Hi to my Forum Friends,
As one might expect, with the air intensified by the upcoming presidential election -- the subject of Abortion and Same-Sex Marriage will continue to be hot issues. Recently, I started a discussion titled "Can He Pass The Litmus Test?" -- and, there I stated: JESUS CHRIST IS PRO-LIFE! JESUS CHRIST IS PRO-FAMILY! JESUS CHRIST IS PRO-GOD! And, I asked where Barack Obama stands; can he pass this Litmus Test?
In previous elections, some Friends have told me, "Bill, you should concentrate on sharing the Gospel and stay out of the political arena." If abortion and same-sex marriage had been issues in the time of Jesus' earthly ministry -- does anyone believe He would have avoided addressing those issues? He drove the moneychangers out of the temple; what do you think He would have done to people supporting the killing of 46 million babies each year; 1.5 million babies a year in America alone?
What are the Abortion statistics for the world? We read in http://blowthetrumpet.org/AbortionStatisticsWorldwide.htm -- "In 54 countries (61% of the world population) abortions are legal. In 97 countries (39% of the world population) abortions are illegal. There are approximately 46 million abortions conducted each year, 20 million of them obtained illegally. There are approximately 126,000 abortions performed each day."
We read at http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/edit.htm -- "UNICEF's annual "State of the World's Children," released this week, revealed the stunning statistic that malnutrition kills between 6 million and 7 million children each year, most of them in Asia and Africa" -- and the world is rightly upset. Yet, why do we not hear an outcry from the world about the 46 MILLION babies dying of abortion every year?
My Friend, these are babies we are talking about; creations of God. Can you imagine that every day, every day, 126,000 babies are killed via abortion in our world. We hear many people lamenting the number of children dying of malnutrition -- but, no one laments the much greater number of babies dying of abortion.
I do not believe Jesus would want us to remain silent on this issue; especially in the upcoming presidential election. This is why I feel that I must speak out. If you agree, please share this with your Friends, Relatives, Associates, and Neighbors -- all your FRANs. Let us join hands around the world to save the children -- from malnutrition and from abortion.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill Gray
