Would you not guess that Trump's "Spiritual Advisor" would be a Blond. What Spirit is she supposed to move. Well, the advisor says, "it is clear that just because you are a refugee, you do not have to break the law, Jesus didn't." O, really? Which Law? The law for Jesus was a dual thing as the Roman Empire allowed the Local Jewish Hierarchy to deal with Civil Law. The Jewish law for forbade pretty much everything on the Sabbath and Jesus routinely broke the Jewish laws - there were a great many of those laws.
I suppose that the Evangelicals version of Jesus does not break the laws that they do not want him to break. Jesus, was very careful not to challenge directly the Roman Empire. It was not because he was afraid, but because Jesus was concerned about man's souls, not their political structures.
I am reminded of the song from Monty Python. Every Sperm is Sacred every Sperm is Great. When a Sperm is wasted God gets quite Irate.
Yeah there is that God of Wrath, but Jesus said was a God of Love. There is no wrath in God or Jesus. When Jesus tells us to live like Him, he did not mean to return to Rome of over 2000 years ago.
The decision about abortion is the business of the person bearing the child. I am a single man, so I will never need an abortion for me, but at one time someone I cared about did. I am opposed to killing human life, and a fetus is a human life, but I told this pregnant person that it was her decision. If she decided to have the child I would help her in every way I could to care for that child.
Having morals has consequences. If you are going to deny a person an abortion because of your morals, then those caring morals should extend for the next 18 to 21 years. Too many fundamentalist Christians have "no fault" morality. We are a neighbors keeper and also the keeper of their children regardless how they get here.
If every sperm is sacred, then every life that is produced by that Sperm is sacred. Yes is Life is sacred and we of Faith are required to honor that.
