Puritan Board Freshman
RC's, Muslims, homosexuals or whomever all have their own sense of justice, law, life and (maybe) redemption. Murder is on the books and well defined in most places (so far as I am aware). Abortion is not well defined in society and so anything short of God's justice would be unsatisfactory and anything short of God's gospel would leave souls lost. In another sense I don't think it would be wise to associate with Babylonians when building a tower - we seek God's standards and delight in them. Only the Christian can offer a gospel of hope to the sinner but the RC's are much like wolves dressed as sheep. They proclaim to be the true church and offer a gospel but lack the true gospel. Do the ends (ending abortion) justify the means (allowing the issue and gospel to be confused by working with RC's)? Also, we shouldn't down play the fact that the RC's do actively try to convert those participating in the abortions to RC. How can we be unified with them as they preach a gospel of infused righteousness that cannot save? Would not this house fall? Their message is steeped in RC tradition in the way they plan activities, vigils, protests, marches, evangelism, prayer, legislation, etc.Cannot Christians participate with Roman Catholics (or Muslims, homosexuals or whomever) to stop a serial killer on the prowl or stop gang violence? My point is gang violence and serial killing (of born people) are illegal and yet it doesn't seem to give most Reformed folk pause if stopping these atrocities involves co-belligerence with _____. What makes abortion different- that it is currently legal?
