However, sad to say it has become become a multi-million dollar butchering business worldwide with no foreseeable end in sight. Godless butchers declare it will help to improve the mother's mental health and prevent society from raising another undesirable child. In addition, mankind has become so disrespectful of God's word they are now pursuing through their god of science the growth and development of human fetus' strictly for body parts. Although the real reasons for abortion are masked behind endless lies and public relations. In reality the
overwhelming reasons for a vast number of abortions can be summarized into two
distinct categories:
1.) an effort to hide the individuals sin and;
In the eyes of God all murder is wrong. God declared in the Old Testament, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man" (Genesis 9:6). Following God's institution of the Mosaic law God commanded, "He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death" (Exodus 21:12). For women who believe they have power of authority over their own bodies, believe a lie. Just listen to what the Bible has to say on this subject, "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in the body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (I Corinthians 6:20). Thus, as a slave is the sole property of his master, so are we. Having been purchased by the precious blood of Yeshua we are no longer our own but His. Like it or not, that is the judgment of God's word and will last throughout eternity. Make no mistake, the killing of an unborn fetus is the murder of a human being, because all life begins at the instant of conception. The unborn fetus is more than a living glob of tissue. It is a living soul created and formed in the image of God, detailed and imprinted with the genetic blueprint of its mother and father. King David of Israel wrote, "Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalms 139:13-14). We are left with a more descriptive teaching by the prophet Jeremiah who wrote, "Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" (Jeremiah 1:4-5). The prophet John the Baptist was "... filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb (Luke 1:15). When the mother of Yeshua, Mary, was lead of the Spirit to go and see her cousin Elisabeth, as Mary greeted Elisabeth, "... the babe (John the Baptist) leaped in her (Elisabeth's ) womb" (Luke 1:41). In summary, the killing of an unborn child is a horrifying sin and a premeditated murder. We must always
remember and follow the wisdom of God's
Word, "But if ye shall not do so,
behold, ye have sinned against the LORD:
and be sure your sin will find you out" (Numbers 32:23). |
