Does God "forgive" women who have abortions? Or do they go to "hell"?

Question

I've heard from the Catholics that Jesus will forgive you as long as you accept him to be your saviour. (I was brought up catholic so I know this to be a catholic fact so to speak). So why do I hear other "Christians" telling women they're going to hell? Didn't we learn how to have compassion from Christ after all?

Answer 1

Hell is a myth. Abortion should at least be avoided - especially if it is being practiced as a form of birth control - that's gross.

Answer 2

Anything or just about anything can be forgiven by God if you repent with a contrite heart, meaning if you truly feel sorry for your sin and, this is critical, avoid REPEATING it in the future. If someone gets an abortion, truly feels horrible about having their unborn son or daughter dismembered for their own convenience and repents, I mean REPENTS and means it, then that is one thing. You will know if God has taken away your sin because it won't weigh on you anymore. As human beings we're all sinners, me, you, everyone. Repentance and learning from your sin is the key though. Like I said if that woman truly repents for her horrific sin of having her unborn child that was in her care killed off so she could have a more convenient life without it she can be forgiven. However if she goes back out and gets herself in the same position again and says "Oh well, God forgave me once so I'm sure He will forgive me again", ask yourself: how many times is He supposed to keep forgiving you for continuing in the same sin? You're absolutely not going to fool Him, not for one moment. He knows exactly what each and every one of us is. God doesn't send anyone to Hell. As sinful human beings we send ourselves there with our own actions and stubbornness.

Answer 3

I don't appreciate it when Christians say stuff like that. If they can find some stuff in the Bible about how people are doomed to Hell with no chance of forgiveness for doing ANYTHING that is sinful, then I'll listen. As a Christian, I try to look at the truth in the bible. Not what other people, even what other Christians, say. Saying abortion-commiting women cannot be forgiven contradicts the Bible at so many levels...

Answer 4

I'm a christian. If you ask Jesus for forgiveness, and you sincerely mean it, then you will be forgiven. If you do a sin over and over again, He might not forgive you because you do not mean it when you are asking for it. I do not know the exact verse and where it is in the bible, but i do believe that that is the correct answer. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

the bible says in JN14:6 Iam the way, the truth and the life no man come unto the Father except by me. First you receieve Him as your Savior, believing that you sin, and the punishment for sin is death, and Jesus died on the cross to take away our sins. Repent and ask Him to forgive you and He will 1jn1:9 . the only sin that is not forgiven and you will burn eternally in the lake of fire is not believing Jesus came and died to take away the sins of the world. blasphming. Bless you and God is Kind, compassionate, forgiving and loving. you will be in heaven just receive Him.

Answer 6

There is no sin that you or I could commit that God will not forgive. Every sin requires payment. God doesn't want any sin in His presence. If you you follow Christ, your sins have been paid for and removed as far as the East is from the West.

Answer 7

Thats the reason God sent Jesus. We have sinned to no end. We only seek that which is for us. When will we realize that God sent his son to save us from sins. Sins that we the people commit.Thank you Jehovah for giving me a Way.luke21:25
“Also, there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations, not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation, while men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near.”

Answer 8

I would like to say.. Yes there is forgiveness and God doesn't rate sin. He is a God of love and he says in his word if you come to him with "true" repentance. Meaning, You will turn from your sin. HE will cast your sin as far as the East is from the West. Meaning.. HE REMEMBERS YOUR SIN NO MORE... I think that proves that type of GOD who loves us and there is always forgiveness and love.. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

everyone. I MEAN EVERYONE deserves Hell. Praise God, Jesus paid the price for every sin (including every abortion) ever commited in the whole world's existance and salvation awaits all who will recieve it by faith. Just because you are forgiven, however, doesn't make it right. It is still murder. However, no woman who had an abortion deserves to go to Hell anymore than I do. We both deserve an eternity in Hell. God stands ready to forgive us both! And we can both get on our feet and live Godly lives now.

Answer 10

he's the conflict God of the classic Hebrews. They mandatory a God that replaced into so undesirable and poor that something of their international would only run in terror from them. It surprisingly plenty worked. they had to combat the folk already residing of their promised land, its worrying that God gave them belongings already occupied. The Hebrews did no longer have plenty reverence for the fetus. there replaced right into a ceremony the priest achieved if a guy felt the toddler his spouse replaced into carrying wasn't his. It in touch ingesting a form of mixture that could injury the unborn fetus. If the toddler survived it belonged to the husband if she miscarried then it meant she were untrue, and the toddler would die, and her too . historic Hebrews felt a toddler won its soul on the 1st breath, through fact Adam replaced into no longer alive till God breathed into him. nonetheless others felt it exceeded off while the girl replaced into first waiting to sense the fetus pass. delivery administration and abortions weren't uncommon in historic cases.

Answer 11

Oh dear, that is dreadful. I agree. I am of the opinion that abortion is tantamount to murder, let there be no mistake. However, let us keep in mind that Moses killed a man, and that St. Paul's *job* was killing Christians before he was saved. If they are the heroes of the faith (and let's not forgive David --- the man after God's own heart --- also a murderer!), we know certainly that God can forgive a woman who has an abortion.

I am so sorry that you have run into such beastly people. Please know that God's heart breaks not just for the baby killed, but for the mother and her emotional / spiritual aftermath. He LONGS to reconcile her to Himself. All it takes, truly, is faith on Jesus --- who died for all the sin of those who believe on Him, even murder. Not only that, but He came to set the captives free. He can heal a woman of her pain and shame. I know not all women who have had abortions deal with this, but many do, and Jesus' blood covers that. By His stripes, we are healed. :)
