If I have an abortion does that mean I go to hell?

Answer 1

Only difference in an unborn child and a 2 year old child to God is the age.

Luke 17
1Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Answer 2

if you have an abortion its a lifelong thought it will linger over you forever so in a way you make your own private hell on earth because you wonder about your baby what they would have been like, what kind of mother you would have been to them, could your baby have grown up to cure cancer, or become president. Others may understand why you did it but these questions will always make you think you may cry a lot if you truly are pregnant and don't believe you can handle having a baby in your life you may want to consider adoption it is the most selfless thing a mother can do its hard as well but if you believe in your decision that you did the right thing at least your baby has a chance at a better life.

Answer 3

Well personally i dont think there is anything that relates abortion to going to hell. If having a baby in your womb is likely to get your life in danger its better prefered to get that baby aborted. A note of caution: having abortion during mid pregnancy period is some what dangerous to you too. So the earlier you decide the better it is for you.

Answer 4

No, as long as you've acknowledged this sin and have sincerely asked God for forgiveness.

No sin is unforgivable -- not even the horrible sin of abortion.

In fact, there are some very active people in the pro-life movement who, in the past, either had abortions or performed them.

One of them is Bernard Nathanson, a doctor who performed thousands of abortions before becoming a Catholic -- and an ardent voice in the pro-life movement.

Answer 5

You've gotta go with what you believe. I believe there is no hell so I think you'll be fine. I'd recommend finding some (non-religious, non-pro-life, genuinely neutral) conselling, so that you can work out what *you* really believe.

You are the one that has to live with the consequences of your actions, not all the people giving the advice. It's important that a decision you make comes from your beliefs.

Answer 6

It genuinely believes on your spiritual beliefs.

If this is definitely in alignment with your spiritual beliefs, you're likely to believe this is what will happen; and nobody else can convince you otherwise...

If you're not quite sure if this is in alignment with your spiritual beliefs or not, research it. Read points of view from both sides. Try to bear in mind that each argument will try to extremely persuade you against the other - it's a passionate subject of debate - and make a balanced judgement.

If you don't particularly have spiritual views at all, you should go with what you feel is morally right in your heart.

Answer 7

No, it's just bad to have an abortion. It won't get you into hell just for that!

Answer 8

May you carefully and prayerfully consider your alternatives. Every year, hundreds of thousands of childless couples yearn to adopt a baby, and I urge you to consider this option. You then could have the satisfaction of knowing your baby will grow up in a loving, caring home.
Now, what if you have already had an abortion? You didn't say whether you have had an abortion or are contemplating one. If you have had an abortion, God wants to bring peace, forgiveness, and joy to your life—and He will if you will allow Him. The matter that is distressing you—the taking of life through abortion and anything else that separates you from God—needs to be confessed to the Lord, pleading the blood of Christ (Ephesians 1:7, Romans 3:25, 1 John 1:7) with its power to remove sin and guilt from anyone who asks. There is no question about God's forgiving, but sometimes we are not willing to commit our sin to Him for forgiveness.

As we commit the actions of the past to God, we receive peace, comfort, and assurance through Christ. We believe that God, through His Word and the power of His Spirit, can minister peace to you in the midst of your emotional distress; God's Word offers us the peace that passes all understanding. As you fully commit this problem to the Lord, you will begin a new relationship of hope and comfort in Christ which will assure you that "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).

David was deeply distraught about overwhelming conditions in his own life which blurred the sense of God's presence, but in Psalm 51 he expresses assurance that the joy and fellowship of the Lord have become real to him. In other words, he experienced the unfailing love and compassion of God in times when he was plagued with self-condemnation. After turning a problem over to the Lord, we often pick the problem up once more and agonize over it again and again. Instead, we must decisively choose to leave the matter with Him and put it out of our minds, refusing to think about it or dwell upon it in any way. When thoughts of guilt come to your mind, say to yourself and God, "Thank you, Lord, for your great forgiveness and mercy. I praise you that you told me to cast this care upon you (1 Peter 5:7), and I have done so. Forgive me for my worry about this matter; with your help, I will praise you instead."

Answer 9

If you have an abortion, you have committed murder.

What do you think?

But still, all can be forgiven through Jesus.

If you believe what God says in the Bible, many of these people who are answering you are totally giving you false answers.

Answer 10

Any sins are forgiven...almost.Suicide is the only one that isn't. If you do this, you must confess it to a priest. he will give you a cannon to fallow and you will be eventually forgiven. But only if you will deeply regret it...my opinion is that having an abortion isn't an option. Try imagine killing a little baby...your baby...
