ABORTION AND CHRISTIANITY? LETS TALK ABOUT IT
I know this post is long, but I do so because Christians seem to be my biggest push back on abortion issues.
This post comes from a conversation I had with a number of dear believers whom I love an respect.
So there is no shade being cast at all, but we as a body of Jesus Christ need to uniformly address this as the apostles creed did for our structural doctrine.
My personal view if not for the biblical standard would be, " hey women do what you want, who cares."
However, the Christian/ biblical worldview is clear and does not afford me to have a personal opinion in this regard. For me to hold my personal opinion above the stance of the word of God, makes me against that word.
Every deed good or bad is ultimately between that person and God.
Yet God has an expectation of Christians to speak against all the systems of Satan and the industries of sin, regardless of that sin or the virtue the world may apply to that particular sin.
No where does God command us as Christians to attack the people in sin.
The expectation that Christians and other caring people should not speak against the institution of abortion or the abortion industrial complex is incomprehensible.
Individual persons circumstances as you say is a matter between them and God, all people in that regard should mind their business and leave these women alone. I agree with you.
But the institution of abortion is a work of the devil and a matter of concern for the body of christ.
Here is a challenge for you, search the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, and make a note of every verse that directly or indirectly allows or advocates for abortion, and those verses against it.
Understand that the biblical equivalent of symbolic abortion would be the systematic killing of young infants in mass of one's own population.
Such as in the case of child sacrifices to the gods of Moloch and astoreth in Canaan, which was one of four pillar reasons, that the canaanites were supposed to have been utterly wiped out by the Hebrews.
Canaan people were yielded over fully to Satan as man knd was prior to the flood, and as we see in scripture there presence was detrimental to Jewish history and fidelity to the living God.
Infants killed as a consequence or spoil of war biblically and historically have not been regarded as abortion.
I have actually done small research, and reviewed much deeper indepth biblical research, on this topic from numerous points of view, and I find that from beginning to end of the Bible God appears to punish nations for this sin, surpassed only by his judgment upon nations involved in idolatry, and sexual perversion.
God is even slower to judgment on nations that commit great murder, than he is concerning the three sins previously mentioned above.
As to your point on adoption availability. The number of couples waiting to adopt in the U.S. at any given time is around one to two million people.
More than 50,000 children are adopted through foster care every year.
The number of available newborns available at any given time is around 200,000.
Mathematical as you can see there is a disconnect and a reasonable and favorable cover, towards the child.
Many organizations have been established that seek to help women who decide not to abort their child.
They provide varying programs from child health care, to supplying products, to continued education programs with day care funding.
They even provide more rapid private match making organizations to join pregnant women with people seeking adoption, and so many more programs and efforts.
The issue is pro abortion advocates have made it difficult to and in some cases illegal to reach out to women considering abortions, an present to them the multitude of viable options available.
The adoption/foster care system is tough and it needs to be, they do fine work, so I don’t argue against them. The system is slow and grueling, but it kind of has to be I guess.
The point is there is more people seeking to adopt new borns than there are new borns.
The foster care system gives high priority to reunification with birth parents over adoption). As well as relatives.
The adoption process for Adoptive Parents is tough because adoption agencies, professionals, states and countries want to ensure that the child is going to a safe place.
The child's safety and wellbeing are of the utmost importance, making the extra requirements incredibly necessary.
I mention black Americans because we are the most adversely affected. The indigenous black American (decendants of the North American slave industry), population is being greatly reduced. Along with our voting power and influence.
Will it be at some point that the influx of African migration and their cultural and historic differences will out weigh our histrionic experiences in regards to census issues.
Latino, asian, and east Indian migration also have the potential to displace us as the apex minority.
Finally, many Christians are willing to agree on terms of r**e and in**st, because we know that these numbers statistically are extremely low demographically. An we get it.
The saving of the mother's life issue has traditionally never been regarded as an abortion, until only recently, and should rightly not be added into the numbers.
Many pro-lifers would be in favor of the next day contraception pill except it is not next day, but much later in the conception cycle.
I believe egg destruction for r**e victims is viable, except again many women wait to long, well beyond the time acceptable time prolife advocates are willing to Agee upon.
I hope first that I in no way have offended or disrespected you, and secondly that I have made some small sense and shown a more clear perspective on how I see this convoluted argument.
Most Christian pro abortion advocates I find argue from an emotional or secular world view, and are void of a biblical world view, or make the biblical view secondary.
I can understand the unsaved point of view, as the Bible clearly says they are under the rule of Satan's world system.
It is Christians who profess the Bible as their governing authority, that confuses me.
Meditate and discern
Peace to you and God bless
