God doesn’t want to be apologized for. He is Who He Says He Is. Our “It is what it is.” thinking should be able to wrap itself around this. We have to accept the God that God truly is. He doesn’t save every baby and infant that dies. Aborting your baby ensures he/she and you are condemned to a future in torments followed by the Lake of Fire tormented forever. “The Yehoowah, the Yehoowah Elohim, The LORD, the LORD God, … ,by no means clears the guilty, the LORD God visits the iniquity of the parents upon the children.” Exodus 34:6 and 7. “One believing parent sanctifies the unbelieving else were your children lost as the demons are, but a believing parent makes them holy.” 1Corinthians 7:14 paraphrase (Unclean, akathartos, is the word used interchangeably for demons and unclean spirits, the most assuredly damned of all creation.) “Whoever murders a micro-child of Mine, better if noosed to a millstone and cast in the sea, than noosed by murder to the micro-child” Luke17:2, Mark 9:42, Matthew 18:6 paraphrase ties setting a scandalon, stumblestone, to a lie-in-wait premeditated violent murder. Tie around neck is certainly today’s noose. I know you are all saying David’s first son by Bathsheba wasn’t condemned when he died incapable ten days old. David was not only a believer but had even been fasting and praying since before the babies birth until the day baby died. Remember, the doctrine Parents belief saves their incapable child at untimely death, unbelief condemns them both. Bill O’Reilly hopes we don’t demonize women who’ve had abortions. Maybe Bill would rather we demonize God. Fact is, only demons can demonize. It is the harm they do us as in possession and/or the pain they pummel us with. Just to recognize what happens, what God’s policy is toward us based on our behavior, recognition and sharing in the general case is not demonizing. It is understanding reality. To proceed disoriented to reality is idiotic or psychotic. God is our bedrock of reality. But God is not what we make him, rather He is what He says that He is, similar to how He names Himself, I Am That I Am, or, I Shall Be What I Shall Be, from Septuagint: I Am Being. What He says He is. We say we are this or that but don’t know ourselves who we are. He is What He Says He Is. That is my modern paraphrase of His tetragramatan and Self appellation I Am That I Am. Take that or leave it as you will. He most definitely isn’t Not What I Say I Am. Therefore, we should leave off “He wouldn’t condemn the micro-babies” with its attendant adjustment of God’s policies and very essence. Instead, accept that parent’s unbelief condemns the incapable child. Then adjust our overall estimation of God and creation accordingly. What responsibility for our children does multiply to us parents? What multiplication of consequences to our response to the gospel as parents or even prospective parents? What multiplication of consequences for abortion? Abortion simply trades sharing life here with your child, trades it for sharing your life here with your child while he grows in torments then sharing eternity with your child, in torments followed by the lake of fire! Can a case be made to pregnant woman or her parents for choosing abortion over faith in Christ for common salvation of mother and incapable child. No! That is why accepting God as He Is Who He Says He Is is a good thing for all of us Christians.
