Abortion = Mixed Blessing?

It makes salvation sound like it is a matter of the luck of the draw - be aborted and be saved or be born and go to Hell; be born in a nation where the gospel is widely availabe and your "chances" of being saved are much higher than in other nations.

I think it is best that we follow God's commands. God will take care of the rest.

 

Good word!:thumbs:

 

Good advise.

I’ve never been convinced that the aborted are instantly transported to heaven.
If it were so then abortion would be among the greatest ways to evangelize the lost.

I think the bible remains silent on what happens.

I believe we should trust God for their care, knowing that he will do what is righteous.

I guess it really depends on which point of view you are taking. From man's extraordinarily limited understanding and knowledge, it may seem there is some kind of blessing involved.

But from God's point of view, abortion for that reason or any reason is a total insult. It tells Him that He does not know what He is doing. It denies that He has a plan for each life He creates. And, in the long run, Calvinism aside, it may very well mean that one of the dead children could have been the means God planned to use to call other people to Him. So what sort of blessing is that? Will God use others? Of course. But the pain and suffering that may have been avoided if that other child had lived will be known only by God until the judgment.

 

I'm glad my mother didn't believe abortion was a 'mixed blessing'...

 

I'm glad that the Virgin Mary didn't believe in abortion.

I've often wondered what the loose tongues in Nazareth back in her day were like......

"Yeah, Mary, that angel story you came up with is pretty good! We'd have never thought up one like that. Now, come on, who did you really sleep with?"

 

God can always make something good out of Man's evil, but to test Him by continuing to do evil, expecting Him to make something good from it, it completely wrong.

Why does God ALLOW any sin? We get the privilege of choosing this day who we will serve. When we choose to sin, we're definitely NOT choosing to serve God.

God is the perfect Gentleman, and He will allow us to sin if we want to. He will not force Himself or His will on anyone.

 

How in the world could anyone tie a percieved lack of evanelism to God allowing abortion. This is wierd.

 

I've been wondering the same thing
