Mr President, CEASE ending your speeches with "God bless the United States." We have news for you. God is NOT going to bless a nation that legally murders 4,000 innocent babies every 24 hours or it's leader who supports this infanticide!
"They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters...and the land was polluted with blood..." (Psalms 106:38
"The Director of the Bryan, Texas Planned Parenthood clinic has just foresworn any further involvement in abortion. After eight years as an employee of Planned Parenthood and two years as Director of the Bryan clinic, Abby Johnson viewed an ultra-sound video of an abortion." If a woman planning on killing her baby was forced to watch a video of an actual abortion being performed, I have no doubt that even with the spiritual decay in our society, over 50% would cancel their appointment! The news of Abby Johnson, an employee of the world's number one baby killing organization makes this case perfectly.
The new hate crimes legislation, adding homosexuals to the list of protected groups. IS NOW LAW!!! Futher, it has NOTHING to do with actual violence towards homosexuals as the bill contends, but is simply a hammer that will be used to silence those who speak out, even from the Bible, against this sin. Subsequently, the groundwork is being laid to add those in the baby killing industry to this existing legislation in the near future in order to silence those who speak out against the slaughter of innocent babies! At Notre Dame, President Obama began to lay that very groundwork. What nobody picked up in President Obama's address to Notre Dame, were two very critical points. The first was in his plea for "civility in the rhetoric" regarding the abortion issue. This was nothing more than a very literal threat that those who have the audacity to call abortion what it is, murder, and call those who support abortion what they are, murderers, that telling the truth about this evil will no longer be tolerated. People with the guts to call this horrific act what it is will now be labeled as intolerant purveyors of hate. The second key point was the call by President Obama to find "common ground." This is simply an attempt to appear compassionate on this issue. The common ground always means those who stand for life are expected to compromise that stand, while those who support the legalized killing of babies are NEVER asked to change their position. They cleverly attempt to deflect this issue by talking about ways to reduce the number of abortions. Here's a great way to accomplish that folks, make it illegal!
On the Liveprayer.com homepage, there is a special 55 second video clip of an actual abortion being performed. If you have not watched it, YOU MUST! This is what happens to over 4,000 innocent babies EVERY DAY in this nation! Bill Keller receives death threats and scathing emails every month just for having that video on his website! Go figure, pro-abortionists DON'T want the REALITY and TRUTH exposed! However, Keller has had over 3,000 emails from women who were contemplating having an abortion, watched the video, and changed their mind (Watch the incredible testimony of baby Delilah also on that same link)

Abortion IS a big deal, America! It not only kills 1.5 million babies in this nation alone, it is going to bring down the wrath and judgment of God down HARD on our nation's people!

Nations and politicians do not kill the unborn, their mothers do. How to end it? Try sex education which includes lessons on safe sex. No one will stop teens or adults from having sex.
Larry, the illusion of the statistics you assume to be untrue, greatly show your lack of any education concerning the facts of abortion in this country! Study up sir....... You may well learn a few things?
I do not advocate abortion ever, but let's be civil/caring about the issue. Inform/educate but do not condemn, Sandy. That is not your place; pray for your country and call down blessings upon it !!!
I think your Bible quote speaks of the sacrificing of children to the god Moloch by the Israelites, practising the idol worship of the surrounding nations.
If he didn't say God Bless, you would be angered because he didn't say it, and say he was insulting all Christians because he wouldn't say God Bless America. You can't have it both ways...so get over it.
In regards to abortion. Go read my worst moment once on Stepahnie's post and tell me that the women raped by two men, disfigured for her life couldn't get an abortion...she was 16, raped by two men and had her face smashed in.
Abortion isn't always about contraceptive actions, but also because of rape...being molested by your own father...death during pregnancy (where both the mother and the child would die)
Get off the soapbox and open your eyes to what is really out there...Unless you go to a woman or teen at an abortion clinic and asked them why, don't assume you know why. Go volunteer at a rape center once and I dare you to tell those women and children that they don't have the right...again.....to do what they deem right to their own body. They didn't ask to be raped and beaten....so why should you another stranger rape them of their rights!!!!!!!!!!!
ps... Wrong, the fact that he does say it angers me greatly! obama says exactly what he believes folks want to hear and will continue to do so untill he has no further need of flowery lies OR the people, to secure his position!
Read and understand how these women felt after being raped and molested...then tell me to get off my soapbox. I stand up for the victims....stop raping these womens (and in one case, a child) once again by trying to control their bodies after men already did.
Try to connect the dots, Nellie?
All three of those horrendous things have been happening since day one. How can I personally stop it? I stopped the abuse by leaving...that was personal. Before I was raped myself, I fought and hope someone would hear my screams...that was personal. Murder..my daughter was murdered and he got away with it...that was personal.
