No.18. INVADED BY A CULTURE OF DEATH.

After a Prison term the late Chuck Colson was ministering in prisons all over the world.
Notes from C. Colson pps 120 -126.

Abortion has always been about more than abortion.
It is the wedge used by the so-called progressives to open the Historic Commitment in western Civilisation to the dignity of human life.

The western world world has moved from abortion to infanticide.
Handicapped infants are quite routinely allowed to die.. A poll in 1975 revealed that 77 % of paediatric surgeons favoured withholding food and treatment in the case of defective babies.
My own daughter was encouraged to abort what they said was a defective fetus. Her and her husband refused to allow it. That young girl is now top of her high school class in English and has received repeated academic awards at her High School in Sydney.

Fancy stating that aborting babies has 'an important and positive public health effect". The words of the AMA head and later surgeon general of the USA. It is seen as an important means of improving the species.  The Down's Syndrome children seem to be especially targeted. If the birth parents cannot cope with these children then there is a waiting list of people willing to adopt these children, many of whom are only slightly retarded. They are now advocating euthanizing all children with birth defects saying that the planet is overcrowded. Anyway babies are only just gene carriers and that it is easy to get rid of them before they bond with their mothers. The emotional 'circuitry' of the mothers is what is involved here. Pinker in the USA says 'that infanticide is built into our biological design,' and we cannot blame people for doing it. They treat these babies as non-persons who can easily be discarded. However the problem of abortion cannot be dismissed so easily as the stats tell us that many, many mothers of the aborted have serious mental health issues.

 The baby in the womb having been reduced to the status of a 'non-person' is then demonised in pro-choice literature as a hostile aggressor against the mother, and abortion is dressed up as self defence.
'A fetus massively intrudes on a woman's body and expropriates her liberty', adds a University professor in the USA. They argue that a fetus is a dangerous and violent intruder and needs deadly force to repel it. Truly abortion, infanticide and euthanasia are all parts of the one package. Now they are advocating in Queensland even partial birth abortion which is a barbaric operation similar to offerings to the god, Moloch, in the old Testament.
In the end all these issues hinge on the way we cherish human life. If human nature bears the stamp of the Divine Maker, then life is infinitely precious. A Christian is not morally obligated to sustain life by all means and at all costs. Many Christians believe that it is morally acceptable to withdraw life support when technology is merely sustaining life artificially. This is completely different to hastening death for the wish or whim of somebody. This will open a Pandora's box.

No.9. How did the whole Universe Begin?

Notes from Colson p.57 -67 Scientists  have completely reversed their theories in the past few decades. They thought for ages that the Physical Universe was eternal and therefore needs no 'creator'. Now they postulate that the universe did have an ultimate origin and that it began at a finite time in the past - just as the Bible teaches. Many ancient cultures believed that the material from which the Universe came was eternal. However, today "the indestructibility or permanence of matter" is a scientific fact" wrote a 19th Century proponent of materialism. For many years that is how things stood. Any thought of a Creator and the earth having a beginning was just bare religious faith standing in lonely opposition to established science. Now in the 20th Century several sources of new evidence appeared : the implications from general relativity theory that the Universe is expanding; that some stars exhibit "red shift", implying that they are moving out...

No.10. The Birth of the Universe (cont.)

Notes from CREATION Magazine. Big Bang Universe by Jonathan Safati. The Currently leading Cosmogony (Gk. "birth of the universe") is the big bang theory.  This basically says, ' Nothing exploded and became everything'. One part of this energy became matter as per the famous Einstein formula E=mc2. However, when this occurs, the standard laws of Particle Physics state that    an equal amount of matter and antimatter must be produced.    Yet our universe comprises overwhelmingly of matter, with only rare and fleetingly short-lived antimatter particles, produced for example in experimental high energy collisions.  These are of the same mass but opposite charge (if the particle is charged) and magnetic moment as the corresponding matter particle . They soon interact and are mutually annihilated - anti-electron with an electron, anti-proton with proton, anti-neutron with neutron etc. How did matter survive annihilation from an equal amount of anti-matter....

No.26. The Problem of a Good GOD and the Presence of EVIL (cont.)

Notes Taken from Colson and Pearcey pps 209 and 210  #2      Deny that suffering and evil even exist.   Some people try to solve the problem of evil and suffering on earth saying they are merely illusions created by their own minds. Christian Science Monitor                              At Christian Scientists' meeting,  This is the strategy adopted by Christian Science and by some Eastern religions. Hinduism say that the physical universe is all an Illusion (maya) and that suffering of the body is just a misconception of the MIND. If we just train ourselves to think correctly, we can overcome all suffering through realising it does not exist. [Maya]  According to many schools of Hinduism , the world is an illusion, a play of the supreme consciousness of God. It is a projection of things and forms that are temporarily phenomenal and sustain the illusion of onen...
