Pure Greed and Selfishness

Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. (Matthew 2:16)

If we study the Word of God again and again, much if not all the killing of innocent lives such as babies are the results of pure greed and selfishness of the mighty and powerful. Starting from the time of Pharaoh, until the time of Herod, and even mostly these days! Why? Simply because people want to enjoy their lives, their power, their influence, and stay alive as long as they can! It is greed and selfishness – pure and simple.

In America, many people are now celebrating for the signing of the stem cell research program which was banned by the previous administration for around eight years. Although, this is a very sensitive issue, the Word of God is still the best place to check what’s going on. Everything is all about morality, not science. God created life, and now scientists wanted to play gods. They can now decide who should live and who must die. Evidently, he who has the money and power can live, and the innocent blood will be sacrificed. We have our modern Herods these days.

Life is in the blood, and the only thing that can cry out to God for justice is our blood. Abel’s blood cried out to God, and Cain was brought to judgment even without the CSI’s. Modern CSI’s rely on the unique DNA structure of our blood to catch murderers and perpetuators. Most importantly, the blood of Jesus is so powerful to save a person from death to life everlasting.

So, are human embryos just another stage of mutation and adaptation into a different stage of life, which some may say a fish stage? The Word of God said He knows us even before we were born (Eph. 1:4), He assigned us a life, name, and identity. And finally, God also sets our expiration date (Heb. 9:27).
