Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Justin Peters. I hope that you and your family are doing well today I want to thank you very much for joining me
00:08
Are you is weary of all of the election coverage as am I I certainly am it has just been
00:15
You know nothing but wall -to -wall election coverage and politics and pundits and all this stuff and I For one will be glad when it's all over you would think that there's absolutely nothing else going on in the world
00:28
Other than the United States presidential election So I'll be glad when when it's all over whatever ends up happening
00:36
But I want to do this video and I believe that it's an important video and I want to share with you some of my thoughts on the election and Specifically What we are hearing from some evangelicals saying that they can vote for neither
00:54
Donald Trump nor Joe Biden and I want to let you know For whom
00:59
I am voting and some of the reasons why I am voting for him And it probably comes as no surprise.
01:06
I am voting for Donald J. Trump. I voted for him in 2016 and I did so without any hesitation,
01:17
I thought he was Honestly, he was not my first candidate, you know when it was the primary season four years ago
01:25
Donald Trump was not my first Candidate he's not the guy that I wanted to get the nomination, but he did get the nomination and so I voted for him and I Kind of had the feeling that he was going to do
01:38
What he said he was going to do the promises that he made I kind of figured he would he would fulfill those promises
01:45
Or at least try to and he has done so in fact, he is exceeded in many ways
01:51
My own expectations and so I voted for him four years ago. I'm going to vote for him again
01:56
In fact, I already have voted for him And I've done so Enthusiastically and I want to share with you why
02:03
I'm doing that and also to respond to some of the arguments That some prominent evangelicals whatever that term means anymore
02:12
Are making today in which they say they cannot in good conscience vote for Donald Trump And I just want to bring some simplicity and clarity to this discussion if I may
02:24
Now we can have differences of opinion on any number of issues, you know economic issues
02:31
You can have a different approach to economic issues or foreign policy issues. Although quite frankly
02:36
I mean, I have a an undergraduate degree in economics and It doesn't you don't have to be an economist to realize that if you raise taxes and increase regulation that That's gonna throw a wet blanket on the economy and it does and the reason that the economy was roaring the way it was before the pandemic hit
02:59
Is because Donald Trump lowered taxes and he he not only cut regulation
03:06
In fact, you might remember he said that he was gonna for every one new regulation. He was gonna cut two
03:11
I think now the what he actually has done for every new regulation. I think he's cut 15 or 16 and that is just Unleashed the economic engine in the
03:21
United States of America, of course all that came to a screeching halt with kovat 19 Pandemic and the lockdowns and all that stuff and foreign policy, you know
03:30
But you know, it's it's the economy you have differences of opinion. You have differences opinion on foreign policy
03:36
I don't think the Democratic part foreign policy makes any sense. I don't think that Appeasing rogue nations like Iran and North Korea help anything
03:47
I don't think sending a pallet of whatever it was a hundred billion dollars in cash to to the ayatollahs in Iran Helped very much but any rate those issues are real but Here's what it comes down to Fundamentally as a thinking
04:07
Bible -believing Christian, I do not see how the case could possibly be made to vote for Joe Biden and I would also say that I do not think there can be a case made to Vote for a third party because voting for a third party is
04:28
Throwing your vote away. It's a wasted vote You know if you write in some person that you think would do a better job than either one of them
04:37
They have no chance of winning a write -in third party candidate has zero chance of winning
04:43
I mean you may as well vote for Mickey Mouse He's not gonna win. So it's a it's a wasted vote may as well not even go to the polls
04:51
It's it's a wasted vote Now, I know some people may disagree with me on that, but that's my opinion.
04:57
I just think logically I don't see how you escape that logic. It's a wasted vote. So anyway
05:04
Some some prominent evangelicals John Piper and Karen Swallow Pryor two of the more notable ones have written articles recently
05:13
Saying why they cannot vote for either candidate and just a couple of brief excerpts from both of these articles
05:20
Let me let me read them to you first from Karen Swallow Pryor Dr.
05:26
Pryor who is research professor of English in Christianity and culture at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary writes this
05:34
While Trump has delivered on his promises to nominate conservative justices to the Supreme Court whose philosophies about Constitutional interpretation are seen as a necessary prerequisite for overturning
05:47
Roe v. Wade He has not shown himself to be pro -life or pro -family in other meaningful ways
05:53
He refused to condemn China for its horrific ongoing human rights violations of Muslim minorities being kept in concentration camps his reckless and inconsistent messaging about the
06:04
COVID -19 pandemic has certainly contributed to a record number of deaths this year.
