🎉amen , 🙏 i had to hear this because God is in control in Jesus name amen 🙏
Plz list the verse on the screen when quoting it, for good teaching practices.
It's pretty simple from the perspective of Christianity:
"Thou shall not kill"
If you believe in a God, then you would believe that conception is where life begins. If you don't believe in a God, then that will be irrelevant for you.
Yes it is life sustained by the mother. Called growth life. Not having its' own life called Born. What does born mean. Soul life begins at birth. It is killing or stoping a life on the way but not murder it is a life not registered by God.
@@certaindisciple1981 Jeremiah 1:1
How about governments killing women and children? Does native Americans or muslims factor into to your belief system. Jesus christ made it a point to not judge, how about those scriptures!?
@@certaindisciple1981 Specifically read Jeremiah 1:4-5
Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
BEFORE I FORMED YOU in the BELLY I knew you;
and BEFORE you camest forth OUT OF THE WOMB
I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Easy, then don't get an abortion if you believe this and allow other people who don't believe this to still have access to their healthcare.

That passage was referring to Samuel the prophet, and was never intended to refer to everyone. Unless you think you're a prophet lol, in which case you're already committing blasphemy
@@iamgod3411 oh and who's the one who thinks " I AM GOD" LOL....Take your meds and leave me alone.
@@secondlifearound You're ridiculous for thinking that the all-powerful Creator of the universe couldn't start a simple RUclips account. Nobody seriously reads my holy book anymore, so I decided that RUclips would be my next best divine outlet. Don't doubt me, lest you become a fool like the other atheists and be judged. You're already on thin ice for blatantly insulting your Heavenly Father, but I may decide to forgive you later if you get down on your knees and ask me reeeal nicely. I Am here telling you directly to have faith in my message, child. Yet you continue to doubt, because you have let sin overcome your mind and can no longer see or hear Me. Go on, choose hell if you'd prefer.
@@secondlifearound the scripture says I ordained thee a prophet which he was speaking to a prophet not any unborn child. Just cause God knows you in the womb doesn't mean he didn't kill unborn child. Also it talked about a women cheating will be told to drink this water with I think temple dust and if she was guilty her womb would swell and cause a miscarriage but if she innocent the child will stay alive. Kind of weird god says killing a child is murder and is sin. (Sin= anything god wouldn't do.) Then in multiple situations is killing not only unborn baby but already born baby's and even young children.
@happyface4711 Your also not reading these scriptures in context. There was a reason for these deaths. God is GOD and can choose to handle things a lot different than us because He knows the beginning and the end of ALL things.
The deaths you are mentioning were needed in order to avoid even more suffering and injustice in the future. As well as protecting the BLOOD LINE of the Messiah before the incarnation of Christ.
Excellent video.
Amen and Amen 🙏🏽 scriptural truth!
What a misunderstanding of the verses you picked especially.
[Exo 21:22 KJV] 22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].
IT SAYS THAT THE MAN THAT CAUSES THE LOST TOBE FINED (PUNISHED) NOT PUT TO DEATH. But if the woman dies it will be life for life.
That's what I read also
that's incorrect, it says that if the child dies the man should die as well.
@certaindisciple
I agree with you. But the point here is also the fruit of the womb is recognized as a child, aka. a life, not a mere lump of cells.
@@peterchou6557 actually not a child at all but a property nice try though and before you argue I've studied theology and was a Christian for 14 years local missionary for 2
According to this passage @ Exodus 21:22 , the bible clearly says "... Yet no mischief follow..." . This Shows that the person who attacked the woman and lead to the death of her fruit, yet not intentionally was to be punished and fined .
Now abortion isn't an unintentional act. It's done out of will and intent . This is regarded as mischief. Thus the law of " A life for a Life..." will apply in this instance.
Gen 9:6 “Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.
Scriptures clearly states that " the life , is in the blood" .
This means that a baby in the womb is a living being. So as far as abortion involves blood shed. Who ever sheds another's blood is blood guilty and the blood of that peron will be asked of him , in the day of Judgement. Be it a an unborn baby or the one that has been given birth to.
