Keeping it Real

I am a conservative from a Democratic family. So you can imagine the arguments.

1. When we discuss abortion stances, they say Pro-choice is a woman's right. That is where their argument ends. Look it takes two people to create a child. I feel a man should have input but let's say we waive that right for arguments sake. Why does the child have no rights. Anyone reading this wasn't aborted. It's murder plain and simple. We can hide behind womens' rights,Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics but when push comes to shove there was a life and after an abortion there isn't. If a child is an inconvenience then they should be given up for adoption. Families who can't have children of their own are always waiting a long time for a chance to adopt.

2. Same sex marriage. Look Hollywood makes homosexuality look fun and normal but it isn't. It is an unhealthy lifestyle.70% of partners in a same sex relationship are more likely to have affairs than heterosexuals according to a study. Also it is scientifically impossible for 2 homosexuals to procreate. I am against it not only for natural reasons but also for Biblical reasons as backed by some scripture;

a. Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.'
b. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
c. Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Now the argument is that Christianity is out of touch with modern society. I guess Sodom may have been playing that fiddle too. The Bible has been around for a long long time and has not changed. Empires come and go but the Word of God is constant.

3. There is the argument that if we are good we can get to Heaven. That could not be further from the truth. You can't buy your way into Heaven. You can't be nice enough, smart enough,dumb enough,do enough...The only way to get into Heaven is through belief in Jesus;

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6)

I didn't make this up. It is in the New Testament plain as day. It doesn't say come to the father by going near me or around me...only through me.

Thats all for now. I think that is enough. Thanks to those who take the time to read this blog.

  1. So much hatred here, Jim. Learn to hold love in your heart, as God would want.

  2. Thanks for the comment Bill. I believe your off base though. The Bible is clear on positions I laid out. I don't hate just am willing to stand up for what I believe. I am not sure what God you are referring to.