06:11
She goes on to say Moreover, as I've stated before it is impossible to cultivate a truly pro -life culture while advocating for in living a lifestyle of adultery sexual abuse and Promiscuity or while failing to repent for such immorality in the past Similarly, dr.
06:32
John Piper who is the former pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church and founder of Desiring God?
06:38
Ministries writes this he says Actually, this is a long overdue article attempting to explain why
06:45
I remain baffled that so many Christians consider the sins of unrepentant sexual immorality unrepentant boastfulness unrepentant vulgarity
06:55
Unrepentant factiousness and the like to be only toxic for our nation while policies that endorse baby killing sex switching
07:03
Freedom limiting and socialistic overreach are viewed as deadly to be more specific
07:09
They are sins that destroy people. They are not just deadly. They are deadly forever
07:15
They lead to eternal destruction and he gives a scripture references they destroy persons and through persons they destroy nations
07:23
I find it bewildering that Christians can be so sure that greater damage will be done by bad judges bad laws and bad
07:31
Policies than is being done by the culture infecting spread of the gangrene of sinful self -exaltation and boasting and strife stirring
07:43
Okay, dear ones, I want to be very clear and make sure you understand that both dr. Karen Pryor and dr
07:48
John Piper affirmed that abortion is sinful they both understand that it is the murder of an unborn child and That is why they cannot vote for Joe Biden rightly so and so I agree with them on that my my concern however comes in when they say that Just as they cannot vote for John, excuse me
08:11
Joe Biden they cannot vote for Donald Trump because even though he's pro -life and he has been appointing conservative pro -life judges
08:22
Donald Trump represents an entirely different kind of swath of sins if you will
08:29
He's boorish. He has crass vulgar Language, he is prideful and arrogant and self -exalting and these are sins, too and they rightly hold that these sins are just as Damning as is the sin of abortion in that if you have broken one of God's laws you have broken them all and In that sense they are right
08:56
I mean theoretically if you and I have only committed one sin in our entire lives, which is a laughable proposition
09:02
But but just theoretically Then that one sin would in and of itself be deserving of an eternity in hell
09:10
Enduring the full undiluted fury of God's wrath. That's what it would earn us rightly, so But they say that because Donald Trump represents all these other sins
09:22
Then they cannot vote for Donald Trump either and so they are going to write in a third party candidate, which as I said earlier is a
09:32
Wasted vote but I want to bring to your attention why I disagree with their thinking in this and And also point out to you that this is something most people don't really understand
09:45
But generally speaking the Democratic Party platform is based upon the premise that man is inherently good
09:54
That is the basic philosophy Underlying the Democratic Party platform man is basically inherently good and Because man is good.
10:05
Then there are there's no need for any real restraints on his behavior because he is good
10:12
If he desires to be a homosexual then that must also be good if he is good.
10:19
It must be okay for a woman to in the life of her unborn child because She is inherently good and inherently good people make good moral decisions
10:33
Because man is inherently good Then we really don't need to concern ourselves too much about rogue nations like Iran or North Korea We don't need to be tough with them.
