"His justice cannot sleep forever"because he was appalled by the evil of
American slavery. We thank God that this evil has been abolished in the western
world. Jack.
But Jesus never spoke against slavery . Most slaves in America were worse of
after being freed ..
The early Christians had slaves, but were freed under Christian conditions
which ensured they became better off. ie like being fed to the lions and
things. Modern Christians never can understand what I just stated about being
better off by being martyred..

"His justice cannot
sleep forever"
Thomas Jefferson said:
"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that
His justice cannot sleep forever."
Notes on the State of Virginia, 1853, page 174-175
Jefferson said this because he was appalled by the evil of
American slavery. We thank God that this evil has been abolished in the western
world. But gross inhumanity continues today. If William Wilberforce were alive
now, many believe that the campaigner would turn his attention to fighting
abortion.
In 1837, four years after the abolition of slavery, Parliament
toughened up the law on abortion. It legislated to require that all abortions
be considered as murder, no matter how far developed the foetus. Previously,
although all abortion was illegal, the crime of murder only applied to
"quickened" babies - those beyond 16 weeks' gestation.
In 1967 abortion was formally legalised for the first time since
the Roman Empire. There are now 200,000 abortions in our country every year.
Some 98% of these abortions are for entirely social reasons. These are not
'hard cases' - there's no issue of the child being handicapped and no threat at
all to the mother's life. Social reasons account for the overwhelming bulk of
the 6.7 million abortions carried out since 1967.
At The Christian Institute, we believe that abortion, along with
destructive experiments on human embryos, is amongst the greatest sins of our
age. God is just and, as Jefferson observed, "His justice cannot sleep forever".
We thank God for the truly remarkable victory to protect Gospel
freedom that was won in recent days. Many Christians had made the issue of free
speech a matter for earnest prayer. The Lord has had mercy. Can I urge you to
pray also for the embryology Bill? The key votes are expected on Monday and
Tuesday next week, 19 and 20 May.
Please do join with us in praying:
a.. That God will have mercy on our land
b.. That MPs will receive influential letters from their
constituents
c.. That MPs will vote to restrict abortion and experiments on
human embryos
d.. That the truth will be heard in the media and in Parliament
Yours in Christ,
