Did you not just paint me with a conservative brush?
I try very hard to not "paint" anyone. I want your words to show me your motive. I want your motive to show me who you are.
I am not liberal nor am I conservative in the ideological sense that these terms have morphed into today.
I am a Christian; therefore my world views are defined by the commandments given to us by God; the gospel of Jesus Christ; and the teachings of his disciples and apostles.
Jesus Christ is King. I am his subject; his sheep; his bond servant. What he wants is what I want - even if I am incapable of reflecting his will through my own life at times, due to my own sinful nature.
If a woman came to me and told me that she had traveled out of state to get an abortion; I would do my best to explain the nature of her sin and the seriousness of the situation. I would make sure she knows that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. I would then offer to pray with her.
I would not disclose her actions or our conversation to anyone; the one and only exception being her husband if she is married or her father if she is a minor.
So there you go, asked and answered.
1 Corinthians 13
The Excellence of Love
13 If I speak with the tongues of mankind and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give away all my possessions to charity, and if I surrender my body so that I may [a]glory, but do not have love, it does me no good.
4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. 5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, 6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it [b]keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of [c]prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we know in part and prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I [d]became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror [e]dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known. 13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the [f]greatest of these is love.
The Excellence of Love - If I speak with the tongues of mankind and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love...
