An obvious question to the statement that the father and the mother are victims in the abortion question is, "victim of whom?" There were at least three people involved in the murder of the baby. The baby did not kill itself, so most definitely the baby is a victim of the murder. The doctor, who most definitely knew what he was doing, unjustly killed the baby, so most definitely the doctor is a murderer. The mother who cannot, in this country, say that the person in their womb is not alive and is not human, who therefore makes the decision to abort the baby and then submit herself to the act of the murder and therefore most definitely constitutes full and clear-minded participation in the murder, is most definitely a murderer. How in the name of sanity is the mother then a victim? Maranatha!

Why are there so many Christians and their respective churches that think baby murder is an option that their churches can either mount an offense against or not. Shouldn't the goal of eliminating baby murder be priority number 2, after making disciples of Christ number one?

Under our apostle paul’s ministry, today we are only saved by BELIEVING The Gospel of Jesus Christ, 1st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried, and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ Shed Blood is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart.

If anyone at Apologia sees this - someone tell Jeff and everyone else there that does debating about abortion, and things like that, to look into another law to add to the point about Roe v. Wade not being law. So, in the Constitution, we all have the right to life, no one can kill us (outside of self-defense, etc.), so there is also a law called "Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law" and the statute is 18 USC 242. This law stipulates that if any government agency, state, etc. makes a law that deprives anyone of their constitutional rights (which laws legalizing abortion obviously do), that itself is a crime, for which the punishment goes up to and includes death. So, it's a very serious crime.
I bring that up a lot when other pro-lifers try to argue that abortion is not murder because it's legal. I point out to them that it is actually NOT legal in the United States, it is a foundational part of our law that we all have the right to life - and they know *that* part. But they don't know that it's a crime to make any law that contradicts that by depriving someone/people of their rights. So, given that, abortion is already illegal, ergo, it fits the definition of murder EVEN THOUGH it's *technically* legal-ish... because it's really. Once they understand that abortion is already illegal, they usually get it. Also, a lot of times I have to explain to them what "unlawful" means in terms of killing a person. It doesn't mean "illegal" anyway. It means without a just cause - like self-defense or defense of another. Those are basically the only exceptions, the only times you can kill, and those do not apply to the unborn.

In what founding document did this country (America) acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as the ultimate authority?

[robi]

🤨 God is the law, you are only justified by law, he who rejects the law rejects Christ he brought about repentance by his sacrifice for a short time

I miss the good old days when tuning in to reformed pastors meant hearing a gospel centered sermon, not politics and who we are going to protest next.

[thecityofgod]

With such a strong passion for politics, why are you a pastor, and not a politician?

[thecityofgod]

So the apostles preached pro-life centered messages as they were dying... Whatever happened to gospel centered messages?
