These are apostates for sure. They are not Christians in any sense of the word. In fact, they remain dead in their sins and are promoting what the LORD says is an abomination. A group of self-proclaimed “pastors” criticized representatives in the State of North Carolina for attempts to protect the unborn from being murdered during a rally held last week.

A small group of North Carolina pastors criticized state lawmakers for trying to protect unborn babies from abortion during a rally Friday in the state Capitol.
According to the Religion News Service, the pastors, who profess to be Christians, asserted that God gives women the “freedom” to make their own decisions about aborting their unborn babies. One even wore a pink pastor’s stole with the name and logo of the billion-dollar abortion chain Planned Parenthood.
“Religious leaders know what is at stake for a woman faced with an unexpected pregnancy,” said the Rev. Jennifer Copeland, executive director of the North Carolina Council of Churches, according to the report. “God’s primary directive for God’s people has always been about all of us taking care of each one of us but allowing every one of us the freedom to make our own decisions.”
But the bill that Copeland’s group opposes, the Care for Women, Children and Families Act, does take care of people. It protects unborn babies from abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy and includes $160 million in aid for parents and children in need throughout North Carolina.
State lawmakers passed the pro-life bill by a strong majority earlier this month, but Gov. Roy Cooper, a pro-abortion Democrat, vetoed it Saturday. The legislature appears to have enough votes to override Cooper’s veto, but pro-abortion activists are putting intense pressure on lawmakers to change their votes.
Currently, abortions are legal for any reason up to 20 weeks in North Carolina.
Christianity teaches that every human life is valuable from conception to natural death because he or she is created in God’s image. However, some church leaders have strayed from the truth and support killing unborn babies.
Approximately 12 attended the pro-abortion rally Friday, including Copeland and the Rev. William J. Barber II of Poor People’s Campaign and Repairers of the Breach, RNS reports. The speakers insisted that Christians can and should support abortions, and claimed lawmakers focus too much on the issue and not enough on helping the poor and ending gun violence.
“Please don’t quote the Bible to tell me you can make your faith the law of the land, because I read the Book, and it is clear about what we must demand of political leaders in the public square,” Barber said. “Jesus says to nations, you really want to be about my word? When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat. When I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink.”
Barber is not a believer. That is evidence in what he said. Instead, I’ll bet he might tell you Jesus is king, but not King right now, and that His laws don’t supersede the laws of men, but they do!
Until the people that name the name of Jesus understand that He is King now, and push back with the law of God and the judgments of God, we will continue to see people like this preach their damnable heresies and the wicked will continue to flourish. However, if we get a vision of the all-powerful Yeshua, sitting on His throne and giving the law that is to be implemented in the nations, it would taken a very short time for us to see the results of the righteous ruling and not the wicked (Proverbs 29:2, 12, 26).
