Molech Renewal Pt.1: Ableism Drives Protests & Laws For The Right To MURDER Babies

Deut 18:9-14 ~  9-When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10- There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11- Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12- For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13- Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. 14- For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Recently, I was brought to the edge of my seat reviewing a story of how multiple and sizeable protests broke out in Warsaw Poland when the Polish Supreme Court ruled against abortion in case of fetal defects. 

Hammered out in 1993 and for the last 27 years, Poles have had the right under law to abortion in case of fetal defect, rape, incest and life of the mother.


I was intrigued because there were over 100,000 protestors, mainly youth, who hit the streets immediately all saying that their "right" to kill a baby with a birth or material defect (which is in essence ableism) should be protected. This has led to multiple and ongoing protests, church vandalization and interruption of church services in many places as most people associate abortion restrictions with the church's position on a baby's right to life and "life at conception" doctrines embraced since Poland became a free country and apart from Communist rule.

Ableism & It's Practical Implications

Ableism ~ DISCRIMINATION in favor of those who are able bodied. It is the discrimination of and social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that typical physical abilities are superior. At its heart, ableism is rooted in the assumption that disabled people require 'fixing' and defines the worth or value of people by their disability

Whether knowingly or unknowingly, these young people were not only promoting death of innocents, but also discrimination in the process. I would venture to say that if asked nearly all of them would  disagree with any form of discrimination. I also venture to say that many of them would also disagree with the killing or murder of any innocent person, but yet they are victims of their own logical inconsistency and irrational belief that children with birth defects such as Down Syndrome, or other physical defects in vitro, are less than human and not deserving of a right to live or exist. This is not only shocking but appalling! The mass appeal to kill babies made me shudder. 

Certainly this is not unique to Poland nor the EU. It seems that all around the world, in many "developed" countries under both Communist and Democratic rule, the right to kill babies is almost a non-negotiable, and in some cases, required part of life. 

For example, in Georgia, Pastor Rafael Warnock, who we have featured in our article,


"Politics, Abortion LUNACY & IGNORANCE" who is also running for Georgia US Senator, claims that the right to abortion, is not only consistent with biblical values, but also American freedoms and freedoms in general and he is willing to fight or that right. 

"I believe that healthcare is a human right, and I believe that it is something that the richest nation in the world provides for its citizens, and for me reproductive justice is consistent with my commitment to that. I believe unequivocally in a woman's right to choose, and that the decision is something that we don't want government engaged in. That's between her, and her doctor, and her minister..."

This man’s statement is much worse than it looks and he, surprisingly, is not ashamed. You mean to tell me that he doesn’t believe that the government should intervene in the murder of babies??? And that, a FATHER, y’u-know a MAN, that FATHERED the baby does not have any decisions in the rights and wellbeing of the child??? That a "doctor", and "minister", somehow become proxy director of the child’s life after fertilization??? 

This is COMIC-BOOK Christianity! Totally unworthy sentiments of a leader committed to the security and wellbeing of the innocents and preservation of the integrity of the gospel!

The good Rev-Rund can't have the spotlight all to himself, however. 

In a puzzling statement that misses the complete picture of the sanctity of life, destroys the biblical texts and that completely distorts facts, more than 5,000 pastors, calling themselves "Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden" who also “CLAIM”, to be against abortion and abortion politics, took time, prior to the election, to sign their name to their endorsement of Joe Biden.

Be clear, Joe Biden openly and unashamedly embraces not only abortion, but abortion in its most vile form (late term abortion) even up to the point of birth. Their SHODDY statement said the following:

"AS PRO-LIFE EVANGELICALS, WE DISAGREE WITH VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION. BUT WE BELIEVE A BIBLICALLY SHAPED COMMITMENT TO THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE COMPELS US TO A CONSISTENT ETHIC OF LIFE THAT AFFIRMS THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE FROM BEGINNING TO END."

In their borderline endorsement of socialism and full rejection of the biblical view of the sanctity of human life, these alleged "ministers" go on to rationalize that since a primary cause of abortion within the United States is associated with "economics" and concerns over financial welfare and wellbeing of the mother, and that since Joe Biden allegedly has a "plan" to address economic security, they felt that their endorsement of him would be well placed, even in disagreement over abortion. 

Not to be overly political here, but I don't know what planet these APOSTATES were living on! Prior to coronavirus, EVERY SEGMENT of America, including Blacks and minorities were at historic levels of employment, income security and financial growth. Under President Trump the country had not experienced such economic advancement and productivity since reconstruction. So, in essence, their narrative was and is a completely false and one undeserving of their title of leaders within the body of Christ.

