Baby-Battered

As one liberal politician so comfortably stated, “My wife and I are raising our children to be moral and ethical people, but, if they make a mistake, I would not punish them with a baby.” The person who spoke those words confesses to be a Christian. Is there such a thing as a Christian who believes that pregnancy is a punishment? Even in the most pagan of ancient societies where they would sacrifice new-born children to the gods, they never considered those babies to be “punishments.” I believe that much of modern, Western society has hit a new low in the area of cultural immorality.

The interpretation of life is something that requires more than head knowledge. Life is not a matter of political opinion or personal views. Life is objective, obvious, and unquestionable.

The Dump

What is the biblical definition of hell?

Three words used for “hell” in the Bible:

1. Tartaroo - a word borrowed from the Greek world which was a reference to the place where angels were punished in the world of mythology.

2. Hades – A Greek translation of the Hebrew word Sh’ol – only word used for hell in the Old Testament and refers to the world of the dead, grave, pit, and sleep. The Gates of Hades is a physical place in the Decapolus where the pagan God, Pan, was worshiped.

3. Gei-Hinnom

Baby Doomers

“Deciding when life begins is above my pay grade.”

After listening to this statement made by a particular presidential candidate as he responded to Rick Warren’s question about the beginning of life, I was reminded of an ethics class I took a couple of years ago at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Dr. Peterson was the professor and he gave a scenario of a burning hospital building where one hundred zygotes were kept safely frozen while one infant screamed in horror, choking from the smoke. He then asked, which one would you save, the screaming infant or the one hundred fertilized human eggs?
