“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1)
A preacher will never run out of messages or sermons to preach because the Word of God is inexhaustable. Scripture being inexhaustable is not the only reason the preacher will never run out of message. The wickedness of this world and it’s depraved inhabitants will always provide material for preaching and proclaiming.
Today, I read a post from my brother on FB. This post said something like, how ironic it is that Planned Parenthood is planning to protest guns in order to save the lives of children. Yeah, reader, take a minute and think about that. The post my brother re-posted called it irony and I suppose it could be considered ironic, but I think a better description would be a blatant and blinded display of arch-hypocrisy. I responded by saying that this protest is similar to a narcisist condemning narcisism and not realizing the hypocrisy of his whole existence.
Another person replied to my brother’s post by saying…..get this, “How many times do I have to say it, Planned Parenthood is not an abortion clinic.” Her… i’m going to use the words, forgive me. Her comment is so stupid and idiotic. She is saying it is not an abortion clinic because it provides other beneficial services. Her argument, if it could be called an argument is a kin to saying MacDonald’s isn’t a hamburger joint because it serves coffee and ice cream in addition to hamburgers.
This statement is going to be very general but it will be able to stand as largely true and valid. Most pro death-mills, most pro death mongers, most pro baby murder advocates are also atheistic and believe in evolution. Now watch this… These pro baby murder proponents believe, religiously, that the universe was cause by a great explosion of events. They believe our entire universe was cause by chance and came from a non-life source. However, they advocate for the position that a living egg from a woman and a living sperm from a male does not constitute life. Did you see it? Did you see the stupidity and idiocy?
Another generalization, but largely proveable, is that these same pro-death persons believe the person who believes in the death penalty and is pro-life is a contradiction. These pro-baby killing advocates cannot see a distinction between abortion, the murder of an innocent life and the justified killing of a murderer. If you don’t believe me ask someone you know that is pro baby murder, ask them if abortion and capital punishment are mutually exclusive and they will answer in the affirmitive, in other words, they will say a person is not consistent if they hold a pro life and pro capital punishment position.
Human behaviour is a very interesting but ultimately a very dark study matter. Aperson in this world should not be considered a critical or sound thinker if they believe in the basic goodness of man. The persons that say, “I never thought X would be capable of ….” are blind persons either leading other blind persons or being led by another blind person. Every person alive is capable of anything, especially if they be lost.
The sweetest looking old lady could be a murderer, research The Wests, a serial killing elderly couple in England. Children are capable of the most horrific of crimes. Many children would test as psycopaths when given the test, research it and see. There are two (2) cases in China of young children, now free and there where-abouts unknown, who killed other children.
A young boy killed another young boy, this young viper wanted to emulate the Zodiac killer from sixties (60’s) America. The young Zodiac wannabe dismembered the young victim, put his head on a pike in front of an elementary school and hid the other dismembered parts in places that would provide the greatest shock value. The young killer…murderer rather, sent taunting letters to the police, ala the Zodiac. The other was a young girl who followed another young girl into a class room and slit her victims throat because she said something mean to her earlier. Humanity is not “basically good,” but intrinsically and innately evil.
Do not think me jaded or discouraged. I am neither. The facts are the facts and it is what it is, right? The above simply proves the position and truths found in God’s Word. I’m not saying that every person is hiding a Mr. or Mrs. Hyde inside. What I am saying that persons, especially unsaved persons, when pushed to their limits will turn. A person, especially the lost will eat others when hungry enough. History has proven this more than once. Pigs will go wild after three days on the loose and unfed. People may take a little longer but they too will turn.
To prove my point, I simple point out that persons with great power can abuse that power. Persons with nothing and no power can also abuse their condition by harming others. You see either extreme can produce the same. The leftist mindset thinks that poverty and poor education produces criminals. Yet, a defense lawyer, a few years ago, used the argument of affluence for his young criminals defense. In other words the liar..err, lawyer’s argument was the parants spoiled the child so much that he thought he was above the law. Reader, I’m not making this stuff up, do the research yourself.
Another argument is the sociopath and the spoiled. A person can be “made” a sociopath due to his or her upbringing or lack thereof. A spoiled rotten viper can also become sociopathic due to his parents never disciplining their little honey-pie. In Scripture, Absolom’s upbringing was implied as the cause of his betrayal and crime. Absolom was the son of King David and King David never did that which would displease young Absolom.
It may seem I have gotten off track. Instead of the article being about abortion it turned into an article on human depravity and human atrocity. But really and truly, is not the former and the latter the same creature?
Another point I would like to state is the inaccuracy of labeling humans that perpertrate great crimes as monsters. Humans that perpetrate great crimes are humans perpetrating great crimes. Society portrays these criminals as monsters because persons want to distance themselves from the atrocities produced by everyday persons. It’s a kin to a husband who murders his wife and then refers to his dead wife as her and she instead of using the name. It’s an attempt to disassociate one’s self from the ugliness of reality.
It is written, our Lord Jesus, “needed not that any should testify of man: for [H]e knew what was in man.” Likewise, the same can be said of the Christ-like. The person that is seeking Christ-likeness and Christ-mindedness need not be told humanity is basically good for s/he “[knows] what is in man.”