The State

Then there is the State, that seemingly loves the right to kill children. Look at Massachusetts which has consistently tried to expand abortion law unsuccessfully. Although 62% of MA citizens don’t want late term or expanded abortion to be legalized within their state when given the opportunity to respond. However, the majority liberals within MA legislature are bent on making sure that children can be killed all the way up until they are born by recently proposing to add late term abortion services and finances to the State budget through what is called Amendment 759. Supporting Bills have been presented such as Bill S1209 and Bill H3220. 

The proposed measures allows abortions when:

the patient is beyond 24 weeks from the commencement of pregnancy and the abortion is necessary to protect the patient’s life or physical or mental health, or in cases of lethal fetal abnormalities, or where the fetus is incompatible with sustained life outside the uterus.” 

Sounds reasonable to many right? However Pro-life advocates reveal the more in-depth issues associated with the Bills: 

“the bill would enable girls as young as 12 to obtain abortions without any adult, except the abortionist, knowing about it,” and would “remove life-saving medical equipment from rooms where abortions are performed, risking the lives of babies, Massachusetts citizens, who survive the procedure.”

 Then there is New Jersey who seeks to do the same using the Affirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, who personally opposes abortion, to the US Supreme Court as an opportunity to make a push to ratify the “Reproductive Freedom Act” which would make abortion at any point through pregnancy and for any reason, a fundamental right within the State.

Governor Phil Murphy recently said:

“As access to health care and the right to choose are under attack at the federal level, we will support, defend, and protect reproductive rights here in New Jersey,”…“The Reproductive Freedom Act will remove barriers to reproductive health, as well as expand access to contraception while reaffirming choice. Together, we stand unwavering in our commitment to work towards reproductive freedom for all New Jerseyans.”
Further and same old problems persist however. Although religious organization exemptions appear to remain in place, under New Jersey proposals the right of conscience that protects medical professionals from engaging in procedures to which they are profoundly opposed, would be repealed. Non-physicians will be allowed to provide or commit abortions, and children aka: minors, will also be able to secure abortions without knowledge or consent of parents. 

The right to kill babies and life in-vitro is seemingly a "right of passage" and option that humanity is not willing to live without.

Licensed To Kill 

Within America, since Roe v Wade in 1972, there have been an estimated over 50 million babies killed through the process of legalized abortion. Her Black community has been so devastated by abortion (some counting to the average tune of 757 children per day since 1973 or 13,000,000). Blacks are now the 2nd leading minority within the United States by sheer numbers and according to the CDC abortions of Black children are nearly 61% of all Black child births annually. Reporting in the most recent year (2018) there were 552,029 total Black individual (adult and child) births and 335,667 total Black (adult and child) deaths (2017). According to most recent available numbers from the CDC (2016) Black child abortions average 377 per day or 137,510 for 2016. Providing that the average number of abortions or trends are consistent, when estimated abortions of Black children are figured in (138,000/yr) Black adult and child deaths are nearly 86% of Black adult and child births at a 473,667 annual average. If these numbers are consistent, the Black community is growing at a net rate of 80,000 individuals per year. Hardly enough to continue as a "leading" minority, and at some point the death rate will eclipse the birth rate. 

This makes it an imperative to look at abortion and its effects upon the community and in this case, the Black community in particular. The slogan has been that “BLACK LIVES MATTER”, however, if we truly value lives within the community, and especially Black lives, and want the community to survive, be healthy and well, this issue cannot be overlooked and go without thorough and adequate examination and a demand for protections for the unborn, and greater care for women and families who decide that they cannot raise and or parent their newborn child. 

Conclusion Pt. 1

In Part 2 of this article, I will explore the theological dynamic of what we are seeing with a demand for abortion and the alleged link to "women's healthcare". We will examine how the practice of killing children pre and post birth has existed for thousands of years, is wholly inconsistent with Biblical Christianity, and has been part of the sin condition of mankind regardless of the governmental system under which these atrocities are regulated. 

Abortion and the murder of the innocents is NOT solely a political problem, nor is it solely a mere social problem. It is a spiritual problem. It is a problem that begins and ends with SIN and the resultant rebellion of man against the image in which he/she was created. The very image of God!

Blessed

Politics, Abortion LUNACY & IGNORANCE

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 1:5

Recently, Raphael Warnock the Sr. Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, joined a growing sickening choruse of religious leaders, who for political convienence, have taken time to reinterpret the bible to suit their political views, by asserting that the practice of abortion is not only legal according to current law, but also biblically justifiable and supported.

