“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation Under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."
~ The United States Pledge of
The United States of America was founded upon christian
principles of which I fully stand behind.
This country was and is one
nation UNDER GOD. No laws or presidents
can change that fact. For years now, people have tried to remove God from
their lives and this country. President Barrack Obama is just one of those
people. He is supported by 50% of our
American population and this saddens me.
It doesn't matter how many votes this man gets or how many of us support his dream for America. The bottom
line lies in the Truth. No matter how much of the "majority" of mankind
votes on changing something that is "bad", no matter how many people
want to turn the bad thing into a "socially good" thing, they can't
truly change what is "Right and Wrong;" that was "set in
stone" long ago by our Creator, God Himself. The
bible clearly states the positions of these matters.
Abortion is by definition, "The deliberate termination
of a human pregnancy." Human
pregnancy is defined as the carrying of
one or more offspring, known as a fetus or embryo, inside the womb of a
female. A fetus is defined as an unborn
human baby. So by definition alone;
abortion is deliberately terminating the life of a human baby (regardless of why or how the pregnancy came to be). So then I ask, what is murder? Murder is the unlawful taking of someone's
else's life. The Christian Apologetics& Research Ministry wrote a great article defending the unborn. I invite you to go read it, click here.
Genesis 9:6 states "Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man
his blood shall be shed. My favorite verse which portrays and confirms that
fact the unborn babies are living human beings is Exodus 21:22-23 “If men struggle with each other and strike a
woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury,
he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him, and he shall
pay as the judges decide. “But if there is any further injury, then you shall
appoint as a penalty life for life. Since abortion is murdering a innocent life, abortion is morally
wrong. I will not support, vote, or
stand behind a president that willfully condones the mass murdering of these
innocent lives.
This brings me to my second point, what is marriage in God's
eyes? In Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus responds
to the Pharisees asking Him about divorce.
Not only did Jesus answer the Pharisees' question, he defined marriage
as being between one man and one woman. Matthew 19:1-6 reads, "When
Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the
region of Judea beyond the Jordan; and large crowds followed Him, and He healed
them there. Some Pharisees came to
Jesus, testing Him and asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for
any reason at all?”
And He answered and
said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM
MALE AND FEMALE, And said, ‘FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND
MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH’? “So they
are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let
no man separate.” One may ask, "who gives Jesus the authority to define
how God sees Marriage? Well, my friend,
I'm glad you asked. Jesus is God's Son in that He was conceived in Mary by the
Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 declares, “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.’”
Hebrews 1:3 -- The Son is the
radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining
all things by his powerful Word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the
Majesty in heaven. Colossians 1:15
-- He [Jesus]is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Hebrews 13:4-8
" Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage
bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,
because God has said,
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my
helper; I will not be afraid. What can
mere mortals do to me?” Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to
you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus
Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
It simply does not matter what my opinion is or what your opinion is. Frankly it doesn't matter what President Barrack Obama's opinion is. God's word is truth no matter who believes it or who does not. As an evangelical Christian, I regard the Bible as the authoritative Word of God and I will not support any persons going against the true testimony of Scripture. This being said, I am ashamed that President Obama is representing our country in this fashion; therefore; it is true that I am ashamed of what values America's vote represented in this election.
President George W. Bush was asked the question, "What is the greatest threat to America?" The President replied "The deterioration of the Family." (1)
