If the Christian God is against Abortion . . .?
Why does it state in Leviticus that a woman who comitted adultery should be stoned, even if she is with child? Why did God kill the firstborn sons of Egypt? Why did God kill the baby born of a (formerly) married woman whose husband was sent to battle (by the king) to die? Or the pregnant women and babies of Sodom and Gomorah--a city wouldn't have only adults. What's the REAL story here?

I would like to know that question too. Most theist love to point out sins and trash on others in the name of there imaginary god. They also have it in their mind sets that this imaginary god can do no wrong. It is this lacking in ourselves and this need to have and be linked to this super human or super natural force transcends common sense and logic. We all see world leaders take on god like presence and from there with a slight motion kill one, ten's, hundreds, thousands and millions all in the name of doing a deities work or cleansing and purirfying a culture against another culture that is just as much apart of that area as the other. It is funny how the Christians can march against and some fundies even have killed and destroyed abortion clinics and their workers but none of them will lift a finger to fight a real cause and give the children that are already here their full attention and assistance.

The bible is merely a history book, that states the beliefs of the people at that time. That is the reason why it is so filled with inconsistancies. The churches need people to believe in it, or they'll go out of business. Don't get me wrong most churches do some wonderful things. However, your belief in God, is just that, 'Your belief'. Don't let anyone take away your beliefs. Take the bible and pick the good things that you 'truly believe', not just the ones that suit your desires and use them to be the best person that you can be. The God I believe in will think you're pretty okay if you do. As for the abortion issue, that's a decision between a woman and 'her' God. I would love for her to not have one, there are other alternatives (in most cases), and it's a decision she'll have to live with for the rest of her life. But I would never condemn her if she truly believes it to be the right decision. If you're in that position, please make an informed decision. If you have no-one else, or just feel I could be of any help please don't hesitate to e-mail me. I'm a pretty good listener. Good luck with your future. I know you'll make the right choices.

Sodom and Gomorah had bad people who were having sex with animals and having homosexual relations so God punished those cities by destroying them because they went against God's laws. The firstborn sons and firstborn animals were killed because the Pharaoh wouldn't let Moses(PBUH*) take his people(Israelites) out of Egypt. The verse in Lectivus states that because adultery(sleeping with someone who is not your wife or husband) is a sin and was a crime back then and it wasn't uncommon back in those days for adulators to get stoned to death. I'm not sure about the baby getting killed by a formerly married woman story. Perhaps she committed adultery. By the way I'm Muslim.

First of all read the Bible and you'll find the answers. Everything God did, he gave an explaination for.
History demonstrates a lot of evil and bad things, can you make the assumption everyone is evil based on history?
God is about love and redemption for a people who turned their back on their creator because they had (and still do) poor judgement in exercising their free will.
Be thankful you have a free will and liberty. Where do you think it came from? Countries that aren't God fearing (like communist) don't have liberty and free will. See the difference of God's true light and influence?
Read John 3:16, it's all about the love. Also read 1 Corinthians chapter 13 to see what true love is.

Hey, God is still killing infants and fetuses today, no need to go back to the Good Ole' Days.
The real story is three dudes sat around a campfire 2000 years ago dropping acid ,which apparently was called Frankenscence, and writing a bad horror script. It turn out quite like they wanted, but we got a religion out of it.

Wow, you're completely skipping the entire NEW TESTAMENT. All throughout it are signs that God is merciful and life begins at conception. Murder is murder no matter when it is commited. Why is it okay to kill a 7 month old in his mother's body, but not okay to kill a premature 7 month old already born? It's not a choice for the mother, because I'm pretty sure if that baby could speak for itself, it would want to live. Especially, since it would not want to endure to very PAINFUL death of abortion!!! (Look it up)

A Holy God is allowed and even obligated to judge his creation ..however the command he gave to man "thou shall not kill" can be translated as "thou shall not murder" and that is what abortion is..take it from a person who had an abortion...it is a sin and it will catch up to you..all sins do...but thanks be to God that he has made a way for the sinner to be redeemed> I was a murderer and God still loved me enough to save me. That is why I praise him...he is awesome...so go ahead and try to pass judgment on him but just remember the measure you use to judge him and others will be used the day you stand before him..Peace..oh and by the way he is not "the Christian God" he is the only God the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob

Because sometimes sins must be punished. Do you think that God LIKES taking the lives of all those people. Do you know a child who could care less if he got paddled but would freak if his daddy would yell at him? Some people need punished in different ways. Sometimes sin becomes to vast for God to take so He must destroy the whole thing, including the root (like weeding). I don't know. Ask God about it. He obviously knows the answer.

properly there replaced into debate amoung the Gnostics as to in common terms who the God of the previous testomony replaced into. Greek scriptures dated plenty later then John has Jesus asserting that the God of the previous testomony replaced into no longer he or the father yet fairly an evil God born from the mother of the universe (Holy Spirit) till now She got here to be with the father. Regardless if that replaced into the case which it incredibly is no longer, That God of the previous testomony continues to be as instructed by utilising the saviour (Jesus) the God of this worldwide and nevertheless the author of this Earth if no longer the universe. some people who think of it incredibly is Hell (which i do no longer) it would make experience. human beings don't comprehend God interior the slightest, God replaced into installation a land for his human beings interior the previous testomony which Phillistines and Caaninites had moved into with out God's permission. God authorized their slaughter simply by fact on the time it replaced into nessacary for the Israelites to get carry of the land. That land replaced into fought over territory for the main appropriate of passage by utilising each tribe and persons in life. Early on God instructed the Israelites to no longer inter marry in the event that they have been to no longer mixture with those human beings they actually could no longer develop their babies that have been left after the warfare. on the comparable time we ought to evaluate that God being all understanding the two A .knows the youngsters will come to Heaven and subsequently be in a extra effective place any techniques, or B. possibly the persons on the time in those factors had conduct of thrashing and molesting their babies and death replaced into the extra effective determination. Regardless we gained't question God's reasoning God needs the final for us consistently and consistently there's a sound explanation for such strikes. conversing extra on the abortion concern besides the certainty that the God of the OT does say Thou Shalt no longer Kill, he additionally says That any guy that kills yet another subsequently shall he be killed, simply by fact guy is in Gods image. it incredibly is reported additionally as woman and male so everybody that commits homicide (abortion) would be positioned to death. the only element that could shop them from this destiny as instructed by utilising Christ in Revelations is REPENTENCE. i'm helpful that the standard public of girls people who've an abortion do repent and experience great grief with the alternative they made subsequently repenting and being forgiven.