I appreciate that when you recognized those rare circumstances in which abortion is necessary to prevent death of the mother that the government should not be part of that decision. However, the voting record of evangelicals does not allow for that circumstance. Instead they overwhelmingly vote against any exceptions. These women should not be excluded from consideration due to rarity. My wife is a Christian prenatal genetic counselor, so your rarity is her and her patients’ every day.
Read
Numbers 5:1'
Numbers 3:15-16
Exodus 21:22-23
Hosea 13:16
you make up your own mind.
Jesus said that you shall know them by their fruit. Fruit also means a child. So, whatever you do to the child, we shall know you because of what you do to your fruit.
Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? Matthew 7:9-12
Psalm 139 is poetry. Jeremiah is specifically speaking about Jeremiah, a prophet. Exodus was just misrepresented - here the killing of the mother and baby required death as justice, but harm to the baby only, and not the mother only req’d payment.
Numbers 5 however is relevant as arguably an example of biblically required abortion, but this was not mentioned.
This context is wrong. The word is abortion, it’s miscarry. Also the verse implies the woman will be allowed to CONCEIVE children, meaning she isn’t pregnant. Not give BIRTH to the child is question.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ignored Numbers 5 : 11 - 31.
Book of Enoch 1: Chapter 68
17. The name of the fifth is Kasyade: he discovered to the children of men every wicked stroke of spirits and of demons:
18. The stroke of the embryo in the womb, to diminish it; the stroke of the spirit by the bite of the serpent, and the stroke which is given in the mid-day by the offspring of the serpent, the name of which is Tabaet.
Book of Jasher: Chapter 2
20. And some of the sons of men caused their wives to drink a draught that would render them barren, in order that they might retain their figures and whereby their beautiful appearance might not fade.
21. And when the sons of men caused some of their wives to drink, Zillah drank with them.
22. And the child-bearing women appeared abominable in the sight of their husbands as widows, whilst their husbands lived, for to the barren ones only they were attached.
23. And in the end of days and years, when Zillah became old, the Lord opened her womb.
So how about the breath of life?
Exactly it was quoted three times in the Old testament and one time in the New testament these Christians love cherry picking
life is in the blood
Children in the womb have the breath of life in them and are therefore living beings.
it will be erroneous to assume that the baby is not a living being because it is not yet born.
from when the baby was conceived, life had come into it and so it grows and matures like all of us and oxygen is needed to enable the baby grow.
abortion is murder
Ever heard of metaphorical contex
who determines the metaphorical context? when is it metaphorical and when is it literal?@@fallon-may0935
Abortion is murder makes me mad that I’m living in this generation.
It makes me happy that I'm living in this generation knowing how much more agency modern women have. Pro-choice for life.
It’s murder.
Thou shall not kill, then God commands you to kill I’m confused
Thou shall not murder is a more accurate translation. Murder, meaning unlawful killing, is not permitted. However, the Bible makes clear that killing in certain other circumstances, such as war, is sometimes permitted.
I just used the info you provided to correct a man who calls himself “JeGAYsus” who, in one of his videos, is trying to twist the Bible to say that it condones abortion and doesn’t consider a child in the womb a human being. I knew he was wrong, but you pointed me to the info I needed to correct him not only on a moral and logical level, but on a biblical level to expose his lies about God and the Bible. Subscribing and sharing. God bless you. 🙏
The beauty of the Bible is that it is open to interpretation. That’s why there’s so many Christian denominations. We can’t decide on what the Bible is actually saying so we split up into smaller groups that do their own thing. This isnt a secret. It’s very obvious. And there is definitely a recipe for abortion in the Bible. It doesn’t matter if the woman was unfaithful or not. Hope your parents are walking on the long and narrow or God might come for YOU. How loving, right?
Thank you for your clear articulation on why killing a pre-born child is a sin.
Not according to the bible. Numbers 5
@@greed0599 Numbers 5 is NOT talking about an abortion. It's talking about a curse of miscarriage upon an unfaithful woman.
