It is written that the wages of sin is death. It is also written that hell enlargins itself. We are told to love our neighbors as ourselves. God loves children and God is love. So we take a look at those who use scripture to justify abortion.
In modern day to justify abortion people will take the scriptures twist them and bend them to their own destruction. So we have to compare what happened and who it's addressing and is it Old Testament or New Testament and what is the difference between the flawed scripture or the canonized KJV which we have the closest perfect scripture there is. Whoever this has been used to justify murder of unborn children mainly quoted the old Testament but I do see he quoted a verse from the New Testament so I'm going to take a look at that.
What Does the Bible Really Say About Abortion ?
" Ten biblical episodes and prophecies provide an unequivocal expression of God's attitude toward human life, especially the ontological status of "unborn children" and their pregnant mothers-to-be. Brief summaries :"
• A pregnant woman who is injured and aborts the fetus warrants financial compensation only (to her husband), suggesting that the fetus is property, not a person (Exodus 21:22-25).
Now this is somebody who doesn't believe in God and probably doesn't know God and might not even be a Christian and if so they're not a Christian. First of all Exodus is the Old Testament where people were under the law and God had very strict rules for the Hebrews of his people.
Exodus 21:22-25
King James Version
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
There's the truth of what it says there will be compensation giving and it will be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, burning for burning which means hell for all of eternity . That is the compensation for injuring a woman pregnant with child and this is Old Testament. So the person does not know God who wrote the above and took the verse right out of context.
• The gruesome priestly purity test to which a wife accused of adultery must submit will cause her to abort the fetus if she is guilty, indicating that the fetus does not possess a right to life Numbers 5:11-31).
Let's see the truth about the above scripture which I believe is taken out of context. Now remember there are children of the devil as the Bible tells us. But a child is not at an age it has NOT understanding . Even if it is not a child of God. Okay so let's have a look. Remember this was Old Testament and the Hebrews were under the law. God gave some 613 Commandments. And God was speaking to Moses here. Now I have examined the scripture this fella whoever it is quoted above and took it completely out of context. This is the law given to Moses by God in the Old Testament. The Hebrew woman would have gone to a Jewish synagogue and if she was suspected of a fornication which we would call sleeping around on your husband today there was a process that she had to go through. Because God takes marriage very seriously. If she was found to be telling the truth the child would not be harmed. But if she was found to be lying in fornication and had slept with another person man other than her husband she would be cursed. This was the Old Testament before the Lord being the Messiah was born.
Numbers 5:11-31 KJV - And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
13 And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
15 Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the Lord:
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
18 And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar:
26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
• Isaiah prophesied doom for Babylon, including the murder of unborn children: "They will have no pity on the fruit of the womb" (Isaiah 13:18).
Okay I read the above verse of Isaiah. God had the prophet pronounce judgment on Babylon which was in Mesopotamia. God destroyed it in the way it is written because of his fierce anger against the grave sin of that land. And later just as God said judgment came as a flood came. That land in that time became a ruin of heaps. This was Old Testament and God is very serious even in Jeremiah the great prophet that's quoted below people were warn to turn back to God. And if people harmed God's people there was judgment forthcoming. God wasn't slack in his promise. The wages of sin is death and this is Old Testament before grace.
• For worshiping idols, God declared that not one of his people would live, not a man, woman or child (not even babies in arms), again confuting assertions about the sanctity of life (Jeremiah 44:7-8).
• Jesus did not express any special concern for unborn children during the anticipated end times: "Woe to pregnant women and those who are nursing" (Matthew 24:19).
Jesus raised people from the dead including Lazarus. Jesus loved Martha. Jesus forgave the prostitute. There was a Biblical quote about children in Heaven.
Remember when the king I think it was Harold tried to kill all the first firstborn children to overt the birth of Christ. He did it. He was evil and the Bible says he was eaten with worms King Harold. Does God love children of course and the wages of sin is death. Jesus took children and said the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs in scripture. He also said unless people become innocent like them they will never see his kingdom. But he said if anyone does evil to a child that believers in him its curtains for them. So Christ loves children.
Matthew 24:19
King James Version
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
If the children are unborn and the things prophesied have to come to pass this also will affect other children on Earth. Of course he loved us even before we loved him. He's addressing prophecy. He's warning with a woe those those woman pregnant with children in that day. And he even tells us in the same passage of Matthew that some women will be taken and others left. Probably the saved women even if they are pregnant will be taken. The ones that were left aren't his. They're not saved. And of course it breaks God's heart when people perish. He's addressing prophecy. The Bible has numerous passages on the love of God and what is in store for those who love God. The Bible says God is love. So again the claimant is using the verse to justify abortions.
The Bible says to fear God and not to fear man because God has the power to send human beings to hell for all of eternity. God tells us to fear Him and that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So I don't think God takes abortion lightly. Remember GOD does not change yesterday Tomorrow and forever. He said generations of Children /People that ignore him and do evil he visits their iniquity unto the forth generation . I believe there are things written in the bible God does not love and for his reasons are higher than men . In the end of the day we would hope that people turn away from sin believe HELL is real and people do perish.
In modern day to justify abortion people will take the scriptures twist them and bend them to their own destruction. So we have to compare what happened and who it's addressing and is it Old Testament or New Testament and what is the difference between the flawed scripture or the canonized KJV which we have the closest perfect scripture there is.
