Is Pro-life Political?

 Should Pro-life people be political?  When we pay our taxes, we are also funding the abortion industry! We have the blood of the Hispanic community on our hands here in New Mexico. We have the blood of the Black community on our hands nationally. These are the abortion industry’s most targeted groups. 

Abortion Ads

Seems like we have seen a million Abortion ads.  Here in New Mexico the abortion industry has targeted the Hispanic population.  The Hispanic baby is twice as likely to be aborted as the white baby.  Nationally it has targeted our black communities.  The black baby has been 4 times as likely to be killed as the white baby.  Voting is therefore racial.  Gabe Vasquez and Kamala are essentially the abortion industry/white vote.  Yvette Herrell and Trump are a little more of a Neapolitan or variety vote.  Looking at creation, it’s obvious that God likes variety.  However, if you are an evolutionist, you may believe that one race or color is more evolved, superior and most fit to survive.  If reproductive rights are your sacred cow, you will want Vasquez and Kamala.  If you want to protect the innocent, then Yvette Herrell and Trump are better choices.

Mecca of Death

      During election season, we are blitzed with abortion politics.  New Mexico has become a popular destination for women who do not want their baby.  We have become a Mecca of death in the southwest.  When Cain killed his brother Abel in Genesis 4, God said that Abel’s blood cried out to him from the ground.  Cain had killed his brother’s body but not his spirit and soul.  A baby’s body can be aborted but his/her spirit and soul live on.  God has knit each one together.  

      Genesis 9:6 states, “Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”  People always complain about the crime and violence in New Mexico.  Abortion cheapens the value of life.  When we can take life away before birth, it becomes easier to take life away after birth.

      People say that pro-life is a religious belief, not a political belief.  But it falls on the taxpayer.  Our taxes fund abortion.  When we vote, we do so with blood on our hands.  When we vote in New Mexico we have Hispanic blood on our hands.  When we vote nationally, we have Black blood on our hands.  These are the most targeted groups by the abortion industry.

If you want to make America more white, vote for women’s reproductive rights.

The Death of Value

    Donald Trump was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt.  Corey Comperatore was killed in this shooting.  We constantly hear of shootings all across our country.  Many blame guns for the killing but there are deeper issues.  People are simply losing value.  The Bible proclaims that we are designed by the greatest designer and architect, the most knowledgeable creator in the universe. Therefore we have value because of who created us.  Secondly, we have been created in the image of the most valuable being in the universe.  This makes us incredibly valuable.  On the other hand, evolution tells us that we are an accident in this material world in time and space.  We are said to have evolved from animals.  When people call each other animal names, it is usually to devalue them or insult them.  For example: "They are acting like a bunch of monkeys" or "That guy is a dog."  Evolution has a big value problem.  Do we only value those who seem to be the most evolved?  This leads to racism.  Evolution advances when the weaker animals die off and the stronger survive.  We think we know who the weaker people are and who the stronger people are.  Evolution erodes human value.

    Mostly because of convenience, we have deleted 63 million people in American before they could be born.  It is legal to end life for human beings.  We call it choice.  Life has little value when we can casually discard it for any reason.  The only difference in killing a grown adult is the stage of maturity.  Life loses its value when we so easily erase it.  Does it matter?  If there is no God to answer to and we are just accidental occurrences, perhaps it doesn't matter.  If there is a God that will judge all mankind and we are valuable, then it certainly does matter.  Psalm 139 states that God has knit us together in our mother's womb.  I believe that God knows every conceived being.  I believe he knows how many breaths each life will breathe.  He knows how many hairs each head will have.  He knows how many steps each person will take.  He knows how many times each heart will beat.  He, in fact, knows everything! 

    Environmentalism makes people the enemy.  Many elitists believe that there are too many people in the world.  They say that nature can only be saved by decreasing world population.  Nature is valued but humans are deemed a threat to nature.  Here again, people are not a value.

    I believe these philosophies are impacting the homicide rate in America.  The Trump shooter hated our former president.  Many people hate those who hold a different viewpoint especially during election season.  1 John 4:9 states, "If a man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"

    Everyone asks the question, "Am I Valuable?"  Our country seems to be giving people less value.

