I learned in Sunday School that you're held accountable for everything you've ever done, and everyone you've ever hurt. You can't escape your past, and that's what Judgement Day is all about - facing your past sins in front of God! <br /><br />Sins are certainly "back in our faces," now AND later. We're always accountable for what we've done, and the sins go on our permanent life record. Josh changed his life and the lives of everyone around him, forever. When he stands in front of God, there are no "past" sins. They are his sins, period. They go with him. Only after he is judged by God then will he know if he's been forgiven, or condemned. Until then, while he's on Earth, he's a sinner.

Adopting an older child or one with special needs usually has county subsidies to help ease the burden. Adopting an infant may mean you're paying for the medical costs of the biological mother, as it should be. You're also paying for attoney and agency fees. My husband and I adopted internationally. We paid for the services of our adoption agency here in the US and the one overseas. There were travel expenses that added up quickly. The INS also wanted their cut. Having said all this, there is help at tax time with the adoption credit which is quite sizeable. Hopefully, our government will continue this much needed benefit for adoptive parents. There is no conspiracy, as you suggest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-48748231329724379332019-04-15T19:25:35.458-05:002019-04-15T19:25:35.458-05:00Millionaires?

And the souls of those who perish unjustly are with HIM.<br /><br />God does not turn His back on anyone, but you are right abortions, and all violence, have been happening since the beginning of time. That is not God's doing. It is humanity's doing. God loves us, so He gave us free will to choose to do good or evil. Unfortunately, choosing evil sometimes involves hurting others. Rest assured though, that all who are murdered and harmed unjustly will one day be resting with the Lord. As for the perpetrators, we pray that they will see the error of their ways, because Jesus is always there to forgive them and welcome them home with open arms.

God does give us free will, because He loves us; however, some things are more pleasing to Him than others.<br /><br />WE all have free will to choose what we want to do with our lives. We can ignore God and his commandments, and live only for ourselves. Or we can choose to follow God and know His plan for us( or His will for our life). By doing this, you are accepting that God knows you better than you know yourself, and you accept that He really does have a plan for each one of us. He knows our talents and gifts, because He gave them to us, and He knows how we would best be able to use our talents, and thus bring glory to Him.<br /><br />We state that we accept God's will for us when we recite the Lord's prayer "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.." <br /><br />God will also listen to our prayers, if we ask with a pure heart and with unselfish intentions; but sometimes the answer is No. I think that is also what Anon 6PM was alluding to.<br /><br />God Bless everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-57136434131893014592019-04-14T21:56:41.596-05:002019-04-14T21:56:41.596-05:00@8:00PM Rest assured that if the Duggars were her...@8:00PM Rest assured that if the Duggars were here, they'd be very involved in any discussion about abortion.

I predict that she'll have #6 in the spring of 2020, when she is closer to age 32, and after that, probably no more than three more in her lifetime. In short, I don't think that she'll have more than 8 or 9 children at the very most.<br /><br />Anon 3:04 is right. Women become less fertile as they age, or more correctly, their eggs become less fertile. Having a baby at age 44 almost never happens naturally (without artificial methods) Even Michelle (who is extremely fertile, and was hoping for more kids) had her last baby just three months after she turned 43. And that was a pretty rare incident.<br /><br />Also Michelle was way ahead of Anna when she was her age. She had babies #10 and 11 (Jer and Jem) three months after she turned 32.<br /><br />Seven more babies would be interesting, but probably won't happen.<br /><br />Kendra and Joe, however, could make it to ten or twelve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-56275330907450736252019-04-13T20:20:11.935-05:002019-04-13T20:20:11.935-05:0010:17, if he were a regular person than you would ...10:17, if he were a regular person than you would be correct, but Josh was a public figure who spoke at marriage conferences and worked for a very big Christian organization, not to mention the fact that he was on a tv show where he was living out a facade of being this great husband and criticized people for doing the very things that he himself was.

I’m not sure if these “many” doctors are all religious fundamentalists but I would like to assure you there are health conditions whereby a mother would most like die if pregnancy were carried to full term. The case I mention in my previous post was one such instance. The young girl in question suffered from a condition called Patent Ductus Arteriosus (a congenital heart defect). This defect had in turn caused the condition of Eisenmenger Syndrome, This condition is one in which women are told not to ever get pregnant. The young girl I mentioned didn’t have any say in the repeated rape she was subjected to, didn’t understand about pregnancy & couldn’t even cope with her monthly cycle due to having the mental age of a 4 year old. Therefore this poor child would never have known she shouldn’t have got pregnant & at the time her family was considering sterilisation when the child turned 18, however she was pregnant well before then because a male relative took complete advantage of her mental capacity. Not only was the mother’s health at serious risk but the foetus suffered with a condition that is incompatible with life. In this case are you saying this 13 year old girl should have had her own life put at risk to deliver a baby that would either be born dead or died within hours of birth ? I can’t imagine god would have wanted this poor girl, still a child herself, to have gone through such a pregnancy.

It sounds as if it's your information that's coming from biased sources.<br /><br />Look up what can happen with severe preeclampsia before term, how it can shut down a mother's vital organs and kill her and the baby. There's also premature membrane rupturing, fetal death, placental separation, severe chromosomal defects, maternal cardiovascular problems, renal disease, infection, cancer... Those are just a few things that can happen to a pregnant woman. All of those and more can result in non-viable fetuses (adoption is not an option) or maternal death if the pregnancies are not terminated.<br /><br />Please don't continue the myth that abortion is done only out of convenience.
