2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV) “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God…”
Editor’s Note: Throughout the scriptures, God has made it clear that shedding innocent blood is murder, and no murderer will enter heaven. In addition to the death of the unborn baby, abortion also substantially harms the women and many times, families, husbands, boyfriends and a whole sphere of relationships connected to and surrounding each abortion. Often, lifelong guilt and other social, relational, spiritual and even physical problems follow the murder of innocent babes in the womb. Pastor Jim Bakker believes that this issue, abortion, may be the single most significant issue that brings God’s judgment on this nation more than any other.
Pope Francis delivered his harshest words yet regarding abortion.
The Pope has been very conspicuous in trying to steer the church away from subjects that have caused controversy such as abortion and gay marriage. However, in a speech Monday, the Pope made clear his opposition to the killing of babies.
The Pope said abortion was evidence of a “throwaway culture” that has dominated many parts of the world. He also said the evil of abortion was a serious threat to the world.
“Unfortunately, what is thrown away is not only food and dispensable objects,” the Pope said, “But often human beings themselves who are discarded as unnecessary.”
In addition to condemning abortion, the Pope spoke boldly against those who would use children as soldiers, those who commit human trafficking and any kind of slavery that is a “crime against humanity.”
The comments came as the Pope blessed 32 babies in the Sistine Chapel.
The Pope also announced that his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, given to the pontiff for the brand’s 110th anniversary, would be auctioned in Paris next month with the funds going to feed the poor.
