The world was witnessing one of the worst atrocities to ever take place

The Holocaust

First to be killed in Nazi Germany… The sick, The senile The mentally retarded, The aged and The defective children. A lot of the info in today’s sermon comes from Focus on the Family.

The sick,

The senile

The mentally retarded,

The aged and

The defective children.

Then Epileptics, Children with badly modeled ears Blondes with blue eyes and even bed-wetters. Transportation of patients to killing centers was carried out by "The Charitable Transport Company for the Sick." The plan then was to kill all Jews and Poles and to cut down the Russian Population by 30,000,000.

Today’s Holocaust Abortion… Are Christians tempted to sing just a little louder to drown out the cries of the unborn? Are we tempted to put handkerchiefs to our noses so we don’t have to smell the stink in America?

Abortion…

Are Christians tempted to sing just a little louder to drown out the cries of the unborn?

Are we tempted to put handkerchiefs to our noses so we don’t have to smell the stink in America?

Genesis 1:26-27 (26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (27) So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Notice this… The Holocaust began with the idea that there is such a thing as a life not worth living… Many today will abort their baby because the baby may have something wrong with it…. They think the baby’s life is not worth living…

Only Man is crowned with glory and Honor Psalms 8:4-5 (4) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? (5) For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Practically this is rarely the case for an abortion,

Look at the following statistics…

The Alan Guttmacher Institute (the research arm of Planned Parenthood) states: * 1% are victims of incest or rape * 1% had fetal abnormalities * 4% had a doctor who said their health would worsen if they continued the pregnancy * 50% said they didn't want to be a single parent or they had problems in current relationships * 66% stated they could not afford a child *75% said the child would interfere with their lives. According to Planned Parenthood, The life of the mother is not even an option for abortion. http://eng.christianitydaily.com/advice/advice2.htm

C. Everett Koop, M.D., States that during his 35-plus years of practicing Medicine, (obstetrics) " Never once did a case come across my practice where abortion was necessary to save a mother's life." Again, I want to emphasize we are never to PLAY GOD!

Humans are Developed according to God’s plans… Psalms 139:13-15 NKJV (13) For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. (14) I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; [Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. (15) My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Even Medical Science declares it to be living… (Definitions of life from Science) Homeostasis: Regulation of the internal Temp. Organization: made up of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life. Metabolism: Consumption of energy by converting chemicals and energy into cellular components Growth: Adaptation: The ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment. 6. Response to stimuli: 7. Reproduction: The ability to produce new organisms. Also Heart starts beating from 18-21 days, Detectable brain waves from 40 days. Only the most ignorant state that the unborn is not alive…

God Loves Children and has a purpose for them. If they are not protected in the womb, how can they experience that love and purpose? Each of us have a purpose and God leaves us here until that purpose is fulfilled.
