I just lost my mother to cancer. It’s very raw. But her final words a minute before death were,
“I love you all.
God is still in control.
Never give up on serving God.”
Why would she say this, knowing God was not healing her?
Death is a consequence of sin. It is meant to humble us and turn us to the Lord. Only God is sovereign enough to know when is best to let someone pass. Sometimes He intervenes and sometimes He doesn’t. To the last moments I thought He would save Mom. But Christ died and rose again, so death has no power and so that we also could rise with Him.
“For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.”
Romans 8:20-21 ESV
“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 26, 56-57 ESV
I know God is still in control.
I will never give up on serving God.
@farmingandJesus ““Blessed are you when others revile you & persecute you & utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice & be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Matthew 5
Keep telling the truth! It is loving.
@Jarebea89675150@c0de_r3dd@KristanHawkins That’s horrible, the blame is on the rapist, which is why he should die. Factor in the baby. We should rightfully be concerned about life-threatening issues the child faces (and may overcome), but also not threaten the life of the baby by killing it. We’re going in a circle here.
@juniebgrown444@c0de_r3dd@KristanHawkins Or don’t play God, let the baby live too. It deserves to live, we don’t know the future. Maybe the child heals and the baby lives a meaningful life.
Who else should we kill for our convenience in the wake of tragedy? Murder isn’t a valid option, so this problem doesn’t apply.
@SanchezMamacita@c0de_r3dd@KristanHawkins Oh it’s just magically an infant at birth? And is an infant less human than a toddler or a teenager or an adult?
The stage of development doesn’t matter. An embryo is a human and killing it is murder.
“They’re not human.” —slaveowners, Nazis, pro-choicers
@uranoutofluck You people are insane. You always take it to the extreme. Why?
“Comfortable”??!! What gives you the idea I am comfortable with any of it? Rapists and pedophiles should be killed.
Killing the BABY can’t factor in & the blame of what that 10 yr old goes through is on the rapist.
"Pride" requires child loss.
Losing their in-tact family when one of their parents "comes out."
Losing their mother or father so a same-sex couple can "have" children.
Losing their reproductive function/organs when an adult convinces them they are trans.
Losing their innocence when subjected to drag queens twerking or leather-strapped men parading.
"Pride" harms children.
@Jarebea89675150@c0de_r3dd@KristanHawkins We have to find a solution that doesn’t kill the baby. But we should for sure be killing whoever made her pregnant. You only call me vile because you deny that the baby is a human. But it is. The situation is vile, but I’m not.
@SanchezMamacita@c0de_r3dd@KristanHawkins It is. An egg combines with sperm to create a human at all stages of development.
The crazies losing it at my statement deny this basic, obvious biological concept to appease their guilty conscience. Then lie that I want 10 yr olds raped & pregnant. Rape & Abortion are demonic.
@c0de_r3dd@KristanHawkins A 10-yr old carrying a child to term is orders of magnitude less disturbing than killing the baby. An incredibly difficult situation—but that baby has to die? Why?! They didn’t choose their father/mother, neither did we. A role of gov is to protect the God-given right to life.
@libsoftiktok@RichmondPolice Humanity, our nation, my Commonwealth, my neighbors—sick. The regression has been severe since the sexual revolution. The pull of sin is always downward. But Jesus descended to the depths to defeat it & has risen/ascended and he alone can pull those that follow upwards with him.
@farmingandJesus I worked in Chi Alpha for 5 years. The carnage turned me away. Thought about writing on the deception hurting many, mostly sincere, believers in the “movement.” Criticism is dismissed by their leaders as “a spirit of offense/division.”
@HouseDemocrats If we have to pay taxes this is what they should be used for. If you came here illegally, self-deport & try to come back the right way. Take the kids, everyone. It’s not the government’s fault, it’s yours for coming illegally. If you’re melting down you need professional help.
@UcheMaryOkoli Can you show me the scripture(s) that verify your claim about infant baptism?
Eph. 2:8-9
Romans 10:10
Romans 10:13
Mark 16:16
Please read these carefully! Emphasis for salvation is on trust & belief (faith) in Christ. Baptism FOLLOWS that. Can an infant understand and believe?
They got "married."
Then they "had" a child.
Why does "love winning" require children lose their mother?
You could either believe children deserve to be raised by their mother and father or you can support gay marriage.
You cannot do both.