Pray For Wisdom

            Have you prayed for truth to be revealed to you?  James 1:5 states, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."  Here are three answers. 

One answer is in the temple work according to Keith Walker.  Consider the practice of baptism for the dead.  The person doing this work has to live in a worthy manner, be in good standing with his ward and bishop, travel to a temple and do the baptism work.  He is doing the work but the benefit is for another.  On the contrary, the one receiving this service cannot work. He can't attend church or pay tithes.  He cannot live in a worthy manner because he is not living.  He cannot perform any good works but rather lies motionless in his grave.  He is not earning this baptism work but receiving it as a free gift.  This is a picture of salvation by grace.  Ephesians 2:8-9 states, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

    Here is another answer to a prayer for wisdom.  My neighbor is a police officer.  Some people do not like police officers.  Some are angry about being pulled over even when they are wrong.  Sometimes there are praying grandmas who are asking God to protect their wayward grandchildren.  Perhaps God, in his infinite foreknowledge, knows that an intoxicated, speeding grandson is about to be in a fatal car accident.  Perhaps God answers godly grandmothers' prayers by sending a police officer to stop these erratic drivers, saving them from death.  Essentially, he is angry at the one sent to save his life.  What if God sends someone to speak the truth and he is hated and labeled an anti? He could be presenting a message of liberty and freedom and at the same time be hated. The apostle Paul said in Galatians 4:16, "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"  An answer to prayer may have been given and it may be rejected.

Matthew 18:1-5 is another specific answer to a prayer for wisdom.  "At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."  Young children have great faith and they are an open book.  Take the challenge to read the New Testament with the heart of a child.  Set aside your preconceived ideas and read it with an open mind.  See how it speaks to you.

If you have prayed for wisdom, have you been open to God's answers?

From Evolution to Gaza

 

Going from Evolution to Gaza

      We have been told that evolution is scientific.  However, it is also a philosophy.  Etiologically, it replaces God our creator and claims that nature created itself.  Its goal is not to worship God but rather to worship self.  With evolution we try to become the most evolved, the strongest and most fit to survive.  Evolution consists of superior and inferior creatures.  The weaker must die off and make room for the stronger to keep progressing.  This was applied to slavery.  The black race was considered by many evolutionists to be inferior and less evolved.  They were almost thought of as less than human.  Some believed that the white race was more evolved and therefore slavery was justifiable.  

      Abortion has tied into this philosophy.  It has first been aimed at the Black and Hispanic population and then the Caucasian population.  It has been designed in such a way that the Black baby is 4 times as likely to be aborted as the white baby.  The Hispanic baby is twice as likely to be aborted as the white baby.  This has been a highly successful way to reduce the Black and Hispanic populations and has made our country more white.  Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist. It is a prime example of "white privilege".  

Abortion is appealing to many people because it gives god-like powers to mere people.  Usually God has the power to give and take life.  Abortion gives the power to give and take life into our own hands.  In other words we are acting in place of God.  It is on a higher level than hunting.  The deer and the elk were amazingly created by God.  As human beings, we are not only created by God but we are made in God's image according to the Genesis account.  This gives us a great amount of value.  Those who were designed by the wisest designer in the universe and made in the IMAGE of  the most valuable being in the universe, are HIGHLY VALUABLE!!  

Our country has a high homicide rate but it may partly be philosophical.  Abortion is not determined by who is superior or the most fit to survive.  It is often a matter of convenience.  If our neighbor is simply an evolutionary product of time and chance and simply an evolved animal who is not "convenient", then killing him might seem ok.  Again it gives a person the feeling of playing God by determining the life or death of another person.  A person could reason that since we have aborted 63 million human beings, what is wrong with taking one more life? 

The nation of Israel is in a similar category.  Many view them as an "inconvenient" part of the world.  They think that getting rid of this nation would solve many of the world's problems.  There is another aspect that appeals to people.  Israel has been God's chosen people for thousands of years.  Many times in history, God has acted on Israel's behalf.  Getting rid of God's chosen people would cause many to feel like they are more powerful than God himself.  Evolution works to abolish God and deify nature.  People think that getting rid of Israel would help us clear our minds of the God/human connection.

