The killing of anything is serious.
I find it interesting that the killing of a cow or lamb or deer is classified as such. - (called rendering)
But the killing of a human embryo is not! - (called aborted)
Double standard anyone!
Killing an animal for food is not murder. Animals are below humans in case you did not know. We have dominion over them.

Yup, that refutes your claim that He is a narcissist especially in the light that He knew there would be sin and that He would voluntarily die for us. Perhaps people deserve hell who refuse such great Love as they are perched in their ivory towers mocking.
more like strapped in to their out-of-control-train-of-pain terror trip.

I wouldn't say that. I would let them read the bible if they want. but i would also present my ideas of why i think the bible is wrong. then they can decide for themselves.

but the idea of me raising a child is very funny lol i would either be the most awesome parent or a very pathetic one, depending on how you look at it lol
Darkvoid, I must ask you a few questions. If you built a robot to clean your house or just to do some specific thing for you, but then when you made it, it did nothing you wanted it to do, would you be wrong for throwing the robot in the trash? You made it. If EVERYONE is guilty before God because we have fallen short of his glory and became pro-sin, would he be wrong to say, I'm going to justify you and a multitude of people? I mean we're all guilty anyway. If you make something for yourself then its for you right? Well God made all creation by him for him. We're all broken and seperated from God and those who love him only do because he first loved him. You are saying that the true God is wrong, and are only revealing that you imagine how God should be on your standards. We can't be saved by our works our "living right" because we have fallen short and our best deed is only good as a filthy rag. You can feed a million people without Christ, and thats like rubbing a dish rag in mud to wash dishes. Those plates won't be clean. Just seek him, get to know him, Don't let your imagination run you from the living God. I'm not taking a shot at you by no means. I hope you can see that God is not guilty for saving his people for himself. Run to Christ, he is mighty to save.

It was great. Went a friends house to a seafood boil. I was going to try crawfish for the first time. Picked one up. Looked at the itty bitty thing, and felt so sorry for it. I couldn't bring myself to ripping it in half and sucking the head out(thats how you eat them)...although I was not that compassionate towards the shrimp... THEY WERE GOOD!

I don't really think DarkVoid was being a troll. Just because someone raises questions about our faith and his and disagrees with things that we believe doesn't automatically mean he's trolling.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming...or the topic of abortion, which was the original question. ;)

something like that i guess haha have to figure out the details...
Read the bible and test what it says, if you can. That is how truth is discovered.

If you are not reading the bible you aren't really seeking truth.

Then, if you read about things that don't make sense or don't seem true to you, you can come back and ask questions about them.

Even if you are just a troll it would make you a much better one... Be the best you can be... lol

Like Elizabeth619, your head is full of mush.
You all hate the message. And you hate the messenger.
Pathetic bunch of laizzez faire Christians. You are all lukewarm, and will be spewed out.
What gall you people have to judge me as, "you hateful, vile person." While you befriend the baby killing, heathen.
I rebuke you all.

Now, I'll stop casting pearls to you bunch of swine.
I'll shake the dust off.
For God so Loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever should believe in Him should not perish but have eternal Life.

When I was young I knew what this verse said but I didn't know it with my heart.

Did you know that God loves you, even while you are a sinner?

Romans 5:8-11
[SUP]8[/SUP]But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.[SUP]9 [/SUP]Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Sorry about the side track.

Of course abortion is murder. Kind of obvious.

It would be considered murder if the father killed the fetus without the mothers consent. Everyone would be in an uproar over that. I'm not sure how the law would handle that one seeing how it would have to be hypocritical in prosecuting it.

It's funny how people say discrimination is bad. But what they really mean is that they only want you to discriminate against what they discriminate against and you must never discriminate against what they dont...

But let the mother kill the fetus without the fathers consent and not many care about that. It becomes a philosophical discussion...

What's the difference in who kills it, if abortion is not murder???

but:
for all those out there - man and woman - who have committed this sin before they were washed,
there is no one to accuse you.
it was forgiven.


anyone claiming this sin can be committed after being saved should examine themselves, if they be in the faith.

