Motive Discovered in Death of Cecil the Lion




Breaking News...

The investigation into the tragic death of Cecil the Lion, the beloved male lion from Zimbabwe, has recently taken a decisive turn.  Investigators have uncovered a possible motive for the senseless murder of the iconic cat.  Initial clues led detectives to one suspect, American dentist Walter Palmer.  Police are sure they have the right man.  Palmer's confession to the crime has all but made their case for them.  Police already knew that the murdering dentist fit the profile of an extremist; white, rich, gun-toting.  What had not been determined with certainty was the motive behind Palmer's barbaric act.  That is until investigators received an anonymous tip about the murdered lion's progressive ideology.  Park ranger Pete "PETA" Perkins reported to police that he had received a mysterious phone call from an informant who wished to remain anonymous.  The caller's tip led investigators to search the lion's Facebook page. What they found took the investigation to a whole new level.  The victim's social media account revealed clues that helped detectives put together a motive for the dentist's barbaric act of butchering the defenseless lion.  Amid the usual photos of the lion's pride and harem of lionesses, detectives found a few photos of lion cubs.  Cecil was apparently an affectionate father.  They also discovered another set of photos in an album entitled "pro-choice".  This album contained photos of Cecil terminating unwanted lion cubs.  According to those who knew him, Cecil was a pro-choice advocate who volunteered his time to promote a lion's right to choose whether to let baby lions live or not.  Terminating cubs is a valued part of reproductive rights in the enlightened world of big cats.  Often a male lion like Cecil will terminate unwanted cubs by crushing their heads or severing their spinal cords.  Lions recognize a lion's right to choose and say that if lion infanticide was outlawed then desperate lions would be forced to kill their unwanted cubs in savanna  alleyways under unsanitary conditions. Investigators feel that Cecil's pro-choice stance put him in the crosshairs  of the extremist dentist.  With a solid motive now in place, prosecutors are sure that Dr. Palmer will be convicted and justice will be served.  Pro-choice lions all over the world are watching anxiously for the outcome of the investigation.

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...

The Lord's Supper and Eating Unworthily

By far the most popular passage in Baptist churches concerning observing the Lord's Supper is 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.  A particular focus has been placed on verses 27-31 quoted below from the King James Version that many of us grew up with. 27  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (1 Cor. 11:27-31 KJV) photo courtesy of www.freeimages.com Pastors often point to these verses as a warning to would be participants in the ordinance that they should first examine themselves so that they don't partake unworthily ...

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...
