Stop The Babies

Abortion and the death of America.

Genesis 1:28

God’s Very First Command—Way Before the Ten Commandments

I, as a Pastor, and as the Chaplain to the men and women inmates of the Jail for the Sheriff’s department of Mendocino County in Ukiah, California, must condemn the churches which spoke evil–wanting to enable abortions to be promoted in Iowa, as well as many other locations in the United States.  One week ago, the Des Moines Register reported that pastors from the United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church,  Evangelical Lutheran Church of America,  Episcopal Church, Unitarian Universalist Association, Christian Church-Disciples of Christ, and the Unity Church all signed onto a statement which supports Planned Parenthood and argues against funds, which go to Planned Parenthood, being redirected to clinics which provide comprehensive health care for low income women, but do not perform abortions.  Pastors must condemn these sources of evil within the Churches which claim Jesus as their head—shame!

Pastor Gerry Burney’s newest book, “Eden to Evil” provides the biblical reason humankind must stop abortion.  The Catholic Church has always tried to promote babies and avoid abortions, but the church has failed to provide people any meaningful reason besides:  “We say so!”  Yes, God says choose life, but people need to understand why we need babies to be born, which is the very first command of God (Genesis 1:28).   Eden to Evil exposes the answer hidden from mankind for thousands of years!

God commanded from the very first moment of the creation of mankind in this age we now find ourselves in that we have lots and lots of babies.  Most people are not aware of that command (Gen. 1:28).  Most people have been brought up to manage their relationship with the other sex so as to avoid so-called unwanted pregnancies.  We have been brought up to time and manage the number of children we want…or don’t want.  What is going on in our world where God’s Word says very clearly that we are to have lots of babies, and yet we hear every day about overpopulation, unwanted children, and family planning?  There must be a reason that God would want us to have lots of babies, and yet the world has taught us to avoid lots of babies.

To really understand the “why” we are supposed to have lots of babies, we need to understand when we were created, exactly how we fell (sinned against God), and why we must be born into this flesh existence here on this earth—there is a reason “why” we must be born.  The Bible has two creation stories in Genesis 1-3.  Today, most of the Christian community tries to blend these two accounts together into one story, and tries to fit the Eden account (in chapters 2-3), into day 6 of the 7 day account (in chapter 1).  This makes for a simple story, but it ignores God’s real story.   God makes the human problem very clear to us by giving us two creation accounts, which in many ways are exact opposites.  Some suggest that it is during day 6 that the events of Eden (Gen. 2-3), take place, where Adam is created, and then God creates plants in Eden.  However, in Genesis 2:5 (the Eden account), God tells us that there are no plants on earth when man is created, whereas on day 3 (the 7 Day account), God planted the earth before He created man.  God gives us two accounts of the creation, and deliberately makes them different (knowing that we humans often get it wrong), and God wants us to understand that we did, in fact, have a pre-existence with God prior to this life we now lead (Eph. 1:4-5, 11).  In another example of the differences between these two accounts, we read in the Eden account that man was created first—before plants and animals.  But, in the 7 day account, mankind is created last—after the plants and animals.  Still, we humans try and blend them into one single account.  There are also numerous other differences, and these are examined in great detail in the book “Eden to Evil”—Target Truth Ministries.com.

So, why two creations, and why are we to have lots of babies.  God has devised a plan to save those who will love Him.  This plan is necessary because we sinned against God (Gen. 3).  Because we chose to follow Satan, and deny God, we are condemned to separation from God (death).  It could just end here for us as sinners.  However, God loves each and every one of us (He created us).  So, God still wants to have a loving relationship with each of us, and He has set in motion a plan to restore that relationship—for all those who want it restored—for those who will love Jesus.  The plan calls for us to be separated for now (because we sinned), but also the plan allows for us to be restored back to a relationship with God if we show shame, and surrender to His ways—obey Him.  God’s plan recognizes that we must suffer death because of our sin (Gen. 2:16-17).  Death is separation from God—both physical, and spiritual.  We were created as physical beings, and God “breathed” into us life—that is, God gave us our spiritual nature also (Gen 2:7).  We have both a physical and a spiritual side.  Separation from God means both physically and spiritually.  God could have simply separated Himself from us when we chose to follow Satan instead of God (sent us all to hell—which is eternal separation and isolation).  But, God loves us and truly wants to reconcile with each of us—if we will repent (change), and follow Him.  There is a final judgment coming one day when God will finally separate Himself from all those who deny Him.  But, for now, each of us has been given an opportunity to restore our relationship with God, and be restored to Eden/Paradise once again—if we love Him.  In order to die both physically and spiritually, we must be separated from God, and also must assume a mortal (flesh), body which will die (our supernatural body in Eden is eternal—and could not die).  Adam and Eve are the examples in Genesis 2-3, as they were created to exist eternally with God in Paradise, but had to assume mortal flesh bodies—be separated—and face death, just as we do.  All this is accomplished by babies (each of us) being born into this world…a flesh mortal existence for a short period of time to make a decision to either accept Jesus, or deny Him.