@@VicGeorge2K6 you do realize that miscarriage is categorized as an abortion because it is just stopping of a medical condition which is pregnancy in this example
@@VicGeorge2K6 Does cursing a woman with a miscarriage make God an abortionist? The baby wasn't even killed to save her life or because she was raped, but just for something as simple as an affair. Yet in the eyes of God that pre-born killing was justified.
@@iamgod3411 GOD don't agree with no k!lling at all in any form. And God doesn't cause miscarriages on purpose. It all depends on how and what was the cause of the miscarriage usually its something went wrong somewhere
I’m not pro-choice, but come on, if a mother could die from giving birth, don’t pressure her into going through with the pregnancy in hopes of a miracle.
You pray for her
Your life isn’t the most important thing to save, your soul is. Those who lose their life will save it. Read that part of what Jesus says. When you save your life you lose it.
Ypu guys really love to watch women die
@@Blablabla44475Jesus will forgive you for having an abortion. If your daughter is raped and pregnant at 13, save her life. Don't force her to very possibly die in child birth for brownie points with God.
Excellent point. Not only did experts say it is rare that the mother's life is threatened, but the Bible said it is murder, and who are we to disagree with the Word of God?@@Blablabla44475
The verses mentioned in this video are taken out of context, if you read carefully the whole text and not just the verses, you can realized that they don't say what is interpreted in the video...
As a lesbian, I am so blessed that you support my wife and I's adoption! We're saving a life! Our adopted baby would have been aborted. Thank you :)
The bible also clearly states that a woman shouldnt lie with another woman sooo.......
This fellow has badly misunderstood Exodus 21:22-25.
What about Numbers 11 thru 31?
A very important message, thanks. If somebody can't raise a child, then giving it for adoption is a good option. Much better than killing.
How about the old testament when a man beats a woman and kills a pregnant child, it's not a life before the breath. Its scripture.
It's more than just murder. It's child sacrifice, which God condemns in the Bible. We just don't sacrifice the child to a pagan idol, we just sacrifice it for convenience sake.
Yes, amen! Totally agree! It’s so wrong, but people who do not believe in God will not see any of this.
Numbers 5 verses 19 through 22:
Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, “If no man has lain with you, if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings the curse. But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you,” -let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse and say to the woman-“the Lord make you an execration and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your uterus drop, your womb discharge; now may this water that brings the curse enter your bowels and make your womb discharge, your uterus drop!” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.”
This is the Bible. Not only mentioning how to perform an abortion but ordering that an ordained priest is needed to perform it.
That’s not what that passage means💀 read the entire chapter
@@BozoJeez It does, actually. If you read your *own* book you would know that. But I'm guessing you never gave it a full, unguided read-through.
@@greed0599 That's God punishing an unfaithful woman with a miscarriage. If the woman was faithful, the bitter water she was made to drink wouldn't affect her and she could still have children.
@@VicGeorge2K6 sounds a lot like an emasculate abortion
@@VicGeorge2K6 oh yes that sounds like all loving God now doesn't it. Hail Satan 😊
simply not true the fact that the bible treats abortion as murder. exodus 21.22 and 21.23, just read it. unbelievable that this video has so many views
Exodus 21:22-23
“And when they strive together men and they injure woman pregnant so that they go out children of her but not he is mortal injury to fine he shall be fined. As he shall place on him husband of the woman and he shall give on judgements. But if harm he is then you shall give life in place of life” (The Hebrew-English Interlinear ESV Old Testament; Literal reading)
This passage is about a violent argument between men, where there is a pregnant woman present near them. During this struggle, the woman is somehow “injured” (nâgaph, which can also include fatal injuries), which caused the “children (masculine plural, boys), to “come out” (yâtsâ’) of the woman. It is clear from the Hebrew, that the “mortal injury” is of the children, and not the woman, as we have the masculine, singular, “’âsôn” used, as the ESV rightly reads, “he is”. “’âsôn” is used in the Old Testament for serious, and even fatal injuries.
