In our country today many are comforting individuals who struggle with
immoral lifestyles and choices. To large issues, and two that we will
likely play roles in this election year are Abortion and Homosexuality.
Since this paper and this article are devoted to God’s word there is no
reason to dwell on the currently terrible state that our country is in on
these two issues, but it is relevant to look at how these issues have come
to light in this country.
Abortion became legal in the United States on January 22nd, 1973. I for
one am glad that my parents did not choose their legal (not godly) given
right to abort me. I was still two and ½ years from being born; this law
put my life in risk. In our country we protect animals, we give rights to
criminals, and many more non-logical things. Yet, when it comes to an
unborn human being, one that has a beating heart and a soul, there is no
right for life! Many say that abortion is not condemned in the Bible.
The many are wrong (Matthew 7:13-14). The term abortion does not appear
in the Bible but the definition sure does. (Revelation 21:8) “But the
fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death.”
Does God view an unborn child as a human being or would he refer to an
unborn child, as does the medical field “fetus”? He not only views an
unborn child as an infant, but the record indicates that he knows them.
(Jeremiah 1:5) “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.” Notice the word “BEFORE”, in that verse. It
would do a great justice to would be mothers if they walked into a clinic
and had to read what God says on this matter. Maybe, just maybe that
would drop the rate of legal murders in this country. In the next text we
will look at, we are in need of noticing again what the Holy Writ calls an
unborn infant. The infant is not called “fetus”, or any other medical
term. (Luke 1:40-41) “And entered into the house of Zacharias, and
saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the
salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled
with the Holy Ghost.” Abortion is so easy to have done that some women
use it as a form of birth control. Where has this world’s morals gone?
They have gone by the way side, and the word of God has been placed on the
shelf under the immoral magazines, the Bible is just being used as a
source of collection. Not a source of information collection but rather
dust collection.

Dr.jlmiller,
Welcome to the boards! If you'll take a moment to look around in the Morality & Ethics section, I think you'll notice threads on both homosexuality and abortion. I recommend taking your thoughts there! : )
