O my God, can you sort out the thoughts of my mind. They are many and diverse. I am not so much confused by my thoughts as by what I see. Many false prophets have gone out into the world to deceive many. Things have been made so strange. You are my Hope and strength.
When a man speaks a word from the Lord and it does not come to pass, was that word he spoke really from the Lord? Do not muddle the question with your many doctrines. Let me ask another, simpler question. If a man says he is telling you the truth and it turns out to be a lie, was what he told you the truth? Why do we make things more complicated than they need to be!
Is God ever caught by surprise or unaware? NO. Does He know the end from the beginning? YES. Can God lie? NO. The answers to these questions are not debatable, they do not have an exception, nor can they change. Why then is there so much debate and confusion across the Christian religion.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. - Jhn 1:12-13 NKJV
I’ve heard it said that God is releasing a “new breed”, the best of all the bloodlines, and this is the last generation who will usher in the Lord’s return. This is a false word and should not be listened to. The above Scripture says it is not by blood (or genealogy). Being descendent of one of the apostles does not give you any advantage. All have sinned, all have fallen short. No man on the entire earth has ever been preferred by God because of genealogy (bloodline). It has been said that since the legalizing of abortion after Roe v Wade in 1973 that this “new breed” will begin to be born. This uses the 1973 date as the earliest time for a “new breed” Christian to be born, with the legalization of abortion being Satan’s attempt to stop such a plan. The problem here is that abortion has been around and legal at much earlier times in history across the globe.
Before 1803 British Common Law allowed abortion before “quickening” (the time it was then widely thought the soul entered the body—approximately 20-24 weeks.) Abortions after “quickening” were considered an offense but there were no fixed penalties and the woman was not always held responsible. However in 1803 the Lord Ellenborough Act made abortion at any time in the pregnancy a felony under English statute punishable by death.
The Offenses Against the Person Act of 1861 softened this, making abortion punishable by imprisonment of three years to life, even when done for medical reasons. 1929 saw the introduction of the Infant Life Preservation Act, which amended the 1861 law saying abortion was no longer a felony so long as it was in good faith for the sole purpose of preserving the mother’s life. The new law made it illegal to kill a baby “capable of being born live.” It also said the child should be presumed viable at 28 weeks, but gave doctors the power to decide the legality when the mother’s health in danger.
The article “A Global History of Abortion” on the Life.org.nz website in New Zealand reports that “In 1920 the Soviet Union legalized abortion on demand and the World League for Sexual Reform began in Berlin. The influential 1929 London Congress of the World League for Sexual Reform promoted the Soviet abortion law as an ideal for its pioneering secular ideology,” and that “By 1932, supporters in the medical profession were lobbying the British Medical Association and in 1936, the Abortion Law Reform Association (ALRA) was established.”
Then in 1938 Dr. Alec Bourne challenged the law with a test case. He aborted a 14-year-old girl who had been raped by four soldiers, and turned himself in to the authorities. He gained great publicity and public sympathy and was acquitted. Life.org.nz reports, “Justice McNaughten told the jury that if Bourne believed that continuation of the pregnancy ‘would make the woman a physical or a mental wreck,’ then he operated for the purpose only of preserving the life of the woman.”
The article continues, “As a result of the Bourne case, more and more abortions began to be practised in Britain in cases where the woman’s physical or mental health was thought to be in danger, a loophole in the law that was interpreted increasingly loosely. This ambiguous legal precedent was adopted by other Commonwealth nations.” (http://www.hli.org/files/sr_jan_08.pdf)
With these above examples, it is very presumptuous to decide that America’s legalizing of abortion indicates the beginning of God’s plan. He is not working solely on the scale of America but he has died for the sin of the world. Exactly what plan of God is this belief playing into? I’ll allow you to seek the Lord.
Well, anyway, it is the year 2012 and the generation of the “new breed” is coming to a close by those who spoke it defining a generation as 40yrs in the context of this word. There has been almost no change in the body of Christ. We pump each other up with the “latest” word while so many go unnoticed through our midst just needing a friend. I want to love and be loved. Let us quite chasing something and be someone.
