Can Christians explain this for me?

Numbers 5:22, NIV: May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.' ''Then the woman is to say, 'Amen. So be it.'

I keep hearing people say their Christian God condemns Abortions but this kind of says otherwise.
Makes me wonder if there is actually anything about same sex relations or if people just twist and warp their religion to match their own beliefs

This was part of a testing ceremony to discover if a woman who was suspected by her husband of committing adultery was innocent or guilty of it.. Part of that ceremony required the woman to say Amen in agreement to the test.. And if she was innocent the Holy Water would have no effect upon her.. But if she was guilty she would suffer the type of effects mentioned..

Note God is NOT bound by the laws He gave human beings to follow..The Laws where designed with the imperfect nature of humans in mind.. God on the other hand is perfect thus The Laws of the OT where not designed with Him in mind.. God is the giver of life and He can take life away at any time.. In this case He can take away the life of the unborn child the product of adultery from the woman who is guilty of committing adultery against her husband.. The loss of the Child is a punishment upon the mother not upon the child..

The innocent Child has eternal life with God after their spirit leaves this physical form of existence. The Child enters into Gods perfect eternal existence and is actually freed from the need to live a life in this imperfect world in an imperfect state of being,, avoiding all the suffering and difficulties that our human lives entail.. So for the little one it can be seen to be a blessing, an early mark out of physical human existence and into eternal perfect existence..

@Adstar But even if she was guilty, technically knowing she was pregnant and that she could be forced to miscarry still counts as forced abortion though. Hence abortion is okay IF it's "God," not okay if it's man even though half the things we know about this god of yours comes from man itself so unreliable narrators there but whatever.

The part where you say the innocent child who goes to heaven and all that after their mother is forced to miscarry, you can say the same for all aborted babies then, why be pro birth at all? This is actually Christian nihilism.

@SatanBurger Yes God can end a human life at any stage.. And yes abortion is evil if it is done by man.. God is not under the Law He designed for human beings to follow.. God is not a being at equal rank to us.. He is a whole level above..

Also innocent little ones have eternity with God because they still being innocent have no need for the atonement of the LORD Jesus.. So the loss is the woman's loss of her child not a loss for the child who enters into a perfect eternal existence.. Yes i say that for aborted babies as well.. But all involved in the abortion.. The woman and everyone who took part in the abortion and everyone who supports abortion are guilty of murder of an innocent and will be judged by God for their part in the killing of an innocent..

I am pro birth because God does not want anyone to murder babies.. I am pro birth because i want to save people from the eternal wrath of God.. I am pro birth and give warning to those who support abortion in the hope they will acknowledge their support for abortion is sin and accept the Atonement of The LORD Jesus and be saved from the eternal lake of fire..

@Adstar If God did not want anyone to murder babies, he wouldn't have devised a tool in which creates forced abortion against the mother's will, cheater or no cheater.

@SatanBurger God causes the miscarriage not the water.. Same thing with faith healers.. They cure no one.. It is the Holy Spirit of God that heals people through them.. Again God can and does end the life of every human being.. That can happen in the womb or when the person is 120 + years of age..

@Adstar Causing a miscarriage is technically abortion.

@SatanBurger AND as i said before God is justified in ending the life of anyone at any time.. We human beings are not justified in doing so... How many more time do i need to repeat that?
