This is an old post, but I felt the need to post it again.


Some people in this world really scare me. Why do they love darkness?? All it brings is emptiness, anger, and evil. I don't care how much they may deny it, they cannot say that it truly satisfies.

Isaiah 58:11

The LORD will guide you always;
       he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
       and will strengthen your frame.
       You will be like a well-watered garden,
       like a spring whose waters never fail.

Jeremiah 31:25

"I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint."

Psalm 103:2-6

2Praise the LORD, O my soul,

       and forget not all his benefits-

    3 who forgives all your sins

       and heals all your diseases,

    4 who redeems your life from the pit

       and crowns you with love and compassion,

    5 who satisfies your desires with good things

       so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

    6 The LORD works righteousness

       and justice for all the oppressed.

Psalm 107:6-15

6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,

       and he delivered them from their distress.

    7 He led them by a straight way

       to a city where they could settle.

    8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his

      unfailing love


       and his wonderful deeds for men,

    9 for he satisfies the thirsty

       and fills the hungry with good things.

    10 Some sat in darkness and the deepest

       gloom,
prisoners suffering in iron chains,

    11 for they had rebelled against the words of God

       and despised the counsel of the Most High.

    12 So he subjected them to bitter labor;

       they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

    13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,

       and he saved them from their distress.

    14 He brought them out of darkness 

       and the deepest gloom
and broke away their chains.

    15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his

        unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men...


I promise, the Word of God is true. Some people--claiming to be Christians--give the argument that they don't believe certain things in the Bible. They say, "Well the Bible is edited by man so it couldn't possibly all be true."

(Kenza, this isn't directed towards you. We've already discussed this and I respect the things we've discussed.)
*thumbs up*

Well, for those who claim that they are Christians and say this, let me have a word:
Just as Muslims go by the Koran to live by, we as Christians live by the Bible. If you disagree with what the Bible says, what have you to base your beliefs on and prove that they are true and God's heart?? What have you?

The only true reason you could possibly say that you don't agree with parts of the Bible is because, face it, you don't like it. And that's cool. If you don't like what the Bible says, then that's how you feel.
But if you as a Christian come out and say that the Bible is wrong, then you are flat out contradicting your Christianity.

If you say that parts of the Bible are wrong and untrue, you know what? You are basically lowering God to your level and saying that the Word of God is equal to you or, perhaps, inferior.

I'll let you know now: You are wrong and God is above you.

Don't get me wrong. There are things in the Bible that rub me the wrong way sometimes. But I have faith that the words that were written down in human handwriting flowed from their pen only because God gave them those words to write. 

Why is it so hard for people to believe that God can really speak to and through people?

Is that not what our hearts long for?
To know God?

Whether you choose to believe it in your head or not,

your heart knows the truth.

Proverbs 19:22

What a man desires is unfailing love ; better to be poor than a liar.


Chew on this:

Galatians 3:2-3

2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did

you receive the
Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 3Are you so foolish? After

beginning with the
Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

God had his chosen ones put the Bible into script for the sole purpose that He absolutely adores you. If you live by His Word, things may be rough in some circumstances, but just like hard work or playing the guitar, you eventually attain calluses.

As a new believer, or even if you've been a Christian your whole life and are now just starting to live for God completely, things of course will be a struggle. People will pick on you, tease you, maybe even harass you. But I swear it is above worth it. I can say this from experience.

When you live in a life of prayer and abandonment to the One who created you--who created you just to love you and to be loved back--your life, that emptiness in your soul...it fills. It's no longer void. That vastness and feeling of being unsatisfied in your spirit lifts.

1 Corinthians 13:12-13

12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;

then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the
greatest of these is love.

It's wonderful.


This is truly my heart...

Psalm 27:4

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.


Sorry if this offends some of you, but if I had to choose between the soul of someone and my actions determining whether they went to Heaven or Hell and offending someone...I'd choose to offend.
 
If you truly believe you are right and that parts of the Bible are wrong, let me throw this out for you to think about. Say this to God if you believe you are right and that I am wrong:

 

Job 13:3

 3 But I desire to speak to the Almighty 

       and to argue my case with God.

 


Do it. Pray about it.

I am angry. Very angry. I am not messing around.

Abortion is murder.

