________________
Death in the City, The God Who Is There, He Is There and He is Not Silent: many of us
remember the spiritual and intellectual excitement that came with reading those books
and seeing how clearly the Bible alone has a consistent world and life view. Truth,
absolute Truth, rooted in the person and character of God, was what we needed. We
discovered that God’s “divine power has given us everything we need for the life and
godliness” including intellectually-satisfying answers to basic questions of life.
Our starting point is the holy and righteous Creator of the Universe, the gracious God
who became Man in the Person of Jesus Christ and redeemed us from our sins, giving us
assurance of eternal life. With that came the promise of significance and meaning in life.
We are all significant, meaningful people because we were created in the very image of
God Himself. It was Francis and Edith Schaeffer who pointed these things out in such a
clear and intellectually honest fashion to my generation. It was he, too, who spoke
forcefully of the inadequacy of an orthodox, Biblical theology, without also a Biblical
life-style, one which exhibited the compassion and servant-hood of our Lord. Show us the
power of the Living God in our lives, he challenged a generation of young people, and
their teachers as well.
It is time for a reminder of those Biblical truths and it is time to introduce a new
generation to those great truths. We must echo Psalm 33:11: “The plans of the Lord stand
firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.”
A Flow to History
History is linear; it is not cyclical. There is a flow to history that shows a continuity from
before the beginning when God the Trinity communicated and planned the creation of
man in His image, giving man a true volition. God, in effect, told Adam and Eve:
“Believe Me and stand in your place as a creature, not as one who is autonomous. Believe
Me and love Me as a creature to his Creator, and all will be well. This is the place for
which I have made you.

Created in the Image of God, but Fallen
But Adam and Eve rebelled against their Creator, opening the door to the catastrophe of
human history: a broken relationship with God, with each other in human society, and
within themselves. The effects of the Fall on human history were enormous but they did
not change the continuity of history which is rooted in eternity past and continues through
both advents of Christ into eternity future when the original creation will be restored to
God’s original design. God created immortal human beings. “Watch a man as he dies.
Five minutes later he still exists. There is no such thing as stopping the existence of man.
He still goes on. By the Fall man has not lost his being as a human being. He has not lost
those things which he intrinsically is as a man. He has not become an animal or a
machine. I live in a personal world, and God is dealing with me not for a few short years
but forever. And I can make different value judgments as I look at the world because I
understand that reality does not exist only between birth and death. A personal God is
acting in a true history that goes on forever.” Man qua man in human history reflects the
image of God in the way he was made and in the way he acts. Inevitably human beings
fulfill the cultural mandate to subdue and have dominion over God’s creation even if all
the while professing themselves to be autonomous and independent of God. The human
predicament is a moral problem; it is not metaphysical.
Not everything that happens in the world is “natural”… Everything in history
is not equally “normal”. Because of the abnormality brought about by man,
not everything which occurs in history should be there. Thus, not all that
history brings forth is right just because it happens, and not all personal drives
and motives are equally good. It is possible for Christians to speak of things
as absolutely wrong, for they are not original in human society, but are
derived from the Fall. They are in that sense ‘abnormal’. We can stand against
what is wrong and cruel without standing against God, for He did not make
the world as it now is.
God is Sovereign
History is one. There has been but one history: that which has actually happened as
opposed to what might have happened or what could have happened. Contingency,
though, is no problem in the Biblical system of thought and historical explanation. The
modalities of life are in the hands of the sovereign God who does all things after the
counsel of His own will. The First Cause is always the Sovereign Creator God of the
Universe and no man can stay His hand or say, “What doest thou?” Nevertheless within
the limitations of God’s sovereign decrees, plans, and purposes, human beings have the
incredible ability “to affect the external form of the universe”. Whether we plant a flower,
write a book, build a city, or destroy a civilization, man in the image of God has created
and built, alleviated suffering or brutalized his contemporaries. But he is always limited
and controlled by the sovereign God who controls the fullness of time and the historical
context wherein man acts. “If”, Jesus said, “the mighty works” done in Capernaum had

