They make it a business to perform research on aborted babies in the United States. They say it is "legal" to chop up the unborn for filthy lucre. If it were a #Christian nation, would they actually believe that the God of the living consents to this barbaric practice?
Repent. #Jesus returns and his reward is with him, to give every man according as his works shall be.
@Earl The god of the bible instructs people on how to perform abortions to test for infidelity, with no age limit for the fetus and no consent from the mother. (Numbers 5:19-22)
the god of the bible instructs the Jews to sacrifice all of their first born sons on the altar, with large portions of the old testament trying to remedy this most barbaric of all practices. (Exodus 13:2)
What that god doesn't ask, is for us to not perform experiments on the dead to further science.
@Ntropic
God did not command Jews to sacrifice the firstborn, but to sanctify them.... to live and not to die.
There was a test for a wife suspected of adultery by her husband. If he had no other evidence, and she would not confess, then he could take her to a priest to test her before God. If the woman was innocent, she suffered no harm from drinking the bitter water. If she was guilty, her thigh would rot and her belly would swell. There is no mention of abortion.
@Earl [1/n] about the killing of the firstborns: There are many qualifiers throughout the Pentateuch about what is meant by qad·deš
To summarize:
- The structure compares what is demanded directly with what was demanded of the first born animals, i.e. their sacrifice.
- The text is in a literary structure connecting the commandment with the killing of the first bon in Egypt (itself one of gods many indefensible warcrimes!)