Politics is a strange animal.  One method used in politics is to accuse your opponent of doing exactly what you are guilty of.  Many people who are for the genocide of Israel are accusing President Biden of genocide in Gaza.  Israel is fighting against a terrorist group.  Those who do NOT want Israel to exist, are accusing Israel of genocide.  

The prophet Isaiah proclaimed that God has always been God and he will always be God.  He is not afraid that someone will evolve to His superior level.  He is not worried about tomorrow.  He has infinite power and knowledge.  When Cain murdered his brother Abel, God said that the voice of Abel's blood cried out to Him from the ground.(Genesis 4:10)  If the blood of Abel cried out to God from the ground, how much more does the blood of 63 million unborn Americans?  Matthew 10 tells us that God even knows when one sparrow falls to the ground.  Verses 30-31 says, "...even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."  

A day is coming when God will judge the whole world.  He will indeed show Himself to be the most powerful.  No one will take His place.  Lucifer tried to ascend to God's level.  The Bible prophesies that he will "be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."(Isaiah 14:15)  God has all wisdom and power.  From evolution to Gaza, God is and will always be God!

3 Gods

3 Gods

Evolution, Sex and Government

Evolution has become a god.  Only God is omniscient, all-knowing.  We imagine that nature has unlimited knowledge to know how it should evolve.  They say nature will find a way.  It is like saying that a car has the knowledge to build itself.  It is like saying that a house has the wisdom to design and construct itself.  What great faith the evolutionist imagines and holds onto!  Only God has always existed.  He created time and space.  The evolutionists assumes that time and space have always existed like God.  We even add billions of years to evolution for the appearance of having always existed.  What great faith the evolutionist holds onto.

Sex has become a god in our country.  We are asked to bend the knee and set our own beliefs aside.  If anyone does not support abortion and transgenderism, many people will not vote for them.  They are considered anti-women and transphobic.  We are asked to accept the killing of 63 million unborn babies and support the killing of millions more in the future.  The blood of Able, who was murdered by his brother Cain, cried out to God from the ground in Genesis 4:10.  How much more does the blood of 63 million babies cry out to God for justice?  Transgenderism is leading many people to commit suicide.  Children are having body parts cut off and are being sterilized.  They will never be able to have children.  If we do not show our support for such destruction, society may ostracize us socially.  Many people will not accept anyone who does not bend their knee to these two sacred cows of the god of sex.

  Christianity is under attack.  We are called Christian nationalist and are considered a threat to society.  Those trying to speak up for God's creation (the unborn) at an abortion center, can be taken to court or arrested and put in jail.  Government is trying to become a god to us.  When we lack food, they want us to look to the government.  If we need housing, they want us to look to the government.  We are becoming more and more dependent on the government for all of our needs.  God wants us to look to Him to supply our needs.  The government is trying it's best to control us and take God's place.

Killing Thy Neighbor

 

