The Lie That a Child is Aborted to Save the Life of the Mother

Both this picture and the testimony of a sidewalk councilor got me to thinking about something. There are risk to pregnancy; if we deny that, we are either being deceitful or ignorant. And we know the reason why. The fall! 

"To the woman He said,

“I will greatly multiply

Your pain in childbirth,

In pain you will bring forth children;

Yet your desire will be for your husband,

And he will rule over you.” Genesis 3:16

I am absolutely sure without saying this that you are aware of a lethal condition of pregnancy called: preeclampsia and eclampsia. This condition does not develop until the later half of pregnancy, towards the end of the second trimester or the beginning of the third trimester. That being said Dr Coop is correct, there is never an instance in which a baby has to be aborted to save the life of the mother. Do women die from complications of pregnancy? They sure do! :( So how can we both say that women can die from complications of pregnancy and there is never an instance in which a baby had to be aborted to save the life of the mother. It is because of what abortion is. Murder! That is the taking of the life of another human being by malice of forethought. The only cure for preeclampsia is to end the pregnancy, but you don't murder the baby to save the mother. You allow the pregnancy to go as far as possible before it becomes life threatening to both mother and baby, then deliver the baby early, attempting to save both mom and baby. There is never an instance in which a baby has to be aborted to save the life of the mother.

If you have had an abortion or participated in an abortion in anyway which includes I ride to and from the clinic and are repentant towards God for your sin, I want you to hear the good news. There is forgiveness of all sins to those who have repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ alone. God is good, He is holy, and He is just. God is also gracious. How can a holy God allow sinful people into His kingdom and remain holy, how can a just God forgive sinful people and remain just? The good news is that God came in human flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. Fully God and fully Man and yet without sin. He is the only man who has ever lived that deserves to go to heaven, but He did something wonderful. He laid His life down for the ungodly! Christ Jesus took the punishment for His sheep and gave them His righteous standing before God. Who are His sheep? Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand." 

"For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God."

Christ died and is risen, because He is risen you can trust and expect Him to deliver everything that He said that He would deliver. "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Who Will Set Me Free

Dear brother;

I begin this letter to a bother, because what the Lord has put on my heart to say today is not for the unbeliever, but it is solely for the one who has been born again, redeemed by the blood of Christ Jesus through faith in Him alone. So if you have not been born of God, if today you have pleasure in your sin; do not read this letter. Instead repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ alone. But if you have been born again, if the Lord has given you a new heart, a heart that hates your sin, a heart that desires God, to please Him and you have put your faith in Christ Jesus alone as the propitiation for your sins then this letter is for you.

Brother I have some good news for you and this is beyond good news, it is amazing. You being a believer in Christ Jesus know and understand that by the blood of Christ Jesus through faith in Him alone we have been redeemed, reconciled to God and that by the grace of God alone. (See Romans 3:21-28) Knowing this we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation (Romans 5:11). Yet many of us while knowing this walk through this life defeated, believing that the abundant life that Christ promised us will come at a later date. We walk about this life in anticipation of the glory that is to come. We think that while we have been saved from the penalty of sin by the blood of Christ Jesus through faith, that salvation from the dominion or rule of sin is something that is yet to come. Jesus said, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:31-32 NASB) Then when they scoffed at Him for saying this He said; “Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:34-36 NASB)

Have you ever seen a person that is trapped; they are struggling to be set free, they are panicked, and they are fear stricken; then after being released from what was holding them they remain panicked and fear stricken until someone tells them, “You’re ok! You’re free from that burden that was holding you”.

I was telling a brother just the other day what the Christian’s standing is before God and he had to pause for a moment to take it in. The Christian’s standing before God is one of perfection. The Christian’s standing is one of righteousness, even the righteousness of God (Romans 3:21-22). Yes, I understand brother that this standing that we have been given by the grace of God is hard to wrap your mind around, but it is true. In order for us to come into the presence of God we must be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. So then, the Christian’s standing can be nothing less than the perfect righteousness of God. Effectually, through faith in Christ Jesus we died with Christ and have been raised to walk in newness of life. “For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 6:10-11 NASB) Brother, did you see that? Because of what Christ has done consider yourself dead to sin!

Now what does that mean, that we are dead to sin? “For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” (Romans 6:14 NASB) “But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.” (Romans 7:6 NASB)

Brother, this is the good news; we are not under Law but under grace. Because Christ Jesus died once to sin for all, we who put our faith in Him alone effectually died to sin. Because Christ Jesus is raised, He lives to God forevermore; we who put our faith in Him alone are effectually alive to God forevermore. Sin has no dominion over us because in Christ Jesus we died to sin and are alive to God forevermore. We are not in any way under Law but under grace. If you are not under Law then you cannot break the Law. The Christian has been released from the Law. He cannot be condemned by the Law nor is bound by the Law as a means of righteousness. Effectually his state is that of one who cannot sin. His sin is not imputed to him but was imputed to Christ on the cross. If your faith is in Christ alone, because he died to sin once for all, the Christian cannot sin because he cannot break that which he is not bound too. Now make no mistake, I am not talking about the presence of sin in the Christian’s life. We will not be saved from the presence of sin until we take off this tent of corruption and are clothed with our dwelling from heaven, but in this present time we are saved from the dominion of sin, because our state before God is that of one who cannot sin, perfect before God, even the righteousness of God.

So why talk about this? “ The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 5:20-21 NASB). “For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death” (Romans 7:5 NASB). If you believe that you are in some way under the Law, and you are focused on the Law as the means to resist sin you will be defeated by sin. That is the effect of the Law on sin, so that the transgression would increase. But if you understand that you are dead to sin, and are not under Law, but under grace, sin has no dominion over you; “so that we serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. We have been set free brothers and sisters from the burden of sin and death. We can now live the abundant life in Christ Jesus not concerning ourselves with the letter of the Law, but to walk in newness of life, loving God and loving our neighbor. “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1 NASB).