been done in Sodom, the Sodomites would have repented and “it would have remained to
Jesus’ day.”
One Reality
In both history and life there is but “one reality”. The “supernatural” and the “natural” are
both part of what is. They are not separate realms. The unseen invisible spiritual world is
here in human time/space history. When Elisha was surrounded by Syrian troops, God
opened the eyes of his servant so that he could see what was already there: “the mountain
was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha”. That was why Elisha had told
his servant, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with
them.” (II Kings 6:15-17) The New Testament echoes that passage with almost identical
words: “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is
He who is in you than he who is in the world.” (I John 4:4)
When Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, they were not
in another realm but on the very same mountain that Jesus and the disciples climbed in
Palestine. Jesus was glorified in a shining light in this world. When they came down from
the mount, time has passed: it was “the next day” (Luke 9:37). There is no platonic view
of reality and time stopping in a different realm, but simply the sequence of events within
a single reality. Dividing “’realms” into spiritual and natural categories does not separate
them into two realities. There is but one reality, that which actually exists and exists
coterminously.
After Jesus was glorified and appeared on this earth for forty days, his disciples touched
him, saw him, ate with him. When Jesus ascended, “it was at an hour of the day, on a day
of the calendar. There was a moment when His feet left the Mount of Olives.” And there
will be a day in the history of the world when He returns to stand at the identical
geographical location.
The apostle Paul saw the risen Lord on the Damascus Road. It was at midday in the desert
and the light of Christ’s glory was so brilliant that Paul was physically blinded by it. Not
only so; he heard a voice speaking to him in the Hebrew tongue.
Jesus appeared…. speaking in a normal language, using normal words and
normal grammar, to a man named Saul. With this, there is a complete denial
of the twentieth-century projection of these things into a religiously ‘other’
world. Here we are in the realm of space, time, history, normal
communication, and normal language.
Open System
In a word, the Biblical philosophy of history is an “open system” in which the
supernatural is just as much a part of reality as the “natural phenomenon” of everyday

life. It is simply not a closed, naturalistic system. This was a point Schaeffer made again
and again.
Perspective Point of History
The perspective point of history is the incarnation and work of Christ in this world. Even
before the foundation of the world the direction of history was towards the coming of
Christ in His first advent. The victory Jesus brought over sin, death, and hell has given
meaning and purpose to life and history ever since. It is still our perspective point while
we await His second advent, when the original creation will be restored in a new creation
in eternity future.
History to modern man is absurd, Schaeffer concluded, because he has no perspective
point and no absolutes by which to judge history. His starting point is wrong and that has
thrown off all his calculations. He starts with puny, finite, flawed, limited man and every
extension from himself leads only down a blind alley. He looks at the form of the
universe: it is “obviously not just a handful of pebbles thrown out there”. Where did it
come from? Why does it have form – and such a beautiful, spectacularly complex form?
If one begins with an impersonal universe, there is no explanation of the existence of
personality and man himself gets lost in the assumption of the eternality of matter.
“Give up creation and space-time historic reality and all that is left is uncreatedness. It is
not that something does not exist, but that it just stands there, autonomous to itself,
without solutions and without answers… Modern man’s [despair] rests primarily upon his
losing the reality of the createdness of all things except the personal God who always has
been.” All of these things, of course, have enormous significance for the study of history:
how can we study “human” history without knowing who man is or where he came from
or what his essential nature is.
Schaeffer, of course, found in the Bible and in traditional Biblical theology the
explanation for the historical “problem of evil” in the world. In the Biblical system
Schaeffer found that man and woman were created flawless without moral impediment
but with genuine volition which could say “no” to God as well as “yes”. When they did
just that, sin entered the world and death by sin and so the evils of history passed upon
all.
Judgment of God
And with sin came the judgment of God. In his forceful exposition of Romans chapter
one Schaeffer commented that man became foolish in his reasonings. “He has accepted a
position that is intellectually foolish not only with regard to what the Bible says, but also
to what exits—the universe and its form and the nature of man. In turning away from God
and the truth which He has given, man has thus become foolish in regard to what man is
and what the universe is. He is left with a position with which he cannot live, and is

