Recently, I heard someone say this:
“My parents are too old to contribute anything of value to society. Caring for them is expensive and has become a full-time job. It’s not fair that I be burdened with the responsibility. I’m in the prime of life!
So, I’ve decided to kill my parents.
Unless you’re willing to take my parents into your home, keep your mouth shut. This was a difficult decision to make and I don’t need your judgment.”
Full disclosure, I didn’t actually hear anyone say this. Our culture has not degraded to the point where we openly advocate murdering our parents. Yet.
However, I did actually hear someone blame me for her abortion. In her warped mind, I am responsible for taking care of everyone I don’t want to see killed. Unless I bring potential murder victims into my home, I’m not really ‘pro-life.’
It’s not hard to imagine this gal asking me to give her the money to buy a new car. If I refuse (for whatever reason) she blames me for making her rob a bank; then mocks me for calling myself, ‘Anti-Crime.’
Shedding innocent blood is an abomination. I am not responsible for the blood on your hands. However, Jesus Christ has voluntarily suffered God’s wrath for your abortion. You can get rid of the guilt by admitting the crime and asking God to forgive you.
“This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.”
(Deuteronomy 30:19)
