Letter: Plenty of biblical guidance on abortion
A few weeks ago, there was a letter from a pastor who said he could not find a single verse in the Bible mentioning abortion.
The Bible is noticeably clear on how God feels about abortion. First, God's very character is Love and Life. Genesis 2:7 "The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Deuteronomy 30:19 "This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you Life and death, blessings, and curses. Now choose Life, so that you and your children may live." Exodus 20:19 "You shall not murder"
God is the author of Life, and Satan is the author of Death. John 10:10 "The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they may have Life and have it to the full" John 8:44 "You belong to your father, the devil. he was a murderer from the beginning."
This Scripture shows plainly that God created us in our mother's womb. Psalm 139:13-14 "For You created my inmost being You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well."
Thank you, Daily Herald, for allowing us to express our opinions. It is interesting to me that the founding vision of your newspaper is "Our aim; to fear God, tell the truth and make money."