“So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.…..” Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.”

The proceeding passage is of Romans 5:18-21 & Romans 8:1-2 put together, which shows the purpose for which Romans 6 & 7 have been given to us. The apostle Paul could have ended with Romans 5:21 and picked up with Romans 8:1 and not missed a beat, the truth of our standing before God; that is, perfect righteousness, even the righteousness of God has been imparted. But inevitably when this truth is made known these questions will be asked:
1. Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
2. Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace?
3. Is the Law sin?
4. Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me?

The apostle Paul asked these questions rhetorically then answered each time with a resounding; “May it never be!” Then gave a thorough exposition to each, and that is the purpose for which Romans 6 & 7 have been given to us. Dear brother, don’t miss the purpose!

The Conflict of Two Natures

“Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)

I read this passage this morning in the context of the Lord’s Prayer to the Father at Gethsemane. When I read it the Lord revealed something to me that I had understood but not fully grasped. I am born again! I understood that prior to this, but did not fully grasp the context of what that means. Needless to say this has been a wonderful day of revelation from the Lord.

Jesus said to the Pharisee Nicodemus; "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God……"unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:3,5-6)

According to Ephesians 2:2-3 there are these three:
1. The world
2. The spirit
3. The flesh

Jesus said, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” (John 6:63) When we preach the gospel we tell people to REPENT AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL. The word Repent is translated from a Greek word METANOEO, which means to think differently, to reconsider, or change your mind. Or another way that you could say it would be, have a different spirit. We know from Ephesians 2:1 that prior to being born again we were dead in our trespasses and sins, and we truly were. We were dead to God. Christ Jesus came in human flesh and redeemed our soul in His blood through faith. The man who truly believes in Christ Jesus has been born again and saved from the wrath of God for his sins. “Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” (Romans 5:9) He is a new creature, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

As stated earlier there are these three:
1. The world
2. The spirit
3. The flesh.

I ask you, of these three which one is new for the man who has been born again? Is it the world, did he change or did the world around him change? Is it his flesh, did he get a new body, as Nicodemus asked the Lord; did he enter into his mother’s womb a second time? The world around him did not change, and his flesh did not change. What changed, what was made new? It is the Spirit that now dwells within him, the Spirit of God. The Lord has given us His Spirit as a pledge that we belong to Him. (See Galatians 5:5)

We know that one day this world will be destroyed with fire and in its place will be a new heaven and new earth. “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.” (Revelation 21:1) We also know that one day we will take off this body of corruption and put on a new body, our heavenly body. “For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.” (Galatians 5:1-5)

Prior to being born again the spirit that was working inside you was “the prince of the power of the air”, that is Satan. For the man who has been born again, Satan has been vanquished and Christ has been lifted up; “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." (John 12:32-33)

Now the man who has been born again has received a new nature, the Spirit of Christ. You remain in a world opposed to God and also in flesh that sets its desires against the Spirit. There is a continual battle for dominance that goes on with the man of God all the days that he walks the earth between the flesh and Spirit. The desires of the flesh are self serving; the desires of the Spirit are to love God and other people. As a believer is sanctified, the Spirit has dominance over the flesh, but the flesh is not redeemed and always opposed to the Spirit. “For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.” (Galatians 5:17)

I am writing this to you brethren as a warning. Never think that you have dominance over your flesh, never think you have victory over your flesh, and never think your flesh has been redeemed. Your soul/life has been redeemed by the grace of God by the blood of Christ Jesus through faith in Him alone. The Father has given you to the Son, granting you repentance and faith, giving you His Spirit as a pledge. Never brothers and sisters consider your flesh redeemed, because it is not, and is always opposed to the Spirit of God. One day we will take off this earthly tent and put on a heavenly tent, but until then, a battle rages within. “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.” (1 Corinthians 10:12) “Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)

What is Sin

What Is Sin?

Lawlessness - That is doing what you know to be wrong. 

(1 John 3:4)

"Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness."

Passiveness - That is knowing the right thing to do and not doing it. 

(James 4:17)

"Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin."

Faithlessness - That is anything done without faith in God. 

(Romans 14:23)

"But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin."

Jesus never did what He knew to be wrong, always did what He knew to be right, and everything He did through faith in God. 

"Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us." (Romans 8:34)

The Incomprehensible Jesus

It is incomprehensible as a creature himself being bound by time, space, and matter; too comprehend our Creator and Lord Jesus, the Devine Being Who upholds all things by the word of His power, neither Himself bound by time, nor space, nor matter. Who made Himself subject to His own creation, becoming a Man, walking amongst us, tasting death on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

John 1:1-5

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."

Colossians 1:16-17

"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."

Hebrews 1:1-4

"God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they."

Hebrews 2:9

"But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone."

2 Corinthians 5:21

"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

What Is a Christian?

A Christian is a person who puts their faith in Christ Jesus alone for the forgiveness of their sins.

“So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:7-11)
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:27-28)
“Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26)
“Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” (John 14:6)

A Christian does not boast in himself (his works); he boast in Christ alone.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
“Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.” (Romans 3:27-28)
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” (Romans 10:4)

A Christian preaches Christ Jesus and Him crucified alone for the forgiveness of sins.

“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2)
“But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” (Galatians 6:14)

For this reason if anyone adds works too or takes away from the cross of Christ Jesus let them be accursed; do not listen to them or even invite them into your home.

“But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!” (Galatians 1:8-9)
