I'm not an anti abortion activist -- So What?

I'm getting sick and tired of the so-called christian anti abortion activists and their self rightious attitude. While it is a wonderful thing to minister to the momma thinking about an abortion and bringing her to an understanding of christ and repentance, don't come at me with an atitude because I'm not joining you in abortion clinic protests. I've heard the "don't you know babies are being killed!" remarks and blah, blah, blah.

This silly self-righteous of people that think they are doing something really important whereas those who minister in different ways are ignoring the "really important issue". If someone has this attitude, then they are guilty of several sins:

First and foremost, they are not trusting the Lord on this issue. Isn't the Lord aware of abortions taking place, and if so, why is He not doing anything about it? Remember, abortion is another sin in this sin ridden world, so why does the Lord allow any sin to exist? He has His reasons, AND He has given the true believer the means to deal with sin. Don't forget the main issue, that the solution to SIN is the GOSPEL, not political protests of any form or voting.

Second, they are being puffed up in pride, thinking God is only speaking to them in terms of a calling for ministry.

Third, they are focusing primarily on the temporal rather than the eternal.

Here are a few questions I like to ask a person who implies I don't care about babies being slaughtered.

Isn't the Lord in sovereign control, or do you believe He has forsaken those babies?
Where do those babies go who are murdered"? The answer is usually to heaven. This gets the person with the self-righteous attitude angry, because it cuts to the heart of the issue - that he or she has their eyes not on the spiritual or eternal things, but rather on the moral or temporal.
I also ask, "Are pregnant mother's seeking an abortion the only people who might be heading for hell", or "does God only want us reaching out to pregnant mothers, or is He concerned with other people as well?" After all, there is only so much time in a day. The zealous abortion protester oftentimes put themselves in the position of suggesting that believers should be doing nothing else except "trying to rescue those babies".

Well, I guess Jesus was deceived about the importance of abortion protest, because He told His church to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:19-20). Where is a single political or moral 'protest' in the New Testament? There were nations around Israel at the time of Jesus' first visit that practiced infanticide in some form or another. Why didn't Jesus go there and stop that evil? He certainly could have, or at least He could have told His disciples to do that. If the pregnant woman doesn't repent, then you're not making disciples, only preaching at lost people who don't want to hear. I think we can trust the unborn into the Lord's hands, and obey HIM.

I hope these questions asked in concerned compassion, will help the person to see that they are zealous, but without knowledge and perhaps in self-righteousness. If the Lord calls them to minister the gospel outside an abortion clinic, then praise the Lord! But if He calls another person to minister the gospel at the homeless shelter or a local nursing home and not at the abortion clinic, then praise the Lord as well!

peace be unto you,