10:44
They're just Misunderstood and if we could play nice with them and show them that we're really we're really good guys
10:51
And we're friendly and and hey, we can all get along if we just kind of hold hands then then
10:58
Dictators like Kim Jong -un and the ayatollahs and all these these bad rogue guys
11:04
You know if they could just we could just all get along, you know, kind of like the you know, Rodney King philosophy
11:09
I suppose a foreign policy can't we just all get along and all of that naivete is
11:16
Based upon an inherently flawed assumption that man is basically and inherently and intrinsically good
11:24
So that's why you don't see Democrats wanting to put any kind of Restrictions on Human behavior basically now, it's oversimplified, but that's the basic premise here and the conservative viewpoint politically speaking
11:40
Even though most conservatives don't know this the Republican Party platform the conservative
11:47
Philosophy is based upon the premise that man is inherently bad
11:53
That human nature is bad. And so therefore because human nature is inherently bad
12:00
There is a need to put restrictions on Human behavior there is a need not to be not to play patty cakes with dictators peace through strength because they can't be trusted because why human nature is bad and that is certainly more reflective of a
12:20
Biblical worldview that is in fact what the Bible teaches that man is inherently bad and most conservatives don't understand those
12:28
Underpinnings and I'm not at all saying that all conservatives are Christian not at all
12:34
Please don't hear that because the vast majority are not Regenerate, but the overall philosophy does reflect a biblical understanding of the nature of man
12:45
So I want to show you I want to just bring into sharp focus here exactly how horrific and unbiblical
12:56
The Democratic Party platform is just a couple of examples watch this video from Joe Biden as he was doing a town hall in the last couple of weeks or so as of this recording and he is asked a question by a woman who says she has a
13:16
Transgendered eight -year -old Son that she calls her daughter watch this
13:22
The idea that an eight -year -old child or a ten -year -old child decides, you know, I decided
13:28
I want to be transgender That's what I think. I'd like to be a may make my life a lot easier There should be zero discrimination and what's happening is too many
13:38
Transgender women of color are being murdered. They're being murdered And I mean,
13:45
I think it's up to now 17 don't hold me to that number but it's It's higher now and that's just this year.
13:52
And so I promise you there is no reason to Suggest that there should be any right denied your daughter or daughters
14:02
Whichever one or two one your daughter that your other daughter has a right to be and do none zero
14:10
Do you know how many? Transgendered women of color have been murdered in this country
14:17
Numbers not 17. You know what the number is Zero zero because there is no such thing as a transgendered woman of color of any color black white purple
14:34
Whatever. There's no such thing as a transgendered woman God created
14:41
Men and women in his own image in the image of God. He created them male and female.
14:47
He created them When you're born you're born as either a man or a woman
14:55
You know the Democrats say they're all about science. We're gonna follow the science. Well, here's some basic science for you do a
15:01
DNA test You're either a man or a woman. Okay, that's it. You're either a man or a woman this whole transgendered stuff that that's garbage and But the very thought specific to this clip when
15:15
Joe Biden says of this boy an eight -year -old boy eight years old
15:22
Who thinks he's a girl and he should have the right to to start undergoing?
15:31
hormone treatments and surgery and to eight years old
15:37
He should have the right to do that My goodness dear ones if that doesn't show the level of depravity in the
15:47
Democratic Party That is just unbelievable. You know a lot of eight -year -olds believe in Santa Claus they still believe in Santa Claus and so we're gonna trust a child whose intellectual capacity allows for the belief in a
16:05
Fat man in a red suit who's pulled all around the world visiting every home on the planet on a sled
16:12
Pulled by a team of flying reindeer We're gonna trust a child with that kind of intellectual capacity to to make the decision when he wakes up one morning and he just kind of Feels like he ought to be a girl to turn himself into a girl
16:28
Unbelievable you talk about child abuse Holy cow, this is the
16:33
Democratic Party This this is today's Democratic Party and if you write in a third party candidate as I said
16:43
You may as well may as well vote for Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck You're throwing your vote away.
16:50
Whereas you could vote for Donald Trump who has a legitimate shot of beating
16:57
Joe Biden and and at least pushing back That kind of depravity and not allowing it to to take a foothold in our country
17:09
That's about enough. I want to go to abortion now. I want to go to abortion The Democratic Party platform affirms the full unrestricted access to abortion at any stage of Pregnancy now, let me read to you.
17:28
This is straight off of Democrats .org. I believe that this is right. I went to their website.
17:33
This is right off the Democratic Party platform Democrats are committed to protecting and advancing reproductive health rights and justice
17:43
We believe unequivocally like the majority of Americans that every woman should be able to access high quality reproductive health care services including safe and legal abortion
17:55
It's not safe for the baby We will repeal the title 10 domestic gag rule and restore federal funding for planned parenthood
18:05
Which provides vital preventative and reproductive health care for millions of people, especially low -income people people of color and LGBTQXYZ people including in undeserved areas and Here it is
18:18
Democrats oppose and will fight to overturn federal and state laws that create barriers to Reproductive health and rights
18:29
Make no mistake about it the Democratic Party today and You know, there's still there's some older folks out there that are they still are under the illusion that today's
18:42
Democratic Party is the Democratic Party of the 1970s or 60s or maybe even 50s.
