Arguing Abortion

  I've been working on my apologetics skills recently, and found many good arguments against abortion in the Bible. 

  Abortion is the killing of a child in the mother's womb. Unfortunately, many people say that the child is not a person with rights while in the womb. 

  However, God is the source of life and every human being deserves human rights. It is important to know that the child is indeed alive in the womb and should be protected, not slaughtered.

  I can find at least four very good arguments against abortion in the Bible, and though there are many more, I will just leave it at these for the time being.

  One of these arguments is found in the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, where it says, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you' (Jer 1:5). 

  So you see, it says plainly that the Lord knows and  consecrates a child even before it is in the womb. Have you met a Christian in the proper set of mind who would intentionally murder something that God Himself has consecrated?

  Another verse that hammers abortion is Psalm 139:13, where it says, 'For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb.'

  Again, you can clearly see why abortion is such a problem. If the Lord Himself  creates a child in the womb, then what can give you the right, being nothing as compared to God, to kill His creation?

  The third verse against abortion is found in the book of Exodus. 'When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall be fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him...' (Ex 21:22).

  This verse speaks for itself. He who hurts a woman's child in the womb is to be punished. It doesn't get much more clear than that. Abortion should be punished.

And the last verse which I shall reference right now is Luke 1:41, when Mary visits Elizabeth. 'And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb...'

  For those who state that a child in the womb is not a living person, this verse effectively puts that argument to sleep. John the Baptist has to be a living person in the womb if he can leap for joy at Mary's greeting. He MUST be a person, and if killing a five year old boy is murder, than killing a child in the womb is also murder. Period.

  I hope you appreciated this post, and please take to mind what I wrote. While I could go into even more detail, I will leave it basic in these four verses.

  Tragically, thousands of children are killed every day because they are deemed unimportant. Well they are important. Everybody is loved in the eyes of the Lord, and if he loves them, you should too.

  Thank you for reading.

Merry Christmas....Season

Image
      Sorry I'm a day late to those who read the blog. Yesterday was a little bit hectic, and then I forgot. But Christmas is much too important to leave out, so a day after the 25th will have to suffice.     Though we celebrated the day of the Lord's birth yesterday, we still celebrate Christmas today. According to the USCCB, the Christmas season ends on the Baptism of the Lord.  This year the Baptism will occur on the 12th of January, 2025. So we still have some Christmas left. Or if you want to be particularly traditional, you can celebrate Christmas all the way until Candlemas (February 2). I personally like to celebrate until Candlemas, but it's a matter of preference.     I was told by a priest that you can celebrate Christmas year-round. This doesn't refer to 'every day is Christmas' but rather, it means that you can (and should) celebrate the Lord's coming into the earth every day. After all, if he never came, we would all be hopelessly lo...

The Sign of the Cross: What it is and How to Pray it

        Here's a short paragraph on The Sign of the Cross, what it means, and how to pray it.                      The Sign of the Cross is a short prayer; typically used as an opening and closing prayer, but it can be used at any time. The prayer is said like this: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen", as you say this, touch your right hand to your forehead, then your chest, and then your right and left shoulders. So, your would say "In the name of the Father,"(touch your forehead) "and of the Son,"(touch your chest) "and of the Holy Spirit"(touch your right and left shoulders). Notice how we say "In the NAME" and not "In the NAMES" this shows that we acknowledge and believe that God is one in three beings.  We should say the Sign of the Cross with reverence and respect, and not rush. By being reverent, we show God that we are choosing to pray, and no...
