Fascinating life news lately. We have the president himself saying, and I quote, "There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being." And yesterday was the news of policemen in Oklahoma confiscating a man's anti-abortion bumper sticker and even calling the Secret Service and having him investigated because they perceived his "Abort Obama Not the Unborn" bumper sticker as a threat to Obama. Obviously, the sticker owner meant to "terminate Obama's presidency"; he wasn't advocating terminating the president's life! I find it interesting that movies can be made about assassinating a sitting president, as in the case of George W. Bush, but an anti-abortion bumper sticker calling out the pro-abortion president is a threat! But I digress. The real point of this paragraph was to note that we live in a country where the president states that God does not condone taking the life of an innocent human being, and where law enforcement officers define abortion as murder, but we choose to turn a blind eye to abortion of innocent babies anyway. That is the real danger of a prideful and haughty nation - one that absolutely knows the evil that it is doing and does it anyway with no regard for the word of its God.
These...things the LORD hates...(and) are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood... Proverbs 6:16-17
They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. Therefore the wrath of the LORD was kindled against His people, so that He abhorred His own inheritance. Psalm 106:37-38, 40
...keep all these commandments and do them, which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and to walk always in His ways...lest innocent blood be shed in the midst of your land...and thus guilt of bloodshed be upon you. Deuteronomy 19:9-10