And what the hell does legalizing these things have to do with a woman being beaten almost to death, raped in the vagina/mouth/ass, holes being made into her body to be raped there.....
Tell me...does what you say make sense?
Have you ever spoken to a woman who has had these things happen to her?
Have you ever watched your own child being ripped from your body because a man decided you were a punching bag?
Have you ever had a gun put to your head while you watch someone being beaten, raped and had the face smashed with a rock?
If you have witness these ordeals and still believe that the woman is not a victim, but the unborn child is only...you need a kick in the butt to wake up and see the real world.
I would love to take you to one of the meetings where women have been raped and sodimized and have you say "but the baby deserves to live...who cares about your mental will being."
How dare you say connect the dots. I have.....and I am tired of people like you who only see point a and point b, but forget there is a human being in between,.
Now, to honestly answer your questions as candidly as I can, yes I personally have and that would be a yes to all of your questions except the one if I've ever had to experience my baby ripped out of my body through abuse. I've been the punching bag but not lost a child from it. And yes, I have gone on and counciled long and tearful hours with several young women who have been so terribly injured. Both physically and mentally. A few even moved into my home for a time. Beautiful, precious ladies who had been physically and mentally abused by their partners or strangers as well as those who were suffering intensivally after making the wrong choice to abort their babies. Their's and I must add, my own outcome, outlook and any chance or ability to be of any genuine help to another woman, simply hinged on healing and wisdom...... Healing and wisdom directly from the hand of God as NO amount of group or private meetings or professionals or medications or religion or anything else could even begin to heal that horrible degree of wounding and damage done at every level of a woman's being. Nellie, you have wrongly assumed that because I stand so firmly against abortion for any reason, that I know not of your's or other's pain? That I or those I've interacted with are not aquainted with the potentially deadly grief, shame, anger, guilt and the searing mental and physical pain of physical and/or mental abuse from a man? You seem to have assumed a whole lot concerning somethings and some folks that you know not much about. You have wrongly assumed it would be impossible for any woman to believe as strongly and proclaim as I do, after having experienced and come through that nightmare more than once and alive and not be bitter or permantly scarred and calloused to the point of not NEEDING to address the woman's needs and the unborn child's as equals? It is because of God's healing and His alone that I am able to do so today..... A life is a life and EVERY life is precious and loved by Amightly God... And as Simon so wisely stated, there is NEVER a right way to do or justify a wrong thing. Period..... Trying to right a wrong by inflicting an even greater wrong on the totally innocent, only destroys the woman so much more, she just doesn't realize it at that time that she is then the one slashing into her own heart and soul even deeper than her assailent did!.......
Most of the "flaming" as Dennis expressed it, I've come to expect and for the most part, I rarely argue or debate over it these days..... Your comments, on the other hand, expressed more inner pain than I've seen in a while so I felt it important to take time and address it not only from personal experience but with God's Word which heals and which you or any other woman or man can have for yourselves if you sincerely seek the Lord Jesus Christ and ask Him for it..... The choice is one's own.......
James 1:5 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.
Psalm 30:2- O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
The "God bless America" finish by him and others is amusing to me but he is a politician and according to Machiavelli, he must at least appear to be religious.
This is why i dont go to church. Its nothing but people judging others. No one has the right to judge people like that.
Amanda F. Nov 5, 2009, 12:52pm EST
This is why i dont go to church. Its nothing but people judging others. No one has the right to judge people like that.
I had someone tell me they don't go to church because there are hypocrites there. I ask, do you go to the shopping Mall? They said yes. There are hypocrites there. I ask, do you go to the movies? They said sometimes. There are hypocrites there. I wonder why in the World people don't have a problem with hypocrites in our malls and movies and 100s of other places but have a big problem with Churches that have some hypocrites. Going to Church to worship God and be with our Christian brother and sisters is a big deal. Going to the malls is not a big deal.
The bible says not to judge people, It says to love eachother.
But the ones who belive in the bible are always the first to tell me Im doing wrong, and to judge me before talking to me.
Skin heads and the KKK are a christan group.
Personaly I have never herd of a hate group that didnt involve religon.
From my personal experance people who abuse gays do it in the name of god.
Most religon is full of hate and anger and its something I will not take a part in.
At least at the movies they have to keep there mouth shut, and at the mall its usualy loud enough to ignore the hatefull hags
This is why i dont go to church. Its nothing but people judging others. No one has the right to judge people like that. "
Amanda dear, you don't go to Church because you don't want to. Stop playing games with yourself my friend.
Read it again slowly, Amanda )
To tell you the truth Amanda. I think you just dont like God's people.
Oh and you are right, I dont want to go to church, I dont want to deal with all the looks, all the whispers, and all the BS that come with going to church. I loved it when I was young, but as I got older I found out what most of the people were like. I have gone to over 50 churches and will not step foot in another one unless one of my daughters want to go or it involves a wedding, death, or photo shoot.