caught in a multitude of intellectual and personal tensions.”
In Death in the City Schaeffer described Romans one as referring not only to the original
fall, but also to a historical principle of the judgment of God against any nation or culture
that turns its back on God. And that judgment is not only in the eschatological future, but
is also here and now in the events of history. A nation which turns away from God has
forgotten that the chief end of man is to love God and to have fellowship with Him. And
in that forgetting the nation has forgotten the purpose of man made in the image of God—
to be in relationship to the God who is there. In whatever period of history the effect is
the same: man forgets his purpose and thus he forgets who he is and what life means.
The hand of God is down into our culture in judgment… Unlike Zeus, whom
men imagined hurling down great thunderbolts, God has turned away in
judgment as our generation turned away from Him, and He is allowing cause
and effect to take its course in history.
“God can bring His judgment in one of two ways: either by direct intervention in history
or by the turning of the wheels of history.”
The Reformation brought “the wonderful gift of freedom… a balance of form and
freedom in state and society. Yet once we turn away from the Christian base, it is this
very freedom, now as a freedom without form, that brings a judgment upon us in the
turning of the wheels of history… There is death in the polis, there is death in the city!”
History is not mechanical. God works into history on the basis of His
character. Israel was carried off into Babylonian captivity not just for military
or economic reasons, but because a holy God had judged them because they
had turned away from Him. He will do the same in our generation. That’s part
of the reality of history.
God, History, and Evangelism
Schaeffer saw God’s sovereign actions in evangelism as an example of how God acts in
history.
There is no chance back of God, but history has real meaning. In Christianity, cause and
effect in space-time history has real meaning. The rational moral creatures whom God
created (of whom we know two classes—angels and men) influence history by choice. In
twentieth century terms, man is not programmed… Even nonpersonal elements of God’s
creation have a significance in history on their own level. The wind is the cause that
blows down the tree. In other words, mechanical cause and effect is significant in history,
and on another level, moral and rational creatures are significant in history by choice…
The marvel is that God created a universe with significance, that the things He created
have significance.

God, having created history, acts into history. It is not that history has no
meaning to God; it is not as though He is suspended above it… God acts into
history at every given moment in such a way that He respects its being there;
that is, He acts into it truly.
Schaeffer saw those same historical principles involved in election, evangelism, and
eternal salvation.
There is no chance back of God… What this means since the Fall is that when man
accepts Christ as Savior, there is a work of the Holy Spirit, yet man is not simply a zero;
there is a conscious side to justification.
If we fail to see that there is a conscious side to justification, we soon come to
the place where we must say that either the gospel is not universally offered
or that man is a zero. But neither is the case. The Bible makes very plain that
the gospel is universally offered and that man is significant…
Magnificence of Man
One of Schaeffer’s most memorable characteristics was his emphasis on the glory and
creativity of men and women created in the very image of God Himself and made not
only for their creator but for each other. God gave them an inner drive to produce and
create and to seek beauty and truth. Art, music, and literature reflect not only the
fallenness of man, but also the image of God in man and woman. Throughout history
human beings have fulfilled the Cultural Mandate even when they were not consciously
obeying God.
Eternity Future
The culmination of history centers around the return of Christ to this earth. Francis
Schaeffer was pre-millennial in his eschatology.
True Christians, those who have put their faith in Christ as Savior, shall be caught up to
meet Christ in the air and then come with Him. It is at this time that the bodies of
Christians who have died will be raised from the dead and that living Christians will be
glorified in a twinkling of an eye.
Before Christ’s coming visibly and in glory with His saints, there will be a period of great
apostasy with a dictator, called the “Antichrist”, ruling the world… He will control
governmental and economic life and will be worshiped as god.”
Christ will return visibly and in glory. “He overthrows the assembled might of the world
organized against Him by the Antichrist and Satan. This is the battle of Armageddon on
the plain of Megiddo in Palestine. Christ rules the earth for a thousand years….”

“There will be a new Heaven, a new earth, and a heavenly city. It is definite so that
Revelation 21-22 states the size of the heavenly city, that from which it is constructed,
that from which its foundations, gates, and streets are made. It is an objective reality. It is
eternal – forever and ever, without end.” So human history has a continuity from eternity
past to eternity future, controlled sovereignly by God Himself.

