In today's U.S. society, more than ever, excess emotionalism is driving the decisions of citizens and of our lawmakers. Both groups seem to think that legislation is going to fix all the problems of humanity, without our citizens taking full personal responsibility for our own desires and actions.
I recently tried to explain to someone that unborn babies in the womb are biologically and genetically discrete individuals whose birth sack and umbilical cord are each child's own genetically unique and separate system, segregated from the biology of the mother. The person didn't want to hear that scientific truth nor wish to explore the spiritual, moral, or social implications of the scientific facts. Instead, the person only wanted to dwell on how to address the potential desire of any woman who wants to kill and remove an unwanted unborn child. The irony is that this particular person claims to not personally believe in abortion. The foundation for the person's dualism of belief is evidently emotional in nature and therefore highly subjective. If all our decisions are based on feelings and not in an absolute standard then absolute truth has been rejected in favor of emotional relativism. In relativism everyone's feelings matter so much that no one's feelings and God's truth do not matter at all, because they set their own feelings as the standard, and thereby they invalidate everyone else's feelings and concerns, irrespective of real truth. God calls their way of thinking sin. In that situation there is no possibility for honest mutual discussion, neither for reasonable or rational solutions.
What we all need to do is return to the standard of God's Law and test our thoughts, feelings, and desires by the Authority of what God has said, because only He knows the truth about what is good or bad for us, instead of letting our feelings drive our lives.
Reason, godly morality, and personal discipline are quickly cast aside when we allow feelings, peer pressure, and sexual hormones to govern our feelings, thoughts, and actions.
The execution of more than 60 million innocent unborn children (under Roe v. Wade) mocks society's preservation of the lives of repeat violent offenders. How is it that our society is so in love with preserving violent criminals in our prisons, at the expense of society and the victims, but, yet, so hateful toward our very own unborn children? Societally, we treat the killing of our unborn as if we were sending our female family members to a deli counter for some processed meat. No greater earthly hypocrisy exists in our society, today. God has warned us about this kind of thinking for thousands of years, that in our time, evil things would be called good and good things would be called evil.
By our collective hypocrisy in these matters we prove our willful ignorance of the facts, our prejudices in favor of selfish interests, and our collective rejection of the things of God, for by our actions in these matters we prove that we violate God's two great laws, to love Him with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. The human laws by which we kill off our unborn children openly mock us, in light of the human laws by which we protect the lives of violent criminals. Thereby, we demonstrate our love of sin and our hatefulness toward God and His Standards.
We must repent of our sinful desires and actions, or we shall surely answer to God for allowing and promoting such travesties of godly law.
Please return to the Bible, God's Word, and examine your life by His Standards, then repent and ask Jesus to forgive and cleanse you from your sin, as all our nation needs to do.
