Tree of Life Sword Commentary ~ 3/6/2009 ~ Reports are that Barack Obama intends to lift the ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research on Monday. This is an immoral, reckless, anti-scientific agenda which this man intends to force on this country. The prior president slightly opened the door to limited experimentation on embryos and 33 days later we had September 11th. Needless to say, no one was thinking that embryos would save their lives that night. I remember the father of a transit officer who was killed that day saying, "We have to be good." In his grief, he was prophetically pointing out that we have to seek God's will in all things if we want to walk with Him and be under His protection. I can't understand why people are offended by these words. Why does this provoke such a defensive response? The Old Testament points out time and time again how much trouble Israel had when their kings did evil. After being sworn in, our new president promptly endorsed worldwide funding of abortion, courtesy of American taxpayers. Now, on the two month anniversary of his swearing in he intends to open the floodgates to a 'science' which amounts to nothing less than cannibalism. Although all treatments and cures have been via adult stem cell research, the culture of death grinds on...Mass producing embryos to be killed and strip mined in the name of 'scientific advancement' hearkens back to the atrocities of the Nazi experiments of the past. Has mankind learned nothing? As far as the liberal 'Catholic' politicians who are aiding this president in such evil endeavors; I can only imagine Jesus Christ confronting them as He confronted the hypocrites of His day when He proclaimed -
desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and has never stood for truth...' And for all those 'conservatives' who call Barack Obama a 'good man' - Good men don't repeatedly vote to deny a baby who survived an abortion any medical attention. 'Good men' don't think babies should be left alone to die without aid or comfort. This is an abomination. This is not a 'good man.' It's also amazing to think that Barack Obama's policies will no doubt kill more people than any terrorist will in the near future. And to the conservatives who seem to be only concerned with the financial impact of this administration's decisions, I only think of God's words of warning to the man whose priorities were much the same -
from you. Now who will get the things you've accumulated?' 33 days after Barack Obama signs this order it will be Good Friday. Christ offered Himself on this day to bring us eternal life in a glorified body, with Him, in His heavenly kingdom. Barack Obama and the legion behind him will offer you a counterfeit. A false eternal life built on a foundation of lies and murder. Again I say, "The anti-gospel is here." Christ died to bring us eternal life. We don't need to kill one another to achieve a horrible, nightmarish fake. Finally, I'd like to say that I do have peace and joy. I know the ending of this story. I know that Jesus Christ triumphs, once and for all, after unparalleled convulsions here on earth. I do worry, however, about the people who Christ described as neither hot nor cold. For anyone to live in this world and not be bothered by it is to be of this world. And Christ called satan the prince of this world. With that in mind I ask, "Who is your master?" Up until now we've had money and comforts to hide behind. When all that is gone to whom will you go? As Peter witnessed, there is only One Who truly has the words of eternal life. |
The future Pope told Peter Seewald: "God will take action to counter an ultimate crime, an ultimate act of self-destruction, on the part of man. He will take action against the attempt to demean mankind by the production of slave beings. There are indeed final boundaries we cannot cross without turning into the agents of the destruction of creation itself, without going far beyond the original sin and the first Fall and all its negative consequences" - From an interview Pope Benedict had before being elected Pontiff |