Don't agree with me? Think it's not? Do you think that a fetus can't feel pain when being aborted?

Wrong.  You¡¦re wrong.

9 weeks after conception, the baby can very clearly feel pain.

[The following information is from google.com]


Day One

Human life biologically begins at the moment of conception. This is a contested yet undeniable truth. At the moment of conception a new human is created in his or her complete form. There has never been a human with the same genetic code. There will never again be a human with the same genetic code. This "baby" only has half the genetic code of his or her mother; it is not merely a piece of her. This baby, if left under normal conditions, will grow into a human as individual as anyone alive today. This baby is already its own person.

The Next Three Months

After the first day, biological development into human form progresses very rapidly. Two weeks after conception, the embryo has a developing brain and rudimentary heart. Three weeks after conception, the baby has a working heart, the beginning of vertebrea, a closed circulatory system separate from the mother's, developing eyes and ears and the beginning of lungs. Around the 25th day, lungs are fully developed, and the heart begins to beat. The heart circulates blood throughout the fetus' body; blood completely different and often incompatible with that of the mother. The baby's developed systems are already separate from those of the mother; one month after conception it is no longer a part of her.

Five weeks after conception, the embryo has developed smaller organs such as a bony jaw, and by six weeks, it has fully developed a vertebral column , ribs, a four-chambered heart, fingers, and nostrils. The baby also has a developing nervous system, and brainwaves are recorded at an average of 40 days after conception. Death is often defined as the cessation of brainwaves, and it follows that the presence of these brainwaves guarantees the individual life of the fetus.

By 7 weeks, the baby has developed a pancreas, a bladder, kidneys, a tongue, and a larynx, and muscles begin to appear. By eight weeks, the embryo has ears, fingers, and toes, and all key bodyparts are developed or developing.

Nine weeks into the pregnancy (about 2 months), the baby can feel pain. In ten weeks, the baby has developing fingernails, and also begins to move by itself. By eleven weeks the baby has the fingerprints that will identify it for the rest of its life. Twelve weeks after conception, the baby's gender can easily be determined, it is able to swallow, and its kidneys are able to make urine.

Fourteen weeks into pregnancy, the fetus has fully developed legs. It can kick, sleep, and move its head.

Pain

"When doctors first began invading the sanctuary of the womb, they did not know that the unborn baby would react to pain in the same fashion as a child would. But they soon learned that he would."- Dr. A. Liley, Prof. of Fetology, University of Aukland, New Zealand

"By 13.5 to 14 weeks, the entire body surface, except for the back and the top of the head, are sensitive to pain." -The Development of the Brain by S. Reinis and J. Goldman

"The fetus needs to be heavily sedated. The changes in heart rate and increase in movement suggest that these stimuli are painful for the fetus."-Valman & Pearson, "What the Fetus Feels," British Med. Jour., Jan. 26, 1980

". . . the hub of the needle in the woman's belly has jerked. First to one side. Then to the other side. Once more it wiggles, is tugged, like a fishing line nibbled by a sunfish. It is the fetus that worries thus." -R. Selzer, "What I Saw in Abortion," Esquire, pp. 66-67

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan stated his belief that abortions are painful to the fetus. This statement received strong support from American physicians.

The Second Trimester

By the end of the first trimester, a fetus has a beating heart, has brainwaves, moves on its own, and has many complete organs. During the second trimester organs complete their formations.

Twenty weeks after conception, babies begin to respond to small stimulations. Earlier during the pregnancy a fetus will respond to pain, however at this time the begins to respond "to a brush on its lips by sucking."

Twenty-three weeks (5 months) after conception, the baby is able to think. It begins to dream and is capable of learning. A week later, the baby learns to respond to sound. 40% of babies born at this time will reach adulthood.

Twenty-eight weeks (6 months) after conception, the baby can breath air, and its eyes are open. By this time the fetus can hear. 90% of babies born at this time will reach adulthood.There is no question that the baby is now its own person, not a part of its mother. It can learn, think, and live its own life without its mother.

The Third Trimester

By the beginning of the third trimester, a fetus is completely developed, and almost every baby born at any part of the third trimester will live until adulthood. The third trimester is primarily a time for the unborn child to grow in safety within its mother. The baby is fully capable of reacting, feeling pain, and thinking. The final major developmental occurs at thirty-two weeks when fetuses gain the muscle control to firmly grasp objects.

