Hi, Collin
I've been reading everybody's comments too. It's sad that you and your wife lost so many
fetuses children. Jesus came to save the lost.
Luke 1:31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are ...
Conceive definition: become pregnant with (a
child).
Pregnant definition: (of a woman or female animal) having a
child or
young developing in the uterus.
This is such a hot topic right now and it's because of the emotion that people feel because of who is involved-babies, children. I don't think this is the place to be tearing others apart about it.... ya know... that's what we're talking about essentially isn't it? I mean all ya have to do if you're in doubt about what goes on during an abortion is google it. It's not pretty. It's definitely the taking of lives.
While it is true that ancient Israel sacrificed children in the fire to Molech, it may have been relatively few--dozens, perhaps hundreds. But America's abortion clinics have killed an estimated 40 million unborn babies. That's more killings than were committed by Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler, and Mao Zetong, COMBINED!
We are poisoning our children’s minds, their souls, their bodies, and their very spirits. We are killing them by the millions before they draw even their first breath. Do you think that we shall go unpunished for these unspeakable abominations?http://bible-truths.com/towers.htmSomeone said "we all killed Jesus." We did not.
Acts 5:27-30 When they had brought them [the apostles], they stood them before the Council. The high priest questioned them, saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom YOU [not "we"] had put to death by hanging Him on a cross.Peter didn't include himself or any of the other apostles in those actions.
But I do agree with Ray - children are being murdered {well, he said killed, but all you have to do is a simple youtuble search and you'll see what is really happening}i n the womb. It's frightening.
And then do another search and you will see the nurses in the "Operating" rooms telling their side of things.
Then do another search and you'll find women who were forced or felt forced into having abortions and you will get a very clear picture of who was harmed. Let there be no doubt in your minds about when life begins. Life begins at the moment of conception per the word of God:
Exodus 21:22... “When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman’s husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 But if there is harm, then" [you can read the rest] Galations 1:15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother's womb [some versions say "before I was born" but he was definitely selected before he was ever CONCEIVED in the womb] and called me by his grace, was pleasedWhen Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby [not the "fetus"] leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.There was actually a real, live BABY {living child} in her womb. Maybe he hadn't taken his first breath of air but he was definitely alive - a LIVING SOUL.
I remember during my second pregnancy with the daughter I would have to later give up for adoption. I cried through the entire thing knowing I'd have to give her up. I was devasted. Abortion was presented to me over and over and over again and I wouldn't go that route. I couldn't out of a clear conscience do something like that because I knew [had faith] what was happening. I had a growing child in my stomach but she was very still and calm. One day I was at work and the office manager got angry at another secretary and marched her into her office down the hall from my desk and she slammed that door so hard it made such a boom that Lauren leaped inside of me! It startled Lauren. The loud noise scared my baby. It scared her. And it was just a noise. But she jolted so hard in my stomach I almost fell out of my chair. That happened when I was five months pregnant.
Doctors and "experts" say that a child isn't viable until you can detect a heartbeat. It's strange to me because doctors should know that if the nervous system were not in place in the beginning that the heart wouldn't beat at all? But doctors apparently don't have the instruments to detect brain waves in a developing baby. But they know that these are developing babies. They are unborn babies. And mothers know they are pregnant. Everything changes. Your mood, your temperature, your waistline, your bustline, your backside, everything immediately goes into "Oh, I see you're about to have a baby!" mode. Immediately! My point is, it's not okay to abort (kill) your child all because YOU or a DOCTOR can't yet detect the heartbeat. Not judging, but it's not okay. It's not, there, there, we understand -- you were young. No, you will be held accountable. You will give an account and per Ray you will be punished if you don't repent and acknowledge that you did wrong and never do that again and take steps to make sure that you never have to face that choice again. It is so sad to see women who are grieving over their decision. They can't undo what they did! They have to live with their thoughts and I don't mind that they live with their grief, until God decides to release and forgive and heal and comfort them. I hate abortion!
In all the places of the bible when you read, you will NEVER see a pregnancy referred to as a "fetus" but always a "child/ren," or a "son/s" or a "daughter." Never a fetus. I don't know where that word came from, but I suspect it came from the same people who made up the word homosexual.
Fetus defined: embryo, unborn
baby/childI have known women who have had multiple abortions and were devastated by it. I have known women who got pregnant and lost their babies and were just as devastated by it. I have known a girl who got pregnant at 15 and when her mother saw that she wasn't using her monthly period items, forced her to have an abortion.
But there is never a good reason for having an abortion and it is well known that 95% of abortions take place because women (and men) are using it as a method of birth control. There are fewer than 5% per statistics that are aborted due to rape or incest, and even that is not a good reason to have an abortion, in my humble opinion.
I believe that these are children and we will see them again one day. I look forward to that day as do the mothers who grieve and are " poor in spirit " / feeling contrite over their decision to abort (kill/murder) their babies in their wombs. That is the silver lining in all of this.
It's a selfish, sick act. But the thought has crossed my mind before because i was scared of what others would think if they knew I was doing things I had no business doing as an unmarried woman (it was a selfish reason and I knew it immediately and I knew I would have to stand before God one day and account for that act and that scared me more!), but just because a bird (a thought) lands on your head does not mean you have to let it take up residence there. You're not guilty for having a thought.
And I'm with Ray when he said, I THANK GOD that I never raped little children or murdered them and cut their heads off. I thank God, too, that God spared me from the act of abortion. I am not a perfect person, but God had mercy on me. I thank God for not letting me go that route. I thank God that I have learned that sex is not a game to be toyed with. Because it produces CHILDREN.
But the abortion doctors ... 1 Corinthians 16:22 It is not their decision to make.
As for euthanasia, that's another thread. So I'm not even going to go there. One has nothing to do with the other. When you're speeding up the process to keep someone from experiencing a ton of pain and it's out of compassion, and that person has requested it, maybe there is a case for that, I don't know. All I know is, it's not right to take a baby's life. They had no choice in the matter.
