance. As lightening flashes across the sky, the righteous frogs--regardless of sex, race, color, creed, class, wealth, poverty, uniforms, designer’s clothes, or Goodwill specials--are rapidly becoming aware of the superficiality of cosmetics, plastic surgeries, and band aid solutions or any other superficial marks of distinction.
Suddenly, the righteous frogs are seeing other righteous frogs as the frogs they really are. More important, they are seeing the difference between the righteous frogs in our pond and the unrighteous snakes. The unrighteous snakes are totally unaware of the storm that is coming, because they are deaf to the thunder and blind to the lightening, but the frogs are awaiting the rains, that will fill a new pond with fresh waters. The frogs are planning to shake the dust of the dried-up old ponds from their hind legs and leave the snakes in the scum.
The big question is: "Are you an editor who wants your publications to be read, instead of just purchased by those who want to win $10,000,000.00, or a politician who really wants to be elected as a representative of the people? Or are you a snake living in a scum-covered pond that has lost the ability to determine which way the wind is blowing. I tell you truly that a new pond with fresh water is about to become the new home of righteous frogs, that are sick and tired of being swallowed alive by those blind, deaf and dumb snakes! In I Corinthians 13: 8, the Word of God states that prophecies can fail, but men must repent. It is not too late!
A NATIONAL DISGRACE
Two senior citizens went to the polls.
They were registered voters but dropped from the rolls.
They had built their own home at great sacrifice.
They obeyed all the laws, but were turned away twice.
He is a disabled veteran of World War II.
His love of country cast fear from his view.
A volunteer scout when others quailed.
But at the polls, his country failed.
His Constitutional Rights were denied at the polls,
Because he and his wife had been dropped from the rolls.
They had paid their real taxes for forty years.
Both had served in their town as unpaid volunteers.
Yet, a godless law--unconstitutional--
Was passed by their congress that classed them as criminal.
They were treated like slaves; shamed by their state.
They had not been notified of their unregistered fate.
Shocked, they protested and were told they might sign
An affidavit at the courthouse, ten miles down the line.
The judge at the polls who said this could be done
Must have talked to some joker who liked to poke fun.
They tried, but the "joke" to them wasn’t funny.
They had given full service all their lives for their money!
The wife was angry and said, "We are not leaving,
Until our rights are restored," but she was grieving.
They could not believe that this could happen to them,
When "rights" were given with a stroke of a pen,
At the expense of neighbors whom their demands irked,
Because license--not liberty--is what for them worked.
The uncaring "cat" whined, "I’ve had a bad day.
I won’t take your talking to me in that way!"
She accused, "You are disturbing the peace."
She went to the phone and called the police.
Three brawny men in uniform came.
The veteran left--his head down in shame,
But his wife screamed as the officers stared,
"Cuff and arrest me!" But nobody dared.
She could not bear the disgrace--THE NATIONAL SHAME.
Her husband had honor--a spotless good name.
So, she challenged the officers, "How would you feel--
You’ve risked your lives--if you got this raw deal?"
The officers shifted; they knew she was right.
They tried to explain, but could not help their plight.
The wife wasn’t impressed by the "bad day" of the shrew,
Because her husband had forty years of pain--nobody knew.
The grieved wife walked away, but vowed in her heart
That someone would pay for this legalized dart,
That deprived them of their rights and with gall
In a country that promised them, "Justice for all."
Any law that can be abused and then excused so that no one can prove that it has been abused is a bad law. The notification was lost in the mail? Nothing was lost in the mail! The excuse was just that, and it could be used to shift the results of an election! Maybe it was. I talked to several that evening that had the same experience!
DEJA VU!
It happened before and it is happening again. The Lord Jesus Christ predicted that just before his Second Coming, Satan, knowing his time is "short," shall go all out to deceive the world, and convince the world that there is no God. Will he succeed?
Your Individual Rights
The following paragraphs were copied from The Reader’s Digest Question and
Answer Book. Prepared in association with Hyatt Legal Services. Answers to more than 2000 questions, all in clear, simple language.