18:47
It ain't It ain't the Democratic Party today favors complete and Unrestricted abortion on demand at every stage of the baby's life
19:03
Now I know most of you watching my channel are probably Christians and you know, what abortion is but in case some of you may be watching and you're just Yeah, you probably have some general idea that abortion is, you know, you're ending the life of a of a child
19:19
But you've really never given it a whole lot of thought Maybe you're kind of on the fence of where you where you stand about abortion
19:25
I just want to remind you of what abortion is and I want you to hear it right from the mouth of A man who used to perform abortions used to do them himself and what happened to this guy why he doesn't now
19:39
I don't have any real concrete reason to think that he became a Christian But in fact,
19:45
I don't think he is but watch this and it shows you how even an unregenerate person came to realize
19:54
What abortion is I want you to this is graphic. In fact For you parents and and I know
20:00
I know I have some Families out there that watch my youtube channel together with the children
20:07
This is not for them Okay, this next this next section here is is not not for little eyes.
20:15
Okay or ears So maybe take this time to hit the pause button and and Let the let the little children
20:25
Sit this one out teenagers. That's fine. Little children might want to sit this out Watch this
20:32
This investigation of Planned Parenthood is based on false premises one after another after another It's time to stop wasting time get on with meaningful work and stop picking on women and trying to take their choice away
20:43
I yield back the balance of my time the time of the gentleman has expired. We welcome our distinguished witnesses today
20:49
Do you and each of you swear that the testimony that you are about to give shall be the truth the whole truth and nothing?
20:55
But the truth so help you God And I'll now begin by introducing today's witnesses. The first witness is dr.
21:01
Anthony Levitino. Dr Levitino is a board -certified obstetrician gynecologist over the course of his career.
21:08
Dr Levitino has practiced obstetrics and gynecology in both private and university settings including as an associate professor of OB -GYN at the
21:19
Albany Medical College and dr. Levitino will begin with you. Welcome. Thank you chairman and members of the committee
21:26
I Only have five minutes, so I'm gonna get right to it second trimester D &E abortions performed between Roughly 14 and 24 weeks of gestation your patient today is 17 years old
21:38
She's 22 weeks pregnant her baby is the length of your hand plus a couple of inches
21:44
And she's been feeling her baby kick for the last several weeks, but she's asleep on an operating room table
21:49
You walk into that operating room scrubbed and gowned and after removing laminaria you introduce a suction catheter into the uterus
21:56
This is a 14 French suction catheter If she were 12 weeks pregnant or less basically the width of your hand or smaller
22:03
You could basically do the entire procedure with this, but baby's this big don't fit through catheters this size
22:10
After suctioning the amniotic fluid out from around the baby you introduce an instrument called a sulfur clamp.
22:16
It's about 13 inches long It's made of stainless steel The business end of this clamp is about two and a half inches long and a half inch wide there are rows of sharp teeth
22:24
This is a grasping instrument when it gets a hold of something. It does not let go a DNA procedure is a blind abortion so picture yourself introducing this and grabbing anything you can blindly and pull
22:35
And I do mean hard and out pops the leg about that big which you put down on the table next to you
22:41
Reach in again pull again pull out an arm about the same length Which you put down on the table next to you and use this instrument again and again to tear out the spine the intestines the heart and lungs
22:54
Head and the baby that size is about the size of a large plum Can't see it But you pretty good idea you got it if you've got your instrument around something and your fingers are spread about as far as they
23:04
Go you know you did it right if you crush down on the instrument white material runs out of the cervix
23:09
That was the baby's brains Then you could pull out skull pieces And you have a day like I had a lot of time sometimes a little face comes back and stares back at you
23:18
Congratulations, you just successfully performed a second trimester DNA abortion. You just affirmed her right to choose disturbed by that Good You should be you should be
23:30
I want to show you now an excerpt of a video that a friend of mine put together His name is
23:35
Gabe Hughes, and he is a pastor He and his family are currently in the process now of moving to Lindale, Texas where they're gonna be or he rather is going to be on staff there at First Baptist Church Lindale, Texas pastored by Tom Buck both
23:49
Tom and Gabe are friends of mine, but Gabe does the WWU TT videos when we understand the text
24:00
WWTT and I highly commend this YouTube channel to you I don't think
24:05
I've ever asked anybody to subscribe to my own YouTube channel believe it or not. It just is something
24:11
I don't think I've ever asked anybody to do that. I am going to ask you to subscribe to Gabe Hughes YouTube channel
24:17
WWU TT I'll put the link down below there in the description of this video, but Watch watch the excerpt of this video that he recently did on abortion
24:31
Abortion is a Holocaust the murder of unborn children 3 ,000 in America each day about 1 million per year burned with chemicals ripped apart with forceps decapitated with scissors
24:44
Sacrificed for mom and dad sexual immorality according to God's Word Exodus 21 says that Justice for the murder of an unborn child is the same justice as for the murder of an adult.