I have been told I need to change or I would burn in hell
I have been forced to be saved
I have been orced into a confession
I have been pushed on to my knees
I have been singled out as an example of what you shouldnt do to your body
Along with many many other things.
Sadly that was my first day joining them. Nice welcome right? As im sure you can understand I didnt go back for seconds.
Ok sweetie ) You are welcome to go with me anytime and hubby if you're married.
"You are so correct but please don't allow me or any hypocrite to keep you from God and/or send you to hell." and then just leave it there as it's a matter between them and God.
We ALL are hypocrites. Christians and non alike.... All of us are sinners, flawed and enormously imperfect and further, because of that, we all stand guilty and condemed before Almighty God and rightly deserving of his perfect justice. UNLESS, we have accepted and are trusting in Christ to intervene for us, forgive us, cleanse us, deliver us and set us free from sin and God's judgement of our sins. It makes no difference how much or how little any of us have sinned, we still fall short of God's perfection and are in need of forgivness and a Savior.
THE BIBLE SAYS: "For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard." (Romans 3:23).
Sadly, while many people believe that God is real, many also believe that He is only "watching them from a distance" and has no real desire to know them personally. "God showed how much he loved us by sending his only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him." (1 John 4:9)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Even though we are separated from God because of our sins, God made a way for each of us to come back to Him. That perfect gift and way is:
Admit our spiritual need, "I am a sinner."
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross to take away your sins.
Repent. In other words, be willing to turn away from your sin.
Receive, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
Showing compassion for murder is never a good Ideal. You need to understand this.
Your God whoever that may be must be so proud.
You're never a meanie Dennis )
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and behaves unfaithfully toward him, 13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught— 14 if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, who has defiled herself; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not defiled herself— 15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 ‘And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD. 17 The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water. 18 Then the priest shall stand the woman before the LORD, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 And the priest shall put her under oath, and say to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse. 20 But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you”— 21 then the priest shall put the woman under the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman—“the LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD makes your thigh rot and your belly swell;
15 And Moses said to them: “Have you kept all the women alive? 16 Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the incident of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. 17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. 18 But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately.
7 The days of punishment have come;
The days of recompense have come.
Israel knows!
The prophet is a fool,
The spiritual man is insane,
Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity.
8 The watchman of Ephraim is with my God;
But the prophet is a fowler’s[a] snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God.
9 They are deeply corrupted,
As in the days of Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.
10 “ I found Israel
Like grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to Baal Peor,
And separated themselves to that shame;
They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!
13 Just as I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place,
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
14 Give them, O LORD—
What will You give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!
15 “ All their wickedness is in Gilgal,
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
All their princes are rebellious.
16 Ephraim is stricken,
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.”
17 My God will cast them away,
Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Israel Restored at Last
1 O Israel, return to the LORD your God,
For you have stumbled because of your iniquity;
2 Take words with you,
And return to the LORD.
Say to Him,
“ Take away all iniquity;
Receive us graciously,
For we will offer the sacrifices[a] of our lips.
3 Assyria shall not save us,
We will not ride on horses,
Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, ‘You are our gods.’
For in You the fatherless finds mercy.”
4 “ I will heal their backsliding,
I will love them freely,
For My anger has turned away from him.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
He shall grow like the lily,
And lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
6 His branches shall spread;
His beauty shall be like an olive tree,
And his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 Those who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And grow like a vine.
Their scent[b]shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 “ Ephraim shall say, ‘What have I to do anymore with idols?’
I have heard and observed him.
I am like a green cypress tree;
Your fruit is found in Me.”
9 Who is wise?
Let him understand these things.
Who is prudent?
Let him know them.
For the ways of the LORD are right;
The righteous walk in them,
But transgressors stumble in them.
The only way I can somewhat understand that time is by accepting that God is just and also merciful. He cannot deny himself. He also forgives and blesses time and time again. It is never helpful to just read a passage here and there, I think it is best understood, even if not agreed upon, to read the WHOLE in context.
Two wrongs never justify what’s right in truth. Monsters that rape or bring violence and/or death to any innocent life of man, woman, or child, have no place among any civilized, clear thinking, and cognizant people.
I'm not talking about the people who choose not to have children. I'm talking about the children they choose not to have. Some, by not conceiving them; some, by aborting them at an early stage of gestation. Neither category will have the gift of life.
I'm saying that if there's something wrong with abortion, it's probably not abstract beings not having the chance of being born onto this planet.
Of all the carnage in human existence, history will prove abortion to be the most egregious, and abominable of them all. It is in the results of our individual choices and decisions that we become what we eventually are in the eyes of God.
Well said, Aniko. So do I.
Well said Simon
Just curious. How did you learn this? Has God spoken to you about it?
