Love That God Condone

Tell me not of a woman's right to choose,
Unless God alters the Ten set in stone;
"You shall not murder," we cannot abuse,
If God's good will our nation hopes to own.
No leave is given for unmarried state;
Or folly of adding new mouths to drain
A larder too meager hunger to slake.
If not his spouse, God asks both to refrain.
Does He ask too much of the human race,
That men and women keep their bodies chaste,
Reserving for one's spouse the nude embrace,
Those two alone enjoy the private taste?
If life results from love that God condone,
That life is guarded, not in the trash thrown.

What has become of marriage and the family in America? Its decline is matched by the increase in abortions; that upsurge is marked by prolific extramarital sex. When the Bible speaks of wickedness, it is most often referring to unrestrained lust or the killing of infants.

"But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:2)

The Bible teaches that sexual relations should be reserved for husband and wife only. Sex outside of marriage is sinful, and men are as guilty, if not more so, than women. Of course, God forgives, even up to many times. But he or she who seeks the forgiveness of God, in order to obtain it, must be truly repentant (meaning, to be sorry enough not to repeat it without rigorous effort).

When there is copulation between male and female, there is a chance that a new life will be created by God in the womb of the female. The more copulation outside of marriage means there will be more lives begun, and more of these lives will be unwanted. That is happening in America today, resulting in the abortion of an estimated 4000 babies every day. God hates sin; He hates lust more than most, and He hates the killing of infants most of all. When will America realize that God is angry with us, and we must stop aborting babies or face punishment for it? We grieve when an American soldier is killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. How many shed tears for the unborn children who die?
