I was at work yesterday and a worker of mine said, " you know, those Christians are trying to stop the drug that would get rid of a baby resulting from a rape". I said," well, you mean me too right?". I then asked him if it was meant to be taken after conception and he said yes. I said well it is abortion then which under ANY circumstance is wrong. You could just feel the hatred and disgust coming from him. I pray for him daily that the Holy Spirit will convict him, it was just that that was the first time in my Christian walk that I have encountered that. I'm also sure it won't be the last! In His Service, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we share the love of God, we shall reach many people for Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have it really easy in these days, when you compare to the suffering of past. At this point in my christian walk I would be more than willing to die for Yeshua, I had problems with this early in my christian life, but I have let everything go, and am in full force with the L-rd. I look forward to the persecution of Christians, just for the fact that it will bring out the TRUE believers in Yeshua. In due time we will see the true believers of Yeshua, and who will go all the way for His sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we go through now is nothing compared to what our early brothers and sisters faced. Just thought I'd share my experience. Also. what we will face in the coming days will as well be catastrophic. Stay firm in your faith no matter what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had lots of strong discussions with people over my prinicpals. I got rejected by my maternal family because of it - the story doesn't end there, because years later, they gave their hearts to the Lord. My sister is a recovering alcohol and drug addict. Her love for the Lord grows stronger each new day. STand STrong. Be A Shining light.

I was raised in a Jewish home and to say the least my father has not accepted the idea very well. I just lost my grandparents last year and they were Jewish as well and never accpeted Christ. I'm just so grateful I have all the family I need through Christ the King!!! Edited November 29, 2005 by damar91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need to realize that G-d is in total control, he know's everyones hearts, and eventually they will get what they deserve. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a baby is aborted or miscarried, don't you suppose God will take the baby up to heaven or do something wonderful with the spirit and life that was intended for that baby? So in all actuality does it really matter if a baby was aborted even if abortion is a sin, wouldn't the baby be fine under God's care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
