I was thinking about the “pro-choice” rhetoric Hillary is
throwing around, and the fact that rarely do pro-choice advocates ever finish
the sentence. Choose WHAT? Suddenly it struck me. Why didn’t I see it so clearly before? When we “choose” to kill an innocent person,
we are choosing against one of the Ten Commandments. “You shall not kill” (Exodus 20:13).
So, if we think we are smart enough to reframe one of God’s
commandments, what is to stop us from reframing all of them? We just come up with a few arguments out of
our creative imaginations and call it the “right to choose.” If we
can choose to kill, we can surely choose to steal or lie or commit adultery or throw
our parents under the bus or worship idols or .... well, anything at all. We can make it a law or failing that, bring
it to the Supreme Court and hope they will make it a law.
But—to paraphrase words President Obama is fond of using—at some
point, we have to decide if that is the kind of people we want to be.
And if in reading this you realize that you have fallen
short of keeping God’s laws (as I surely have), please know that there is
forgiveness and restoration in Jesus Christ, when we turn from our sins and
call on Him for salvation. He can even
give forgiveness and healing for those who have killed their own children. What a great salvation!
