Why is abortion wrong to Christians? God created life. Humanity (adam and eve) sinned (created an injustice in a just world (injustice cannot co-exist with justice)), therefore a separation between humanity and god occurred (kicked out of the garden). The consequence for sin (injustice) is death (destruction) (cause justice will always prevail over injustice). God did not want all humanity to be separated from him forever (specifically the people who wanted to go back and live a just life/the way god originally wanted us to live (the right way/righteousness). God had mercy and grace on us and created a way for justice and righteousness to be learned in an injust world (the whole old testament leading up to and climaxing with Jesus, as he is the perfect example (for those who seek righteousness) of a just/righteous person living in an injust world). The way God was able to fulfill this plan, was by using humans who were faithful to him (people who trusted him and were willing to give up their lives to follow him (give up their lives meaning give up their own selfishness (should i do what i want and see fit? or should i do what god wants, even though i do not know what his plan for me is?) and this can also mean physical death in some cir!@#$%^&*stances). God wants people who are willing to make that kind of choice to follow him for obvious reasons. (it's hard to fulfill your plan if people are on the edge about doing what you say. kind of like how the NAVY SEALS do not want people who are on the edge about being a SEAL, and that is why they push them till they almost die for them to be accepted). God wants people who are willing to go the extra mile for him. You have to want it enough to die for it kind of thing. SO....with this the problem with abortion arises: You are essentially killing a person that God can use/work with to fulfill his plan. Someone that could hold potential to do great things for God, and humanity. Jesus did not just pop out of heaven. He descended from a line of people who were willing to have faith for God and follow God. Not all of them perfect, some were pros!@#$%^&*utes, some were raped and still gave birth, and their child was a part of the line of Jesus. That is how God works with humanity, through us. That is why murder is wrong. Also because we are not good judges because we cannot read the hearts and minds of other humans and know for sure what their intentions are. God can, and that is why he can judge people, also because he is the definition of good, just, righteousness and truth. <---All defined by the Bible not my personal opinion. BUT it gets interesting when God gives people the CHOICE, yes the choice to follow him. So if you choose not to follow god then you will see no harm in abortion, since it will probably benefit you in some way, and that is all that matters then (what is good for you, cause without God that is really the only thing you can live by). And this creates a problem. Should Christians on a public scale ban abortion for all? Is this right? Is this what they should fight for.?..cause abortion to them is wrong? I believe that people have the right, the GOD given right, to choose what they want to. And if they feel they should have an abortion then it is between them and God. Does that mean Christians should too? !@#$%^&* NO! It is not the right thing for a christian to do. People who choose to be Christians and follow god and have faith in him should not have abortions, and that is what they should focus on. Should they try to prevent everyone from doing so? Well if people choose not to follow god then it won't make sense for them not to have abortions, and again it is really between them and God. The relationship between a christian and a non-christian should be like this: the christian should let people know what the right thing to do is, by example (the best way) and telling them. They should not force the right way. They should clear up misconceptions about God, Jesus, Christianity and righteousness and let people make an EDUCATED decision on it for themselves. And if people choose not to follow God then it is between them and God, and the christian should act like the prodigal sons father to them. Christianity is not meant to be on a collective level, but on an individualistic level (not one person/group tells you what to do). The "Church" is not what defines what a christian is. God/Jesus defines what a christian is. The christian would go to God, not the "church" to learn how they should live. And that in itself is the true test of Christianity; if there is no god then it will fail. If there is then it will succeed. Jesus defines the Church as a Body, and Jesus is the Head. So should the hand tell the leg what to do? That's foolishness. Jesus/God tells the Church what to do. Does that justify what the "Church" has done in the past 2000 years? no. Because people have manipulated the church for their own agendas. Putting their selfishness ahead of God. The real Church is consisted of real Christians, not people who say they are and are not. And there is no "organization" where they all congregate and are united. They are united through God and Jesus, making it possible for people who have never met each other to be united in their christian faith. And again if there is no God then they will not be united. that's about it. sorry for it being so long.
