FEMALE MINISTER AT HISTORIC CHURCH SLANDERS PRO-LIFE ADVOCATES, BUT ADMITS TRUTH ABOUT ABORTION Donna Schaper is the senior minister of the historic Judson Memorial Church [JMC] in Manhattan, NYC. In an article in the Hartford Courier [CT], she told her story about an "abortion she had 19 years ago" because she feels that "abortion rights may become more restrictive." Schaper’s moral theology is so distorted that she believes that "abstinence is immoral to the core." She considers anti-abortionists to be her enemies and vilifies them as individuals who know little/nothing about human compassion and kindness. Schaper alleges that when she hears debates on abortion, she can "hear the echo of people wanting to kill women’s maturity and sexuality." She claims that her abortion was a right choice "for me, for my family, for my husband, and for my three children." However, she made a frank admission about her actions when she stated: "I think the quarrel about when life begins is disrespectful to the fetus. I know I murdered the life within me. I could have chosen to have loved that life, but chose not to." This is a startling unsolicited admission about life in the womb from an unexpected source. Ps. 139:13-16 and Jer. 1:5 make it plain that genuine life exists in the womb and that the essential substance of a human body and human life are inside a womb, though in "unperfect" form. The Judson Memorial Church [JMC] that Schapers pastors is horribly apostate, having been a hotbed of left-wing activity and the new morality for several decades. About 20 years ago, the National Council of Churches [NCCC] actually sponsored a conference on "prostitution ministries" in that church. Several working prostitutes were actually participants in that wicked conclave. Believe it or not, the JMC provided harlots "with refreshments and a place to rest and talk" while they were plying their degenerative trade! What is just as incredible but true, is that at the time of the "Prostitution Ministry" conference, "as an integral part of its ministry," JMC was "pushing for decriminalization" of prostitution." A previous pastor in the 1960’s, Howard A. Moody, wrote a book entitled Whose Killing the Church? which contained a chapter entitled "Towards a Religionless Church for a Secular World." In that chapter, this former JMC pastor gloried in the fact that JMC was now a totally "religionless" church, having fully completed the transition from Fundamentalist to moderate to now a completely secular modernism. Moody frankly declared that Judson Memorial Church made little distinction between believers, inquirers and non-believers in its membership, since its membership consisted of "Christians, agnostics, atheists," and persons of both "faith and non-faith." The spiritual travesty of all the above abhorable apostasy and unbelief is that the Judson Memorial Church was originally known as the Judson Memorial Baptist Church and that it was established in the 1890’s era as a memorial tribute to the great Baptist missionary pioneer Adoniram Judson, with Edward B. Judson, one of Adoniram’s Judson’s sons as its first and founding pastor. The F. D. editor has in his possession an original bulletin (not a copy) of the dedication service when the cornerstone was laid by Edward B. Judson for the erection of the church’s edifice on June 30, 1890. The sermon on that occasion was delivered by George Dana Boardman [GDB] a well known Bible expositor who was Adoniram Judson’s stepson, his mother being Sarah Boardman Judson, Judson’s second wife from 1834-1845 and his father being George Dana Boardman Sr. who died in Burma in 1831 after ministering for five years to the pagan Karen tribe. This editor also has a copy of a book GDB wrote on "the Model Prayer" of Christ, a collection of expository studies GDB gave on the Matthew six passage by Christ. According to the JMBC bulletin, the metal box placed in the cornerstone contained copies of the Bible translated into Burmese by Adoniram Judson, various Burmese Gospel tracts, as well as a copy of the biography of Judson written by his son, Edward B. Judson, the pastor of the JMBC church. The bulletin states that the JMBC edifice was being erected in New York City, so that the multitudes of foreign nationalities who come to "the metropolis of the world" in NYC would know something about the "first American who carried the message of the gospel to the foreign parts." What a spiritual heartbreak that the gospel’s missionary message this historic edifice was supposed to commemorate has been obliterated for decades in that structure. To keep local N. T. spiritual lighthouses burning bright, the battle for the defense of the faith once delivered to the saints in the inerrant Scriptures must be waged continually, without any abatement, along with an evangelistic fervor since "it takes evangelistic unction to make orthodoxy function." The believer’s Scriptural sword (Eph. 6:17, Heb. 4:12) has two sides one for the defense of the faith (Jude 3) and the other for the dissemination of the faith (II Cor. 5:14). DJ |