Cuz God tole 'em to shoot people?
So, I will just say this instead,
MySpace Comments
You pay medical, you pay housing, you pay food, you pay for there time in giving birth, and sometimes they back out.
State adoption almost never happens, you need to foster, own your own home, and make a lot to adopt through the state.
I know a family who has been trying to adopt. A few thousand bucks and a few years later they decided to have her sister carry the child.
Once again, this is equating God's unmerited grace and mercy with the idea of some kind of a reward/punishment system towards those who do good and those who do not do good.
God's mercy and love is not something that we "earn" from Him by minding all our Ps & Qs and behaving like good little boys and girls.
Exodus 22:19 tells us that God will be gracious to whom He will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom He will show mercy.
If God's blessings and love were dependent upon us deserving them or upon any one of us earning them, who would God have to bless or love??
Abraham Lincoln signed a congressional resolution in 1863 that called for a day of fasting and prayer during the Civil War. Throughout history, America has been blessed BECAUSE of our calling upon Amighty God for His guidence and seeking His blessings. Continuing into present day, a bill proclaiming an annual National Day of Prayer was unanimously passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1952. In 1988 Congress fixed the National Day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May.
On May 5, 1988, President Reagan prayed, "Let us join together to petition God to show us His mercy and His love, to heal our weariness and uphold our hope, that we might live ever mindful of His justice and thankful for His blessings."
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land," II Chronicles 7:14.
Get thee behind me satan!
I re-read the post and all the comments and have no idea where I got the perception that someone somewhere was claiming that God would stop blessing or showing mercy to America because of abortion.......
So, I fully admit that my comment above was based on my own erroneous perception, rather than any of the actual content of this post.........
And I mistakenly took this post for inferring or trying to say something similar to that.
I genuinely apologize for my error............
If Obama offends God, then it is between God and Obama....not between God and the United States of America.........
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. Genesis 18:26
We all know the outcome of those words.......

A 10 from me.
A country bent on change? God NEVER changes and we would be MUCH wiser to turn back to Him and the Biblical foundations that our once great country was built upon and formerly blessed by God for.....
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America .”
A powerful statement indeed. One that every freedom loving, God fearing, American SHOULD have taken notice of. We are witnessing that ‘fundamental change’ right now and, amazingly, not too many people seem to have a problem with it? If Obama wants to ‘fundamentally transform’ America he has to begin by ‘transforming’ the core beliefs found in our Constitution, the Declaration of Independance and Bill of rights!
The United States of America has been the greatest nation on the face of the planet for over 200 years. And that fact is due to the core foundation of belief that our founding fathers fought and died and pondered to establish. That foundation was built on the belief in our divine creator and his plan for human dignity and free will under God’s righteous law. Our founders believed the words of Christ.......This great nation was built on a strong foundation and now enemies that have infiltrated it, desire to change that foundation to suit their selfish desires. And, as anyone knows, when you destroy the foundation of a strong structure, that structure is doomed to fall. It cannot hold up the weight of itself and in the end it will collapse. The enemies that have, for many years been allowed to infiltrate our government with the desire to change our foundation to suit their selfish desires.
That is exactly what we are looking at today!
If we stand idly by and watch, we will see the collapse of this once great nation. I don’t know about you but that would break my heart.
Or you can just do nothing and hope for the best? However, if you chose this option you may well hear Jesus saying and very soon........
“Oh America , America , you chose a lie over the truth and evil over good. And so what has been given to you will be taken away.”
And just this PARTIAL list reveals Marxists, Liberation Theologists, domestic terrorists and communists. How about Angela Davis, former candidate for Vice President on the Communist Party ticket? Bill Ayers, unapologetic Pentagon bomber; Jeremiah Wright, Liberation Theologist and declared hater of America and its values; Andrew Stern, president of the leftist Services Employees International Union; Michael Moore, outspoken socialist film maker; Malik Shabazz, leader of the New Black Panther Party--dedicated to the militant overthrow of America; George Soros, billionaire financier of socialism; Cass Sunstein, a so-called legal scholar who advocates a second bill of rights, supporting the socialist movement.
These are just a few of the people who are being welcomed with open arms by the man who now occupies the Oval Office. Not only are they being welcomed, they are coming to the White House to give advice or to receive political favor. These are people who are enemies of the state.
These are the movers and shakers in the White House's politics of change. These are the
"Yes we can" warriors dedicated to destroying the US Constitution and the American way of life.
1 Corinthians 15:33 says, "Be not deceived: evil companionship corrupts good moral habits." Secular and Christian watchmen alike are sounding the alarm that our nation is in grave danger.
As Edmund Burke wrote: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
The handwriting is on the wall for all who can see. We can only hope that your words don't fall on deaf ears. Our freedoms under God should never be taken for granted in the knowledge that what is given can also be taken away.
