As a guest writer, I’d like to say that I like debating theological issues. Now there are many posts that I’d like to write concerning interesting topics, but the one in which I am going to write about today is a subject that I have personally been researching and studying recently.
That is human abortion, and why human abortion ought to be abolished. I use the word ought to signify the moral obligation we have to eradicate and completely destroy the wicked practice of abortion. Now there may be many people who would agree with this idea. Many people who think abortion is wrong, but I want to take a step deeper, and look at the reason why abortion is wrong.
Abortion isn’t wrong because the Declaration of Independence stated: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Abortion isn’t wrong because the Constitution stated that: “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
See people, governments, religions, churches, laws, non of theses things give people “right to life”. The only reason why we are living today is because God, in is great mercy, saw fit to create us and to continue to give us each breath we take. And the only reason why we have any worth as human beings is because we were made in the image of God. Gen. 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
The reason that abortion is wrong then, is because God is the giver and taker of life. Not man. God is the Creator, and he told us not to murder. Ex. 20:13
Definition of Murder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
So, what is abortion? By definition: the deliberate [premeditated] termination [killing] of a human pregnancy [the developing of a living, existing human being].
Abortion by definition meets the criteria for the definition of murder except for one thing. Abortion is “lawful”. And what I mean by this is in the Roe v Wade case it was decided that, “In short, the unborn have never been recognized in the law as persons in the whole sense.” This took care of the problem (for the pro-aborts) of “unlawful killing”. Now it is lawful for anyone to murder the unborn, because the unborn are not recognized by the law as human beings, with the same rights as human beings. Abortion is no longer murder in man’s eyes, not by man’s law.
This is the problem with following man’s law as opposed to following God’s law. Acts 5:29 “We ought to obey God rather than men.” The Supreme Court doesn’t have the right to give or take life, to give or take worth of life. Only God does.
Am I saying that we shouldn’t obey any of the laws that govern our nation? Not necessarily. That is another discussion for another time. This post was just meant to show the importance of knowing why abortion is murder, and why murder is wrong.
FAITH UNMASKED 
This is an excellent article outlining “God’s law vs. man’s law”, since it is an idea that many people are unfamiliar with, to say the least. Especially in times when men call evil good, and good evil, and people are taught (from the public schools and the pulpits) that the state is to be obeyed, and that right and wrong is relative ( from schools) or not worth fighting for (from the pulpits.)
I had some thoughts about the terms “lawful” that you used, when you spoke of abortion no longer being (in man’s eyes) “unlawful killing.” Technically it is unlawful, even by the laws in the United States. “When laws are made in violation of the constitution, they are null and void” (from legaldictionary.com). The Supreme Court cannot make laws, and it can only pass rulings based on constitutional law. Since Roe v. Wade is unconstitutional, abortion is not actually legal, except in people’s minds. The duty of all state governors and prosecutors, when Roe was passed, was to ignore it (which they obviously did not do).
So, this could help you dismantle it if you ever meet someone who is adamantly saying, “but abortion is legal!”
Another thought is that men can only make “law” within God’s parameters for law. Therefore, any statute that goes against God’s standard is only that; a statute, not a law. But you obviously couldn’t use that argument in the legal system :).

First off, thanks for your thoughts Hannah. We always appreciate feed back on our posts.
Secondly, I agree with you. According to modern science, a baby inside the womb is alive in the same sense that we are alive. By US law the definition of murder is: the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethough. Therefore abortion is unlawful murder in the eyes of both God’s and by the United State’s law.
My point in the blog was bigger though. People put too much emphasis on human law. Man has no authority to oppose evil. Man has no basis, no solid foundation on which to stand on to declare that something is right or that something is wrong. Mankind does not determine the definition of what right is and what wrong is. Man cannot do any of this unless he has a moral absolute. An authority bigger than himself and bigger than that which he is judging. We as Christians know that only God can truly declare that something is wrong and that something is right. He gave Christians that power. The power, the ability, and the command to judge righteous judgment.
Thank you for your thoughts. And for taking the time to comment.

Very good article, and great interaction as well. Another thought. The same “law” that states abortion is legal because it is not actually murder declares it a double homicide when a pregnant mother is murdered. So the laws of man are too often written for our own convenience as opposed to the need to enforce absolute right and wrong. Our comfort has become the litmus testing basis for our law. God is not concerned with comfort. He requires moral obedience. Therein lies the problem. We have decided to be disobedient to our Father…. never good. His law will always supercede our want of comfort.

Mans law will not comfort anyone. Satan will not comfort anyone. Man’s law makes many to riot against one person saying they are bad. It is majority rules. That robs people from having individual freedom. The Holy Spirit is the comforter. Jesus is in the form of the Holy Spirit guiding people into all truth. Jesus, who is seen, is one with the Unseen Father. Money needs to be abolished. God’s mind that saves needs to come in. God will not try to gain tyhe whole world unto himself. A person who abort’s thinks: OH – MY – gosh. I don’t have enough money to raise a baby.
Independence: Jesus was dependent on the Unseen Father God. We need to be dependent on each other. Dependent was made to be a bad word. Life, you say? I hear words saying death to gays and zoosexuals and pedophilia people. I see nude people running for their lives when pursued by police. Should not deprive people of their property, Really? Repossessed homes, making people leave them. Repossessed whatever. God does not talk like the constitution is written. Defiled religions who don’t teach what religon really is. Jamies 1: 26 – 27, KJV. Jesus did that. Let the nude image be seen, saying so. That is God’s image.

Faith waits for what is not yet seen. Why need faith when what is unseen is finally seen? The saved will rejoice. Fallen beings and lost humans will not be happy. That is saying it lightly. Fallen beings will lose what tears, rusts, corrodes, wears out, and breaks. Lost will call for mountains to cover them. Others will want to drown rather than burn. Fire givers will get what they gave. Husbands, be faithful to your wife. It is not a sin to have wives, and even concubines. Wives, be faithful to your husbands.
