It is a word from the pre-Christian Greek world.  And it is a window in the barbarism of that world.  The titular word – “ekthesis” – is defined by Liddell and Scott in their classic Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon<\/em> (seven editions as of 1975) as follows:  “a putting out, exposing, of a child” – and the reference for the definition is to the esteemed authors of the times,  Herodotus and Euripedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These luminaries of that pagan world apparently did not blush as they spoke and wrote about their environment – their “culture” – using such terms.  Herodotus and Euripedes were blind.  They had no revelation from God.  They followed their own dark hearts, as many-a fool pop singer today urges his fans so to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh pagans of our modern and would-be enlightened times!  What can you say about your tolerance of such barbarism today?  You have such baby butchery occurring daily in all of your fifty states!  Because SCOTUS – those fools who would rule above God Himself – decreed it so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh idiocy!\u00a0 To bow to such blasphemy!\u00a0 To submit to such “law” which has no moral legitimacy and commands no respect or submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slaves.\u00a0 Buffoons.\u00a0 Evidently few Americans<\/em> who dwell in this formerly honorable country have their heads on straight. \u00a0There is much to be done.\u00a0 Never was there such a cause for revolution.\u00a0 But who, where, and when might it take place?\u00a0 We need a solution. We need salvation.\u00a0 And it is not to be found on the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look to the Law of God.  Mind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
