Is it true that God is not Pro-Life?

Question

That's what I concluded from reading the Bible :)

Kings 6:28-29 “And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.”

Matthew 19:29 If you really loved Jesus then he insists that you abandon your wife and children for him. Only that way will he allow you to go to heaven.

Samuel 15:3 God commands the death of helpless "suckling" infants. This literally means that the children god killed were still nursing.

Psalms 135:8 & 136:10 Here god is praised for slaughtering little babies.

Psalms 137:9 Here god commands that infants should be “dashed upon the rocks”

Kings 15:16 God allows the pregnant women of Tappuah (aka Tiphsah) to be “ripped open”.

Answer 1

Well your conclusions are wrong, do you do any research before you paint God and His Son of some kind of a perversion-God is not an obscene personage!

2 Kings---Where do you get the idea that God directed the Israelites to eat their children from this text. God warned the Israelites what would happen because of their many perversion, which included child sacrifice, sacred prostitution's.

Matthew--So Jesus is a home wrecker?-
--what would happen on the relatives parts is they would cause the separation because they would either not understand the Christian way of life or hate christianity

--Ps 137--Who would be happy to do such a thing, you would rather believe that God commanded such perverse act, rather than find out that when the enemy of Israel defeated them & they indeed would carry out atrocities, as they were carried off to Babylon

Ps. 135--So you say that God did not have a right to bring the 10 plagues upon Egypt after they were warned to let the Israelites go and great signs were given before he took this severe action on Pharoah and his house hold

--You indeed need to do some honest research before you accuse God of unjust things.

Answer 2

for the matthews, 19:29, it states the term as in, if they are disloyal or are demonic, or dont believe that leaving them for the better of many is right.
For psalms 135:8 and the other one : i dont think God is the daughter of babylon!
For samuel: I have no clue what version of bible you, have but thats only one of them. SUCKLING INFANTS IS A TERM ONLY USED IN LIKE THREE BIBLES, AND OBVIOUSELY, GOD MUST HAVE KNOWN AHEAD OF TIME THAT THE INFANTS WERE GOING TO GROW TO DESTROY MENA ND WOMENS FAITH IN HIM!!! use your common sense, girl. Read the chapter of this, the whole thing!
On Kings 6:28-29: read this again, but also 30 and 31. what anti christian website gave you these. God loves everyone, and is of course against evil. get right with God, girl!

Answer 3

God holds the key to life and death for all individuals not just those in the instances you give. In fact, every person who ever died, died only because God brought their days to an end.

No, God is not "pro-life" because the term applies to humans who refuse to take the place of God in the life and death of other humans. We leave that place to God, since, as Creator, it is his right to determine the days we each have on the earth.

You bring out verses that you think are horrifying. You can't believe that a loving God could be so harsh, but reality is that the Bible teaches that God is both loving and just, that the wrath of God is a fearful thing, that right now he is holding back his wrath that as many as possible might repent and come to him through the shed blood of Jesus, and that one day that time for repentance will end, and he will release his wrath once again.

Yes, God's judgment on sin has always been fearful and horrible. Yet, we don't have to fear his wrath if we rest in his amazing grace and forgiveness. That's the part of God you seem to ignore.

If you really want to understand God, you will need to read and study all of Scripture. If you don't want to understand God and prefer to face him some day when his full wrath is revealed, that is your choice, though not a particularly wise one in my opinion.

Answer 4

you cant take verses and read them just by their self. you are trying to make it say what you want. Read the entire thing! Yes it is horrible what happened in Kings 6:28. It was during a famine, they had turned from God. Read the entire chapter, you will see what is going on.
You seem so amazed that horrible things happened in bible times. Why is this? Do horrible things not happen every day , here and now?

Answer 5

1.That has nothing to do with God.That verse is talking about a woman,who made that choice by herself.
2.That verse is talking about rewards in heaven-If someone has to leave his property for the sake of Jesus,he will receive a hundred times more than what he had to give up.
3.This verse does command the killing of the Amalekites,not just 'suckling' infants,which isn't even metnioned in my translation.
4.This verse isn't praising the killing of babies,but praising the Lord for taking them out of slavery in Egypt.Pharoah had plently of time to react to the warning Moses gave.
5.God does not commad smashing babies against the rocks.This Psalm was written by the Israelites,remembering the destruction of Jerusalem by the Edomites.

Answer 6

first of all, you are taking a TON of them out of context. if you really knew what that chapter was about you'd see that it is a MORTAL HUMAN king. Not God. in the Psalms 136 verse, it doesn't praise killing babies.
also, have you ever heard the story of Abraham? It's in the Old Testament. God told him to sacrifice his son. Abraham almost did, but an angel stopped him. Abraham said he was merely obeying God. so He rewarded Abraham by offering a ram.

Answer 7

You are quoting the Old Testiment which is the jewish Bible from before Jesus. It is only included in the Christion Bible because of it's 300 prophecies fulfilled by Christ. The new trstiment tells of our real covinent with God which Jesus taught us. You need to read the whole thing and not take one line out of context.

Answer 8

I think it is unfair to proclaim that God is or isn't pro-life. Taking passages from the bible can work in favor of either side depending on the passages taken. (Take anything out of context and it can help prove any point)

I assume that you take this to mean HE isn't pro-life. I respect your opinion, I think God would take every situation an a case to case basis. What is wrong for one person may be right for another and GOD is aware of the difference.

Answer 9

Most of these stories are in reference to people who believe as yourself. They show us that people today are no different than they were then. If you only knew the story behind the story, but your ignorance is understood. Now go read - and understand the wisdom.

Answer 10

wrong again. don't you have some reading to do? you skipped a few hundred pages.

In context......

"5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill .

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.

7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
"Tear it down," they cried,
"tear it down to its foundations!"

8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-

9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks."

God takes care of HIS people and deals harshly with those who attack them. Thanks for the Bible lesson, a good one! And keep in mind that God does not like it when you take His words and twist them to make Him appear to be evil. He is a JUST God and will issue justice to those who reject His plan.

You missed the verses that tell of His amazing Love, Grace and Mercy. You missed the best and focused on how He handled those who attacked HIS people.

Are you in the habit of attacking God's People? Think about it.
