(ver 1.3)  This is now Part 4 in the essential Bible study series of lessons on the subject of “What God thinks about abortion”.  If you have not read these lessons from the beginning I would strongly recommend that you go back and start with “Part 1” first.  I don’t know if this will be the last lesson on this subject or not.  I will just try to wait to see if and when the LORD would like to say more to us on this subject.  There is really so much more to learn.  There are so many subjects in the Bible that need to be taught and understood.  However, I do believe that this subject of abortion is one of the most important areas focused upon in the heart of God at this end of our time on earth.  This evil has become so common and acceptable in the minds of people.  This act of killing the voiceless has happened to millions of children that are now missing from our world.  The legalization of this evil by 7 men on the U.S. Supreme Court has overruled the beliefs of what was a dominate majority of sane people back in 1973.   How has the people of God become so passive in allowing this to continue.  I guess if it is not happening to us or anyone we know then we are not as concerned as we should be.

Although here is a major problem that should concern us all.  If God can not stop people from killing their own children in their wombs, that He is trying to send into this world to accomplish His will, then what is next?  I have always noticed that if we allow evil at all, it will continue to grow into greater levels of horrific corruption.  What I am asking, is what is next?  It use to be that abortion was rare in the first trimester.  But, suddenly it has creeped further into the pregnancy that it has become acceptable even until the last moments before birth.  They call this partial birth abortions.  As long as the child has not fully exited, they suck the child’s brains out to make sure they are not alive after they fully exist.   Now, we are hearing of legislators and governors that are promoting infanticide.  This is the death of the child after exiting fully.  This is where we are going because we believed killing babies in the first couple of months of pregnancy in the womb was ok.  This growing attitude represents a growing moral decay of the value of life.  It will continue to grow further into next killing children long after they are born because they have developed some condition that is not acceptable for some reason.  Then this evil will move to older and people next for the same reasoning.  When would killing stop?

I have probably said several things that offended someone.  But, this is what is happening in the U.S. and the world.  I’ll ask you another question?  Do you believe God can do anything to help us change this?  I know I believe that but only if we cooperate with Him.  Otherwise, God will not override human will to commit or allow evil.  However the Bible says this on the Subject of Abortion.  I mentioned this verse in the last lesson and it is so essential that we will go into it again in more depth:

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live:

So is this verse about abortion?  Sure it is!  These are the words of God and this is what He said to you and me about abortion.  He told us that the choice was in our hands and it was our responsibility for the well being of not only us, but our children.  If God told you personally, that you could choose to live or to die, then makes this recommendation, “Choose Life!”, what would you do?  Notice how we learn that God can only make recommendations for what we choose to do.   God doesn’t make the decisions for us.  We will find this to be a common theme though out the Bible.  God is not the grand puppet master in heaven controlling what we decide to do everyday and every moment of the day.  God makes some very strong recommendations for our greater good and many times He gives us the consequences to our wrong choices to teach us not to do them again.  But God never forces anyone to choose life.  He will let us even kill our babies.  He does this to give us freewill, even though He gave us that child to be a blessing, for a purpose and He had a great plan for that child in the world.

I don’t really know how people can read verses like these and not understand them, but I guess if it doesn’t go along with their current thought process or their current belief system, they just ignore them and pretend they are not relevant or they don’t exist.  But, these types of words spoken by God are not unique and they apply to every person in creation.  If you think they don’t, then God clearly lies and shows favoritism toward only a few certain people.

Psalm 22:9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breast.

Psalm 22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.

Isaiah 49:1 Listen O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hat called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

If God knew this man’s name before he was born, then he knows every child’s name while they are still in their mother’s womb.  God even loves and knows the names of all the children that were aborted and murdered for being not wanted and loved by any human.  I know that will not sit well with a lot of people, but I didn’t say it, the God of the Bible said it and I go along with His words and I don’t really care what you think about me.