Pictured with Ronald Reagan above.

On 2-25-13 we lost a great man when we lost Dr. C. Everett Koop. I have written over and over the last few years quoting Dr. C. Everett Koop and his good friend Francis Schaeffer. They both came together for the first time in 1973 when Dr. Koop operated on Schaeffer’s daughter and as a result they became close friends. That led to their involvement together in the book and film series “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE?” in 1979.

A Physician Speaks About Abortion

This chapter was written by the former Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. C. Everett Koop.

Abortion [killing infants before birth], infanticide [killing infants after birth], and euthanasia [killing adults] stand before us like dominoes; the first to fall has been abortion on demand. It is a grave issue. Nothing like it has separated our society since the days of slavery.

It simply isn’t true. Abortions in the United States for rape, incest, to protect the life of the mother, or to void a defective fetus comprise less than five percent of all abortions. The rest are performed just for convenience. And we’re talking about one million abortions a year.

Rape practically never results in pregnancy. Studies in Pennsylvania and Minnesota concerning rape and pregnancy show that as many as five thousand rapes have occurred successively without a single pregnancy . .

Most people do not know that the younger the mother is the more likely she will suffer sterility later if she has an abortion. Studies in Canada indicate that sterility is as high as thirty percent among women fifteen to seventeen years old who have had abortions . .

Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. In my thirty-six years in pediatric surgery I have never known of one instance where the child had to be be aborted to save the mother’s life.

When a woman is pregnant, her obstetrician takes on the care of two patients—the mother-to-be and the unborn baby. If, toward the end of the pregnancy complications arise that threaten the mother’s health, he will take the child by inducing labor or performing a Caesarian section.

His intention is still to save the life of both the mother and the baby. The baby will be premature . . The baby is never willfully destroyed because the mother’s life is in danger.

Infanticide was the second domino, and it fell very silently. Unless you know someone who talks about his work in an intensive care unit for newborns, there is no way the public would know about this. Abortion is legal. Infanticide is murder.

It is still illegal in every state in the union; yet for some reason when a newborn baby is starved or in some other way allowed to die, the law turns its back. It isn’t that the law doesn’t know about it because reputable medical journals publish papers where authors acknowledge that they have engineered the deaths of babies under their care . .

Corruptive forces are exerting an influence on medical men and women in this country. Some obstetricians admit that they abort because the patient wants them to, even if it is not medically required . .

Zoologists and biologists say life is a continuum from fertilization until the death of the organism, whether earthworm or baboon or fox or pigeon. Is it different for man?

We’re just smoke-screened to death.

The medical profession must not let itself be pushed by society and by our social planners into the role of social executioner. For as the medical person becomes an abortionist, he becomes the social executioner of the unborn.

As he allows infanticide in his intensive care unit, he becomes the social executioner of the newly born. In days ahead, he may well be required to commit euthanasia and become the executioner of the elderly.

“Parental rights are [now legally] gone. Spousal rights [of the husband] are gone. The rights of the child are gone. Legally, a minor child may now have an abortion without her parents’ knowledge; but, technically, she cannot have her ears pierced for earrings without parental consent.

Abortion is an atrocity changing the whole thought process of our country. More than a million unborn lives a year cannot be violently terminated without taking its toll on us as a nation.

Japan has records of more than fifty million legal abortions since World War II. That country is less than one percent Christian. Here in America we will destroy a larger number than that in the same amount of time, and we’re supposed to be a Christian country.

I have spent thirty-six years in the practice of pediatric [infant and child] surgery, longer than anybody else now practicing in this country . .

Some raise Exodus 21 as a proof text that God doesn’t regard the unborn child in the same way as He does the newly born child. But if you read the text carefully, you will find it says that if a man in an argument with another man accidentally strikes a woman and she has a premature birth, there is to be a fine. Nothing here is premeditated.

But if any further mischief is done—and I take that to mean a deformity of the baby or the death of the baby—then the old law applies of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Francis Schaeffer checked the exegesis [meaning] of these verses with five Hebrew scholars and was convinced that God means just that, and in no way does He mean to down-grade the worth of the unborn child.