Yes. But when the Bill of Rights was written, the intention
was to restrict the role of the federal government, and the
states were not specifically required to uphold the basic
rights described in the Constitution. It was not until the
passage of the 14th Amendment after the Civil War, that
courts began to apply the provisions of the Bill of Rights
to state governments. The 14th Amendment specifies that
"no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge
privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."
(Page 452)
tried to register to vote in that election, the clerk told
her she was ineligible because she had not lived in the
state long enough. Was this legal?
Yes. A state can establish residency requirements for its
voters, as long as the requirements are not excessive. States
have residency requirements ranging from a few days to as
much as 50 days before an election, but courts have ruled
against 1-year and even 90-day residency requirements.
Had the election Bernice wanted to vote in been a
presidential election, she would have been able to vote despite
the residency requirement. It is a violation of the Voting
Rights Act to deny anyone the right to vote in a presidential
election because he or she did not meet a residency requirement.
In order to vote in a presidential election without being
registered, a person need only complete an application at the
polling place or file a certificate of an intent to vote. Each
local board of elections has its own procedure.
The election that my husband and I were denied the right to vote was a presidential election. A big mistake had been made, but if I can read at all, we still should not have been denied the right to vote, because the Champaign County Board of Elections did not have us registered. The very next person we talked to that same evening when we stopped at Kinko’s copy shop to mail some letters said to us, "The same thing happened to me!" All of us would have voted straight Republican to send a message to Democrats. I believe some Democrats would not have been elected if--???
ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LAW
Years ago we were taught in grade school that the Legislative Department of our government made the laws; the Judicial Department interpreted the laws; and Executive Department enforced the law. Is that so! Nowadays, Lawmakers break the laws; the Supreme Court makes the laws (and is not required to answer to the public for their bad decisions). And those who are supposed to execute or enforce the laws, use the law to protect rapists, the rights of disease-spreading sodomites, doctors who murder babies for filthy lucre or to rid the earth of alleged parasites on welfare, and/or worse.
Their real motive may be racial genocide of babies of children that do not have to get permission from their over-worked and over-taxed single parents to permit their babies to be murdered. Because "do-gooders" have convinced them that they have no choice, if they want a chance to have a life of their own.
You read right! They have "no choice"--not "pro-choice." They have no guidance, no advice, no supervision, and no protection from unscrupulous young men. In fact, they are conditioned to believe by the media that being "sexy" is cool, and a girl who chooses to protect her own body from exploitation is a fool. The law protects fornicators, adulterers, deadbeat fathers, child molesters, and domestic violence. You would think that their victims are the ones who are guilty!
But that is not all! If anyone protests these outrages, then they are called self-righteous bigots, and accused of denying minorities of their rights! I would like to remind women that they are not in the minority. And it is time that Christians rise up and be counted as a vast majority, who have been bullied into believing that Jesus did not get angry. It is time that Christians read Matthew 23 instead of all those "promises" they are told to stand on, if they pay tithes! Jesus stated angrily that the Pharisees "shall never be forgiven," calling them hypocrites, who plotted to kill the prophets and the Son of God!
Unless we consider that God’s love includes wrath against sin, we do not know God.
ONE LAW IS ENOUGH?
Jesus Christ gave man only one law, and said that it fulfilled the whole law. He stated that if man loved his neighbor as himself, and loved God with his whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, then we would not need any other law.
So, why do men keep passing and enforcing thousands of laws--most of which are passed to close loopholes criminals find to keep from obeying existing laws--that are already on the books. For example, why do we need more laws to guarantee equality of all men?
The laws of men have become a tangled web of legalistic deceit and chicanery, which allows the guilty to slip through its loopholes and binds the innocent into life-long suffering and condemns them to be afraid. The only salvation of the human race is that we recognize that there can never be enough prisons, law enforcement officers, or security systems in our businesses and homes, to make our world safe. We need a change in hearts that only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can bring to pass.
The Price of Taking a Stand
The doctor told me that my symptoms of pain and heaviness in my chest and extraordinary spells of weakness were probably stress-related psychosomatic illness as all test results were negative. In disbelief, I argued that I had always been as strong as an ox, as stubborn as a mule, and that I was not a hypochondriac!
I protested that I had no choice but to continue to resist evil and cruelty for the rest of my life, if it killed me!
