Clerics take on abortion vote
Continued from page SB
led to Amnesty winning the
1977 Nobel Peace Prize.
“This is completely incon
sistent with what Amnesty
has been about,” said John-
Henry Westen, a board mem
ber of the Campaign Life
Coalition, a Tbronto-based
group representing about
110,000 families. “We consid
er this an attack on the rights
of the unborn.”
Westen said some members
- including several "signifi
cant” financial contributors to
Amnesty - already have
stopped supporting the
group.
“This is forcing people to
make a choice,” he said.
Amnesty’s various regional
offices are being asked to
study whether to end the
group’s official “neutral”
stance on abortion. In its
place, the group could declare
access to abortion a human
right in specific cases includ
ing rape and life-threatening
pregnancy complications.
The proposals — growir^ out
of Amnesty’s campaign to
stop violence against women
— also include wheUier to sup
port legal access to contracep
tion.
Few places, including the
United States, appear ready
for an u^p or down vote on the
matter. Instead, the discus
sions so far have been gener
al, noncommittal arid pas
sionate. In New Zealand,
Amnesty’s local director, Ced
Simpson, said there have
been “strongly held views on
both sides of the debate.”
A final decision could come
at Amnesty’s next interna
tional gatiiming - in Mexico
in August 2007. But the
Amnesty statement said
“much dep^ids on the out
comes” of the current debates
in various countries. If there’s
agreement that the abortion
rightfl proposal has support, it
could either be adopted by
consensus or put to a formal
vote. Otherwise, it could be
dropped or sent back for more
discussions.

“Hell: A Living Reality” (Part I)
J.M. Little, Teacher
We are living in such a materialistic age today that any thought of Hell is resolved virith
atheism. But 1 vi/ant to tell you, my friends: Hell is a living reality, just as Heaven is a living
reality. And your atheism does not in any way do away with the truth of a literal Hell.
There are two souls on the face of this earth who know there is a Hell: first, the bornagain
believer and second, the awakened sinner, if you do not believe God’s Word about Hell,
you are not in either of these two classes. First, as a bornagain believer, I know there is a
Hell because I’ve been delivered from it. And before Christ was revealed to my heart, the
blessed Holy Spirit opened my heart and let me see just a little of the hell on the
backside of my heart. Let me give you a truth in passing: if you could see what is on the
backside of your old wicked and totally depraved heart, you’d see a miniature hell there.
Have you ever seen it? If not. you are not saved! Not one of the writers of the Bible tried
to prove the existence of Hell. They simply declared the truth about Hell as they were
inspired by the Holy Ghost. Did you know there are some 54 Verses in the Bible directly
talking about Hell? Never thought about that, did you? And let me pause in this study to
say that when you come across the term “Holy Ghost" in the Scriptures, the reference is
to the “Holy Spirit". The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Holy Trinity. And you do not
have to be afraid to use the term “Holy Ghost”. I know the love of the Father, the
Redemption of the Son. and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. No, I do not vyorehip three
Gods. Just One. All Three are One. One in essence, but Three in Personality. In this
study, I am not trying to prove the reality of Hell to any man. You can deny Hell all you
want to. Your atheism will not keep you out of Hell. You just wait “til you wake up in Hell.
You won’t deny it then. Now let’s look at some Scriptures which God sets forth in His
word about Hell. The first I call your attention to is Deut. 32:22: “For a fire is kindled in
mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her
increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.” In connection with this
reference, read II Pet. 3 and weep.
