Why would God have a problem with abortion, when God commands the killing of babies in the Bible?

[DonGlock26]

1 Samuel 15:2-3

Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”

This isn't an argument for or against abortion. It's merely pointing out that, in the Old Testament, God orders soldiers to kill babies during warfare.

And. while Christians may argue that the Old Testament isn't relevant today, one could also argue that, if God isn't against killing actual, born babies, that God wouldn't have been against abortion.

The way I would view it is that more humanistic values, such as those which value the lives of unborn children tended to become more widespread over time, and in ancient cultures, where threats to survival were a much more common part of life, humanistic values tended to be more respected.

It's not our call.

King James Bible

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Romans 12:19 - Forgiveness

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God's wrath. For it is written: Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

The entire bible is just sick. If you read it like I have from old testament on through you'd throw it in the fire!

Killing babies is just sad.

The entire Bible isn't, and I'm able to read the Old Testament and understand it from the perspective of an ancient culture which arose during the Iron Age.

There are things in the Old Testament we'd consider barbaric by modern standards, however, by the standards of cultures which existed during that day and age, that wasn't necessarily the case.

Stupid ****.

This shit OP belongs in Religion, or some other place.

One of those cranks that feel God should act in the way they want Him to. And as you say, wrong section. Best to keep all that religious stuff in one area.

or phallic obsessed gun nuts who turn innocent souls into swiss cheese?

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I'll try to be a bit more concise.

Where in the Bible do anti-abortion views come from? The Bible says nothing about abortion.

Much Ado About Nothing

It actually favors abortion. The Hebrew high priests kept a potion that induced abortion, and they ordered a slutty Jewish woman to take it. It was also used when a husband accused his wife of committing adultery.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Jeremiah 1:5.

Caste Makes the Rest of Us Castaways

That's a special case of incredible egotism, Jeremiah referring to himself. Also, it says that there was a pre-life.

I've used that fantasy against Preppylovers, concluding that they must believe there was a pre-life where souls were judged. Those who passed God's judgment were rewarded by being born rich. It's as superstitious as the Hindu caste system preaching of reincarnation.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Thou shalt not murder.

THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS

That is the only true statement in the Bible. The rest is for the collection plate. Kaching, kaching is a phrase from its original language.

so it's god will if someone gets cancer & withers away in pain?

Well with my personal health issues, my struggle made me a stronger man. Through prayer, and God's will, a non believer will never understand.

It proves a fetus, by your definition. Had a plan, till you killed it.

You know nothing about God, if you speak like that.

Amalecks are descendants of Esau, the enemy of the Creator and the Creator's Israel People. When Israelites had their babies killed by priests of Baal, those parents were cursed. They had a whole valley filled with dead babies sacrificed to Baal. Today, abortion clinics are basically Priests of Baal, sacrificing babies.
That USA allows homosexual males, killing babies etc. There is a curse on USA, especially after the USA Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright said that killing a million Iraqi children was "worth the price."
Furthermore, Janet Reno, operating under President Clinton with malice, burned to death children and their parents and care givers in Waco Texas for "heresy", much like the Vatican loved to do to millions of people.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why do you think God gave that command?

The Amekelites were democrats.

 

[BluesLegend]

God allowed the killing of innocent babies by Herod, hoping to kill Jesus. That has nothing to do with condoning abortion.

The OP troll imbecile is obviously unaware God gave us free will.

It's not today, abortion has always existed. The only difference is that we have more modern methods of facilitating it.

Doesn't work that way. Homosexuality has always existed. Even though homosexual behavior was punished by death in the Old Testament (likely because it was viewed as a source of disease, which is why it only mentioned homosexual males), there were many behaviors punished by death, such as picking up sticks on that Sabbath.

especially after the USA Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright said that killing a million Iraqi children was "worth the price."

Who said it wasn't?

Furthermore, Janet Reno, operating under President Clinton with malice, burned to death children and their parents and care givers in Waco Texas for "heresy", much like the Vatican loved to do to millions of people.

They were cultists and deserved it. Who cares? The children were probably better off dead than in a cult anyway.

Your post is definitely worthy of a tin foil hat.

 

[NotYankee]

the OT certainly has something to say about abortion. if a husband - having authority over his wife - even SUSPECTS she slept with another dude - then he can take her to a priest who is under the authority of
' GOD ' , & the hubby can demand an induced abortion.

<ahem>

Numbers 5:11-31​

View attachment 1146201​

isn't that special?

Numbers 5:11 does not call for killing a baby. If she is innocent, she is free from the curse. If she is guilty and carrying a baby conceived in adultry it will die along with her.

Then abortion is no issue.

Other than Dems burning in hell, I guess it's not.

Yet killing babies is dear to democrat hearts. Maybe they all want to be God.

The birth rate will continue to fall. So abortion will go away on its own. A win win.
