Sluts
I was reading the “Message” Bible, Isaiah 57 to be exact, and came across an obviously politically incorrect reference to a promiscuous woman. I’m just going to put to paper a half dozen lines. The problem for me is, where do I stop? The Bible is chuck full of what God wants us to know. So, contemplate what grace means when you read these words.
But you, children of a witch, come here! Sons of a slut, daughters of a whore. What business do you have taunting, sneering, and sticking out your tongue? Do you have any idea what wretches you’ve turned out to be? A race of rebels, a generation of liars. You satisfy your lust any place you find some shade and fornicate at whim. You kill your children at any convenient spot. Deserting me, you’ve gone all out, stripped down and made your bed your place of worship.
A woman has every right to choose fornication instead of marriage, to kill their child, or become a mother, to serve God or serve the devil. Being Isaiah was written thousands of years ago, we learn that Solomon was right, there’s nothing new under the sun.
This is a constant theme in my writing. I’m sorry if you tire of it, but I know that I need a reminder once in a while and imagine most people do. Fornication and child-killing continue unabated. Yes, the numbers have come way down but there is still much to do. Teaching a culture that every life is sacred and valuable is needed if our nation is to be saved. It’s not enough to stop abortions; we must encourage and nurture those who take on the age-old responsibility of parenting.
He set before us life and death and suggests we choose life.
