What Does The Seventh Day Adventist Church Teach About?

Not sure about artificial contraception but I'm pretty sure that the church teaches that abortion is allowed if the life of the mother is threaten or rape iI'm pretty sure but not completly .Though I disagree with it I only think its ok if the mother is in risk but thats just me.

These are statements from the official websites, though we do not make these issues a major part of our teaching. Nor can you say there is a definite view held by all members.

Hello

The bible teaches that God opens and Shuts the Womb

Isaiah 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith thy God.

Man always trys to over ride God either by Artificial Contraception or Fertility drugs to get what they want. Not what God wants. In the case of RAPE and the women falling pregnant. Who opened the Womb? Did the Man who raped her or did God? Sometimes something Good comes out of something Bad. but why should the BABY suffer for the sins of someone else?

If you think of Jephthah he was the son of a Harlot and he became a Judge of Israel. In the time of the Judges. If she had , had an abortion like so many harlot's did, Israel would not hav had a Judge to rescue them!

In the Case of Mothers Life or Childs Life Pray for God's Guidance. For it is not the will of God to have either Perish but to have Eternal LIFE. But if one must Perish they will be together in the life to come.

If you want Our personal convition for what its worth, i would ABORT the baby. to SAVE the mother. And Receive the baby in the Kingdom to come. To save him from any suffering on this earth.

Hope this helps

Have a lovely Sabbath
