Bravo! Bravo! Andrea Bocelli

A great pro-life testemony from Andrea Bocelli and a second video; a repeat from a couple of years ago.

The Word Is The Word, No Matter How We Distort Him

I suppose I should clarify the title of this article. Yes, "The Word" is a Him. The Word is the second person of the Trinity, that is Jesus. Here the apostle John explains in John 1:1-5 and 14-17:

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " 16From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Often times Christians refer to the Word of God, that is the Bible, as "The Word". This is also an acceptable use of the term "The Word" because Christians believe that the words in the Bible are a direct revelation from God.

Then I cam upon this video and I wanted to cry. She is talking to a Catholic organization, being a professing Catholic herself. Her speech is dealing with how her agenda, now the agenda of the majority in positions of power in Congress and the administration, is what Jesus would want.

I will not cast judgment for I am as guilty as she is. Just how one's thinking can be bent so far away from God, yet convince yourself it is true, is beyond me. This is a woman who supports all methods of abortion, even late term partial birth abortion. And that's only one of many. But listen to her, can you see it? Read Matthew 7:15-23, it's titled "A Tree and It's Fruit". Absolutely one of the scariest passages in the Bible, and it's aimed at all those who say they follow Christ.
