Morality... to legislate or not...that is the question.

Until 1962, termination of a fetus wasn’t an issue (in the religious Christian world) until Pope John XXIII (1958-1963) made it an issue with Sheri Finkbine. About ten years later Roe v Wade made history. If a fetus becomes viable and is able to sustain viability outside the womb (take a breath on its own) it is a baby and termination of that life is murder.  The earliest known historical case of a child breathing outside the womb is 21 weeks after conception. A life is an important issue.

We do not know when the breath and the souls are breathed by God into the womb. Living things grow which is natural. A human life cannot be sustained without a soul and a soul cannot be sustained without a life.  God knows us inside that womb.

“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)

I know personally women who have terminated their pregnancies—approximately 6 to be exact. Each one has shared with me that they prayed over their actions before proceeding. Two of the women were spit on when they went to a clinic and called “Baby killing murderers!” They terminated their pregnancies (less than 12 weeks) morally what they felt was between them and God.

When people do what they feel is between them and God, where does anyone get off standing on a street corner calling them names and shouting other obscenities? Furthermore where does our federal government get off trying to Legislate morality? When the people (average Christians or Legislatures) behave this way, is it not like the “pot calling the kettle black”?

There is not a person on the face of this earth who is living, breathing, speaking, and with some sign of intelligent life that isn’t a sinner of one form or another. The leader of the pack is the US Government (my government) who has no room what so ever to try and Legislate morality. Let me put this plainer, MORALITY CANNOT BE LEGISLATED. Morality is between an individual person and God not a nation.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Jeremiah 31:33)

If we want to get technical and state “morality” needs to be Legislated than let’s get realistic. In the latter 1940’s sterilization was enforced. There was a case that I was told about by relatives of a (Caucasian) woman being forcibly sterilized because she had two children outside of wedlock. The father of those two children went on to marry, prosper well, have other children with his wife, and lived happily ever after. He was not held accountable for his actions of being a being solicitous and spreading his wherever and whenever. I guess his sperm jumped on the woman, crawled up her leg, and she was able to self impregnate which caused her to violate a moral community law forcing her to be sterilized for public safety.

I am not a feminist although I am a 54 year old Christian. I am looking at current, future, and past “morality” laws, rules, regulations issued (only) against women. Is this type thinking in society due to the original sin of Eve? Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe Adam took no culpability on his part, was weak, and blamed all of this on Eve? Adam also didn’t do what God instructed Adam to do, which was take charge and rule over all living creatures.  

²⁶ And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. (Genesis 1: 26-30)

⁷ And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul…¹⁶ And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: ¹⁷ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die… (Genesis 2:7, 16-17)

Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; ¹⁸ thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; ¹⁹ in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:17-19)

Pray for each other.

This is just my opinion and no one has to agree. I respect that. I respect your opinion, so please respect mine.

God bless each you all and stay safely in His arms.