I read this next scripture and it really struck a chord with me.  It sounded so much like what we are experiencing in this nation right now.  We have a government system that is probably one of the greatest on the entire planet.  However, even our system in the wrong hands can cause a lot of problems.  When I wrote this lesson, we are experiencing a political system controlled currently by an extreme group of left leaning people that have deceived a majority of the nation into believing that what they represent is good and right.  Some of these even have called themselves Christians.  But in my book a Christian is someone that follows Christ and therefore would only do what He says for us to do.  Jesus made this statement, “you will know them by their fruit” (Mat 7:20).  What that means is obviously open to interpretation to some degree and what some might call fruit.  But, I wonder what God thinks about their fruit?

Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not out Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

We have allowed Satan to develop a generation of people that qualify to be easily deceived.  Why are they so easily deceived?  I believe it is because of the removal of God and the Bible from the classroom in 1963.  Satan observed how easy this was to do and has continued this strategy even until today.  The end of educating children in public forums of the knowledge of Bible has caused the rapid decline of morality.  Each step of decline represented a progressive methodological plan to introduce decay to human standards of morals and principles.  We have had political leaders that speak of things in subtle ways that twist truths around to change what was good appear to seem evil and what evil now seem to appear good.

I heard this terminology on television given by one of these types of deceiving leaders recently and it was welcoming people to the “Democratic Values”.  They were welcoming a new convert that recently changed political parties.  I mean to put the words “Democrat” and “Values” together in the same sentence is an oxymoronic attempt at establishing what they consider as an acceptable alternative life style.  They want to speak and profess a view to include every lifestyle and behavior no matter how perverse.  They strive to seek “common ground” with every point of view no matter how extreme and wish to be acceptable to every immoral act including murdering babies.

Some would probably say that I’m a Republican.  Perhaps you are thinking we should not introduce politics into Bible lessons, but I disagree.  I am not telling anyone how to vote or who to vote for.  But I do ask for Christians to rad their Bibles, pray and seek God and ask Him who they should vote for and then go and vote.  With all of the corruption, sex scandals in Washington D.C. on both the Republican and Democratic sides, it has become increasingly difficult to know who to vote for.  I realize that nobody is perfect, but it seems in today’s elections we are sometimes voting for the lesser of the two evils.  The lack of true Christian participation in our political process is pretty sad.  But, God is still able to use anyone even if we do not feel they are the perfect candidate.  Trust God!  Hear from God!  Listen to what God says in the Bible and vote accordingly the best that you are able.

I’ll get off the political soap box and go back to the subject at hand.  There are too many people in the world that refuse to recognize the significance and value of human life at conception.    Most of them are all for human rights except for those who are unable to vote or speak for themselves.  An incredible number of  defenseless unborn children are being murdered and terminated on a daily basis around the world and they claim that it is the woman’s right to choose that would be violated if they didn’t allow this to happen.

The logic behind this reasoning is foolishness.  No one addresses the real issue, they only want to treat the symptoms as the only problem.  The root of every physical abortion problem is spiritual in nature.  Why is it permissible for a woman to murder her baby before it is born and it is not permissible after it is born?  For some reason certain individuals have reasoned that one is acceptable and the other one is not.   I guess they think that because the child has not yet breathed a breath of air or ate a natural meal that it is therefore not a legitimate or complete life form.  They use to call the child NOT “Viable”;  a form of life that is not really a complete self sufficient life form.  I have said this before, but it needs to be repeated because this is where we are moving.  With this kind of thinking and logic why is it not OK to kill new babies after birth?  They still don’t have the ability to be self-sufficient or the ability to care for themselves.  Babies when they are born are just as totally dependent upon their mother to sustain them, feed them and nurture them in order that he or she can grow and develop as they are while they are still in the womb.  It takes years before a child is self-sufficient.  Why is it not OK to kill these children, if they can’t take care of themselves and you don’t want them?   You see the only difference between these two children is we have laws that protect them after they born and no laws that protect them before they are born.  People’s logic and justification for abortion is pretty crazy.

