The ECLA holds to Augsburg?
According to everything in all Scripture, this cannot be done,I am just as opposed to abortions as any other Christian should be, but they aren't going away. The world is ran by non-believers and sinners and they don't care about morality, so why not just play the system and get ahead of the "problem"?
According to everything in all Scripture, this cannot be done,
and
the people of God, Ekklesia in OT and NT, never tried.
Jesus never said to, and never tried to .
A false gospel world-wide makes a show of both - seeming to try to, and at the same time supporting the opposite as it pleases - playing all parts of the system against one another to create chaos as desired to gain power over it all, as planned for centuries,
as prophesied in Scripture over 2000 years ago.
Hey, here's a simple "solution" lol let's promote abstinence AND safe sex teaching in schools and make it easier and possible to PREVENT unwanted pregnancy? It's a wild suggestion, but what do you say?
Let's not be separated by this and instead look for REALISTIC ways to help PREVENT this instead of fighting abortions so much? It is proven that teens that are well informed and provided with resources (condoms, birth control, ect.) are less likely to have unwanted pregnancies... which can lead to less abortions... just sayin'...

Well then I guess it's settled. We all should stop caring and let the world burn because nothing we do or say matters and we are only fooling ourselves into thinking that any of this "God-stuff" actually works.
(Sarcasm btw, so please don't think I'm serious about this, everyone)
True....I think. So, when man declares we have created LIFE in a test tube, what is the churches, or your, response to such claims?Perhaps the use of 'convenience' is not as precise as what we are really discussing here. Which is the premeditated termination of a healthy human being developing in the womb. We cannot escape even after page after page of posts that upwards to 98% of procured abortions performed involve a decision to terminate the human life in the woman's womb with both the human fetus healthy and pregnant woman healthy.
For whatever reason is given, the above remains the fact of the matter.
GOOD ! (no problem with the sarcasm) ....Well then I guess it's settled. We all should stop caring and let the world burn because nothing we do or say matters and we are only fooling ourselves into thinking that any of this "God-stuff" actually works.

Yes,I think we should still care. What amazes me the most is when Christians start advocating for abortions based on worldly values, even to the point of rejecting scripture in favor of the type of rhetoric we hear in the mainstream media.
Not all. I am close friends with LCMS Lutherans.Now "controlling a woman's life" is something you think is worse than killing a baby? Is life really that disposable to Lutherans???
Praise God! May the Lord bless you, your baby and husband during this most beautiful miracle in your lives!For that matter, I'm a pregnant woman.

This is their view on abortion (see attached pdf)
You may be right. The proper term is human being developing in the womb.An early stage foetus cannot be considered a "baby" and no-one would call it this unless they were trying to lie and deceive.
Well a LCMS site called Lutheran satire made this video which should explain a lot. I posted this yesterday but it might have been buried:It's strange to read that and then read from Lutherans the sort of thing we've seen in this thread.
Yes, both you and I (I was probably more handsome at that stage of course) looked just like that when we were human beings at that stage of development.

So, what you are saying is:If a fetus can survive outside the womb then we start to have reasons to scrutinize the personal choice about abortion.
Would you say that God is Just? Because we do know that "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne." (Psalm 97:2)
Does the ELCA call them the 10 Guidelines?
Actually the pastor was being a pastor.
Does pastor Fisk have the NT in his canon? Really I have to ask as you were presented several passages from the NT only to reply "Law" each time.
