Like I said – you’re a cliché – an angry little man who believes charlatans like Alexander Hislop and Loraine Boettner’s heavily debunked works as the basis for your “history”. Whether you know it or not – THEY supplied your “facts”.
Finally – I would LOVE to know what your hatred of Christ’s Church has to do with your complete disregard for life and support of abortion.
So, what’s up with that??
It's not required under such circumstances, you should know better than to ask such a question, as many specific situations are not necessarily addressed in scripture, even though the broad or general principles are there?
Peter DeRosa?? That explains a LOT.Actually, I've never read Boettner's works, and Hisplop was disjointed and boring. The best of my studies was "Vicars of Christ: The Dark Years of the Papacy" written by best selling author, Peter de Rosa, an ordained Roman Catholic priest, and his subsequent revelation of the conspiracy of Adolf Hitler, a Roman Catholic Church and the Catholic Church to cleanse the world of Jews. For centuries, the Roman Catholic Church has herded God's beloved Jews into ghettos to persecute them, and isolate them from the rest of the world. Adolf Hitler, iconic Roman Catholic, an exemplary example of the fruit of Satan's Roman Catholic religion, both of which are the greatest curse the world has ever known.
I have never said I was in any way pro-abortion. I am not. That's just your Roman Catholic mentality working overtime. Children are a gift from God, and as such, this gift comes with no strings attached, as a gift should be. What I am against, is control-freak religious nutcases, that try to enforce their evil demented nazi-like un-Biblical ideology upon everyone else. That is what the god of Islam demands, and now the pope has formed an alliance with Islam declaring God and the god of Isalm are one and the same God. Enjoy your delusion.
Roman Catholics regard God as some sort of dumbwit, who was too stupid to include a simple commandment: "Thou shalt not have an abortion." God must be so grateful that Romanism came along to rescue Him from His own stupidity!! Or was it Satan?? Duh!!
You're stubborn as a mule!Supporting your hypothesis against abortion is not necessary, because it is not Biblical.
There is nothing to reply to. I am in no way interested in the additions you have written to the Bible. If God chose to leave the issue of abortion out of the Bible , I am sure that represents HIS will!You're stubborn as a mule!
If you read the entire post, which I'm sure that you did but are unable to reply, you'll understand that not every sin under the sun is addressed in scripture.
Very bizarre interpretive practice, completely unqualified!There is nothing to reply to. I am in no way interested in the additions you have written to the Bible. If God chose to leave the issue of abortion out of the Bible , I am sure that represents HIS will!
You cannot die from an abortion if you have never been a living being. A fetus expelled in an abortion, is not a living being.
The non-biblical anti-abortion cult, is just a religion of their own fantasies.
Nowhere does the Bible ever say "Thou shalt not have an abortion!!"
Psalm 139:13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
He's a baby, a living being, long before he is born. Do you not have children? Did you not feel the baby moving in his mother's womb and listen to his heartbeat before he was born? Pretending his is not a human is absurd. Abortion is killing a human being.No big deal! He knew us all, those whom "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world . . ." Ephesians 1:4
Simply, He knew everything that would happen before the foundation of the world. He knew who would be born and who wouldn't. He knew who would be aborted by God Himself and others. God facilitates abortions, called spontaneous abortions, or miscarriages. God wouldn't do something sinful would He??
An unformed body is not a living being. It does not become a living being until birth, when God breathes into it the breath/spirit of life, it is a dead pile of dirt, "the body apart from the spirit is dead. James 2:26

Have it your way, but the Bible declares numerous times that the blob of dirt in a womb is not a living being until God breathes into it the breath of life. Flesh and blood do not inherit eternal life, only the spirit does, and the lifeless pile of dirt in the womb returns to the ground from whence it came.He's a baby, a living being, long before he is born.

The verse I quoted says God knit our inmost being together while we were still in the womb. What do you think our inmost being is? Our soul! None of the verses you quoted say God only gives us a spirit after birth. And God gives us our days before we are born. To kill that child takes all the days God planned for him away. We don't have the right to do that. Only God has the right to give and take life.Have it your way, but the Bible declares numerous times that the blob of dirt in a womb is not a living being until God breathes into it the breath of life.

God forms man from a pile of dust. It has no life on it's own, it is created merely as a body to contain and convey the spirit of man. Then when the fetus is fully formed, God gives man his spirit, when He breathes into man's the nostrils the breath of life, and he becomes a living being. And then when death comes:
"Man's body returns to the dust from whence it came; And the spirit returns to God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:7
Job declares:
“Behold, I belong to God like you;
I too have been formed out of the clay."
“The Spirit of God has made me,
"the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33
"Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
For as long as life is in me,
And the breath of God is in my nostrils" Job 27
If your Bible says that a fetus is a living being, you must have a different Bible than I do!
Hi Stan, you seem quite sure of this. :)
Personally I wouldn't risk standing where you stand on this issue.
You may just be wrong.
I think God sees things differently.

Now you are just making stuff up.No! God does not give us our days before we were born . . . if we were not going to be born; at least not with the fetus that is in this womb, but another fetus He has prepared to accept our spirit, the essence of who we really are.
I don't know if the new Chinese do , but my son-in-laws mother (born in China ) says that the baby's first birthday is just after they are born.
So many verses speak of God knowing us in the womb ...
Tell a fetus who is screaming as they rip him into bits , that he cannot feel it, and he is just a lump of dead dirt and has no life.