24:56
I thought about as I offered some comments after that clip to as I was talking to just put a screenshot of what you just saw the images of those little babies and I decided not to Obviously not because I am
25:16
Hesitant to show the reality of that's what this whole video is about But that just in going back and look at those those images are
25:26
So horrific So horrific and If you want to of course, you can back the video up and look again
25:38
That's the reality dear ones of what is happening in this country legally every single day in fact since Roe v.
25:50
Wade was decided back in 1973 there have been 63 million unborn children murdered in this country legally that is well over 3 ,500 every single day 1 ,000 of those are black children 1 ,000 black children murdered in this country every day
26:13
We a few years ago were horrified at the scenes that we saw coming out of the
26:18
Middle East ISIS cutting people's heads off Some of their prisoners literally cutting their heads off with with knives horrified at that rightly so Friends we do the same thing in this country
26:36
Every single day and we do it legally and we do it with the
26:47
Unqualified support and Blessing of the
26:52
Democratic Party They support that Not only do they support it they support it at every stage of pregnancy every stage including up to and even after The baby is born
27:12
Think I'm exaggerating Think I'm using hyperbole Watch this video.
27:18
Remember this little Jim from Virginia's governor Ralph Northam from about almost two years ago.
27:25
Remember this Here's a little refresher Sass noted. It's the biggest debate in the country over the last couple of days
27:31
But yesterday Democrats claimed they hadn't heard governor Northam's comments. I'm sorry. I just don't know what he said yesterday
27:38
Here's what Virginia's governor did say the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable the infant would be resuscitated if that's what the
27:47
Mother and the family desired and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother
27:54
You know the first thought I had when I saw that I wondered myself
27:59
Why are you concerned about keeping the baby comfortable as it lay there on the metallic tray?
28:08
Why are you worried about that? You're not worried about crushing its head with forceps. You're not worried about ripping its arms and legs off You're not worried about burning the baby alive with Whatever they use some saline solution to do that.
28:24
You're not worried about that. You think the baby's comfortable As you're burning it alive. You think the baby's comfortable as you're ripping its limbs off You think the baby's comfortable as you crush its head with forceps?
28:37
Why are you worried about it? But what is so shocking and what shocked the conscience of so many people is
28:45
That he says even after the baby has been born You try to keep it comfortable as it lay there on the metal tray and then a discussion
28:54
Would ensue between the mother and the doctor a discussion a baby alive breathing and Then a discussion will ensue
29:08
Welcome to the Democratic Party This is what they support and and you're gonna you're gonna try to tell me that there is some moral equivalency between that and In having a potty mouth being boorish and arrogant and prideful
29:33
Let me give you a hypothetical situation now granted. This is not likely to happen to you
29:40
But it's theoretically possible. But but just to illustrate the point that I'm making
29:45
Let's say you're driving your car and you've got your two Young children in the backseat strapped into their
29:54
Car seats and you're driving along and you have a wreck and your car spins out
30:01
Into the ditch you're thrown out of the car because you weren't wearing your seatbelt. You're thrown out of the car and Your legs are broken, but your children remain in the car that is now on fire
30:15
The car is burning and you're laying in the ditch a few feet away With broken legs and you can't get to them and up runs a stranger
30:25
Seeing what happened the stranger is running up and is headed to the car to pull those children out of the car
30:31
What what are you gonna say? Oh, sir, sir, sir. Wait, wait before you help my children. Do you have a potty mouth?