Abortion is us (humans:corporately speaking) taking upon ourselves God's vengeance, which belongs to God, in regards to our sin on an other human life that has nothing to do with our sin; but which is only a result of our sin(s).

oh i can't wait to see banned next to your name:)

there are tons of places you can go to talk about how cool abortion is, and how evil you think God is.
this isn't one of them.

tick tock...
Why would you want me banned? i havent done anything worthy of a ban...you sound rather spiteful.

also, i don't see abortion as "cool", i just don't have a problem with it.

and this is a christian site, where else am i supposed to talk with christians about their god? I will state my thoughts about your god but i do try to keep it respectful (no insults) but i have already been insulted multiple times...



look how i laugh in the face of danger.
look how i can get christians fighting with each other (because i am a bored troll).
look how provocative and smart i am.
not.
This is not my attitude at all. sorry if i appear that way to you.
is everyone who is not christian and has a lengthy discussion in the forums without getting saved a troll?

according to you He didn't.
so go on your merry way and -

'do what thou will' be the whole of the Law for you.

who knows....you might even get a few fun days out of it.

I don't really agree with crowley just so you know.
Just cuz someone wants to hurt others does not mean they should do it.

But god did not create "robots" he created people with a will to be free.

he should not have given us a "freewill" if he was just going to punish us for what HE gave us.

a dish rag in mud to wash dishes...really? well i think i will continue to feed people who are starving even if i don't have god... i mean for those starving people, i dont think they really care if a christian or nonchristian give them food, they are still grateful for the food.

so i dont think a nonchristians good deeds mean less than a christians...mayb they just mean less to god.

well thats just it. i don't care what people think about me lol

wasn't trying to be offensive, i just could not really make the points i wanted to by wording it any other way than i did.
That could be a problem then, you see for the majority of people here, they do care what people think. We believe in the Bible and all it contains, the revelation of God to us through His Word. As we see this, we see Christ. We care very much and do not want to offend. So posting such a post, well, it will offend some. Were you looking to learn what Christians believe? because this is Christian Chat? clue there. But, even then, some Christians due believe abortion is OK. For me, and many others, abortion is the killing of an unborn child. This in itself is so difficult to state as I know many people who love Jesus who will read that and be so distraught, this is not easy. Many Christians have had abortions, its made by man into such a very complex issue. Its a contentious question but to God....not complex. For God, and for me, abortion is the killing, the taking of an unborn babies life. The baby is often referred to as a fetus...less upsetting? but it is a baby and from the moment it is formed, as the cells divide from 2 to 4, it is life. God gives ALL life and tells me He knows every hair on my head, He knows me as I was knitted together in my mothers womb. This is very hard for many to accept and I understand how it can be impossible if you are not a believer, saved by Jesus Christ, who died on the cross. We want to be in control, we want to say when life is given and taken away. But God says no. So, the answer is not difficult. Abortion is murder, it is killing BUT so is holding hatred in our hearts, being hateful to another. The latter is as murder. I do not think any of us are free from that accusation? so lets not focus on abortion....lets not be so cruel and think, well I am ok, I have not done that! Let us instead just accept our sinful natures and focus on learning about Gods Will, His freedom and how He wants us to be blessed, through the acceptance of our sinfulness and how we can all be free through our genuine repentance. We can lay it all down at the foot of the cross and be free!! How amazing is that? Bless you, in His name, <><

ok, sorry. maybe i didn't fully realize the power of my words.

i'm not a very sensitive person (when it comes to words) but i should remember others may not be as indifferent as i am...

If the developing little blob of soon-to-be human embryo has a soul at the time of the abortion, it is murder to have an abortion. When exactly that is is surely debatable, and I have no idea.

But honestly, it's hard for me to be sad when I hear about them, because heaven is a lot better than cruel life on earth.

They are just worried you will confuse new seekers I think.
