Hillsong Pastor Carl Lentz Refuses to Say If Abortion is Sinful: “Live to Your Own Convictions”

Hillsong Pastor Carl Lentz Refuses to Say If Abortion is Sinful: “Live to Your Own Convictions”: Mega-church Pastor Carl Lentz is facing criticism this week for not defending unborn babies when he had the chance. Lentz, the pastor of the influential Hill



Pastor Carl Lentz is a Mega-church Pastor at Hillsong Church in New York City. Pastor Carl is Justin Bieber's Pastor. Probably the biggest pressure for a lot of Christians is defending their beliefs. A lot of Christians go through being ridiculed when they are dealing with people who are not Christians. Some Christians work secular jobs where there are mainly non-Christians on the workforce with them. When you are a Pastor of a Mega-church or a small church to me it's not hard to stand up and tell your congregation that you are for Life and that you are for Traditional Marriage (Marriage between a man and a woman). Pastor Carl was questioned hard on his views on Abortion and Same-sex marriage and instead of answering the question he steered away from answering the women on The View. Pastor Carl feels that his church is not to judge people who want to have an abortion or not. It's all about getting to know people and if they believe in Jesus Christ or if they want to be saved and who want to know how to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Pastor Carl saw that as a loaded question that the women were asking him. Sadly, there are Pastors like Pastor Carl that steer away from questions like abortion and same-sex marriage because they don't want to offend those people who are pro-choice or who are for same-sex marriage. The problem with Pastors that think like that is that Christians is often persecuted because of their pro-life and traditional marriage stance that they are being ridiculed, disrespected, and even silenced by liberals who believe that people should agree or believe like they believe or else the liberals are the ones who are being discriminated against. The media look for Christians to mess up so they can say, "You messed up and you shouldn't judge others who mess up." We all mess up but the one thing about it is we all can repent of our sins by getting on our knees and asking God to forgive us. We as Christians is not to judge the sinner for what he or she does, we are to love them. However, we can't condone their lifestyle and act like what they do is right when we know it is wrong and not pleasing to God. The Bible says that abortion is murder, I'm not going to tell a woman who wants to abort her baby that it's her decision if she want to have her baby or abort her baby because I'm not to judge her because only God is the only who can her on her decision to have an abortion. I would encourage her to have her baby and tell her that she should give her baby up for adoption if she didn't feel that she could provide for her baby. I'm not writing to preach, I just thought that Pastor Carl could have stood up and said that he is not for abortion like a lot of Pastors who are preachers at mega churches and small churches speak out against abortion and homosexuality because those are sins. My 2 Cents.