The Hebrew “wə·yā·ṣə·’ū yə·lā·ḏe·hā”, literally, “children come out”, is translated as “to miscarry”, or, “born prematurely”, or “fruit depart”, or “come out”, etc, in our English Versions. The masculine plural, shows that there is more than one boy in the womans womb.
In verse 23, “’âsôn” is used to show that either, one, or both of the boys died from the result of the injuries sustained by the woman, during this violent argument between the two men. It is clear, “then you shall give life in place of life”, which is a requirement of death, and not injury.
It is clear from verse 23, that if the child, or children, died, which can only mean, “to miscarry”, and not as some English translations read, “she gives birth prematurely”, as in the NASB, as this does not mean that the child or children, did not live. “she has a miscarriage”, is used in these Versions: NAB; NASB 1977; Douay-Rheims Bible; NRSV; Lasma Syriac Bible; The Contemporary Torah, JPS, 2006, etc
Abortion in the Bible is MURDER
It's a fine if the woman loses it according to the bible
Kelo ambiguous haha doesn't say anything. If cheating you can
It’s also the fact women have to go through a painful traumatic experience and they shouldn’t have to go through that because of rape
Hm you know that abortion due to rape happens very rarely, it’s less than 1% of all the abortions. Plus the child has done no harm, the rapist should be punished not an innocent.
I don't think he paid attention.
@@millenadecampos7192 So in your view, the woman should be punished for the sins of the rapist by carrying his child. I surely wouldn't want to find out what happens in a "no abortion" state when the unborn child becomes a Fetus Terrible.
@@VicGeorge2K6 no, I actually think in cases of rape the women should have the right to chose, or when her life is at risk, the rest is BS
If a raped woman shouldn't be punished by the sin committed by a rapist by carrying the child, then why the child who is purely innocent should be punished, let alone it doesn't change the fact that he/she is still created by God? Nevertheless, according to the statistics, less than 1% of abortion is related to rape. I don't understand why we are so interested in discussing the < 1% as if it's the cause of abortion.
Let's think a bit straight about this misleading issue. How many of you ever met a woman who ended a pregnancy because of rape? For me, none. How many women have abortions for their own conveniences? Many. And, out of less than 1% of pregnancy resulted from rape, I know women who chose life.
If we believe in the God of the Bible, we shouldn't act as if we are wiser than Him. If you don't, it doesn't change anything.
It's murdered thy shall not kill
I remember a Taliban leader saying the afghans are free as long as they live by sharia law. I kind of laughed when I heard of that.
What about all of us that are not Christians and think your entire religion is bat shit crazy. Isn’t making one group of people live by the religious doctrine of another group of people the very definition of oppression, loss of freedom, loss of personal determination. You’ve taken away a woman’s right to choose what happens to her own body. It’s hard to point to a loss of freedom that’s greater than that.
As a Christian, the overturn of Roe v Wade is infuriating. I myself wouldn’t get an abortion because I dont believe in it, however I do not believe in forcing someone else to believe what you believe in either or because it’s in a book. Free will is literally the backbone of Christianity and it’s sickening to see Christians celebrating to force something like this. It’s like they forgot what Christianity is even about.
@@mariacalix566 Thank you. Yes! As a non-Christian I would have a really hard time getting an abortion as well. But the thought of the state taking the choice away is terrible. A complete loss of freedom.
Not everything is black and white. The choice should be left with the woman her family and her doctor. It should not be made by politicians or a particular religious group.
@@OhGoshAwwGeez exactly. The land of the free is slowly becoming not so free anymore. So sad.
Except abortion does involve another body -- that of the child that is inside her womb.
Taking what choice away? The choice of murdering a most vulnerable life who receives death penalty for someone's sin? It's not a loss of freedom, but a gain of freedom to the innocent preborns. Abortions are absolutely unnecessary, if people abstain themselves from sexual immorality.
If you want to be a pro-choice, that's fine. But, don't force taxpayers to pay for your choice.
