Bible Teaching on Abortion

The Christian Bible’s Teaching on Human Abortion

Exodus 20:13 {One of the Ten Commandments}

You shall not commit murder. AMP

PART 1 – God’s Restoration to Life of the Murdered Aborted Fetus.

The Christian Bible is strangely silent on the subject of “ABORTION” in any of Its Books. It is like God did not know that this would be such a “hot button” issue during the late 1900’s through the early 2000’s. While the Bible does NOT use the word “abortion,” It is NOT silent on the subject!

Abortion is a noun defined as, “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.” The words “deliberate termination” can further be defined as the “murder by dismemberment and extraction of the unborn child while still in the mother’s womb.” Those who are extracting the baby’s parts may be trying to harvest some of its parts for profit. This murder eliminates most any physical trace of the unborn child from the mother. But what is not recognized is there is MORE to this unborn child that just its flesh and blood or the mother’s memories and emotions or possibly a father’s concerns.

First of all, this and ALL unborn children are of extreme importance to God! I believe ALL naturally conceived unborn children {naturally conceived – man and woman have sexual intercourse that produces a child} was preplanned, foreknown, predestined, and written in God the Father’s Book of Life in the ERA BEFORE the creation of Genesis chapter one existed – quite possibly some billions of years ago. It is important for you to understand God’s foreknown and predestined plans!

    Psalms 139:16 {King David speaking to God} Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them. AMP

I believe it is God the Holy Spirit’s ministry/work to have with Him and use the Father’s Book of Life to put together during human sexual intercourse the right sperm from the millions of sperm deposited by the child’s father into the mother during intercourse to fertilize her right egg to produce the child that God the Father had foreknown, preplanned, predestined, and written about in His Book of Life BEFORE creation and time began. I believe it is God the Holy Spirit’s ministry/ work to start and maintain each family’s generations from their beginning down through the ages.

    Isaiah 41:4 Who has prepared and done this, calling forth and guiding the destinies of the generations [{of the peoples} of the nations] from the beginning? I, the Lord — the first [existing before history began] and with the last [an ever-present, unchanging God] — I am He. AMP

This being said, I believe the child that is being aborted is 100% INNOCENT of any sin on their account until the age of accountability, and was imputed at conception with a “spirit” that was formed by God the Holy Spirit, and that at their death their spirit returns to God Who gave it. Original sin is another subject:

    Zechariah 12:1b ……Thus says the Lord, Who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him: AMP

    Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust [out of which God made man’s body] return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God Who gave it. AMP

I believe that ALL unborn children are of the “STANDARD” of original created sinless Adam until they reach the physical age of accountability {7-13 years of age}. This “STANDARD” enables God to restore ALL murdered mutilated unborn children to their foreknown, preplanned, and predestined life to live with Him for all of eternity in His Kingdom. This “STANDARD” of original Adam was/is he was created without sin, being righteous, perfect, holy, pure, and blessed. This is the same “STANDARD” as the redeemed sinners instantly have after they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior i.e. they are     spiritually “Born Again” {John 3:3-8}!

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new {“STANDARD” of original Adam} has come! AMP

God’s restoration of the murdered mutilated unborn baby who is now a living new creation living eternally with Him in heaven is a “miracle” beyond measure!!!

ADDENDUM

BOY!!! DID THIS STUDY OPEN A CAN OF WORMS!!! First, Facebook censored my link to this study. I do NOT remember pasting this study on Facebook! I ONLY pasted the LINK for this study to my website. They censored my link thus my website and all correspondence that went with it! So much for “FREE SPEECH!”

My webmaster received numerous comments on the study even for the short time it was available. The comments ranged all over the place. Some used Catholic Theology from many years ago. I do NOT understand their thinking! It was like mere men were thinking like they were God. For me, to put this in perspective, I need to go back a few years ago to the saying, “WWJD?”. Jesus is God thus I can say, What would God do to bring His justice into play over this human made tragedy?

We know that God is of a God of tremendous amounts of Agape, mercy, compassion, and grace! I believe God is also a God of wrath as witnessed by the current worldwide epidemic of “Covid19” that is killing millions of people worldwide! I believe God is using Covid and its variants to try to get mankind’s attention as to the heavy in fluke of sin that is happening around the world daily. God is wanting mankind to return to Jesus as their Savior, Lord God, and Master, and while that is happening in some places, the huge majority of mankind around the world is turning a deaf ear towards God and waiting for man and SCIENCE to solve the world’s problems. As I can see from what is happening worldwide, mankind does NOT have any reputable solutions for the virus. If you get it, you get it. If you die you die! If you do not get it, boy was I lucky!!!

    Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but the decision is wholly of the Lord [even the events that seem accidental are really ordered by Him]. AMP

There is a Scripture that I overlooked that I must suggest there is a different way of looking at:

    Psalms 51:5 {King David speaking} |Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. NASU

There is a translation that adds “[and I too am sinful].  [John 3:6; Rom 5:12; Eph 2:3.]  AMP

I believe King David had great knowledge about God! How he acquired this knowledge I do NOT know. He knew about God’s Book of Life and an ERA BEFORE creation {Psalms 139:16}. He knew that his deceased infant child would be restored alive by God the Son and rejoined to him David upon his death {2 Samuel 12:22-23} I believe this means he knew about salvation and eternal life with God. This being said, I believe from the commentaries I have read, King David knew that his mother was NOT married to his father at the time of his conception, thus he was illegitimate AND what that meant. BUT that does not make him a sinner! Original sin being another story. Lots of things we do not know, but we must leave the door of opinions open for God to reveal His truth to us!!!    

God wants me to try to reveal how much of a miracle these restored to life fetuses, miscarriages, and the children who die under the age of accountability {7-13years old} for whatever reason really and truly is!

I ask you to think about the following situation. It is guesstimated that over 1.5 billion fetuses have been aborted worldwide during the last 50 years. I could not find any statistics about the possible number of children under the age of accountability who have died during the same period. I will arbitrarily use 500 million which is probably NOT enough, but it makes the total 2 billion underage children who have died for whatever reason over the past 50 years. THIS IS A HUGE NUMBER THAT THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN WILL NEVER KNOW GOD UNLESS THEY ARE RESTORED TO LIFE!!! HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? BECAUSE GOD HAS FOREKNOWN AND PREDESTINED PLANS FOR THEIR LIVES WRITTEN IN HIS BOOK OF LIFE IN THE ERA BEFORE TIME, AND BECAUSE HE HAS ACCESS TO THEIR SPIRITS WHICH HAVE RETURNED TO HIM!

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THESE UNDERAGE DECEASED CHILDREN HAVE BEEN RESTORED BY GOD TO THEIR ORIGINAL FOREKNOWN  LIFE THAT GOD THE FATHER PREPLANNED AND PREDESTINED FOR THEM DURING THE ERA BEFORE THE BOOK OF GENESIS HAPPENED!!!

Think about this – THIS IS A TREMENDOUSLY HUGE AMOUNT OF DISRESPECT FOR GOD AND LOSS FOR HIM!!!

God does NOT let anything circumvent His plans!

    Malachi 3:6a For I am the Lord, I do not change….; AMP

Jesus Christ states that He is preparing the redeemed their home. Why cannot these restored underage children who died before their time be restored back to life and live with God? Are they yet guilty of their own sins? Original sin being another matter.

    John 14:2-3, 6 In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you. 3 And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. AMP

These children who were naturally conceived received a God formed spirit at their conception, and upon their death that spirit returns to God. He has ALL their plans and information that is necessary to restore them to ETERNAL life with Him!

    Zechariah 12:1b Thus says the Lord, Who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him: AMP

    Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust [out of which God made man’s body] return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God Who gave it. AMP

    Jeremiah 29:11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. AMP

God does NOT waste anything!!! All of the time and effort that He put into the making of plans for His creation DURING the ERA BEFORE creation will NOT be brought to naught by ANY part of His creation.

In the Book of 2 Samuel, King David had an illicit affair that produced a child who died. Somehow, he knew that his child was restored to life by God, and that his child could NOT return to him on earth, but that somehow he David could visit his living child in heaven upon his death. The child died but his life was NOT terminated! Please think about this! Again, God does not waste anything!!!

    2 Samuel 12:22-23 David said, While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live? 23 But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again {to the earth}? I shall go to him {as he is in heaven with God}, but he will not return to me. AMP

More on King David later in PART 2. Let’s now look at the mother of the unborn child’s situation:

PART 2 – God’s Judgment of the Mothers Who Aborted Their Murdered Fetus{es}.

    John 3:18a He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation — he incurs no damnation]; {Romans 8:1}

    John 3:18b but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.] AMP

There are TWO chapters to this PART of this study.