Please keep in mind that the good Pastor is running for the US Sentate and the views as he has expressed as I will contend are simply party-line views, which I am certain he believes for one reason or another, not to mention the political expediency of the position. 


Yes, HERESY and  HERETIC 101!

Instead of following the BIBLE, which is a believer's first obligation, this pastor is clearly caught following democratic, party line, politics and the same flawled reasoning that abortion itself, is somehow tantamount to healthcare, and that a woman's right of choice extends to murder or to the taking of life of the unborn. 

Pastor Warnock stated:
“I believe unequivocally in a woman's right to choose, and that the decision is something that we don't want government engaged in – that's between her and her doctor and her minister. And I will fight for that in the United States Senate, and at the same time continue to fight so women can receive the kind of services that they need in order to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy babies. We have a maternal death rate in this country that is exceedingly high, particularly to be the richest country in the world.”

As you can see, the pastor believes in a zero sum game. Unknowingly, affirming party line rhetoric, he apparently unwittingly (or maybe purposefully) embraces the exclusion of the father from the decision to abort, or the murder an unborn fetus, which is another fatal flaw of the abortion rights crowd as they never venture further than "a woman's right of choice". 

The Pastor's statement also affirms that "life" is not as valuable as God says it is. Apparently, in his view and the view of his party, "choice" is greater than the "right to live" of and persona that can only be determined to be an entirely seperate and wholly individual human being. To make things worse, the good Pastor incorporates a totally different issue other than the right to life of the unborn, by associating the complications of pregnancy, which occur more abundantly in Black women in particular, against the right of life of the innocent. 

A HODGE PODGE of Confusion

Dissecting this confusion is not as complex as it may seem, especially when the essential nature of man and purpose of God is considered, as I will discuss shortly. 

First, there are a couple of issues to clear up as most people have no clue as to what is really going on as it pertainst to abortion and abortion issues. However, a woman's right of choice, or anyone's right of choice, does not extend to the MURDER of another individual especially the murder of the innocents. 

An argument seeking to make "choice" and "murder" morally equivalent is what is called an argument of a false equivalacy. In this case it is  rehearsed to downplay that fact that a baby is being mudered at or during the abortion process, seeking to make the act less morally repugnant and therefore more socially acceptable and exalting "choice" as the premiere act or action and the motivation for what can only be called murder. ie: this is the justification of evil and the immioral act of baby murder.  

Secondly, another issue that the Pastor raised was the disparity of actual physical health and wellbeing of the pregnant mother during pregnancy. Now, to be fair, Black women in partucularly, for some currently unknown, but speculative medical reasons, have a higher rate of mortality during pregnancy and child birth in particular than nearly every other ethnicity. From this perspective "pregnancy" is certainly an issue of women's health and should be considered. 

Digging Deeper

Examining this further, according to the CDC and as noted in a 2015 study funded by the BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION (please keep that in mind) and published by The Lancet (keep that in mind as well) found that Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregancy related causes than White women. As noted by Dr. Ana Langer director of the Women and Health Initiative at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, at Heart.org, many of these deaths during pregnancy are preventable with proper care. Specutively, the lack of quality care and racial disparities are to blame for this disproportionately negative outcome and high mortality rate among Black women. Currently, the whole argument falls under the perview of "systemmic racism" which seems to permeate every facet of our society according to some and is responsible for everything that the Black community currently suffers and or experiences. (surprisingly enough it is White people championing and carrying this idea on-but that's another article) 

However, upon examination, the unhealthy pregnancy argument really should not be or has nothing to do with abortion per se. Although this concern may drive a certain portion of abortions, it has everything to do with a woman's ability to care for and take care of her body, therefore insuring optimal health both prior to and during pregnancy. In other words, it is NOT the baby nor the pregnancy that is creating the mortality risk, it is the LIFESTYLE and other physical factors that is determining the overall health of the woman aside from pregnncy. This is a very important distinction, as many who speak on this assume that Black women simply are are more of a health risk during pregnancy because of the pregnancy itself, and that is NOT what the evidence states and or affirms. So at best, this is a false narrative and a myth perpetuated to "scare" women into abortions especially early on in their pregancies. 

Amazingly enough, the primary cause of abortion remains ECONOMIC in nature. MONEY is the issue and the primary concern when it comes to sustaining a child or "feeding another mouth". The perception is that the baby will be a financial or lifestyle "inconvenience" of some sort. 

