We Call Him "Terrorist"

This man cuts off the head of a hostage and is rightfully condemned as the epitome of wickedness.  We think of him as evil to the core. We call on the government to bring justice to this murderer.  We know that we cannot tolerate this kind of evil in the world.  He must be stopped and we will spare no expense to make sure that he doesn't kill again.  We call him "terrorist".

This man cuts off the heads of hundreds of unborn babies with no real condemnation.  Some think of him as a champion of women's rights.  Others choose to ignore him, pretending that he doesn't exist.  To some he is not really bad, just misguided. Perhaps he has the wrong priorities but is generally a decent person. We tolerate his decapitation of innocent babies and don't spend too much time or energy trying to stop him. We call him "doctor".

Why Couldn't Esau Repent?

What a terrible thing to want to repent and not be allowed to.  Why would God withhold repentance from Esau who was obviously broken in spirit?  Unfortunately for Esau, that seems to be what Hebrews 12:17 is saying.  Here’s the verse in its immediate context: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.  For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.  Heb. 12:15-17 (KJV) You are probably familiar with the story from Genesis chapter 25.  Esau, the firstborn, returns from an exhausting day in the field and is hungry.  He asks for some of Jacob’s stew and Jacob offers to sell a bowl of stew to Esau in exchange for Esau’s birthrigh...

Justification

Job asked, " ...how can a person be justified before God? " Job 9:2 (HCSB) .  Could there be any question of greater importance?  I'm a champion at justifying myself by comparing myself to others.  How many times have I said, "I'm not perfect but at least I don't act like so-and-so!"  But God doesn't compare my righteousness with that of others, He compares it to His own.  The Bible says that it is God to whom I must one day give an account.   Hebrews 4:13   So the question is not "Am I more righteous than my neighbor?" but rather "How can I be righteous enough for God?" The Bible clearly says that I am a sinner and in need of righteousness.   Rom. 3:23   Rom. 3:10   Furthermore, God is holy and has no fellowship with sinners.  The Bible describes this holiness as being like light and sin being like darkness. Now this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light,   and there is absolutely no d...

Will Artificial Intelligence Destroy Mankind? Stephen Hawking Thinks It Could Happen

courtesy of freeimages.com A recent Fox news article ( read article here ) reported that physicist Stephen Hawking is worried about the development of artificial intelligence, or AI for short. [1]   Hawking is apparently worried that if advances in AI continue the human race could one day become extinct.  He is quoted as saying, "The development of full artificial intelligence (AI) could spell the end of the human race."    The article also quotes Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors.  Musk is said to have told an audience at MIT that we need to be "very careful" with artificial intelligence.  Fox reports that Musk "called for national and international oversight of the field". The idea of machines becoming more advanced than humans is great science fiction.  It is fun and somewhat scary to contemplate the ramifications of machines being able to think for themselves.  But will AI be the end of mankind?  Not if you believe Bib...
