In the Bible, does Jesus say abortion is wrong?

Indeed, it must be. I think 'duke' was referring to the passage in Matthew
25:31-46 in an attempt to show that Jesus had said that abortion is wrong,
implying that anyone who aborts, ie kills an embryo/foetus is also killing
Jesus. To me that would say that Jesus would feel only what an
embryo/foetus feels - nothing, whereas to force a sentient being to go
through unspeakable agony giving birth would inflict that agony on Jesus
too.

Nice twist on the creating of a rock too heavy to lift. I just wonder
whether God can prove His existence.

Nope. My ultimate wish to end all abortion is based on it being the ultimate
act of selfishness. It has nothing to do with anyone's wish to avoid childbirth
agony. That comes with the territory of sin.

It's not a matter of my attitude. It's his words. Mathew 25:31-46

Not when you consider you're butchering your own unborn for your comfort and

No he doesn't. Eve sinned, and got mankind kicked out of the garden to be her
own god as best she could and to suffer the pain of childbirth. It's biblical,
check it out in Genesis.

Why should I be? If your God is real, he won't kill everyone* with
another flood. If He's not real, I don't really have to worry about
it, now do I?

Salvation, as espoused by some Xian sects works pretty much the same
way. Accept JC as your savior, and you're in! That cannot be taken
away. You are now free to move about the country - and sin.

THE AGONY OF CHILDBIRTH??? We pay for sex with agony of childbirth?
OK, how did I manage to live this long without realizing my sex life is
related to the agony of childbirth? Now if you never had children, does
that mean you can't have sex? Or do you play now and pay later? Now
wasn't a man's payment...to toil in the fields. Meaning work for a
living. OK...so women are now working for a living and also bringing
forth children through agony. (Not that I remember any agony with any
of the births) Some pain maybe, but agony? What the hell does this
thread have to do with Bicycles? Are bicycles a part of the moral
majority and the right wing radicals? Can't be.

A rock too heavy to lift is nothing. There's no such thing. God cannot
make "nothing"; the very idea implies a contradiction. It's like a square
circle. God can't make one of those either.

Ex. 20:13 "You shall not kill."! You are talking about human fetuses
aren't you, and what would this fetus become if not a human in the
image of God? This word kill in this application is recognized as
"MURDER". The ten commandments were given by Christ in the form of the
God of the Old Testament, see John 1 to varify this

Then you're devistating Jesus when you force women to endure agonizing
childbirth, or when you subject an abandoned baby to a life of
instability, fiscal paucity and rejection, or when you command that
everybody follow your ****'s worth of morality.

Omnipotence may not include literary conundra, but proving one's
existence doesn't fall into that class.

Oh, God is real alright. He said no more floods, but that's the OT concept of
physical death for the evil in the world.

Now it's the NT spiritual death, or spending an eternity in hell for what you
did in this lifetime. Use it wisely. God is waiting on you to wise up and
change your ways. And that's not a threat - it's a promise.

Wrong. A very, very few Christians do espouse such a thing. But only a few
confused ones. You would think that eventually they would understand the reason
we have the sacrament of confession.

And dishonesty in the confessional is no honesty at all.

That's not Ex 20:13 and it doesn't say anything about not killing.

So what? Does Ex. 20:13 say anything about "sentient" or "human"?

A lot of them become humans "in the image of God".

Living, human sperm IS human life.

It's becoming more obvious that you don't have any justification for
your rules other then misogyny and the desire to be a control freak.

No, but Genesis 1:26, 28 might explain why killing plants and animals

The vast majority of sperm do not find their intended target. Average
********* is how many sperm cells? Only one of them, if conception is
successful, becomes a human "in the image of God." Even without birth
control, the majority of the acts of copulation do not result in the
fertilization of an egg.

Uh, human sperm is worthless without a human egg.

It could be argued that you have no justification for your rules,
either. Isn't abortion a form of control?

No, because until the sperm has fertilized an egg, it's not a human
being yet.
