Abortion: Why does the Bible say "Because with lies you have made the hearts of the rightous sad".?

Question

God anticipated the pro life movement would try and twist the minds of His people into following a life of sinful intolerence: Eziekiel 13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: God knew the pro life movement would subvert his free will given to mankind. 19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? God knew that the pro life movement would twist his words and convince millions of their followers with lies and hateful actions killing doctors, hating women and men and stopping Gods willful abortions and miscarriages

No Bible does it say that abortion is killing. That is simply something you have made up to cover your guilt for harassing women that follow God and do as he says. So with abortion, there is no death and with pro life there is death. If you have any verse that supports your point of view then post it.The fact that we are all formed in the womb proves nothing. God aborts many of those he forms in the womb. And God will continue to abort.
When a woman prays to God about abortion and he tells her to abort, is that a sin? And just because God does not give you permission to abort, that does not mean that he fails to give others permission.
Stop calling abortion murder if you have no proof. Otherwise you are a sinner.

It should say above--- No where in the bible does it say that abortion is wrong.--- Sorry for the typo

Answer 1

Here is what the bible says about abortion:

Exodus 21:22-25: "If men quarrel, and one strike a woman with child, and she miscarry (accidental abortion) indeed, but live herself: he shall be answerable for so much damage as the woman's husband shall require." Only if the woman dies because of the abortion does the perpetrator deserve death. "But if her death ensue thereupon, he (the husband) shall render life for life."

In other words, the accidental abortion is not considered killing a person. If it had been, when the woman miscarried, the perpetrator would be punished equally, "life for life." The Bible, however, differentiates between the resultant miscarriage and the death of the mother. It is only outside the womb that the human becomes "alive" in the eyes of Judeo-Christian law.

Again, in Numbers 5:11-21, the issue of abortion is discussed in the Scriptures. In this particular situation, a man, if he suspects his wife has cheated on him, can take her to a priest where she will be given a liquid concoction which aborts the fetus. If she is guilty of this trespass, "may he (the Lord) make thy thigh to rot, and may they belly swell and burst asunder. Let the cursed water enter into thy belly, and may thy womb swell and they thigh rot." (15:21-22)

The "cursed water" is designed to cause a spontaneous abortion. This could be both punishment for cheating, and assurance for the husband that the children born by his wife will indeed be his seed. (With inheritance, first-son issues were important.) Either way, the fetus is aborted - and by a priest.

"For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for Thou art fearfully wonderful (later texts were changed to read "for I am fearfully and wonderfully made"); wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Thy book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them."

Psalm 139:13-16

Although this passage does make the point that God was involved in the creation of this particular human being, it does not state that during the creation the fetus is indeed a person. According to Genesis, God was involved in the creation of every living thing, and yet that doesn't make every living thing a full human person. In other words, just because God was involved in its creation, it does not mean terminating it is the same as murder. It's only murder if a full human person is destroyed.

But even if we agreed to interpret these verses the same way that anti-abortion Christians do, we still have a hard time arguing that the Bible supports an anti-abortion point of view.

What about this - does this passage support life?

God is willing to maul children to death if they make fun of a bald guy who just happens to be in God's favor. You think I'm joking, but I'm not. In the book of Second Kings, our hero, the Prophet Elisha, who was quite bald, so it seems, was taunted by a group of young boys. Elisha's response was bitter and cruel:

"...as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, 'Go up, you baldhead; go up you baldhead!' When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number."

2 Kings 2:22-24

Answer 2

I feel no need to look up your verses or study the bible and what it does and does not say about abortion but, I do believe that the pro-life movement is very wrong. As a woman and later as a woman who's had an abortion, I feel the hatred of the pro-lie often enough. It's often ignorance and yes, sometimes it is down right hateful. I've never been convinced by any Christian with their versus that abortion is wrong. Then again, the bible is never very clear about anything except the love of Jesus Christ and isn't that all that matters?

Answer 3

Thats why Jesus says one must have faith. Without it. it will mean nothing. Jesus would also know if your just praying to him, just to see whathe said was true. If you believe in him as you say. Then where is your faith? Of course its not going to work. If you are being selfish. and ask for yourself. Instead of others. But you have to be sincere. But you also need to understand. that if its not that important at the time. You will not receive it. Jesus didn't lie. You just believe he did. Because you feel your prayers have went unanswered. You also fail to see. That just because you don't get it right away. that's no sign it won't happen later on. If you ask for something you need, and if its important. then you will receive it. But once you stop believing. then your right your prayers won't be answered. So don't blame Jesus, because you didn't get something you wanted at the time. I

Answer 4

?? Get a grip, please.

Pro-life people don't hate women. Abortion kills more women (preborn) every year than any Pro-life person. A handful of demented have broken the commandment of 'thou shalt not commit murder' by killing abortion providers. You can't lump the whole group together.

It was also written,"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you." Jeremiah1:5

Answer 5

well is it not great that god knows the heart of all people and knew people like you would come along. twisting scripture into what it does not mean. . 2 Peter 3:16 describes also " as also in all his epistles,speaking in them of these things,in which are some things hard to understand.which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. "
