GOD THE BIBLE AND ABORTION

True Christians give great value to human life from conception until death. They know that God is the author of life and dare not place themselves in His position to decide if a newly conceived life should live or die. What follows are some key scriptures that make God's will evident in this regard.

     Killing the innocent finds it's origins in Satan. It is he that gave birth to the attitudes of arrogance that lead to taking away innocent lives. It is also he that hates human beings and would love to destroy every single one of them. It is the view of this author that atheists and others who support abortion are doing Satan's work.

John 8:44 -- You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

     God, on the other hand, values and protects life. Though he has the prerogative to end any life that He has made, no one else has the wisdom, or the right, to decide which human will live or die. To protect human life from arbitrary decisions to kill, God has, therefore, "commanded" that humans do not murder.

Exodus 20 -- “You shall not murder."

     Life in the womb was to be precious and to be protected. The seriousness of harming an unborn is shown in the next passage where we see that harm to an unborn was to be consequenced firmly, even if unpremeditated.
 

Exodus 21:22 -- “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

     If the taking of human life was premeditated, the consequence would have been the death penalty.

Numbers 35:31-- Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

     Life is a great gift. God gives children as blessings. This is the message that the scriptures emphasize continually.

Deuteronomy 7:13--And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

Psalm 127:3--Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Isaiah 44:2--Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
 

     Spontaneous abortion can be a curse which God has the prerogative of giving, if he deems appropriate.

Hosea 9:14--Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

      God is sovereign. God alone determines what is right and what is wrong. taking His place is a statement of great arrogance. The created must submit to the Creator not dare to stand in His place.

Romans 9:20--Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

     Unless repented of, murderers have only one thing to look forward to: eternal punishment.

Revelation 21:8--But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
