In the USA, but also in Germany and Austria, Christians have different opinions on the subject of abortion. Some give women the right to decide for themselves what feminists demand; others see abortion as murder, and aborted women and doctors as murderers.
But is it really just a "black and white thing"? Or is it a little more complicated?
Should a woman or girl who has been raped be forced to have a baby, or should she not be given the right to abortion, to avoid further psychological and physical harm?
And what is the mother of 8 children who can no longer feed any more children because the husband/partner has left?
And what about the woman who doesn't want children and where the anti-baby pill has failed?
I was told that the Bible (especially the Old Testament) condemns abortion. Only, the Bible was written more than 2,000 years ago, when people had little idea of pregnancy, contraception, and things like that, and where children were seen as possessions, cheap labor, and insurance for old age.
What is your opinion on this?
I want to address this question in my ignorance and disbelief. Like a fever is the result of an infection, abortion is the result of the work of the enemy of man in the world. just as cannibalism is wrong after the fact of murder, abortion happens at the second or third tier of wrongdoing. If abortion is the result of an unwanted pregnancy which is the result having sex for the wrong reason which is the result of replacing the joining of with the fulfilling of which is itself a rending of the social fabric of our society at the level of the individual and the family then abortion is the flowering body of a seed of corruption. The laws or lack thereof about abortions, now
and then, the need for said laws, the arguements the corrupted sex act and the abortion itself all disappear if we address the source of the tampering. For,
In that day you will realize, i am in you and you are in me and i am in the father.
Hosea 13 16.
the people of samaria must bear their guilt/ their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open. Lamentations 4 10
with their own hands compassionate women have cooked their own children. You cant accuse the woman aborter with wrongdoing, since the doctor is actually the abortist (do no harm?) but we, too are complicit b/c we told her we cant seem to stop (what she does/ why we do) or admit there is a problem. Just as homosexuality is a corrupted sex act. ( Love shall be the whole of the law, do as though wilt.) and shunning them for it denies christ in wrongdoers. Now, before you get mad, these legalistic arguments belong to our accuser, who we blame, and also praise;
But as for me and my house, we will serve the lord. The only caveat we have is; the woman, the doctor, you and me we are all oppressed and misled, just like those israelites who tore open those pregnant woman and burned those people alive were, who fought the wars of Jehovah so he could destroy them as well after christ could be born and be killed by those same laws saying; I
f the owner of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into- you are fully aware that the day of the lord will come like a thief in the night. The enemy of man wants to kill christ again, does it not say
he died for our iniquities and by his wounds we are healed,- let him hurry, let him act quickly so we may see it. but, fearfully enough, given our discussion- he says
for i will not drink again of this cup until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God. Many false prophets will come and claim i am he / then the end will come.