30:38
Have you been faithful to your wife Because if you have a potty mouth or you haven't been faithful to your wife,
30:44
I'm afraid I just cannot accept your help Are you gonna do that? Of course not
30:51
No one would do that And yet that is kind of the logic here.
30:58
Is it not? Where does my logic break down? You know
31:04
Every single restriction that there is on abortion has come at the hands of Republican legislators and Republican appointed judges and justices
31:16
Every single one and there's a lot there are a lot of Restrictions they vary of course from state to state you have a lot more restriction on abortion and in red states like,
31:27
Mississippi and Alabama and You know, North South Dakota as opposed to,
31:33
California or Massachusetts, you know deep blue states,
31:38
New York So they vary but every one that exists comes at the hands of Republicans not
31:46
Democrats There there is really there's for all intents and purposes
31:51
There's no such thing as a pro -life Democrat at the federal level Not at the federal level not in any meaningful way you might have a couple of them that Maybe would frown on late -term abortion, but their numbers are so small and so insignificant.
32:05
It really doesn't matter The Democrat Party has done nothing and I do mean nothing
32:12
To restrict abortion they do everything to promote it All the way through every stage of pregnancy up to and including even birth and after birth they have
32:27
The Democratic Party is opposed to what has I think called the born -alive act that And even
32:34
Barack Obama when he was a senator state senator in Illinois Voted against a bill.
32:41
I'm not sure if it was actually called the born -alive act It may have been but anyway, it held that if a baby survived an abortion and it doesn't happen a lot
32:51
But on occasion it does somehow in God's providence a baby survive actually does survive an abortion
32:59
In the in the cases that those that that does happen That this bill would have required that the hospital the the doctors involved
33:08
Would be would be required to do everything they can to save the baby's life
33:14
Barack Obama voted against that Against it. Okay. How how how could you vote against that?
33:21
This is the Democratic Party Every restriction on abortion comes at the hands of Republicans and You may not like Donald Trump's behavior.
33:33
You may not like all of his tweets and you know what quite frankly I don't like all of his tweets. I don't
33:38
I don't I don't like his crass Language and and boorish behavior and some of the things
33:46
I've heard him say I know he's been married three times I know all that but you know what? Donald Trump is not a believer.
33:52
He's not regenerate. I pray for him. Literally. I'm not just saying this I do pray for his salvation.
33:59
I pray for his conversion But you know when I vote for Donald Trump, I'm not voting for a pastor
34:10
I'm voting for a president and Yes, I would prefer of course
34:16
I would love to see our president come to genuine faith in Christ and Repent of sins and come to saving faith in Christ.
34:24
I would love that and I pray for that But that is not a prerequisite for me to save babies lives through the
34:35
The laws that in the executive orders and the just judges and justices
34:41
That he will appoint that will that will place more and more restrictions on abortion if not
34:48
Overturn it personally. I don't ever I don't see that happening I wish it would but I don't see
34:53
Roe v. Wade being completely overturned, but you know what? Just to use kind of a general example here if if there's a
35:03
Thousand children out there that are in danger and I can only save half of them physically
35:08
I'm gonna do that rather than let all of them die And and so I'm voting for a president.
35:17
I'm voting for a commander -in -chief I'm not saying you have to agree with all of his policies or all of his, you know, the way he comports himself
35:26
But this issue should unite us I don't expect
35:32
Donald Trump to Come out in the Rose Garden and and give us a daily exposition of the book of Romans That's not what he's for at all
35:44
So If you write in a third -party candidate if you say well I can't vote for Donald Trump because he's boorish and I can't vote for Joe Biden because he's pro -abortion
35:53
And you see a moral equivalence. You're gonna write in a third -party candidate you by voting for Trump.
