[QUOTE="AlexDTX, post: 74325729, member: 377834"] None of us are truly pro-life. I am speaking from a Christian point of view. When God gave Adam dominion over the Earth, it was before the Fall of Mankind. All of us are still trapped in the "After the Fall" mindset of dominion. Jesus told us that we are not to lord over others as the Gentiles do, yet the pulpit has many (not all) who see themselves (subconsciously) as "lords" over the flock, although consciously they call themselves "shepherds". We all use death to our advantage. If a bug flies in the house, we kill it. We eat animal flesh slaughtered by someone else so we don't have to deal with the cognitive dissonance. We entrust the defense of our country to other men and women trained to kill others on our behalf. I often wonder how God intended Adam to have dominion over the Earth before the Fall of Mankind? The answer is seen in Christ who has given us his authority, but few of us actually know how to use it. Jesus spoke to the storm and told it to cease. Jesus cast out demons in those deemed insane. Jesus fed the thousands by blessing the bread and multiplying it. I believe no baby should be killed in the womb. But I also believe no baby should be formed out of wedlock. It is clear to me that the reason the majority of Christians do not walk in the power of God is because, we, too, lack self control. [/QUOTE]