Because we must be born into this world in a flesh body (to one day die physically—Heb. 9:27), God gives this command that we have lots of babies.  In other words, we humans are not to slow down, or interfere with God’s plan—births need to take place.  But, of course, Satan has another plan.  We are born into this world lost, and facing death, and separated from God.  Satan knows that we are his prisoners for the time being (Isa. 14:16-17), because this world is Satan’s domain for the time being.  We chose to follow Satan’s deception in Eden, and now God is giving us exactly what we chose—this world—separated from God—enjoying Satan’s domain (Job 1:7; Matt. 4:8-10; Luke 22:31-32; John 12:31; 2 Corin. 4:4; Eph. 2:2; 1 John 4:4).  And, Satan does not want us to escape from his prison (Isa. 14:16-17).  Satan also does not want us to obey God’s command to have babies, because if we don’t have babies, God’s plan is disrupted—people cannot be saved unless born of flesh.  From the very beginning, God promised that He would provide a Savior (Jesus), to cover our sins—to pay the price that we ourselves cannot pay—a perfect sacrifice from a perfect human to cover our sin against a perfect, eternal, uncreated God (Gen. 3:15).  Only God can pay the sacrifice needed for our salvation, and He did just that when He chose to leave heaven and indwell the perfectly created body of Jesus, the human (Philip. 2:5-8; John 1:1-18, 6:33,38; Heb. 2:9; Col. 2:8-9).

Satan used all means at his disposal to cause Jesus to never be born, and to cause us never to be born—stop the babies!  Satan tried to destroy the human population at the very beginning, and God brought on the flood to destroy the human population which had been corrupted genetically by the fallen angels (Gen. 6:1-4—see the book “Eden to Evil”).   God had to destroy the “mankind” (Gen. 6:7), because the human population had actually become a “hybrid mankind”—genetically altered—not capable of birthing human babies..  Only Noah was “perfect” in his generations (blood line—Gen. 6:9).  Noah’s bloodline was perfect, not corrupted by Satan (Gen. 6:9—the King James says “perfect in his generations” and the NAS says blameless in his time—the Hebrew is “without blemish in his bloodline”).  Satan had an evil plan to destroy God’s plan to save people with the birth of Jesus to humans.  No human birth—no Jesus.  God’s plan succeeded, and today, Jesus is here—He was born—and He sacrificed Himself to pay for our sin—and He rose from death, and lives now.

Still, each of the fallen host of Paradise must be born into this world in order to be saved.  Satan, today, is using various methods of trying to stop people from having babies.  No babies—no salvation.  About one-third of the host of heaven fell (Rev. 12:1-4—see Study “Satan’s Deception” at Target Truth Ministries.com).  And, no new beings are being created anymore (Gen. 2:1).  This means the number of the host of heaven is fixed, and God knows exactly what this certain number of us is who have fallen and need to be born into this world (Satan’s domain), for the purpose of salvation—to be restored back to God (Rom. 11:25; Luke 21:24; Acts 17:31—until the “times of the gentiles” are fulfilled).  Satan wants to stop the process…stop God’s plan.  Stop the babies!

Satan employs various methods to dissuade us from following God’s plan of bringing babies into the world.  Abortion is one means.  Abortion is not just a modern day issue.  Archaeologists have discovered that during Manasseh’s time (a king from Israel, which we read of in 2 Chron. 33:1-20), among the various ways the people sacrificed to the false gods (in order to think they may have a better life), was not only to burn children as an offering (verse 6 of the text), but also to perform abortions.  It was the way of the world, not God’s way.  During the time of Manasseh, the archaeologists have discovered walls in homes in which there were jars buried (set into the walls).  A family would build a house with brick and stone walls, and, in order to insure a good life for the man and the woman, a baby was aborted, and placed in a jar, and the jar was placed in the wall of the home.  This sacrifice was to grant the man and woman of the house a better life.  They called the walls “Living Walls.”   God tells us in Habakkuk 2:11-12, that only trouble will result for those who build their lives on the blood of others.