Kill Thy Neighbor

Joseph Smith and many Mormon leaders felt that the blood of Christ was NOT sufficient for the forgiveness of all sins.  Joseph Smith said, "In debate, George A. Smith said imprisonment was better than hanging.  I replied, I was opposed to hanging even if a man kill another, I will shoot him, or cut off his head, spill his blood on the ground, and let the smoke thereof ascend up to God; and if ever I ever have the privilege of making a law on that subject, I will have it so" (Joseph Smith, History of the Church 5:296).  A similar tone came from the First Presidency, "Brethren and sisters, we want you to repent and forsake your sins.  And you who have committed sins that cannot be forgiven through baptism, let your blood be shed, and let the smoke ascend, that the incense thereof may come up before God  as an atonement for your sins, and that the sinners in Zion may be afraid" (Jedediah M. Grant, September 21, 1856, Journal of Discourses 4:51). He also said, "I say, that there are men and women that I would advise to go to the President immediately, and ask him to appoint a committee to attend to their case; and then let a place be selected, and let that committee shed their blood." (Jedediah M. Grant, 1856, Journal of Discourses 4:49).  Bruce R. McConckie bluntly said, "But under certain circumstances there are some serious sins for which the cleansing of Christ does not operate, and the law of God is that men must then have their own blood shed to atone for their sins" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1966, p. 92).  Joseph F. Smith agreed.  "But man may commit certain grievous sins - according to his light and knowledge - that will place him beyond the reach of the atoneing blood of Christ.  If then he would be saved, he must make sacrifice of his Own life to atone - so far as in his power lies - for that sin, for the blood of Christ alone under certain circumstances will not avail" (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation 1:134).  He continued by saying, "Joseph Smith taught that there were certain sins so grievous that man may commit, that they will place the transgressors beyond the power of the atonement of Christ.  If these offenses are committed, then the blood of Christ will not cleanse them from their sins even though they repent .  Therefore their only hope is to have their own blood shed to atone, as far as possible, in their behalf" (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation 1:135).  Brigham Young said, "It is true that the blood of the Son of God was shed for sins through the fall and those committed by men, yet men can commit sins which it can never remit" (Brigham Young, September 21, 1856, Journal of Discourses 4:54).  It was recommended that some people go to the leaders voluntarily and have their blood shed for their sins.  Young stated, "There are sins that men commit for which they cannot receive forgiveness in this world, or in that which is to come, and if they had their eyes open to see their true condition, they would be perfectly willing to have their blood spilt upon the ground, that the smoke thereof might ascend to heaven as an offering for their sins; and the smoking incense would atone for their sins whereas, if such is not the case, they will stick to them and remain upon them in the spirit world. I know, when you hear my brethren telling about cutting people off from the earth, that you consider it is strong doctrine; but it is to save them, not to destroy them" (Brigham Young, September 21, 1856, Journal of Discourses 4:53).  He continued on to say, "I do know that there are sins committed, of such a nature that if the people did understand the doctrine of salvation, they would tremble because of their situation.  And furthermore, I know that there are transgressors, who, if they knew themselves, and the only condition upon which they can obtain forgiveness, would beg of their brethren to shed their blood, that the smoke thereof might ascend to God as an offering to appease the wrath that is kindled against them, and that the law might have its course.  I will say further; I have had men come to me and offer their lives to atone for their sins" (Brigham Young, September 21, 1856, Journal of Discourses 4:53-54).  Young rationalized the practice by saying, "Now take a person in this congregation who has knowledge with regard to being saved in the kingdom of our God and our Father, and being exalted, one who knows and understands the principles of eternal life, and sees the beauty and excellency of the eternities before him compared with the vain and foolish things of the world, and suppose that he is overtaken in a gross fault, that he has committed a sin that he knows will deprive him of that exaltation which he desires, and that he cannot attain to it without the shedding of his blood, and also knows that by having his blood shed he will atone for that sin, and be saved and exalted with the Gods, is there a man or woman in this house but what would say, 'shed my blood that I may be saved and exalted with the Gods?'" (Brigham Young, February 8, 1857, Journal of Discourses, 4:219).  

      Brigham Young stated that this was a principal of love.  "Will we love our neighbor as ourselves?...suppose that he is overtaken in a gross fault, that he has committed a sin that he knows will deprive him of that exaltation which he desires, and that he cannot attain to it without the shedding of his blood, and also knows that by having his blood shed he will atone for that sin, and be saved and exalted with the Gods, is there a man or woman in this house but what would say, 'shed my blood that I man be saved and exalted with the Gods?' All mankind love themselves, and let these principles be known by an individual, and he would be glad to have his blood shed.  That would be loving themselves, even unto an eternal exaltation.  Will you love your brothers or sisters likewise, when they have committed a sin that cannot be atoned for without the shedding of their blood?  Will you love that man or woman well enough to shed their blood?  That is what Jesus Christ meant" (Brigham Young, February 8, 1857, Journal of Discourses, 4:219, 220).  Young also said, "I could refer you to plenty of instances where men have been righteously slain, in order to atone for their sins. I have seen scores and hundreds of people for whom there would have been a chance (in the last resurrection there will be) if their lives had been taken and their blood spilled on the ground as a smoking incense to the Almighty, but who are now angels to the devil, until our elder brother Jesus Christ raises them up - conquers death, hell, and the grave.  I have known a great many men who have left this Church for whom there is no chance whatever for exaltation, but if their blood had been spilled, it would have been better for them.  The wickedness and ignorance of the nations forbid this principle's being in full force, but the time will come when the law of God will be in full force.  This is loving our neighbor as ourselves; if he needs help, help him; and if he wants salvation and it is necessary to spill his blood on the earth in order that he may be saved, spill it" (Brigham Young, February 8, 1857, Journal of Discourses, 4:220).