The doctor nodded with sympathy and approval saying, "Spoken like a true mule!" Anyone who is not persecuted by Satan is probably not giving him any trouble!
IDENTIFYING THE THIEVES
Recently, a T V newscaster told of a poll in which fifty-one percent of the persons questioned admitted that they would cheat on their income tax, if they could be sure of not being caught. The newscaster implied that this fact was appalling because so many persons felt little shame about being dishonest.
Actually, the poll proved no such thing. What the poll proved was that a majority of men distrust the government and truly believe that the income tax that they pay is squandered. They do not think that they are "cheating" by withholding as much money as possible from the government. They truly believe that they are protecting the money they have earned by the sweat of their brows from the real thieves.
Most men believe that, if given the opportunity, they could spend their money much more efficiently and put it to much better use than the government can do for them.
Nevertheless, breaking the laws of man--no matter how unjust they may be--is not the solution to the problem. But identifying the real thieves is a beginning.
Taxation without representation is worse today than it was when the colonists risked their lives and were prepared to kill and lay down their own lives in the Revolutionary War to gain their independence from the tyranny and exploitation of the British Crown. What is surprising is that so many of the descendants of those brave colonists tolerate even worse tyranny and exploitation today.
Governments have never been efficient about spending taxes. Christians are best qualified to do that, and every denomination has proved that fact. Over fifty percent of man’s labor goes for taxes of one kind or another, and almost all of that tax cannot even pay the interest on the national debt.
High taxes are a major cause of broken homes, poverty, and despair. It is too bad we cannot return to an old Jewish law and declare that all debts--including the national debt-- be forgiven every seven year, destroying all records of indebtedness. No change would take place in life-styles--just freedom from debt--and drastically reduced taxes.
ON ANITA HILL
I do not think anyone should take the babbling of the baby of any family seriously, if he/she makes bizarre accusations, just because someone will not give into his/her demands. In this case, Judge Thomas was pro-life and Anita was pro-choice. She worked with him for years without incident until she decided to slander him, when he would be in a position to decide against her pro-choice views.
We do need to know something about the backgrounds of persons in public life. For example, the youngest of thirteen children, as any mother of a large family can tell you, begins at an early age to cry out against the older siblings who get in his/her way. Since the youngest children never have the opportunity to learn to give into the cries of those who are younger, they form a life time habit of complaining to their parents against siblings, to their teachers against classmates, and to their superiors against rivals.
They become quite skilled at making these complaints, so that they can do so without conscience, and with charm and composure, convinced it is their duty to do so!
The youngest children, if honest, make excellent salespersons or they also can become the most dangerous animals on earth--the con-artists or sociopath personalities.
To be fair, I shall mention that the oldest child has the reputation for being either skilled at leadership or a tyrant, depending on how well disciplined he/she is. The position in one’s family does not determine one’s character, integrity, or even a sense of responsibility. But it has a great deal to do with later success in occupations, because of personality traits. Middle children learn to be diplomatic, are cooperative, and may do well in middle management positions, or they may become skilled at playing one person against another to their own advantage.
Can’t you just imagine the harried and harassed mother of thirteen children repeatedly saying, "For the sake of peace and quiet, give baby Anita her way!" And the older children comply. What is fascinating is that baby Anita should be thankful that her mother was not pro-choice or Baby Anita might not have been chosen!
THE NITTY-GRITTY
Anyone who repeatedly rejects the truth as written in the Word of God, may hear these words on Judgment Day, "You fell for the lies of Satan. I do not know you. Go to Hell!" or words to that effect. The painful part is that the rejection may be followed by a mocking snicker by Satan himself, saying, "Next sucker!" as he slinks away gloating.
LIBERALS, CONSERVATIVES, AND RADICALS
Who are the liberals and who are the conservatives? I have observed only a few persons in my lifetime that were conservative concerning their behavior and liberal toward the behavior of others. Most persons that I have known are radicals who defend their own behavior to the bitter end, and radically condemn that of others--also to the bitter end.
DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THESE LIES?
Many fanatics that wish to promote racism, genocide, euthanasia, and the murder of unborn children actually quote Scripture to justify their positions. Do those persons that know anything at all about Jesus Christ believe He is a male "Chauvinist" pig?