36:00
You could vote against Joe Biden you could vote against the
36:06
Unrestricted access to the murder and slaughter of children. That's what you could do
36:13
And to not do that is to throw your vote away a vote for Trump is a vote against the party of murder
36:22
Let me give you another hypothetical just to illustrate the point and granted this stretches credulity, of course
36:29
But it's just for purposes of illustration Let's say you find yourself in the 1930s
36:35
Germany and an election is coming up and you have an opportunity to vote for either a
36:40
Adolf Hitler who is promising to exterminate the Jews or be someone named let's call him
36:49
George and you clearly cannot vote for Adolf Hitler because he's promising to exterminate the
36:55
Jews and But you don't really like George either he's promising to protect the
37:00
Jews, but George is just just a nasty guy I mean, he's got a he's got a potty mouth and and he's been unfaithful to his wife and he's clearly not a
37:11
Christian but he does promise to protect the lives of the Jews and you have every reason to believe that he will follow through on his word by the people that He appoints whatnot, but you just can't vote for George either because he's just such a just such a
37:29
Not a nice guy, even though he's gonna protect the Jews and Adolf Hitler's openly saying he's gonna he's gonna kill him
37:38
What do you do? Do you write in someone? What do you write in Babe Ruth?
37:45
Because you Clearly can't vote for Adolf Hitler, but you don't like George either You vote in Babe Ruth.
37:52
You see it's a wasted vote. What would you do? Well, I would hope you would vote for George even though he's not a nice guy
37:59
But he's promising to protect the Jews and do the opposite of what Adolf Hitler has already
38:05
Openly said he would do Right in a third party candidate. It's a wasted vote. Of course, you would vote for George.
38:11
It's the same thing Here there is no difference in logic.
38:17
It is the same thing here Every restriction there has been placed upon abortion has come at the hands of the
38:24
Republican Party and those appointed by the Republican Party and Donald Trump Boorish behavior aside
38:33
Donald Trump has been I Don't even think it's up for debate. He has been hands -down the most pro -life president
38:43
That we have had since Roe v. Wade including Ronald Reagan Watch this from Donald Trump State of the
38:52
Union address in 2019 There could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her infant child
39:04
Than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation
39:16
That would allow a baby To be ripped from the mother's womb moments from birth
39:24
These are living feeling beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and their dreams with the world and Then we had the case of the governor of Virginia Where he stated he would execute a baby after birth to defend the dignity of every person
39:47
I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late -term abortion of children
39:55
You see all those women sitting there in the white outfits those are liberal
40:16
Democratic legislators and This is the face of the
40:21
Democratic Party today. This is the future of the Democratic Party They cannot support any kind of restriction on Abortion they will not because they are that is their religion.
40:33
Their God is Malik sacrificing children to their pagan God Welcome to today's
40:40
Democratic Party. Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes
40:57
Innocent life and let us reaffirm a fundamental truth
41:25
All children born and unborn are made in the holy image of God Our president is exactly right about that These children are made in the image of God now
41:40
I don't think he understands all that that entails as I said, I do not believe that Donald Trump is a
41:48
Regenerate person. I pray that he Is granted by God genuine faith and repentance from sin.
41:56
I pray for that but he is right and Those children from the difference from the moment that an egg is fertilized that fertilized egg
42:07
Becomes an image bearer. That is a person made in the image of God the Imago Dei every bit as much
42:15
Made in the image of God as are you and I and we have just as much responsibility to protect their lives as We would have to protect the lives of a group of school children out there playing on the playground
42:31
And we would not stand for we I don't think anybody in this country Lost or saved or whatever.
