Question for Christians

[ladiesbballcoach]

Do you think that God considers an abortion a sin?

 

If you say yes, fine.

 

If you say no, are you putting societal and worldly issues of a woman's choice in front of your spiritual faith?

 

And then does God want us to put worldly issues in front of our Christian faith?

[UKMustangFan]

If you are a Christian, there is no way you can't feel abortion is a sin.

[Habib]

All I know is that I am not God and I can't pretend to know (or understand why I should know) what God does or does not consider a sin.

 

And I'm against abortion, before we get six pages of hating on Habib.

I'm interested to hear the responses from some of our pro-choice Christians....

[acemona]

I voted.

[Getslow]

One of the times it's nice to be a Catholic...

 

- Life begins at conception.

 

- The deliberate taking of innocent life is murder.

 

- Murder is a sin.

 

- Ergo, abortion is murder and therefore, a sin.

 

QED

[BoondockSaint]

My question is if murder is a sin, then why is war acceptable to those who believe that? Is there an asterisk somewhere in the bible to help explain this?

I believe murder is a sin. AND I believe our entry into WWII as a result of the Pearl Harbor attack AND to end Hitler's aggression in Europe was NOT a sin. Do you disagree with me?

 

For the record, I do not equate the acts of war with murder.

Completely unrelated, but is the new avatar from Lord of War?

I do agree on your two points about the wars.

 

I do not understand however how you don't see the intended killing of another human being as murder, what ever the reasoning behind it.

Yes, these topics got me thinking about that movie for some reason. :lol:

[UKMustangFan]

:lol: Great movie though.

Because God used war at times for His purposes.

Don't remember reading about God using abortion for His purposes in the Bible.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.*

 

* Except in situations in which it is of political advantage to do so.

 

There you go!

LBBC - Do you think that we should make laws against all sins? For example, adultery, pre-marital sex, etc?
