You be the judge:

If you're asking "does God want women to have abortions?" I believe the answer is 'no' - though he knows their circumstances and understands why some might choose that.
If you mean "allow" in the sense that he does not strike women dead with a thunderbolt, allows them to continue in their choice and then face any consequences afterwards; I believe the answer is 'yes' - same as any other sin. He gives us the ability and maturity to choose for ourselves - even when that means that we so against what he wants and hurt ourselves, and others, in the process.


Well I'm not American.
But if you are saying that Christians should obey a law that a - possibly non Christian - government has passed, because we should obey they state even when they go against God; I don't agree. But good luck if you decide to do that.

The abortion agenda was started by eugenicist devils like Margret Sanger and Helena Blavatsky in order to promote a more promiscuous society...one that can be controlled and duped easily.


I'm deeply disturbed at the influx of Pastor Anderson videos posted on this site. Anyone who tells his congregation not to pray for a homosexuals salvation, but to pray that they go to hell, should never ever be considered a person of spiritual authority.

This topic is altogether bizzare. Since when is the federal government commanding us to get abortions? This is not an imperial system as it was back in the apostles time. Peter specifically says to honor the emperor.

We however are in a democracy- which means we choose what the government does. We are supposed to be represented.

What an odd way to go about this argument.

I didn't find any limitations. Jesus obeyed Government and was crucified by them.
I'd say that is your natural limit, being crucified by the law.

No he didn't.
He obeyed God, did God's will, healed on the Sabbath, called the Pharisees out on their hypocrisy and other stuff, and they did not like him, nor his popularity.
Because Israel was an occupied nation, they had no authority to put anyone to death, so they had to get the Romans to do it - which is why they accused him of treason and speaking against Caesar.

God's plan to send Jesus to die for the sin of the world was put into effect before Creation, 1 Peter 1:20, and prophesied in the Garden of Eden, Genesis 3:15.
Jesus did not go meekly to his death because the government told him to. He knew what he was doing from the moment he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, if not before. It was all part of God's plan; prophesied by him.

Well, you have to be careful about how far you take those verses about obeying and submitting to the governing authorities. You quoted 1 Peter 2:13-17, where it says honor the emperor, yet we find in history Christians were brutally tortured and killed for refusing to burn incense to Caesar and calling him 'Lord,' because that is a form of idolatry. Are you telling me we should burn incense to Caesar and recognize him as 'Lord' because of this verse? I hope not.

In Nazi Germany it was required by law to report the presence of Jews to authorities. What do you suppose God thought about that institutional policy?!

You will be REQUIRED to break man's law when "The Mark of The Beast" arrives.

Revelation 13:16-17 KJV
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
-------
Revelation 19:20 KJV
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Anderson has some skewed doctrines, but some of the doctrines he teaches are pure Bible. Like with anyone, discernment is needed when listening to his preaching.

I hope that your conscience is not so seared that you think God approves of killing babies before they are born.

I will drop my quest to follow scripture if you desire that.
Don’t drop your quest to follow scripture, but please find the wisdom of which scriptures are contextually valid for which circumstance. God hates murder and violence, and so any law that legalizes the murder of children in the womb is not something God would ever ordain. Man on his own has decided to institute something so vile, and God is allowing it for a time so that iniquity can abound more and more upon the earth until the return of Christ.
However, you are making the assumption that just because God allows something to take place under the authority of an earthly government, that he sways and changes his mind upon what we must do in terms of what is righteous. God never changes his mind, neither changes his judgements. Murder is sin now just as it was when Cain killed Abel

You need to stop assuming that God is the author of evil.

About 50% of all Zygotes reach the stage of natural birth.
Becasue I already stand that God plans and controls
the path of each electron in the Cosmos, I already take the
position that God takes over half of all unborn already, according
to His will.

Do you desire to be thrown in The Lake of Fire? If not, you can not take the mark.

Paul makes an appeal to Roman law because he has been turned over to Roman law.

But in fact, if Paul had intended to obey Roman law, he would not have entered Philippi in the first place.
