The dream I had where no one would come help

[Lamb]

I read a friend's post on Facebook and then fell asleep not long after and the post must have stuck in my mind. The post was about how Christians insist they're Christians and refuse to call things that were traditionally sinful, no longer a sin. The list was pretty long in the post.

So my dream...I dreamed that there was a woman who had been skinned and she was hanging over a balcony and everyone knew who did it but they protected him. I was able to go back in time to try to change what had happened to the woman. I went into the house and spoke with the people beforehand. I went from room to room and even though they didn't admit it openly, they suggested who was the murderous one.

It was almost time for the murder to occur, and I went to try to stop the person doing it, but he locked me into a bathroom. I started yelling HELP HER! HELP HER!! And no one came to even let me out. I was able to break out and went into one of the bedrooms where there were two people and I told them what was about to happen. They said it was none of their business and for me to leave.

That's pretty much what the household felt, that even though evil was about to happen, it wasn't their business so I shouldn't say anything or stop it.

When I woke up, I knew that the post from online that listed a bunch of sins that people accept was on my mind. Abortion was the one that stood out the most and how Christians are being told it's not our business to interfere.

I don't know why I put this in Christian Advice. I guess I would ask you, do you feel that Christians should interfere?

Rough dream.

I think we should do what we can, recognizing at times we are in a position where we can't.

We must as Christians call sin sin. As for getting involved that is where the power of voting comes into play as many times we do not know who is doing what but when we do it is out duty to try to bring these people to the realization of what they are doing as we aqre led by the spirit.

Sometimes these situations are not just political. They are everyday decisions we make. And even in those, as I indicated in post #(2), we are not always in a position to do what we want to do.

I think of RIP Ford. Great Texan. Frontiersman, fought for the Confederacy, served as a scout after the war, etc. etc. etc. I had his biography but have lost it over the years. But I remember reading a certain incident he had to endure.

As a scout after the War, he was travelling with two or three Indian scouts also. Some of the Indian scouts that rode up ahead, came back and told him of a large Comanche party coming towards them. Ford and his scouts were heavily outnumbered.

The Indian scouts told Ford, 'we think we will be alright, but let us do the talking'. Then they warned him....'they have a white woman prisoner. If you try and help her, we are all dead'.

When the Comanches rode up, Ford saw the woman. She was the most horrible picture he had ever seen. He wanted to do something, but could do nothing. As his Indian scouts said, they talked their way out of it. But Ford had to live with that womans picture in his mind the rest of his life.

Ford said, I could do nothing to help that woman. But, he said, every Indian fight I got into after that, I had that womans face in my mind. And many an Indian died for it.