So what is the root cause for babies?  If there was not a baby to abort there would be no issue to discuss, would there?  So what is the root cause for babies?  It is really a very simple answer, sex.  People want the opportunity to have sex with whom ever they want, when ever they want and for there to be absolutely no consequences to their actions.   I learned in science and physics classes that there is always a cause and an effect.  If you see waves in a pool, you know somebody threw something in to the water that caused the waves.  Something must always happen first that causes something else to result.  God didn’t make things that complicated that we can’t figure this kind of stuff out.  People these days want to approach pregnancy as the problem and not the sexual act of pleasure.  They do this by desiring to solve their poor choice problem by killing the child that resulted.  They ignore the real problem of desiring the pleasure, because they like that part of it.  After all people say we can’t stop teens from having sex, can we?  After all their hormones are in a rage of fury and need to be satisfied.  But, while there has always been desires for pre-marital sex, it was not until the Bible was removed from educational systems that free sex with anyone in the 60’s went wild.  It was only 10 years later after the removal of the 10 commandments and prayer from schools that the demand for abortions increased to a level that forced another supreme court case to be accepted by Christians.

So the main problem really comes down to a sin issue.   People want the pleasures of sex and sin for a moment but not the responsibility or the consequences of sex for the rest of their lives.  You see a woman does have a right to choose and make a choice but it is not after the fact when they are faced with the consequences to their previous decisions and actions.    It ‘s too late after there is a child to determine and ask the question, do I want a child?  When a woman is pregnant they already have a child no matter how long they have been pregnant, one day or 9 months of time doesn’t matter to God.

So  that may sound like an easy answer to some while to a great number of others, it probably turned them off or even enraged them.  After all it sounds like my opinion on the subject and my opinion on the subject matters the same as your opinion on the subject, ZERO!    The problem with politicians today is they have an opinion and it is usually slanted towards their prospective voters that elect them into office.  You see they let popular opinion determine what is right and what is wrong.

CONCLUSION

I would ask you this simple question again, do you think it matters to GOD what you think about the subject of abortion?  Is GOD swayed by popular opinion or pressure from the left or from the right?  Is God changing His mind on the value of human life because people can now create test tube babies and manipulate DNA and change other characteristics scientifically.  Does the advances in medical sciences change God’s opinion on what people should do or not do?   I assume most people today think that God doesn’t care what they do.  They believe there are no consequences for doing what they think is right even if it is severely wrong in the eyes of God.

I am a firm believer that every aborted or miscarried child is in heaven today.  I recently heard a story of a young boy that died and went to heaven.  While he was there he talked with a girl that was his sister that he never met because she was miscarried by his mother before he was born.  His mother never told him about her.  Yet when he came back and survived this death experience to talk with his mother about it, she was shocked because he knew about her.  This teaches me along with verses like 2 Samuel chapter 12:23 where David had a child with Bathsheba that died and He said “I can go to him, but he cannot return to me”.  Someday we are all going to meet the children that died in the womb.  We will all be very surprised to find out that they loved us very much.  I would not be surprised that they have forgiven us for our evil stupidity.  I really can’t imagine what they day will be like fully.  I just have tears while I think about it and write how it will occur.

If you have had an abortion, I can’t imagine what you are thinking.  I don’t know the reasons why you made that choice.  I do know that God loves you very, very much.  He will forgive you if you will repent and ask Him for mercy.  If you are an abortion doctor with innocent blood of the multitudes of children on on your hands, God loves you also.  While many would like you to spend eternity in hell for doing such evil, God wants you to be saved and not go to hell.  Please stop what you are doing and ask for forgiveness.

If you are an abortion room assistant or have worked for organizations like “Planned Parenthood”, God loves you also.  God will forgive you and help you to change to want to save innocent lives instead of taking them.  Just pray and ask God to forgive you.  If you are a judge that ruled in favor of allowing abortions, God loves you also.  The blood of all these children can be washed away by the more powerful blood of Jesus if you ask.  If you are a voter that voted for any politician that supports the funding of these evils, God loves you also.

There is no sin that cannot be covered and cleansed by the Blood of Jesus.  The emotional distress and pain is another issue, while Jesus cannot take away the memory, He can give you a hope that says everything will become much better with time and the hope of being reunited with the children that never got the opportunity to live on the earth.  Eternity and being in heaven with Jesus will be far greater than our experiences here and now on the earth.

God bless you and thank you for reading these Bible lessons.  If you would like to leave a comment and share your experiences that would probably help someone else tremendously.  Satan uses the same tricks and traps over and over and we all need to help and support each other.  I love you and God loves you.  Become a blessing and supporter of life.  Thank you!
