@NaijaFlyingDr No! In an attempt the sever the connection between mother and child, you would be introducing an unbreakable disconnect in the natural process of birth. And what’s worse is that people want this so they can…go to work? Deplorable.

I decided to organize the box of my Presbyterian Grandfathers hand-written and typed sermons into the decades they were originally preached. I’ve learned so much about him. He died when I was 11, and I never had the chance to discuss theology. And yet, we are talking now.

Baptism is necessary for salvation like it was necessary for the Hebrews to actually walk through the red sea. Not one would have wondered how their faith split the red sea in two. Not one believed that by their own power, salvation was being accomplished.

No amount of private devotion to Jesus can survive the lack of Sunday worship. If you want a quick path towards shipwrecking a faith, look no further than absence on Sunday morning. It is the source of a great many errors and breeds nothing but discontent.

I believe that every Protestant should celebrate (not simply commemorate) the Reformation. It was nowhere near perfect, but the passion and belief that the word of God should be made available to the masses, as a means of promoting their own happiness (Luther) is glorious.

Nearly every excuse for aborting the fetus (rape, incest, etc) cannot be applied to the newly born child, since we consider him or her a life. Therefore, the only serious question is this: is the baby in the womb a life, worthy of protection and dignity?

If you tell a child that they don’t have to go to church because they are tired, but must go to school because they have to eventually join the wider society, then you imply that there are more important authorities that kids need than God, and more important needs than prayer.
