Abortion and the Scriptures

This post is for those that have a love for the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and support planned parenthood abortion funding. ( We know G-d is not Democrat, Republican or anything political. He is above all.) With this in mind I would like to point out what G-d's word says about the beginning of life for a human.

In Genesis chapter 38 we read the story of Onan, one of Jacob's sons. Onan's brother, Er, had been wicked and was slain by the L-RD . Onan was to raise up seed to his dead brother by going in unto his dead brother's wife. Verse 9 and 10 reads "And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the L-RD wherefore he slew him also.

G-d is the creator of life. Man can stop life but can not create life itself.

People dispute when life begins but for those of us who know G-d's word is the final authority we are able to see what G-d reveals about life beginning.

In Exodus chapter 21 verses 22-25 G-d's word reveals the punishment for harming an unborn child. "If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surley punished according as the womans husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound stripe for stripe."

Describing an unborn baby as" fruit of the womb" puts a different perspective on the idea that it is only tissue and not a living being. We are dealing with life and if anything happens to the unborn, whoever caused the hurt is to have the same thing done to him as what happened to the unborn baby. If the unborn child comes without harm done to it the person responsable for the early delivery is still to be punished according to what the husband demands and the judges fine for that person.

Psalm 139: 13,14,15,16 really shows how G-d is in the conception of each baby."...thou hast covered me in my mother's womb..." "...I am fearfully and wonderfully made:.." "...my substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."

G-d puts each babys members in a book. Each baby is precious, special, his plan. We show our hate to G-d when we destroy a life.

The last verse I want to point to is Psalm 127:3 "Lo, children are an heritage of the L-RD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." We are killing our heritage and reward when we abort babies.

We need to turn back to G-d's way and trust Him for the outcome. He will provide and bless.

Job's Redeemer

Job lived around the time of Abraham.  The book of Job is considered one of the oldest books of the Tenach.  Job went through much testing so he might have a better understanding of who G-d is.  One thing Job was certain of , no matter how bad things got and if he died that Job would see G-d with his own eyes.  In other words Job knew of the resurrection from the dead.
 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see G-d: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me." Job 19:25-27

Job had no doubt of the Redeemer raising him from the dead even if his body was eaten up of worms. G-d would raise him up.

Rejoice not

"Rejoice not when thy enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth. Lest the L-RD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him." Proverbs 24:17,18
G-d does not want us to gloat over an enemies deserved judgement.  G-d is merciful to us and we need to be thankful for his mercy.

Are you cursed or blessed

"Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the L-RD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place... Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother... Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark... Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way... Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow...Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife because he uncovereth his father's skirt...Cursed be he  that lieth with any manner of beast... Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother,,, Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law...Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly... Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person... Cursed be he that confirmetuh not all the words of this law to do them..." Deuteronomy 27:15-26

 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the L-RD thy G-d.  Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.  Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.  Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.  The L-RD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before they seven ways..." Deuteronomy 28:2-7
