Will Nelson cave on abortion: health care bill
By Grant Swank
Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson says he won't vote for the "health care" bill if it has any support for killing womb babies.
Will he cave?
If he's an opportunistic politician, of which they are legion, then we do not know if we can trust him.
If he's a totally committed biblical believer, no matter what the politics, his allegiance to God's Word will not waver.
Time will tell.
It is fascinating that abortion is such a critical issue regarding the "health care" bill. It is that issue that says whether or not the United States will become the murdering country for which tax moneys will pay.
Will citizens' wallets be Marxist Muslim Obama forced to pay for daily, ongoing slaughtering the innocent unborn?
Hopefully, Nelson sees it just that clearly. If he does, he will have the prayerful support of biblical believers worldwide. It appears at present that he can be counted in their number.
Genuine Christians will join in intercessory prayer that Nelson's convictions will hold fast, never yielding to compromise for any reason.
May he be thoroughly aware that his decisions on every matter will come before him at the Judgment Seat of Christ. What he does and says now will confront him at that Judgment.
If the future standing before the Great White Light of Truth is paramount in his conscience, then he will discard any toying with the pro-life decision. He will answer now to the biblical truths, knowing that the "now" will be very much a powerful quotient in his "then."
Nelson, Roman Catholic, is very much aware of the countless pew-sitters who claim to be Catholic while in turn writing their liberal theologies. Nancy Pelosi, being one, stands in sharp contrast to the Nelsons in political life.
Pelosi scribes her own "holy writ," blessing it as eternal verity. For this, she will stand shamefully before Christ at her death.
If Nelson is totally aware of his own soul's worth in the light of eternity, he will maintain his stand against eliminating boys and girls in females' wombs.
Canon Law Regarding Catholics and Abortion:
"Canon Law 1398 Catholics who have obtained an abortion, or performed an abortion, have excommunicated themselves latae sententiae (automatically by their very action) from the Catholic Church. They remain outside the church until the reception of the sacrament of Penance through a good confession.
"Canon Law 1329 Catholics who are accomplices in enabling and permitting the crime of abortion to occur, who without their assistance the crime would not have been committed, incur the same penalty.
"Canon Law 915 (an exception to receiving Holy Communion) "Others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

God who will render to every man according to his deed: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immorality, eternal life; But unto them that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honor and peace to every man that worked good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God.
