Kills Innocent Babies -- by Jordan

Let me get this straight you supposedly are a christian and love god, but think that supporting planned parenthood which kills innocent babies and sterilizes sex is a good thing that god approves?

Only God is the Life Giver -- by Marta

To Jordan Signor: I never heard her say that. No one can say what God approves or not. Quit talking for Him. In the scriptures we are told to love each other and to look at the beam in our eye and not at the mote is somebody else's. Also with the same measure we judge others, we will be judged, and furthermore, that who is without fault, throw the first stone.

Only God is the life giver. Not you, or any other person. He never said to persecute each other. Our collective wisdom dictates to allow everybody to have their own choice. If you want to be a real Christian, look after the poor, the needy and the sick.

Why we did NOTHING -- by Kelly

A real Christian looks after the poorest and most vulnerable among us... the unborn~ who have no voice. Thou shall not kill... what part of that don't you understand?

But you all think it's perfectly peachy to kill babies... but find it horrific when someone kills Kindergarteners...hypocrites! God will judge us all... and will ask US why we did NOTHING to stop the slaughter of innocent babies!

Every Abortion is a Tragedy -- by Marta

Tragedies will always happen. The real test is how you behave in the face of tragedy. That is when you are called to show how well you understand how to be a Christian. Every abortion is a tragedy. Are you called to persecute the sinner or to forgive?

Please don't assume what God will say. His commands are in the Bible. LOVE and FORGIVE. Take care of the daughters of God who for reasons that WE DON"T KNOW have made the unfortunate choice of abortion.

Jesus does not Hate -- by Marta

Jesus does not hate. He understands everything and everybody, and although I don't know what His judgments will be, I trust Him to take care of us. All of us. No exceptions. In the mean time, I will do my best to follow His teachings. Compassion, love, forgiveness. Never hate, condemnation or persecution. While you are at it, make sure you are also for abolishing the death penalty. Many innocent people have been killed through wrong convictions.

Just to clarify, I am anti-abortion and also pro-choice. Life is complex.

Where God Clearly Spoke About Abortion? -- by Mo

Jordan -- Given your position that abortion is evil, never justified, apparently the most important political issue to you and your advice that we read the good book --

Surely you can show us where God clearly spoke about abortion. Please point us to the verse.

If you can't, it is appalling that you take such an inflexible position on the issue and are so quick to condemn others.

Abortions have happened from the beginning of time -- even in Old Testament times as well as New Testament times.

So, surely if God feels as strongly on the issue as you say -- He would have clearly spoken in His Word about it.

Again, I call on you to point out the chapter and verse where God addresses the issue of abortion.

I do NOT care about your interpretation of verses that can be taken various ways to be talking about all sorts of things.

What I want is to hear clearly and directly from God on the topic of abortion.

If you are unable to present that -- then I am sad for you. Because, there are so many other issues that God has spoken clearly about that you apparently oppose Him on.

Kelly -- I'd like to hear from you as well on this.

Killing the Unborn is BARBARIC... -- by Kelly

Thou shall not kill... if you can't see that then you have some serious issues. Killing the unborn is BARBARIC... I thought we were a civilized society. Guess not if people can justify killing babies...

I'm sure you won't like this 'answer' either: Though we don’t find the word abortion mentioned in any biblical text, we can deduce from Scripture, not to mention natural law, reason, Church teaching, and patristic witness that abortion is intrinsically evil. On abortion, consider these Scripture passages: Job 10:8, Psalms 22:9-10, Psalms 139:13-15, Isaiah 44:2, and Luke 1:41.

In addition:

Genesis 16:11: Behold, said he, thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Ismael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.

Genesis 25:21-22: And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive. But the children struggled in her womb...

Hosea 12:3: In the womb he supplanted his brother, and as a man he contended with God.

Romans 9:10-11: But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of Isaac our father. For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand) . . .

The truth that these verses tell is that life begins at conception. Rebekah conceived a child—not what would be or could be a child. Note James 2:26: ". . . a body apart from the spirit is dead. . ." Since the soul is the principle which gives life to the body, then a child carried in the womb of its mother has a soul because it is alive. To kill it is murder.

You Conscience of your Error -- by Jordan

If you think that abortion is killing then I guess we are at an impasse and there is no point in trying to convince you. I pray that god will have mercy on your soul and that the holy spirit convict you conscience of your error.

God wants us to kill Babies? ....really? -- by Kelly

The question is: Do you really think God wants us to kill babies? ....really? Women deserve better.

What About Killing People in War? -- by Mo

Given your position, don't you even think about why the issue is not even addressed in the bible. You quote various things you choose to interpret variously. For instance

"Thou shall not kill"

What about killing people in war? What about if one is attacked? Look, if you can't see the weakness in your position, then we're wasting our time. Believe whatever you want.
