To me the really interesting thing in the Bible passage to which you allude is the way in which both groups–both the sheep and the goats–are genuinely surprised when Jesus tells them “you did this, that, and t’other” or “you didn’t do this, that, or t’other”. Do you believe there will be a 3rd group there, not mentioned by Jesus, who won’t be at all surprised–who will be saying something like “Well I already *knew* that when I was doing these things, I was doing it for you, Jesus, and I already knew those evil people over there were not doing these things for you Jesus. In fact, *that* couple right there–they murdered you in the womb, Jesus–I saw the video on RYF.”?

It’s also interesting to me that you extrapolate quite so far from the text. In the list of actions of the goats, for which they will be cast out into eternal fire, there are *only* items they *didn’t* do, no “bad” actions they *did* do–it’s a list of sins of omission, rather than commission, as it were. And it doesn’t mention anything remotely like terminating pregnancy.

Do you regularly do the things the sheep did, in this story–feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, inviting strangers into your home, and visiting those who are in hospital and prison? I must confess I haven’t done much of any of these things lately–I sort of do my little token charity with our beautiful little World Vision girl in Gaza–sending off our check every month–and this, while certainly very significant, doesn’t really seem to me to be the sort of thing Jesus was referring to. I mean *I’d* be pretty surprised if he said that nice thing to me, like he said to the sheep.

And again, your caught up on the fact that this family had an abortion. Can you look past that for one minuet?

Jesus call us to love. They acted out of love. Christa is acting out of love. God loves us regardless of our sins or our choices. That’s what makes his love unconditional, and I’m sure you know this. God meets you where you are at, and he works with you, as long as you are willing to trust him. Christa trusted him by loving her friends regardless of their choices and her personal beliefs. That’s all God what.

You can call my “argument” weak if you want to, I could really care less. God Bless.

Just out of curiosity–do you believe you also killed Jesus? I mean is it a kind of “everyone killed Jesus” thing? Or is it more specific than that?

Does the U.S. armed forces get credit for killing Jesus for all the times unborn babies in Iraq have died due to screwed up infrastructure since the U.S. invasion? I’m genuinely curious if you believe that also? Or where does that “killed Jesus” thing stop?

If you failed to speak out strongly against the invasion of Iraq, does that qualify you as having killed Jesus?

All sounds a bit macabre to me.

Honestly, I feel like you are a little too caught up on making the situation Black and white. You need to realized that everything we go through have shades of gray. People do things for a reason, and as another human being that has been giving the gift of chose, I choose to respect whatever decision they make. That is true love.