According to a 2019 article at theBMJ.com 75% of women requesting abortion in the US are in poverty or in the low income bracket and the poorest 12% of women account for almost 50% of abortions and the poorest 30% for 75% of abortions. 

It seems that neither of Pastor Warnock's arguments hold up under scruitiny. Now, let's look at his greater assumption that abortion is consistent with both biblical theology and biblical morality. Does such a connection exist?

Essentialism vs Existentialism

Prior to the passing of the late Bishop Robert Sanders formerly of Illinois Third Jurisdiction COGIC, I had the opportunity to minister at both of his churches on a particular Sunday AM as he would ask me to do on rare occassion. 

Believe it or not, on a Sunday morning in a church known rather for shouting, dancing and speaking in tongues more so than for philosophical centered Sunday AM messages (not that Bishop's messages were not deep, as they certainly were and will be missed by me in particular) The Lord gave me to talk on the difference between Essentialism and Existentialism and show the people why we must live according to HIS will and not our will.  

What many did not previously know in the terms I presented, was that the BIBLE is an Essentialist book and that God is an Essentialist God! However, we live an Existentialist reality or a world seduced into believing or constructing existentialist moral values. Quicky, Essentialism centers around what God has created in you or called one to do or purposed one to do, whereas exestintialism centers around what one chooses to do and or become. 

Jeremiah 1:5, as quoted above, is the epitome of essentialism or essentialist thought, and reveals our, man's, nature and existence as not one of a series of cosmic accidents and or random processes, such as those we find taught by Charles Darwin in his 1859 thesis "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". 

The BIBLE teaches that we are PURPOSED, divinely and transcendently set in order, and as Jeremiah reveals, that is done prior to knowledge of self or self effacacy. We have been "communicated" to by God and born into this world with both identity, mind and mission. 

Whereas the Existentialist would contend that "life is what YOU make it" and that you make your own destiny and purpose and that you have the ability to handle yourself or do what you wish to do and finding satisaction in doing whatever you wish to do is the greatest good. You create your own journey. This is the carnal minded man's answer for his rejection of God, HIS kingdom and HIS plan. 

Question: What does this have to do with abortion? 

Answer: EVERYTHING!

If the good Pastor affirmed what the BIBLE actually taught at just that point, that we are all born with an ESSENTIALIST nature, or one that is PURPOSED by God from the moment of conception, I

am nearly certain he would see the staunch and magnanamous error of his ways, by contending that the message of abortion is tantamount to, or consistent with the BIBLE message regarding the value of life. He would certainly REPENT and RECANT his notion that "choice" of a woman or man, to murder anyone, in particularly the most innocent and vunerable among us, can be done without incurring the wrath of God. 

I am nearly certain, that if the good Pastor fully understood, that as human beings our very existence is rooted in the ESSENTIAL or PURPOSEFUL mind of God, and that even a baby enjoins the same rights of PURPOSE and ESSENTIAL nature as a creation of God, who is the ONLY author of life, that he (Pastor Warnock) and those SEDUCED into believing him regarding his shoddy message, would abandon their arguments and position that abortion is in line with a BIBLICAL construct on the issue of human life. 

I am almost and nearly as sure that YOU, after coming to understand the ESSENTIAL nature of your own being, knowing that you, like any and every baby born or conceived, are not some cosmic accident or a simple piece of flesh meant to be excized from the womb as if you were a disease, would greatly stand in favor of the RIGHT OF THE UNBORN TO LIVE because even they (YOU) have a purpose for existence...

As we can see, Pastor Warnocks position on abortion is in no way consistent or compatible with the BIBLICAL position of the individual right to life that ALL men have since conception. There is no biblical theology that Pastor Warnock can pose that affirms his position and therefore his position is flawed and should be jettisoned immediately, even if the party that he embraces rests on such anti-human and anti-God rhetoric. 

Conclusion

A friend of mine shared that believers of a pentecostal/holiness church were in strong debate over the issue of abortion when this pastor made this politically centered (not BIBLE centered) argument. He shared that the "SAINTS" or should I say "AINT'S" were in agreement that abortion was acceptable and should be considered a form of contraception and wasn't that bad...I would say to them and to you if that is your position...YOU ARE NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF CHRIST! I don't care what the church name is over your door. You are a SAD example of BIBLICAL  salvation and that salvation is not in your heart. For the endorsement of the murder of the innocents  tells me all that I need to know about who you really are and what is in you. Call it "judgement" if you will, you too are judging just to make that assessment now aren't you???

Some will say, "Preacher, I am in error, and I really didn't know"....WELL....NOW YA KNOW!!!   

Blessed!