Back then, as now, the sacrifice is the same — a baby dies.  Back then, as now, the purpose is the same — to have a “better” life.  In Manasseh’s time, the sacrifice was to some false god (an appeasement to that false god), so that this god might enrich their life.  Today, the sacrifice is to appease us.  In effect, we, ourselves, have become the god that is appeased, so that financially (or, for whatever reason), our life can be materially richer.

History also records other references to the killing of babies.  Around A.D. 175, Athenagoras wrote: “We say that those women who use drugs to bring on abortion commit murder.  And we also say they will have to give an account to God for the abortion.”  In A.D. 195, Clement of Alexandria complained that some people have more respect for birds than for babies.  Terrullian, likewise in A.D. 197 wrote: “In our case, murder is once for all forbidden.  Therefore, we may not destroy even the fetus in the womb…it does not matter whether you take away a life that has been born, or destroy one that is not yet born.”  Hippolytus around A.D. 225 indicates that even professing Christians were trying to make themselves sterile, or trying to produce a miscarriage.  “Women who were reputed believers began to resort to drugs for producing sterility.  They also girded themselves around, so as to expel what was being conceived.  For they did not wish to have a child…out of concern for their family, and their excessive wealth.”

Another way Satan tries to disrupt God’s plan of having babies is to redirect our attention away from marriage between a man and a woman (the purpose of which is to have babies), and to invite us to embrace homosexual unions—no babies.  This also is not just a modern day issue.  Cultures from around the world have embraced homosexuality going back into antiquity.  Obviously, Satan is pleased with the results—fewer babies.  And, of course, going all the way back to the very beginning, Satan sent his angels to procreate with women (another perversion of one man one woman), to produce the “giants” or “Nephilim” mentioned above (Genesis 6—see book “Eden to Evil)—all in the effort to destroy true human births.

Another way Satan tries to take our attention away from having babies is by creating the false “crisis” of humans destroying the environment and the planet.  If we could only get rid, or reduce, the number of humans, we could save the earth—so the argument goes.  There is no doubt that we humans are to protect and enhance the environment in any way we can.  But, this does not include reducing babies being born (Gen. 1:27-31).  God is very clear that we are to have babies and protect the environment both at the same time—not one over the other.  But, Satan has led us to worship the environment at the expense of babies.  Here again, protecting mother earth is not a new argument.  The worship of the earth goes back to the beginning also—beginning with Nimrod, the grandson of Noah, right after the flood.  Back then the earth was elevated to god-like status.  In the Sumerian (Babylonian – Eastern), mythology, the origin of the whole universe was due to Nammu, the water goddess.  From her waters was birthed all we see, including all the male gods.  This is an imitation of God’s creation where the “waters” were divided (Gen. 1:6-8).  One of these births was to the moon goddess Sin.  In Mesopotamia, the female goddess figure was dominate, until animal husbandry and domestication later became established, and only then, did the male god figure begin to dominate in some cultures.  But, in Mesopotamia, where Abraham came from (Gen. 12), the pagan male gods were still servants to the Mother Goddess of all creation. The Mother Goddess was considered unmarried, and in some locations, a virgin.  It was the re-productive power of the earth which was associated with the Mother Goddess (Mother Earth), and which was of paramount importance in agricultural life in the ancient world (see the book “Science, Origins, & Ancient Civilizations—Scientific Evidence Withheld from School Textbooks” –Target Truth Ministries.com).

This worship of the earth and the environment still exists today in a very large way.  Even the United Nations are involved in earth consciousness.  Today it is called “Gaia” worship, or worship of the ancient Greek Goddess of the Earth (Gaia).  A major emphasis of this movement is to reduce the birth rates and the overall population of the earth.  Babies are seen as a threat to the earth and environment.  Satan has succeeded in convincing most of the world’s nations that we need to halt the birth of babies—even going so far as to encourage sterilization, encourage the use of contraception devices (some of which actually do cause abortion of the fertilized egg), and legalizing public taxpayer supported abortions to achieve the world’s goals of population reduction.  What did God say?  Genesis 1:27-28!