The story of the incarnation leaves no room for doubt. The angel told Joseph, “That which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.” From the moment of conception God had entered human life. The soul that I am has also existed from the moment of conception . .

I have always been interested in the fact that when the preborn John the Baptist leaped in Elizabeth’s womb because of the presence of the Lord in Mary’s womb (Luke 1:41,44), He—the Lord—was a very tiny baby. [John was six months older than Jesus, and already well-enough developed for vigorous movement.] He would not have been discernible as an individual at that time, but He certainly was a Person.

Our churches must get educated. That means they’ve got to find somebody who can talk to them about the origin of life. Many of our people don’t realize that by the twenty-first day—before most women even know they are pregnant—the baby’s heart demonstrates its first feeble beats.

By the sixth week the adrenal gland and the thyroid are functioning. A child’s fingerprints are indelibly in place by the twelfth week. Abortion kills a developing human being! No matter how old or how large the organism is when he/she leaves the womb, that emergence—by whatever means—is still a birth. .

An orthodox Jewish law student gave up a year of his time at Boston University to go to Akron [Ohio) to fight legislation through the courts. He sought passage of an ordinance requiring that a woman know what the unborn child she is aborting looks like by having the physician show her a picture of a fetus of the same gestation [age] he thinks her child is.

The ordinance passed. It also asked that the woman not have the abortion until twenty-four or forty-eight hours have gone by after she has signed the papers for operative permission.

But the pro-abortion forces do not want the pregnant woman to know what she is aborting and they don’t want her to have the time to think it over.

But this idea is contrary to everything happening in this country; there is a tremendous movement now for informed consent. Legally, if you bring a child to me for a hernia repair; I can’t tell you that he should be operated upon or even schedule him for admission unless I tell you all of the possible good and bad results from that hospitalization.

With abortion, the counseling is not done, and the clinics do not tell you about alternatives to abortion; but worse yet, the pro-abortion people get terribly upset if somebody pushes for informed consent . .

I believe that infanticide, now practiced illegally behind closed doors, will become legal and eventually, for certain types of deformity, may become mandatory.

I believe that through the Living-Will, passive euthanasia will become so much a part of our culture that after we’ve had it for five years or so we will adopt active euthanasia.

So, what will be next? The parallels that can be drawn between Germany with its holocaust and America here and now are frightening. We are too close to the abyss. We are right at the edge.”—C. Everett Koop, M. D., as told to Dick Bohrer, in “Moody Monthly,” May, 1980. Reprinted by permission.

_______________

In the film series “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE?” the arguments are presented  against abortion (Episode 1),  infanticide (Episode 2),   euthenasia (Episode 3), and then there is a discussion of the Christian versus Humanist worldview concerning the issue of “the basis for human dignity” in Episode 4 and then in the last episode a close look at the truth claims of the Bible.

In this 1979 film series they dealt with the big social issues and predicted what social problems we have in the future because of humanism. For instance, they knew that the Jack Kevorkians of the world would be coming down the pike. They predicted that there was a slippery slope from abortion to infanticide to youth euthanasia brought on by the materialistic worldview.

Dr. C. Everett Koop is pictured above.

Jim Lehrer interviewed Koop for a newsmaker conversation for the The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour from the surgeon general’s office in Washington on Jan. 11, 1989. Koop died Monday at the age of 96.

Dr. C. Everett Koop was appointed to the Reagan administration but was held up in the Senate in his confirmation hearings by Ted Kennedy because of his work in pro-life causes.

On 2-25-13 we lost a great man when we lost Dr. C. Everett Koop. I have written over and over the last few years quoting Dr. C. Everett Koop and his good friend Francis Schaeffer. They both came together for the first time in 1973 when Dr. Koop operated on Schaeffer’s daughter and as a result they became close friends. That led to their involvement together in the book and film series “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE?” in 1979.