"Chauvinist" is a corruption of the term, "Shavianist," because Chauvin was a super-patriot who blindly followed Napoleon. George Bernard Shaw hated feminine women, and favored using peasant women as baby factories. His disciples were called "Shavians." He was a pseudo-intellectual, who fawned over the works of Nietszche, the humanist, who argued that "God is dead."
Therefore, we have atheists, who are woman-haters and want them to be sex objects, and Neo-Nazis, who hate Jews in the name of Jesus, who was a Jew, and racists who advocate genocide of blacks. Racists claim blacks have the mark of Cain (Cain’s descendants died in the flood), and they all justify murder, genocide, racism, slavery, and hatred by the Word of God in the name of Jesus Christ. What kind of fools do these people take us for? Not you, I hope!
IT IS THE LAW
Racketeers vandalize property, and then demand a fee from the owners of that property in exchange for "protecting" the victims from vandalism. Such criminal behavior is commonly called the "Protection Racket," punished severely in court, if these racketeers are caught and convicted.
Unfortunately, too many trial attorneys are also in the protection racket only they have found a way to do it legally and even collect handsome fees for their trouble. For example: Attorneys charge the opponents of their clients with "harassment" on the slightest provocation to keep their clients from working out their problems themselves, thus forcing their clients to communicate through them to the tune of at least $l00.00 an hour.
And perish the thought that their clients might reach an agreement so that the lawyers are not needed at all! Furthermore, the attorneys communicate in private with one another (once considered to be outrageously unethical) to figure out how they can keep the hostility going. They "vandalize" or "victimize" their clients and then offer to "protect" them during a very expensive trial, for an even fatter fee.
No wonder the Lord advised us not to go to lawyers against our neighbors, but rather He suggested that we solicit mediation by the elders of the Church. Sounds like a bargain to me, even if you pay your tithes! Furthermore, your marriage just might be saved, and everyone knows how expensive maintaining two households can be.
LEGAL LOOPHOLES
When men try to untangle the laws that they made, they usually make tangled loopholes for the unjust criminals to crawl through.
LAWS AND MORE LAWS
Men can be dangerous. If they want to kill,
It’s not their guns. It is their will.
The danger, my friend, is not in the guns.
It’s all in the minds of mad, vengeful ones.
If a killer is bent on destroying a life,
He can use a pillow, or a drink, or a knife.
You cannot stop murder by passing a law.
You can only change hearts with your pen and your jaw.
Make guns illegal, and the men who’ll obey
Are not really the ones who would get in a fray.
The same rule applies concerning abortion.
Laws just result in illegal extortion.
The law cannot save; The Lord is the One,
Who changes hearts in which murder is done.
If we would repent and stop all our sinning,
The war against crime would be for the winning.
Tell men not to fear those that should be in jail,
But call upon Jesus; Let His work prevail.
Then we can forget the laws passed by men.
Otherwise, men shall mourn, "What might have been."
Prisoners of Love
If the Gospel of Jesus Christ were preached and received by those in our prisons, the prisons would become monasteries filled with love and joy and the inmates would live together in peaceful celibacy. Our sinful natures imprison us, not our circumstances.
Those men who think they are free may be in prison, and those in prison may be free.
No one can take advantage of a dedicated Christian. Such a Christian is a volunteer, knowing that rewards are without measure for giving, serving, loving, and forgiving, which is joy. They also have freedom from fear--the best freedom of all!
THE ABORTION RITE, Part l
Alleged authorities, political do-gooders, pseudo scientists, and intellectual fools that spout nonsense about fetuses being "things" are liars. I will explain.
Everyone talks about teen-agers, but folks would never say that a teen-ager is just a thing. At least they wouldn’t say it to their faces. A teen-ager is not a "thing" and is not a "human being" per se, because "teen-age" refers to a stage of development of a living human organism between the ages 12 and 20.
Applying the same logic to the term fetus, a fetus is neither a "thing," nor is it a human being, per se. The term fetus refers to the fetal stage of development of a living human organism, if being carried in the womb of a female human being.
