Who could end up with more innocent blood on their hands - Bernard Slepian, or James Kopp?

Who could end up with more innocent blood on their hands - Bernard Slepian, or James Kopp?

November 22, 2002

James Kopp might have helped send Bernard Slepian to Hell by murdering him as he was on the verge of turning pro-life and quite possibly accepting Jesus as Lord. Slepian was to speak to the Buffalo area Pro-Life Clergy Council the day after his murder. Slepian had been meeting regularly with Pastor Bob Behn shortly before his murder. It doesn't matter what James Kopp SAYS - he murdered Slepian in cold blood thus premeditated since he used lethal force and killed Slepian and possibly much worse as the second death lasts for eternity.

Kopp is misrepresenting the Lord Jesus Christ so severely so that the blood of countless thousands today and in the future could be on his hands when pro-abortion fanatics and other God-haters attempt to use Kopp as an excuse for ignoring the Gospel of Christ. If James Kopp were truly "horrified that Bernard Slepian died instead of only being wounded" by his senseless act of violence, he would not be trying to plead innocent and justify his actions. He would take responsibility for using the "pro-choice" ideology to choose death for another person without due process of law. "...Bloodshed follows bloodshed..." (Hosea 4:2)

The God-haters and baby killers with their supporters will use this betrayal of the Lord Jesus, God's Law, unborn children and true Christians everywhere by James Kopp to strip what's left of our First Amendment rights from under the Constitution's protection. And this is a tragedy.

After all, the God-haters that kill children directly or by default by supporting the murder of unborn children in reality don't care about free speech rights in any way, shape or form. If they cared even about their own right to free speech, they would never follow their "Free speech for me but not for thee" agenda and tactics.

As it is, the ACLU, pro-abortion activists, atheists and other foolish God-haters will one day wake up to find out that by silencing the Christians, they've lost their own right to free speech and much, much more. Hitler would be jealous! He was demon-possessed and never dreamed of doing as much harm by convincing the nation to give up their God-given rights so willingly. And it's all due to one traitor named James Kopp and a tiny handful of others like him.

James Kopp proved to be a traitor to the Lord Jesus by murdering a man that was quite possibly about to accept Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. It is possible he could have become another Bernard Nathanson (also a Jew who converted to Christ), Carol Everett, or Norma McCorvey had Kopp not violated God's Law and our state laws modeled after God's Law. What a tragedy! It is true that Bernard Slepian bears his own guilt for refusing Jesus Christ, the Messiah while he had ample time, but to have a man such as James Kopp cut Slepian's days short is almost comparable to what Judas Iscariot did. As Jesus said,

"Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!" (Matthew 18:7, NASB)

In the next 2 verses of Matthew 18 Jesus tells us it would be better for James Kopp, or anyone else including you or I, to cut off his own hand or foot and even go so far as to pluck out his own eye IF one of these body parts were the cause of our sin. Better to enter the kingdom of heaven maimed or blind than to have all our members working and end up having one's entire body, soul and spirit thrown into the lake of fire for eternity! But we know that our own eyes or hands and feet are not what tempt us to sin but each man, woman or child sins when they are enticed by and ield to their own cravings of the flesh, the eyes and the pride of life. James 1:13-15; 1 John 2:15-16.

Second: Unless James Kopp's professed love for the unborn children is equaled by his love for his enemies, James Kopp has nothing different than pagan unbelievers! He's proven this. Even abortionists who murder children for fun and profit love those who love them in return. These are not my words but the Word of God from the lips of the Lord Jesus Christ. God Himself clarifies the meaning of His Law in the 'Sermon on the Mount'. Matthew 5:43-48.

Anyone else who claims to follow the Lord Jesus as His disciple must likewise love their enemies including those who hate God. I would never rejoice over an abortionist's death for if George Tiller were to die in his present state, he would perish in eternal fire suffering torment with no hope. As long as he or another abortionist is alive, there is a possibility that they will repent and turn to Jesus as Lord for mercy, grace and eternal life.

If George Tiller or any other child killer were to die without the biblical Jesus as his Lord, I would be very sad that he perished but happy for the babies that would live and not die. There is a world of difference between this latter biblical Christian path other true Christians and I choose and the non-biblical and illegal path that James Kopp ultimately took towards Bernard Slepian.

Third: James Kopp betrayed Christ by betraying all the millions of peaceful Christians in the pro-life movement. Kopp's unlawful act of violence toward an abortionist will, like a mere handful of others, be used by child murder advocates to persecute Christians even further. The blatantly unconstitutional FACE law was a direct result of Michael Griffin and Paul Hill's murder of abortion providers. These first isolated acts of unlawful lethal violence have been used to unjustly tar and feather Christians on the front lines of the battle to end the American Holocaust through the gospel of Christ.

It is the gospel message and pro-life movement that James Kopp betrayed. Thousands of Christians have been driven away from the gates not by foul-mouthed violent deathscorts but by the fear of the iron fist of the federal government. Dubious FACE lawsuits, the misuse of the RICO anti-racketeering statute, decisions by Marxist pro-abortion God-haters in the judicial system along with local and state prosecutors persecuting peaceful Christians under the guise of fighting violence have done the harm.

A tiny handful of people who have given up depending solely on the preaching of the Cross of Christ in their impatience are welcomed in front of TV cameras and on to the front pages of the lapdog Marxist media. This spin machine for the abortion industry has been willing and eager to give the tiny minority of advocates for the use of violence a soapbox from which to tout their violent agenda. Thus they, the abortion industry's spin machine, create a suitable atmosphere from which to argue their pro-abortion agenda in their war against Christianity and unborn children. The media will be even more zealous now. And this is a real tragedy.

Last of all, the biggest losers in this distortion and betrayal are the millions of innocent unborn children being led to the slaughter! These most innocent of all will be robbed of their few peaceful defenders because of the carnal actions of James Kopp.

The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only method that works whether quickly or over time. It took nearly 4 centuries to end the child sacrifice and gladiator contests of the Roman Empire by the early Church. In contrast, the Church of America has been engaged in the battle to end the American Holocaust since 1973. And many churches have remained silent or, in other words, pro-life by conviction but pro-abortion by default.

What we are witnessing is the inevitable reaping of the seeds of bloodshed (violence and departure from God's Law) we have sown in the womb - in our streets. None of the statements or Scriptures quoted today conflict with the orthodox Christian position taken by true Calvinist theology including this closing verse:

"The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9, Amplified Bible)
