A common chain of immorality: lust leads to fornication, and fornication leads to murder.
The Humanist Manifesto says this: ‘We assert that humanism will … affirm life rather than deny it …’ and also, ‘The right to … abortion … should be recognized.’
The humanist will affirm their own life while denying life to the little ones who have absolutely no say in the matter: “The right to … abortion …should be recognized.” The right to MURDER millions of babies should be recognized.
Regarding the chain of immorality, I thought of this Gordon Clark quote (commenting on 1 Corinthians 7:3-6):
‘In view of contemporary demands for abortion it is interesting to note that the New Testament disallows one of the women libbers’ [1] frequent arguments: Should not a woman have control over her own body! The answer is, No. So far as married persons are concerned, Paul points out some mutual responsibilities. One of the purposes of marriage is to beget and rear children. A wife has no right to deny her husband this fulfillment of the marriage obligation. As for contemporary unmarried abortionists, it is clear that these women had previously decided what to do with their bodies. That is how they got pregnant. They should now be held responsible and prevented from committing murder" (Gordon H. Clark, First Corinthians Commentary, pp. 96-97, Trinity Foundation 1975).
[1] Two or three centuries from now, if someone should come upon this volume as an antique, he may be puzzled by the contemporary phrase ‘women libbers.’ Libbers are people who want to be liberated. Women’s Lib, at the present time, is a movement whose members demand the civil right to promiscuity with the subsequent murder of the child conceived.
The millions of babies whom these ‘liberated’ women desire to maliciously murder are NOT ‘their own bodies’ that they can have the kind of control over in order to murder at will. God through the apostle James says:
‘From where do wars and fightings among you come? Is it not from this, from your lusts warring in your members? You desire and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are not able to obtain. You fight and you war, and you do not have, because you do not ask. You ask, and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, in order that you may spend on your lusts. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, purposes to be a friend of the world is put down as hostile to God’ (James 4:1-4).
The lust of multitudes ends in much murderous blood shed. James says that people war and fight because of lust. In the case of abortion, multitudes of lustful, whore-mongers are also war-mongers who are warring against 50 million infants.
Reminds me of the following words in the song ‘A Malediction’ by Kemper Crabb:
“Conceived in lust to their own ruin - a sacrifice to pleasure.”
Just eleven words, but packed full. I don’t know of any other eleven words that encapsulate the victimhood of murdered unborn babies more than these eleven words. Just think about it.
Conceived in lust - The circumstances surrounding the conception of the ‘unwanted’ unborn baby are those of lust and fornication. They were conceived because those who conceived them acted on their immoral desires. Whatever feels good, right? And this ‘good feeling’ resulted in the conception of a human being.
To their own ruin - Although these unborn babies did not choose to be conceived in lust, their conception was to their own demise because of the wickedness of those who conceived them.
A sacrifice to pleasure - That unborn baby was sacrificed to the god of pleasure. To fulfill the desires of the god of pleasure, an unborn baby, a human being, is ripped apart. It is a child sacrifice on the altar of pleasure. The ones who conceived him/her didn’t want this ‘thing’ to ruin their wicked pleasure. So when it came to the choice to fulfill their wicked lusts and murder a human being who was the product of that fulfillment or abstain from fulfilling their wicked lusts and not conceive a human being to murder it, they chose their lusts over human life. That’s ‘pro-choice’ for you. They chose to fulfill their pleasure, and then when a human being was the result, they chose to murder that human being.
How is it that all who advocate sexual promiscuity are also advocates of abortion? Why are all the ‘free love’ and ‘free sex’ people advocates of abortion? Why are all the humanists advocates of abortion? Well, it’s easy enough to see, isn’t it? What feels good, including the wicked pleasure of sexual intercourse outside of Christian marriage, trumps everything, even the life of a helpless baby. Consequences? What consequences? Responsibility? What responsibility? If you can murder the consequence of your irresponsibility, then the consequences and responsibility just go away in their minds. Pleasure is everything. Whatever makes me feel good, no matter what or who else gets sacrificed.
A sacrifice to pleasure.
Yet there are consequences. God says this:
‘But outside [are] the dogs and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving a lie, and making it.’ (Revelation 22:15)
‘But for the cowardly and unbelieving, and those having become foul, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the lying ones, their part will be in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.’ (Revelation 21:8)
What human being with a conscience would say that abortion is not murder? What kind of monsters could defend and even perform such procedures? What kind of Supreme Court Justice scum could say that a woman has a ‘right’ to have such a thing done to her child? Yet this is the law of the land. And not only of this land, but all around the world.
Do you love this wicked, humanistic, lustful, adulterous, murderous world? I hate the world.
‘Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, because all that which [is] in the world: the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world’ (1 John 2:15-16).
Amen.
'And call on Me in the day of distress, and I will save you; and you shall glorify Me. But to the wicked, God says, What is it to you to proclaim My statutes, and to take up My covenant on your mouth? Yea, you hate instruction and toss My Words behind you. When you saw a thief, you were pleased with him; and with adulterers is your portion" (Psalm 50:15-18).