CHAPTER ONE – God’s Judgement of the Mother of the Aborted Fetus Who Is “SAVED”

– A Christian – Use John 3:18a above which is supported by:

    Romans 8:1 THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.  [John 3:18.] AMP

I believe that IF the mother of the aborted unborn child is a Christian, and she truly repents of murdering her unborn child, God will forgive her of her sin, BUT she MUST TRULY repent:

    1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. AMP

Why do I believe this? There is a story in the Bible about King David having an illicit affair with a married woman Bathsheba resulting in her becoming pregnant and bearing a living child who later died as a very young infant. {For the complete story of King David and Bathsheba, please read 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. Read Psalms 51 for King David’s prayer of repentance.}

My synopsis of this story for this study.

After King David learned Bathsheba was pregnant, he tried to entice her husband who was in his army to take some R&R with his wife hoping he would have sexual relations with her and “Walla” she would become pregnant by her husband. But for whatever reason her husband would NOT cooperate with the R&R so David put him in the front lines of battle where he was killed. Then David married Bathsheba and she bore him a son who died shortly after his birth.

I believe it is important we must understand King David’s OPINION of himself in his relationship with God. We also need to remember that God does NOT show favoritism among people:

    Psalms 17:8 {King David praying to God} Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings, NKJV

    Romans 2:11 For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another].  [Deut 10:17; 2 Chron 19:7.] AMP

Whether King David originally thought so or not, God was very displeased by what he did!!!

    2 Samuel 11:27b …But the thing that David had done {the illicit affair with Bathsheba and the killing of her husband} was evil in the sight of the Lord. AMP

The nugget that I want to share in this study on abortion is King David’s knowledge and admission of where his deceased child was – with God forever and that David upon on his death and as a believer would be able to visit him in heaven:

    2 Samuel 12:22-23 David said, While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live? 23 But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back {to earth} again? I shall go to him {in heaven}, but he will not return to me. AMP

This story shows God’s GRACE in judging sin AND its consequences.

    2 Samuel 12:9-13 {the Prophet Nathan speaking to King David} Why have you despised the commandment of the Lord, doing evil in His sight? You have slain Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife. You have murdered him with the sword of the Ammonites.  [Lev 20:10; 24:17.] 10 Now, therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because [you have not only despised My {God’s} command, but] you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

11 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun. [Fulfilled in 2 Sam 16:21,22.]

13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord also has put away your sin {forgiven you}; you shall not die.  [Ps 51.] AMP

I believe Psalms 51 is very important because it is David’s prayer of repentance! If you will read the full story about King David and Bathsheba {2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12, and Psalms 51}, you will see and understand the sins that true believers sometimes do as Christians, BUT are truly sorry they did these things and truly repent and seek God’s forgiveness of their sins. PLEASE do not forget there most likely will be consequences that accompany God’s forgiveness! God implements these consequences in such a way that you do NOT forget God’s LOVE for you and His GRACE in forgiving you!

CHAPTER TWO – God’s Judgement of the Mother of the Aborted Fetus Who Is NOT “SAVED.”   

Now we come to the mother of the aborted child who is NOT “saved.” The last part of John 3:18b clearly states her situation – she is already judged!

    John 3:18b …. but he{/she} who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him {Jesus Christ}) is judged already [he{/she} has already been convicted and has already received his{/her} sentence] because he{/she} has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He{/she} is condemned for refusing to let his{/her} trust rest in Christ’s name {as their personal Savior}.] AMP

BUT THAT ALL CAN BE CHANGED IF SHE REPENTS, ASKS GOD TO FORGIVE HER OF HER SINS AND HAVE JESUS CHRIST BECOME HER LORD GOD. SAVIOR, AND MASTER OF HER LIFE!!! BUT her life MUST change!!! She MUST start reading an understandable Bible, go to a GOOD church, go to Bible Studies, and find a suitable mentor of her same sex. Otherwise, she will stand before Jesus Christ for judgement and be condemned to hell for the rest of eternity!

    Matthew 25:4 Then He {Jesus} will say to those at His left hand, Begone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! AMP

I believe her aborted child has been restored and will live with God in His heavenly Kingdom forever! She will be separated from God and live in hell forever – NOT a good place for HER or ANYONE else to be!!! I firmly believe that God will NOT allow anyone or anything to jeopardize and try to thwart His plans to restore ALL underage children who die BEFORE their designated time down through time and history!

AMEN AND AMEN!!!
