I Have Something to Say

@MarkPaul Precisely. Women who have abortions are choosing not to have an unborn baby, often to the benefit of the child if that mother is not capable of taking care of it. Deadbeat dads (or moms) are choosing not to financially support a child that has already been born and needs their financial support to survive.

@MarkPaul If anything, my friend, it is you who has missed the mark.
You have in a nutshell stated mercy killing, when the action of abortion is in no way of such premise. When we hunger or lack, we look for how we might get what is needed, and we much effort, one, in most occasion, eventually does. So how is it too great a burden to do so for one more party? It is nothing more than selfish ambition & nothing of a sense of inability to provide "love and attention". Your POV is mightily deluded

@Lincoln98 Perhaps, my brother. But... are you sure you are not recklessly neglecting the needs of the woman (and/or man) and her free will in exchange for dogma? And, what kind of life do you want to sentence an unwanted (who most likely will be go on to be unloved by human attention) and yet unborn child? Are we not obligated to be conscious with our decisions especially when we are making those decisions for others?

@MarkPaul These articles extrapolates my point, & answers your statements/questions. please do have a read.

@Lincoln98 With all respect intended (and I mean that sincerely), this is a lazy way to argue a point. I appreciate that you have a carbon copy opinion of some random dude and opinions do count, but no one opinion is necessarily more relevant that another opinion. And, Matt Slick's lazy man's talking points fails to address what life could be like for someone who was never wanted, is never loved, and not about to be provided with financial, emotional, and social support.

I don't think Matt Slick or any other human is qualified to make a universal decision for every woman (and/or man). Some decisions are best left to the free will of individuals so that they can be self-directed through the Holy Spirit on terms that are beyond Matt Slick's spiritual authority. I find it disturbing that Matt Slick doesn't recognize his human limits. Truthfully, it makes me sad that you don't either.

@MarkPaul My referring you to the articles is not a failing on my side to want to rebuttal a point, as that is the rebuttal. I find no sensible reason to ensuing a spatial spate of points when I could just show you already the points in whole. Even if written by another & not I, we share the same convictions.
So do not mistake my reference for laziness, dear brother.

From your citing the Holy Spirit, I would come to suppose you are a Christian. If it be so, that we are Christ's, then is God's word ultimate & sovereign?

The Bible never specifically addresses the issue of abortion. However, there are numerous teachings in Scripture that make it abundantly clear what God’s view of abortion is. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knows us before He forms us in the womb. Psalm 139:13-16 speaks of God’s active role in our creation and formation in the womb. Exodus 21:22-25 prescribes the same penalty—death—for someone who causes the death of a baby in the womb as for someone who commits murder. This clearly indicates that God considers a baby in the womb to be as human as a full-grown adult. For the Christian, abortion is not a matter of a woman’s right to choose. It is a matter of the life or death of a human being made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26-27; 9:6).

Also, being a Christian, ought not we to walk by faith & not by sight? Atleast, it is God who promised He shall never "leave nor forsake" us. So why do we "worry about tomorrow" & not instead "pray without ceasing", having faith - as is demonstrated in the Bible by Christ, Paul, Abraham, David, Elijah?

Again, please do have a listen to these. Do forgive what you suppose to be laziness, I assure you it is no intention. Cheers

HE said HIMSELF, "I honour my word more than my name"

@Lincoln98 Maybe these words have meaning to you and me (although as you may have guessed from our previous interactions, I have been going through a crisis of faith of late), but it is not our place, role, or authority to enforce our beliefs on everyone else.

We can engage, we can plead, we can even attempt to influence others, but first, last, and foremost, we must not attempt to steal from everyone else God's gift to each of us of free will.

@MarkPaul A-fucking-men. 👏

@MarkPaul Mate, no enforcing has been done. If me sharing the gospel on here is equal to violating a person's freewill, then I am no less guilty than the sharing updats on how their day went. I speak, let He who would believe listen and be saved. It is their freewiil

@cereal The hypocrisy🤦

@Lincoln98 There is a fine line between enforcing and scaring people into believing they won't be saved for their use of their free will. Is it up to us to judge each other? Is that our purpose here? Is that what is wanted from us?
