They are guilty of a capital offense.</i> (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)<br /><br /><i>If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death.</i> (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)<br /><br /><i>A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death.</i> (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)<br /><br /><i>Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants.</i> (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)<br /><br />So, those are just general killing, let us be more specific...<br /><br />Hosea 9, 11-16 (Hosea praying for God’s intervention) <i>Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.</i> <br />So, Hosea wants that the people of Ephraim can no longer have children. God of course obeys by making all their unborn children miscarry. Is not terminating a pregnancy unnaturally an abortion?<br /><br />1 Samuel 15:3 <i>God commands the death of helpless "suckling" infants.</i><br />Suckling, as you are probably aware, means children who were still suckling at their mothers breast.<br /><br />Just from those few pieces above, doesn't it make you question the will of this God of yours? I think that if he did exist then he would be one nasty, evil tyrant that even them most blinded fool couldn't worship. <br /><br />And you must know that your God has done or approves of all this, it's in the Bible so it must be true, right? Yet you call yourself a Christian and you continue to follow this God which has killed so many innocent Children (never mind the Adults he has killed)<br /><br />And you dare to call <i>us</i> murderers for wanting to give the person whose body it is the choice on whether to have babies?<br /><br />You're all a bunch of hypocrites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-59760352560961760392012-03-08T06:53:00.031-08:002012-03-08T06:53:00.031-08:00This is a triumph for common sense over religious ...This is a triumph for common sense over religious (supernatural) beliefs.<br /><br />As I said in my own blog some months ago - http://newsengland.wordpress.com/ - <br /><i> I very much hope that these Catholic women not only lose their case but also lose their jobs. If they do lose their jobs you can be sure that they will say they are being persecuted because of their faith. But if they win their case it will be because it was God’s will.</i><br /><br />Well guess what, if your God is truly omnipotent then <i>this</i> is his will - otherwise you lot are just believing in supernatural made up stories where snakes can talk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-11233613015063058192012-03-02T12:43:10.787-08:002012-03-02T12:43:10.787-08:00I agree wholeheartedly with what you have written....I agree wholeheartedly with what you have written. Abortion is so commonplace in this country that it is presumed that everyone agrees with it and does not find it an appalling state of affairs. God help the poor women who undergo this inhuman procedure.Denisenoreply@blogger.com