OK here’s true fax
God gives you rights over your body and over your blood
Therefore it is your right to determine whether or not your child lives or dies
Nobody else is right not yours or the courts or anybody
Secondly secondly it also says worry about the 2 x 4 in your own eye before worrying about the thorn in another persons
Not in those little real words but if you’re a reader of the Bible you will know what I’m talking about
Next you say the baby should not be punished and while I agree with that
What I don’t agree with is the fact that let’s not forget the mother is a lot of times just as responsible sometimes you lay down and spread your legs that’s what happens
Have more accountability for yourself
And ask for all the Bible thumpers you need to have accountability for yourselves and stop worrying about others and also says in the Bible do not pass judgment upon another person that is not your right God is the only one who has that right you were supposed to forgive and love regardless
Some of the worst wars in the history of men have been fault over ignorance of religion like for instance the Christian crusades of the day that wiped out masses of families children women
The Salem witch trials that wiped out women by overly zealous Christian people or people who were just fucking stupid
As I say stay in your fucking lane and out of other peoples it is not your decision to choose whether not a person should get rid of their child
Whether that child be an adult or a clump of cells
The mother or the father has the rights to straight that child down no matter what age or what time and place if they deem fit that’s what you need to remember about what the Bible says
This guy makes a few statements about some phrases in the Bible that don’t actually say what he’s making it say but he spins it to try and attain some kind of a righteousness to his call or to the call of whatever faith that you believe
This is the honest truth and I understand it can hurt for truth usually does hurt but we need to grow and move past our childish thoughts and needs and understand that we are all individuals who are supposed to be in control of our own lives not the lives of others worry about your house and keeping it in order as opposed to trying to keeping someone else’s houses in order
You aren’t Christian, the question is that is abortion allowed in Christianity. Also, “control over your body????” At that point why don’t you just commit any sin and say “well it’s my body”
I love the biblical teaching from this ministry, but the interpretation here is biased and slanted. The verses mentioned never affirm or condemn a women's right to choose. The verse from Exodus is about a man causing the death of an unborn baby by accident and mis-interpreted to compare to a woman deciding to have an abortion. Just because many Christians do not agree with abortion doesn't mean we get to twist the word of God with our interpretation. Also, to say that a baby should not be punished for the evil act of their father is one that most believe in, but throughout the Old Testament, God routinely punishes children for the sins of their fathers, so that is NOT a biblical stance. Lastly, lets not forget that God also killed many many many children in the Old Testament.
To compare a premeditated murdering of a sinner with God's righteous judgment upon sinners is almost arrogant. Drawing a parallel between the perfectly legitimate act of a holy and just God and the filthy deeds of sinners is blasphemous. Who are you to judge God?
I'm pretty sure he wasn't directly comparing the verse from Exodus to a woman deciding to have abortion. His point was that God considers an unborn child as living and having the same value as any other human life.
@@peterchou6557 never judged God. Not thinking for yourself doesn’t make you a good Christian, just a blind one
@@peterchou6557 if you’ve actually read the Old Testament, you would know that God’s actions did not align with the whole “every child’s life is precious” cliches that the pro-life movement uses. That being the case, why are men and women taking it upon themselves to set mandates that God himself did not?
@@Adrian-lt3su he used that verse in an argument against abortion. That is a comparison. It just isn’t a very good one. Also we have to stop making the false assertion that God values all life’s the same. He love all of his children but the lives of believers and non believers are NOT valued the same. The sooner we understand that, the sooner we stop ignoring the fact that many people are pro-life and pro death penalty, but supposed believe that all life is precious.
Killing is not against the bible. Many examples where god tells the followers to kill tribes, men women, kids and animals.
Abortion is mentioned in numbers 5:11 -3, no denying it.
That's God punishing an unfaithful woman with a miscarriage.
@@VicGeorge2K6 So God approves of causing miscarriages? Just for adultery? Sounds like God's an abortionist to me.
@@VicGeorge2K6 so a planned abortion
Only in the NIV translation
IF God is so pro-life then why did he kill almost everyone in the great flood?
