By the way. . .you believe what you wish about me. . . . but I KNOW in my heart that I am at least as "pro-life" as God! Obviously, the biggest loss of "life" among the unborn is due to GOD's will. . .through miscarriages.
What tells you that contraception and even abortions are not part of God's plan?
Scripture, or are you goijng to go down the road of Grumpy, and Dog, and ignore the word of God?
Exodus 21: 22=25
“If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely, but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
Throughout Christian history abortion has been regarded as murder, as was the use of abortificants, and contraceptives. Tertullian in Apology 9.4 wrote, "It does not matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to the birth. In both instances, destruction is murder". Basil the Great in Canons 188 .2affirmed, "Those who give abortifacients for the destruction of a child conceived in the womb are murderers themselves, along with those receiving the poisons". Jerome called abortion “the murder of an unborn child”. Augustine warned against the terrible crime of “the murder of an unborn child”. Origen, Cyprian, and Chrysotom were among the many other prominent theologians and church leaders who condemned abortion as the killing of children.
And now you want to say God is guilty of murder? But how do you as a "pro life" adherent support the murder of the unborn, yet oppose the execution of a rapist, a pedophile, a murderer, which God Himself supported?