There is essentially no difference between an unborn third-trimester baby and a born premature baby. Each has the potential and the overwhelming probability to become an individual adult. Each has the genetic code, physical form, fingerprints, etc. that make us unique. Each has the sentient thoughts that make us human. Each can feel pain if it is killed.

About 39 weeks after the pregnancy begins, most babies are born. After delivery is complete, babies are for the first time granted legal protection from murder. Until the completion of birth, these babies can be and are legally killed through abortion.

[Partial abortion is just as horrible, if not more. Here's a story that'll rock your heart. If you are for abortion, you have a very perverted mind set of right and wrong. I hope someone slaps you in the face. Or better yet, let me do it.]

" I stood at the doctor's side and watched him perform a partial-birth abortion on a woman who was six months pregnant. The baby's heartbeat was clearly visible on the ultrasound screen. The doctor delivered the baby's body and arms, everything but his little head. The baby's body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. The doctor took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby's head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startle reaction, like a baby does when he thinks that he might fall. Then the doctor opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby's brains out. Now the baby was completely limp. I never went back to the clinic. But I am still haunted by the face of that little boy. It was the most perfect, angelic face I have ever seen."

Knowledge About Abortion

  •  95 per cent of women who have had abortions said that their Planned Parenthood counselors gave "...little or no biological information about the fetus which the abortion would destroy." (Aborted Women:Silent No More, David Reardon Crossway Books, 1987)
  • 39000 women who have had an abortion are members of NARAL. 245000 women who have had abortions are members of National Right to Life.

    The Supreme Court ruled against requiring information to be given to women considering abortion because such information "may serve only to confuse her and heighten her anxiety." -"Thornburgh v American College of OBGYN", 1986

  • "Professional marketing experts are used to train clinic employees on how to sell abortions." - former abortion clinic owner Carol Everet
  • "We were told to find the woman's weakness and work on it. The women were never given any alternatives. They were told how much trouble it was to have a baby." -Debra Henry, abortion clinic staffer.
  • "In fact many women will come to me considering abortion, and I have been personally told that I am to turn the monitor away from her view so that seeing her baby jump around on the screen does not influence her choice." -Shari Richard, Ultrasonographer, "Ultrasound: A Window to the Womb" (Video)
  • "Seeing a blown-up, moving image of the embryo she is carrying can be distressing to a woman about to undergo an abortion. The [sonogram] screen should be turned away from her." -Dr. Dorfman, OB GYN News, Feb 1986.

I have cried today because of abortion and it is not because of what I have put on here and it's not because of the paper that I am writing in English. No, Tiffany, not even you know why. And you won't know. I'm sorry.

If you are a pregnant and are

 contemplating abortion, PLEASE choose life. That baby inside of you is a work of God, just as you are. He/she is special, beautiful, precious, and pure. If you don't want a baby, adoption is the way to go.

 

I am adopted.

 

I thank my Jesus frequently for giving my birth-mother wisdom by choosing to not abort me. Her parents and grandparents told her to kill me, but she didn¡¦t.

 

I am a work of God. His beautiful princess.

 

Please, give the baby inside of you life. Let them worship their Maker in the very fact that they have been born.

 

Your child could be used by God to bring some of the greatest things this world has ever seen.

 

Choose life.

Luke 1:30-35

But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary,you have found favor with God. You will be withchild and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.


And the angel said she would be with child.

Not a blob of tissue.

Isaiah 43:15-21

15 "I am the LORD, your Holy One, 

       Israel's Creator, your King." 
   16 This is what the LORD says—

       he who made a way through the sea,
       a path through the mighty waters, 
    17 who drew out the chariots and horses,

       the army and reinforcements together,
       and they lay there, never to rise again,
       extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: 
    18 "Forget the former things;

       do not dwell on the past. 
    19 See, I am doing a new thing!

       Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
       I am making a way in the desert
       and streams in the wasteland. 
    20 The wild animals honor me,

       the jackals and the owls,
       because I provide water in the desert
       and streams in the wasteland,
       to give drink to my people, my chosen, 
    21 the people I formed for myself

       that they may proclaim my praise.