The stage of development called fetal is between three months of prenatal life to the time that the human organism is delivered. At delivery, the human organism is in the stage of development often referred to as "infancy."
No matter what stage of development the living human organism is experiencing--fetal, infancy, teenage or senility, the organism is both living and human. To destroy a living human organism at any stage of development is murder. Murder is a crime.
THE ABORTION RITE, Part II
I compared the teen-age stage of development to the fetal stage of development of living human organisms, concluding that destroying that organism at any stage of development was murder. For making that comparison, I was accused of being simplistic, then was blasted with justifications for "killing" any other living human organism by an anonymous caller on the phone--after which he hung up.
I was not discussing all the aspects of "killing" versus "murder" in the above definition of the term, "fetus." I could not do so in a few words. I will explain.
If I were discussing murder, I would begin with the most common and obvious ideas most of us agree to be a reasonable definition of "murder;" that is, "Deliberately destroying the life of a normal, healthy, and innocent living human organism." Then I would be obliged to define what most of us may or may not agree are the reasonable definitions of: "deliberately," "normal," "healthy," and "innocent." I will explain.
For example: Did the drunk driver who killed two people "deliberately" murder them? Did the man who shot to scare another man but killed him instead murder him "deliberately"? Does the doctor who gives a woman anesthesia, crushes the skull of her unborn child, and sucks out his brains, "deliberately" commit murder?
As for "normal," try to find a psychiatrist who has studied dozens of textbooks for an equal number of years who would admit that he is qualified to define, "normal." Or a physician with credentials equal to the psychiatrist’s who would profess to know what "healthy" means. They would have difficulty determining these factors in individual cases, much less as applied to "all living human organisms."
As for "innocent!" Go to the law library, and ask the librarian for information on "innocent." If she doesn’t scream for the paddy wagon to come to take you away--or herself--then think: O. J. Simpson trials in terms of "guilt" and "innocent."
Most of my friends wish I were simplistic, or even simple-minded like someone who attempts to explain "murder" in a few snapped-together sentences in anonymous phone calls.
Comment: Since when, does anyone have the right to "choose" to take the life of a healthy, normal, innocent living human organism? If the terms, "healthy, normal, and/or innocent" are open to question, then experts should be called in to decide the matter after careful deliberation. Every living human organism is guaranteed a trial by jury of one’s peers who are determined to be without bias or prejudice under the Constitution of the United States, before being condemned to die. Without "bias" means without any "conflict of interests," which would exclude doctors who perform abortions for pay.
RISE UP, O’ ISRAEL!
Rise up, O’ Israel! Let the scales fall from your eyes and your blindness be uncovered. Look up and see your Lord and Savior as it was prophesied from the beginning.
The days of the Gentiles have been fulfilled. Hallelujah and Amen! The dogs among them have returned to their vomit and the hogs to wallow in their mire. They will gnash their teeth as they read this judgment, because many have returned to their paganism, godlessness, abominations and idolatries, worshipping crystals, magnets, the stars, and talismans, and consulting Satan’s guidance in seances and through psychic mediums.
Rise up, God’s Chosen People, and worship the Lord of lords, The King of the Jews, who brought you out of your bondage. He is calling you forth out of bondage again.
The Lord God Jehovah has never forsaken you. He has heard your cries, known your suffering and persecutions, and has shed His blood for your salvation. Like a mother hen gathers her chickens under her wings, He is gathering the Israelites together.
Jesus Christ, the rightful heir, is coming to claim His throne. He is calling you, His Chosen People, to call the world to repentance and proclaim the gospel of your God and your Lord to the world. Let those who have ears to hear: Know and understand that circumcision of the heart is the mark of the Jew under the New Covenant.
The Apostles were Jews--not Gentiles--and Peter is passing the flame of the church, membership in the Body of Christ, back to you.
Rise up, O’ Israel. The Only--I repeat--ONLY Begotten Son of God--was not created, but came out of the bosom of Our Lord God Jehovah, "Our Father." He is calling you forth to proclaim His Second Coming into the world. You are to carry the torch of His Church and call the peoples of the world to repentance, for the Day of the Lord is at hand. (This message was given to me in February, l989.)