In Memoriam: C. Everett Koop

March 04, 2013

Amidst all of the (entirely proper) agitation about the unusual act of resignation by Pope Benedict XVI, we should not forget another most significant passage. Dr. C. Everett Koop, known affectionately as “Chick,” went to be with his Lord February 25, 2013, at the age of 96. Our hearts go out to his family. He is survived by his wife, Cora Hogue Koop, a friend of many of ours, (his first wife, Elizabeth, predeceased him by 13 years), and by his three children, Allen, Norman and Elizabeth (his son David died tragically in a mountain-climbing accident while still in college). He has eight grandchildren as well.

Dr. Koop was a distinguished pediatric surgeon in Philadelphia at Children’s Hospital, serving as surgeon-in-chief at “CHOP” from 1946 to 1981. He was then appointed Surgeon General under President Ronald Reagan. While his confirmation hearings were long and difficult, in the end he passed rather easily, mostly because of his palpable integrity. During his eight years of public service he became a household name. Hitherto the Surgeon General was not a high-profile position. All that changed under Everett Koop.

Koop was vehemently opposed to abortion on demand. Together with Francis Schaeffer, he produced a film and a book, Whatever Happened to the Human Race? The two warned against easy abortions, euthanasia and infanticide. Considered by many to be alarmist when published, time has proven them all too realistic. Of the practice of medicine, Koop once remarked: “Perhaps more than the law, I fear the attitude of our profession in sanctioning infanticide and in moving inexorably down the road from abortion to infanticide, to the destruction of a child who is socially embarrassing, to you-name-it.” At the same time, Koop refused to use his office as a bully pulpit for the abolition of abortion.

The two campaigns which gained him renown were his outspoken drives against smoking, and against the HIV-AIDS epidemic. Of tobacco’s harm, he famously described how smoking killed 100,000 Americans each year, and how smoking a pack a day will take six years off a person’s life. For this he was fiercely opposed by the tobacco lobby. However, he stood his ground, and the number of smokers in America went from one third down to one quarter of the population. On AIDS, he was nearly alone in urging government to take a stronger stand against its ravages. It eventually came to its senses, and began to act.

Dr. Koop became a believer in Jesus Christ through the ministry of Tenth Presbyterian Church, while he was in Philadelphia. He was an elder there and great supporter of the church. He remained a staunch, Reformed evangelical throughout his life. As one might expect of a leader who had strong convictions, not everyone could agree with him or remain supportive. Many evangelicals were quite taken aback when he came out against testing for AIDS, and in favor of the use of condoms, and of sex education for children. They often forgot to read the fine print. Testing could easily ruin careers. And Koop’s first remedy against AIDS was faithfulness or abstinence. Only when a problem still remained would it be appropriate to curtail further damage with the use of contraceptives. He also angered pro-life conservatives when he found out through a careful study that properly performed abortions did not necessarily lead to mental or physical health problems for the mother, as many had loved to argue. (Needless to say, his stands on various matters do not necessarily represent any official view from Westminster Seminary.)

As a friend of mine from Tenth Presbyterian Church pointed out, busy though he was, Dr. Koop always had time for people. He was never, seemingly, in a rush to move on, but spent generous time counseling and advising whoever might ask.

In a day when so often evangelicals have become all-too-predictable, it is refreshing to remember Dr. Koop’s refusal to be co-opted by any one faction. In a day when evangelicals have very little representation in public places, it is good to remember how one man changed much of American society through his insistent pleading about threats to life and health. In a day when many figures will use just about any argument to support their cause, it is good to remember the honesty of a man who tried to be entirely fair to the views he opposed. May we see the likes of him again!

William Edgar, professor of Apologetics

In the film series “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE?” the arguments are presented  against abortion (Episode 1),  infanticide (Episode 2),   euthenasia (Episode 3), and then there is a discussion of the Christian versus Humanist worldview concerning the issue of “the basis for human dignity” in Episode 4 and then in the last episode a close look at the truth claims of the Bible.

In this 1979 film series they dealt with the big social issues and predicted what social problems we have in the future because of humanism. For instance, they knew that the Jack Kevorkians of the world would be coming down the pike. They predicted that there was a slippery slope from abortion to infanticide to youth euthanasia brought on by the materialistic worldview.

Dr. C. Everett Koop is pictured above.
