Jeremiah Chapter 1. I believe talks about every single one of us in the symbolic aspect.

My favorite chapter.. you were made in womb before any one knew you....

God is our creator..we do not always understand His logic..because the psalmist says it is too lofty for us to attain..

As far as children being born into negative enviroments... I pose this thought to you...
It is not just the poor that neglect their children that only use drugs... this is a very bad image and misguided.. God is the one who chooses to give us life.. it is our decision what we do with it.. Right or Wrong..

God knows what is best for us, and in James he tells us he will not give us more than we can handle.. and he will not Allow us to be tempted beyond what we can handle..


Jeremiah 1.


God's Creation is good. Says God himself.

your brother in Christ.. David.

I wouldn't have an abortion (if I was a female or was with a woman who got pregnant)

I wouldn't want anyone I know to have an abortion...

But, I believe that it should be a legal right to have an abortion.

I think abortion for convenience or birth control is absolutely wrong. This is something I could never do.

I believe that abortion as an attempt to get out of a desperate situation (rape, incest, severe birth defects) is for God to judge, not me. I don't think I would have an abortion if I were in those situations.

I don't think it is wrong to have an abortion if the life of the mother is at risk or if the fetus has a condition incompatible with life. These are reasons I would consider abortion if they happened to me.

I was at school and this subject came up. EVERYONE in my class was for abortion except me. This is a college class of about 25 students. What is going on?

Am I wrong and thinking that abortion is wrong?

The majority is usually wrong. Broad is the way that leads to destruction . . .

Not only is abortion wrong, it should not be legalized either. This "What do you think, Mr. so-and-so" attitude is revolting. What does God say about it? We know that murder is wrong; why do we try to explain it away, as though it were not an abomination to Him? In the Old Testament, people died when they committed murder. I know that we are no longer under the Old Testament Law, and I'm not saying that women that have an abortion should be executed, or that they will go to Hell, but what is an abomination to God does not change.

what are you guys and or girls stand on the issue of abortion

In my view, there are three permissable occasions for abortion:
  • Rape
  • Incest
  • In cases where the mother's life is at risk

So, murder isn't always murder. It's okay to kill a baby if certain criteria are met. GOOD GRIEF!! Do you EVER read God's Word?

So you are saying the ones who do the excution are murderers, or what about the army men.

Im not against your pov, but I am going to test your reason.


The question is does the bible say to not kill or to not murder. It is do not murder, so killing is ok, as long as it is not murder, so defending yourself is not a sin. The problem is the doctor can say the mothers health is at risk in every precancy, becuase in every precancy, there is a chance, very small of death. Just like when walking their is a small chance of falling and dieing.

How about simply stopping MURDER! I am not worried about "root causes" as much as I am about the innocent, helpless babies being MURDERED.

I understand. Blanket condemnation without any serious thought is easier than a rational analysis of the situation, and certainly easier than examining and trying to fix root causes, which might actually lead to less abortions.

Abortion is pretty terrible and I don't consider it "good", but it's not my place to make everyone conform to my beliefs.

practical definition of 'murder':

to take an action that directly results in the end of a life

The question is, when is murder okay?

Kill: To put to death; To deprive of life.

Murder: The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.

"Lawful" is not decided by society, but by God. According to this definition from www.dictionary.com, abortion is murder in God's eyes. And, by the way, God said to put murderers to death.

Genesis 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

The same thing outlawing murder accomplishes.

If you can't take care of a kid, set it up for adoption; don't kill a child because you can't take care of it.

Technically, they are not. And besides, we eat the whole chicken anyway, even if eating the eggs were an issue.

Roofles. Prove how abortion has the same effects on society as murder does.
Most liberals pushing for continued (?)abortion legalization admit that abortion is wrong. Their scruple comes with the thought that they are pushing their morals onto society. So, with this in mind, why don't we legalize murder?

Gen. 1:26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Gen. 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
