Well, I guess all the Christian martyrs just got what they deserved then huh?I advocate they should have appeased the King to comply with God's will. We can't claim that they appeased God with civil disobedience. Based on the outcome, that's ludacris.
29 Therefore I issue a decree that anyone of any people, nation, or language who says anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be torn limb from limb and his house made a garbage dump.

A unborn baby is a living human being. It has all of the signature of both humanity and life. To take an innocent human life is murder. The law does not say anything about whether or not abortion is murder. Anyone who is honest and objective with the facts can admit that abortion is murder. Part of the problem is that we call it "abortion." That's a clinical term. The truth is that abortion is infanticide. It is infanticide in the womb.You're mixing standards as it's convenient for you. Abortion is not murder according to the law--that is all you. And then you turn around and say murder is against the law. Then to add to it, you say "hospitals do not perform abortions; they end pregnancies". You're trying to split word hairs, when the fetus is still equally dead.
I don't really care what you or your friend say. It was not an abortion. Hospitals don't abort babies.No. They performed an abortion. Listen Justifief, I'm going to believe my friend who had the procedure done, not you someone I'm just meeting on the internet.
So, you are saying that all of those people in the Bible who resisted the local authorities by obey God instead of those local authorities were wrong do so, even though God honored their resistance???The price they paid for not obeying local government was that any other religion not praising the jewish God were torn limb from limb. That may have included members of their own family. Given the choice, that is not how I would have expected shadrach, meshach, and abednego to treat me. So they should not have subjected others to that by disobeying local government.
That's the reason you are citing them by your limited memory of the story. Because you have forgotten the direct results of their civil disobedience.
With Daniel, an entire family of innocent people paid a similar price being thrown to the lions and gobbled up.
No, you stand behind a very poor interpretation and application of Scripture. Using the Bible to support the wholesale murder of babies is a reproach.I stand behind the claims Jesus made before illustrating with His crusifiction.
It should be illegal, not difficult. It is sad that mothers are complicit in the murder of their grandchildren.No. It’s a result of states trying to make abortion difficult. Look at the quote again. It took time to arrange for it. Note that they were all done out of state. Many mothers will take time to arrange time off, and find a place to stay.
I read that there has been no alternative "interpretations" offered.No, you stand behind a very poor interpretation and application of Scripture. Using the Bible to support the wholesale murder of babies is a reproach.
If you allow abortions to be outlawed, then births may be outlawed when the political wind shifts, as it always does. And there are rarely population declines in the world.It should be illegal, not difficult. It is sad that mothers are complicit in the murder of their grandchildren.
That's not true. I am not refusing to read Scripture at all. I am simply rejecting your twisted interpretation of the Scriptures.I read that there has been no alternative "interpretations" offered.
The only support being an emotional refusal to read scripture at all.
The government is going make it illegal for people to be born??? That's just nonsense. You really need to stop grasping for such ridiculous responses.If you allow abortions to be outlawed, then births may be outlawed when the political wind shifts, as it always does.

The problem is that you approach the Bible with an agenda to justify abortion and you are trying to mold the Bible around that agenda. A more honest approach to the Scriptures defies your agenda. Anyone can string a bunch of verses together that are ripped from their immediate and literary context in order to make the Bible say anything they want it to say. It takes no skill at all to do that. But I am not buying what you are trying to impose on the Bible. The Bible doesn't really say what you are trying to force on it.
Again, your approach is ridiculous. The notion that if everyone supports life, the government will mandate abortions like China does is nonsense. Fewer people having babies in the US, as it is. Supporting life is not going to lead to more abortions.
The government is going make it illegal for people to be born??? That's just nonsense. You really need to stop grasping for such ridiculous responses.
I don't have time to sit here and take every single verse you provide and exegete them properly. That would take most of the day. Anyone who is honest about the Scriptures you provide and can read a Bible and is even half-way theologically literate, can tell that you are mishandling the Bible to support an immoral, ungodly position.And refusing to fix them with proper context. Try again.
The Bible doesn't say that local governments should be obeyed at the expense of obedience to God. And it still doesn't change the fact that you are trying to force the Bible to support your agenda regarding abortion. You are trying really hard to make the Bible say what you want it to say, and if you have to work this hard to do that, it's a pretty clear indicator that you are wrong and that the Bible, if approach with honesty and integrity, doesn't actually say what you want it to say.This is just a side issue for me. I discovered this biblical policy regarding a different issue and wanted to know what the bible said about local government.
I was wrong. Here's what I found:
What Does the Bible Say About Local Government?
None of those verses claim that our subjection to local government means that we are subject to those governments even when they order us to disobey God.Sure, I can stick with the scriptures as the OP requests.
Regarding the scriptures subjection to local government:
Proverbs 20
2 The terror of a king is like the growling of a lion;
He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
8 A king who sits on the throne of justice
Disperses all evil with his eyes.
Matthew 12:30
He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
1 Kings 7:7
In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
Proverbs 20:26
A wise king separates out the wicked and drives the threshing wheel over them.
I don't really care what you or your friend say. It was not an abortion. Hospitals don't abort babies.