MLG Gun Control

         Michelle Lujan Grisham, New Mexico Governor, is going nuts on gun control.  She is passionately pushing gun control as a response to our big crime problem in Albuquerque, NM.  A major part of her re-election campaign was abortion or women's reproductive rights.  But Genesis 9:6 says, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man." This was probably given more as a law, but it is interesting for today.  Is it a coincidence that in a place where we have celebrated women's reproductive rights, we also have a high rate of homicide?  Abortion certainly devalues life.  Abortion implies that life is so cheap, that we can throw it away if it is not convenient.  When a murderer is pointing his gun at the innocent, life has already been cheapened in his mind.  Evolution further devalues life.  It claims that we are unplanned accidents of time and chance.  We are descendants of the animal kingdom.  This does not make the gunman feel like he is aiming at anything valuable.  The victim is perceived as an evolved animal, but who is to say that he should be allowed to keep evolving?  Creationism, on the other hand, gives great value to people.  We are designed by the greatest designer in the universe.  This gives us great value!  We are also made in the image of the most valuable being in the universe.  This adds even more value to our life.  The problem for Governor Grisham in New Mexico may not be guns.  The problem may be that New Mexico does not value life.

Black Blood on My Hands

 Black Blood on My Hands

        "Maga is racist, Trump is racist, Republicans are racist" and anyone who disagrees is racist.  This is the political mantra of our day. We have racism in American history.  The Democrat party was pro-slavery.  The Democrat party was home to the Ku Klux Klan.  The Democrat party was against the civil rights movement and for segregation.  Today, the situation for our black community is worse than ever.  Abortion has been carefully leveraged against black people.  The black baby has been 4 times as likely to be aborted than the white baby in America.  We have white-washed it in the name of women's rights or reproductive rights.  But we have probably aborted about 20 million black people in America.  So in the last 50 years, we have reduced the black population by at least 40 million black people. Since abortion was legalized in 1973, the first aborted black babies may have been grandparents by now.  In Genesis 4, Cain killed his brother Abel.  God confronted Cain and said, "...What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."(Genesis 4:10)   If the blood of Abel cried unto God from the ground, how much more so the blood of 20 million black souls.  So, how does it concern me?  I go to work and pay taxes.  My taxes go toward decreasing the black population.  Their blood is on my hands through my taxes.  If you are voting for reproductive rights, you have their blood on your hands as well.  God's eyes are certainly on the innocent. 

Gift of Repentance and the Bad Neighbor

        Some people are saying, "I am so thankful for the gift of repentance."  Many are seeking to be worthy through their good own works, but the law requires perfection.  When they cannot reach that perfection, some fall back on the "gift of repentance" idea.

        It is similar to having a bad neighbor.  Suppose your neighbor steals from you and a week later apologizes and returns your property.  The next week he steals from you again and again apologizes.  Every week you find him stealing and apologizing.  Soon you would start to believe that your neighbor is insincere and his apologies mean nothing.  If your neighbor declares, "I am so thankful for the gift of apologizing", you are not going to take him seriously.

        On the other hand, you would believe your neighbor was sincere if he apologized for stealing from you, never stole from you again and was a great neighbor for the next 30 years.  The need for daily repentance highlights a person's daily failure.  True repentance involves forsaking the sin.

        So where does real worthiness come from?  2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."  Why do many ignore this truth?  Romans 10:3 states, "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."  

        Here is the question: Are we focused on ourselves or on Christ?  Are our eyes on our good works and many acts of repentance or are we focused on Christ and his work on our behalf.  We all must repent, but are we looking to Christ for salvation or are we looking to ourselves for salvation?  God saves in God's way which is through Christ Jesus.  We cannot save ourselves with even our best efforts.
