An
Open Letter to Bristol Palin March 2009
Be silent, Bristol.
Only fools and youth dare to argue with God.
Only fools and youth speak when they should be silent. Unfortunately, fools and youth act similarly at times.
For example, fools and youth speak when they should be silent.
The fool speaks out of stupidity and thoughtlessness. The youth
speaks out of vanity and foolishness. Both the fool and the youth speak
out because they have too high an opinion of their notions.
Both the fool and the youth are guilty of foolery – foolish
behavior or speech. In other
words, the fool and the youth are both guilty of speaking when they should
be silent. Be silent, Bristol Palin. A young woman clothed in shame should not sit on national television and justify her fornication.
A repentant young woman mourns her sin with weeping and wailing, and sits in sackcloth and ashes.
A repentant young woman goes before the Lord and seeks reconciliation.
A rebellious young woman goes before the nation and seeks justification.
Fools and youth have the audacity to pretend to have accurate knowledge
of matters of which they are ignorant. Specifically, youth have the audacity to pretend
to have accurate knowledge about sex, but the truth is they are ignorant
about it. First, youth cannot discern the difference between lust and love.
Second, youth argue more to feelings and passions rather than reason and
sound judgment. Third, youth base their arguments on experience rather than the law of
nature and the Law of God. Because of limited and inferior knowledge, a youth should listen and
learn. Listen, Bristol, feeling sexual desire is a sign of physiological growth
and should not be confused with full maturity.
Full maturity is multi-level:
physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional.
Physical maturity is reached before the other three. Clearly, all four
levels must be reached before a young person reaches full maturity.
A youth is a young person who is between childhood and maturity. Notice that a youth is between childhood and maturity. When a youth reaches full maturity, he or she is fully developed as evidenced by responsible behavior as a result of sound judgment.
Above
all, a mature person bases arguments on facts, not opinion.
Bristol, your case that sexual purity is “not realistic at all”
is based merely on your experience.
Your experience is the sole basis of your opinion that abstinence
is not realistic. What foolery! When you speak, speak the whole truth, not your opinion.
Your opinion based on your experience carries absolutely no weight
of authority. Let’s talk a minute about your opinion that sexual purity is “not
realistic at all.” Now let’s just hypothetically say that someday you
marry a good-looking man, and women are very attracted to your husband.
Would you say it is “not realistic at all” for your husband not
to commit adultery with these women?
After all, if we can’t control our sexual urges before marriage,
we can’t control our sexual urges after marriage. Right? So, if premarital
sex is justified, then extramarital sex is justified. Right?
Wrong! Yes, sexual desire is natural and lawful. But, according to God’s Law, it is only lawful in marriage.
Advocating teen birth control and fornication is not being bold and
independent. Advocating teen
birth control and fornication is acting headstrong and rebellious.
A young woman who rebels against sexual purity is not a maverick or
individualist or independent thinker.
A young woman who rebels against sexual purity is a fool, a rebel,
and a sinner. Unquestionably, the sinner is defying God’s authority. Sex before marriage is fornication. According to God’s Law, our primary source for righteous living, fornication is a sin. And God’s Law, as clearly expressed in the Bible, condemns fornicators: they shall not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10). In other words, fornicators will be judged, found guilty, and sentenced to hell (Revelation 20:11-15). Yes, this is the Law of God as recorded in God’s Word – the Bible.
On Judgment
Day, we will all stand before the throne of God and the books will be
opened, including the Book of Life, and we will be judged out of those
things which were written in the books, according to our works.
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire" (Rev. 20:21). To illustrate: Let’s say
you plead your cause for fornication on Judgment Day. Your argument is that your fornication is justified because
sexual purity is “not realistic at all.” You have absolutely no Law
– no Scriptures – to support your weak argument, Bristol. You plead your cause based solely on your experience. Now imagine if you went into a court of law and argued your case based on experience, totally ignoring the law. You would be severely reprimanded by the judge. Our actions are judged by the law. And God’s Law supersedes man’s law. And God’s Law supersedes our opinion. And God’s Law supersedes our experience.
Just
as in a civil or criminal court of law, on Judgment Day our actions will we judged
according to the Law – God’s Law.
In fact, Christ lived among us to teach and preach and be an example of
holy living
according to God’s Law. Holy
living reflects the highest moral standards as clearly expressed in the
Bible. Because Christ represents the highest moral standards - God’s
Law - Christians must reflect the highest moral standards.
And
we are warned in the Book of Matthew about those who profess a love of
God, but their actions prove the contrary.
Christ warns us, “Not
every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven”
(Matthew 7: 21). Be silent, Bristol Palin. Listen. You are eighteen years old, beyond the age of accountability.
Listen to the following carefully and prayerfully:
Now you are clothed in the filthiness of sin.
You are morally unclean and impure. But you can be cleansed and be
clothed in the white robe of righteousness.
Repent, Bristol. Again,
repent and be cleansed and purified.
Revelation 3:4-6 gives us the blessed assurance that those who overcome
their sin: 1) Shall
be clothed in white raiment 2)
Have their name in the Book of Life 3)
Jesus will be their advocate before God the Father and before His angels Bristol, this is the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the
gospel. This is the gospel Truth. Bristol, a repentant young woman mourns her sin with weeping and wailing, and sits in sackcloth and ashes. In other words, a young woman that truly repents of her sin has a spirit of humility.
A repentant young woman goes before the Lord and seeks reconciliation.
A rebellious young woman goes before the nation and seeks justification.
Humble yourself before the Lord, Bristol. Faithfully serving our Lord Jesus Christ,
