How to be pro-life in Biden's america

[Gregoryp]

People aren't being taught God's Word in a lot of churches -- lots of congregations only want to hear 'feel good' sermons. And, you're right -- people want to be to 'do their thing' sexually, but with no negative consequences. Just doesn't work that way. And with same-sex coupling -- well -- brings Other physical , emotional problems, but no more babies.

People are wanting to "make" love through sexual intimacy instead of "showing" the love that's already existing between the man and woman.

And, Maybe, people need to know how to be Friends. A question was asked once -- if a person had to choose between having a friend OR having sex -- which would you choose. I'd rather have a friend -- because 'sex' Can be simply bodily interaction with another person with no real emotions / feelings involved.

Believe me, I wish I had a dollar for every person that had an emotional attachment to someone after having an affair or a one night stand. Life can get very complicated for some people when they go down that route. A one night stand can and does turn into an emotional nitemare for sometimes both people. There are consequences for fornicating with random people, and this is one of them. So love can be found after a sexual dalliance, but certainly that is not what the people intended. I am not talking from personal experience BTW.

I think viewing this as a war is not the most helpful. It's too easy to end up viewing people who disagree with us as enemy combatants or collaborators etc.

But even if you do, the war is being won. The abortion rate has dropped hugely in the past 30 years.

Sir,,I called it a war because it IS a war...which is why we are called to be WARriors....Diplomats do not put on armor. Warriors do. Diplomats do a lot of talking but little else. We are called to be warriors and to be diplomats both. Kings and priests....Both are action figures when they work as a pair. Our problem, as Christians, is that we do not even know who we are, except in a fairy tale sort of way....We talk a lot but do little for the real glory of God.

Ephesians 6:12 CJB
12 For we are not struggling against human beings, but against the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm.

Thinking more about people who go to parties -- get drunk -- end up pregnant and no idea who the father is. Or it could be one of several guys. Sometimes the baby ends up looking just like the Dad. So it becomes obvious who the father is.
There's a guy I'd gotten to know a while back -- he'd been divorced and ended up allowing for a week-end stand with a lady he'd met on-line. He said that the emotional fall-out for himself wasn't worth it.

And people who've known each other for a while and hormones / chemistry cause them to try being together -- just once - to see how it feels. Well -- that can be distasterous.

And neither am I. A person just learns a lot over the years. Learning from other people's mistakes. Dear Abby's newspaper colume from years ago.

I agree with you @Admon Mikha'el this is a war.

I thank God that I did go through that path coming up in life.

Isn't the devil such a lair?

He lies to people to make them think that the way of the world is actually better.
But for most Christian adults who know the cost of sin, the price of sin, and all of the issues, for me it is just plain to see, point blank,
that God's way is best.

Yes, no one likes to wait, lets be honest. And patience can be hard. However, waiting till marriage is much much easier and more beneficial than
dealing with all of the other issues that come when you don't wait ( child support, abortions, STDs, spiritual strongholds, emotional issues, trauma,
promiscuity, low self-esteem, bad reputation, a cycle of bad decisions, ruining your experience with you future spouse, etc ,etc)
Not speaking from experiences but I do work as a mental health therapist and people share about their lives, and you can imagine how
after talking to different people, I see patterns in human behavior and I see the mental health connection with so many issues.

Gross generalization here, so don't attack me, but many women that sleep around a lot tend to have mental health issues related to their emotions
and many men that do such, tend to have anger issues or a spirit of control comes over them.

I like that, the focus on "showing" love rather than "making" love.
