Yawning... But Unprotected

A 4D ultrasound scan shows a foetus yawning in the womb during a study by Durham and Lancaster Universities and released in Durham, northern England
4D scans show fetuses yawn in the womb

Notes: 

  • In the United States, on average one out of five of these babies will die before seeing light.  

  • The rate of abortions is highest among blacks (which would bring joy to Planned Parenthood's founder), and inside Democrat controlled states (NY, CA) and population centers (NYC, LA).  These minorities (along with the help of other Democrat Party supporters) continually help re-elect government leaders who promote the legalization and business of the murder of their own.  Such is the depravity of the human heart.

  • The majority of abortions are performed by curettage.  Please read the post below about this vile procedure.

  • I believe most people (including Republicans) are more worried about the economy... because our nation's god is materialism... and Dagon is falling on his face.

The Details of Death

What exactly takes place during every abortion?

Three main methods are used to end the life of an unborn child.  First, for early pregnancies, there is the dilation and curettage technique (D&C).  The cervix is first dialated, and a tube is inserted into the mother's uterus.  This tube is attached to a suction apparatus that tears the little baby apart and deposits him or her into a jar. 

A curette (a surgical instrument shaped like a scoop to remove tissue from a bodily cavity) is then used to scrape the wall of the uterus to remove any part's of the baby's body that might still be present.  Often the suction tube is not used at all, and the curette is simply used to cut the baby's body to pieces and scrape out the placenta.

After about the third month of pregnancy, this techniques becomes too dangerous for the mother, so a saline abortion is employed.  This might be called salt poisoning.  A solution of concentrated salt is injected into the amniotic fluid in the sac around the growing baby.  The salt is absorbed by the baby who is poisoned to death after about an hour.  The outer layer of his or her skin is burned off by the salt; and about a day later, the mother goes into labor and delivers a discolored and shriveled-up baby. 

A few such babies have been delivered alive, although they rarely survive long.

Prostaglandins can also be used after the third month of pregnancy.  Prostaglandin chemicals are injected into the uterus, causing the mother to go into premature labor and deliver a dead baby.  However, prostaglandin babies have been born alive, much to the embarrassment of some pro-abortion camps.

The third method, which is used for more developed pregnancies, is the hysterotomy.  This is like a Caesarean operation, except that in the hysterotomy, the object is not to save the child but to kill him or her.  In this case, the baby has to be either killed outright or allowed to die...

Female Infanticide in the Shadows


Female infanticide is the intentional killing of baby girls due to the preference for male babies and from the low value associated with the birth of females.

An abortion is the intentional killing of a baby due to the preference of the mother (who is often misinformed, misguided, confused, stressed, hopeless, or abandoned).

Planned Parenthood is the organization that operates these murder-mills. Our taxpayer money helps fund them, thanks to the Democratic Party.

The Democrats, on May 31, 2012, defeated legislation that would have banned abortions based on the gender of the fetus. Our President opposed the bill also.

If you are a Democrat, do you have blood on your hands?







But the big question: On what grounds is ANY abortion justified?


"Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice;

you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech."
(Isaiah 32:9)
Thus says the Lord:
“A voice is heard in Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
because they are no more.”
(Jeremiah 31:15)
Get involved.  Do something.  Stay informed.  Vote.  Pray.

Is God a "Respecter of Persons" If We Are Chosen?




Controversy is sometimes necessary. 
"The only way to avoid all controversy would be to consider nothing we believe important enough to defend and no truth too costly to compromise" (R. Albert Mohler, Jr. - Tabletalk, May 2012).
I have had several opportunities to engage friends and family members in conversations regarding the doctrine of election, which is by it's nature, controversial.  (These doctrines are opposed to the natural mind, which is at enmity with God.) 

Sadly, I am afraid I have not always adorned the doctrines of grace (which includes the doctrine of election) with the love and humility that I should have... especially when I was in my "cage stage" - "that period of time during which a new convert to Reformed theology should be locked up in a cage for his own good and the good of others around him" (Keith A. Mathison).

But more than once, those who argue against God's sovereign grace in salvation suggest that the doctrine makes God a "respecter of persons."  The Bible says in many places that God is NOT a "respecter of  persons," so this issue must be addressed.

This is one of the best explanations I have heard:


Why Arminian Conditional Election Makes God a Respecter of Persons
By John Hendryx


I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but some of you are clearly robbing God of His glory by believing that you had some part in your being born again.  If this is your belief (and it used to be mine), then I appeal to you to read this article... search God's Word... pray... and know the truth.

Grace and Peace!

Our Dying & Christ's Returning

2. OUR DYING

"His body he leaves on this earth, but his soul goes to heaven.

This departure represents the culmination of earthly Christian life.  Picture it this way: when a man first comes to Christ he has one foot in heaven, one foot left on eath.  But then, for the rest of his life, he slowly shifts his spiritual weight.  With the passing of time he grows in love for God, even as he grows nearer to the day when he will enter the presence of God.  Finally, in death, he lifts his back foot from earth entirely and steps fully into the world above.  At last he is both of heaven...and in it too.

This truth transforms the prospect of death for all who are in Christ.

The experience of those in heaven now is what theologians have traditionally referred to as 'the intermediate state.'


3. CHRIST'S RETURNING

I. Christ will give believers imperishable, glorious, powerful bodies.
II. Christ will judge the world.
III. Christ will renew the world.
Now the last one was a new thought for me.  The author points us to Ps. 2:8, Matt. 5:5, Isa. 65:17, and Rev. 5:10 as proof that this world will not be destoyed and eliminated, but dramatically renewed. 

"Just as my resurrection body will be my body raised, so will the new world be this world glorified.  Lo and behold, the promised 'new earth' will turn out to be this earth made new."

What do we say when a friend gives us a tour of his impressively remodelled home?  'I love what you've done with the place.'  How much more will we say that -- or at least think that, for the beauty of the sight may leave us speechless -- when we first behold on that great daywhat this world was always meant to be.

We will live and serve fruitfully on solid ground.  Life without fear, labor without frustration... The ground will no longer groan but rejoice, and we will rejoice with it."

I don't know about you, but that EXCITES me, friend! 


Now I don't think I'll write anymore about this book.  I've written enough, I suppose.  But I would highly recommend you pick up a copy and test it with Scripture.  It has changed my outlook in many ways, and the truths within give me greater hope and fill me with greater joy. 

This earth will be ours, dear brother or sister in Christ!  It will ours to reign with Him.  It will be ours renewed.  We will rejoice... God's people... and the earth!  And Jesus' prayer will be answered in full:



"Thy kingdom come. thy will be done, on Earth, as it is in heaven."

The Father always answers the Son's prayers, because the Son always prays according to the Father's will.

Think about it.