42:39
I don't think anybody in this country would ever vote for a political party that says We believe that if if you have children in the home and they're you know
42:49
They're grown or they're growing children toddlers 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Whatever years old and if you really get tired of them and just they become too much of a burden then you can kill them
43:00
Nobody would vote for a political party that that believes that And yet it is the same thing when you
43:10
Either vote for a Democrat or I would I would have to posit if you just throw your vote away
43:17
It's an it's a it's an implicit when your vote could do something to stop that and yet you throw it away
43:24
I Think that is being complicit in the sin of abortion. No matter how much you verbalize
43:32
That you are against it If you if you have the power to do something your your little part your vote
43:40
To do something to stop it and you don't throw it away. I think I think that is being complicit in that sin
43:47
Jeremiah 19 verse 4 God says Since they have abandoned me and have made this place foreign and have burned sacrifices in it to other gods
43:56
That neither they nor their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever known and since they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent note that and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as Burnt offerings to Baal a thing which
44:16
I did not command nor speak of nor did it ever enter my mind
44:23
God speaking again in Ezekiel chapter 16 verse 21 You slaughtered my children and offered them to idols by making them pass through the fire
44:36
God says you slaughtered my children My children, this should not be a hard decision dear ones
44:46
God has providentially ordained it that you and I Have a role in who our leaders are
44:54
His Providence has provided that we have the ability to vote and you may not want to vote for Donald Trump But you can certainly vote against The party that slaughters the innocents
45:11
This muddled thinking and this unbiblical thinking and in confusion about Something that should be so very clear if you have a biblical worldview
45:20
Unfortunately, this this is some of the bad fruit that is born from the bad
45:27
Tree that is known as the social justice movement. This is some of the bad fruit that it bears
45:36
So as I get ready to land this plane dear ones, I know that this video is has been maybe
45:43
Hard to watch and hard -hitting and you've probably seen me get a bit more animated than what
45:49
I typically do But I do feel so so passionately about this. I really to use
45:55
John Piper's terminology, I am bewildered that a person with a biblical worldview
46:02
Could could see it the way they do. I think it's I think it's profoundly unbiblical thinking a huge huge blind spot and so You know that this country is is under the judgment of God already
46:19
You might remember five years ago in the Supreme Court decision. Oh beggar. Oh beggar felt that the
46:26
Supreme Court just Found out of thin air created out of thin air a constitutional right for homosexuals to marry and Before that decision came down there was a lot of hand -wringing going on Particularly amongst evangelicals saying oh if we do this if we legalize homosexual marriage, that's going to bring the judgment of God No, it's not going to bring the judgment of God.
46:51
It is The judgment of God homosexual marriage is God's judgment on this country
46:57
This is what we see in Romans chapter 1. This is the wrath of God's Abandonment read
47:03
Romans chapter 1 when he gives people over to depraved minds And they do those things which are not fitting.
47:11
That's what we're seeing in this country Homosexuals marrying that's part of God's judgment
47:18
Murdering children that is part of the wrath of God's Abandonment giving people over to depraved minds
47:26
Not knowing if you're a man or a woman just completely losing all ability to even think
47:33
That's the wrath of God's abandonment. So it's not a matter of if we are going to be judged by God It's not even a matter of when we already are
47:41
We already are now You know how long the United States has left
47:47
I have no idea We clearly do not play into the eschatological
47:53
Events described in the book of Revelation the United States is not in there and no matter
47:58
I don't care. What kind of hermeneutical gymnastics you try to go through We don't we don't figure in and so The clock is ticking on this country to be sure but I think that God has granted us
48:12
In his mercy a bit of a reprieve with President Trump and so we
48:18
I think we need to do our part to See as Christians that that he that he is reelected now.
48:24
Is he gonna win? I have absolutely no idea. I don't know Here's what I believe. Here's what
48:29
I believe. I'm gonna tell you who's gonna win. I do know who's gonna win Here's here's who's gonna win on November 3rd.
48:35
You mark it down and I'm recording this on October the 30th, and so you mark it down after the election that I'm writing this
48:46
Whoever wins will be the person the man that God has ordained it from eternity past to win
48:54
Romans chapter 13. I don't know how any other way to read Romans 13 whoever wins
49:01
It will be whoever God has ordained to win this election. That's who's gonna win whether it be
49:06
Biden or whether it be Trump and you may be thinking well, Justin you've spent this whole video talking about how we
49:13
We should vote and do our part and now you're saying that it's been ordained from eternity past. That's right.
49:19
It has been But this is the this is what we call and get a little theological here.
49:24
This is what we call an antinomy to seemingly contradictory truths
49:31
That yet are not contradictory that that Scripture teaches two truths that seem to be in contradiction seem to be mutually exclusive But in God's providence in his economy somehow they are not
49:43
God's sovereignty and man's responsibility The Bible teaches both they are both true because Scripture teaches both
49:53
Does that make our heads swim? Of course it does we can't wrap our finite minds around that But just as much as God has ordained the end
50:02
He has also ordained the means to the end and God's ordained means to his ordained end include human accountability and responsibility and in pertaining to the subject matter of this video
50:18
We have the opportunity and the privilege to vote and so because God has sovereignly decreed it that I have that freedom
50:27
I have done it already so my votes in the in the hopper if you will and I and I hope that yours will be too and I hope
50:35
It will be for Donald Trump Okay, dear ones. Thank you very much for watching until our next time together
