I'm looking forward to it.

According to the Word of God, abortion is one of the worst murders a human being can commit.

You say this, and don't back it up with scripture.

Quote:
About abortion, the Scripture says, "In the secret place doth he murder the innocent" (Psalms 10: 8). The "secret place" is the womb of a mother. Definitely, the baby is an "innocent."

Oh, for crying out loud. Get a real translation, not that KJV crap. Even with your inaccurate translation, you have to go quote-mining, take one fragment of one verse badly out of context, and badly misinterpret 30% of the words in that fragment to come up with something against abortion. And referring to a fetus as a baby is inaccurate, and biases the issue emotionally.

Quote:
As abortion in the sight of God is one of the worst murders, it stands to reason that the guilty ones will suffer the worst punishments.

First, you have not demonstrated your premise (that abortion in the sight of God is one of the worst murders) so your conclusion does not follow. Even if your premise were true, check Matthew 5:19 to see why your conclusion is a load of bull.

Quote:
Further, the Scripture says, "Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward" (Psalms 127:3). If children are a heritage or reward for parents, abortion destroys God-given rewards.

Only if fetuses are children, and there doesn't seem to be agreement on that point.

Quote:
It is true; some countries have legalized abortion. In no way can that alter the Word of God. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away."

Meaningless. You have not demonstrated that the Word of God is in opposition to abortion.

Quote:
One must pause to think of Helen Keller and the amazing impact she has had on this world.

What amazing impact was that, exactly? I'm sure you would not approve of Keller if you knew anything of her adult life- she was a socialist.

Quote:
Jesus said, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receives Me" (Matt.18:5). Quoting this verse, Mother Theresa, on February 3, 1994 in Washington D.C. at the National Prayer Breakfast with President Clinton (an abortionist) and his wife Hillary seated to her right, said, "The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because Jesus said, If you receive a little child, you receive Me. So every abortion is the denial of receiving Jesus, the neglect of receiving Jesus."

Except that not everyone agrees with your claim that a blastocyst is a child.

Quote:
Some couples, in order to avoid abortion, engage in "family planning." Any birth control other than self-control is abomination in the sight of God and invites the judgment of God.

Evidence please?

Quote:
"For thou has possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them" (Psalm 139:13-16).

“Thou shalt not kill” (Ex. 20:13)

And still, you have not showed a Biblical basis for the claim that a fetus is a person.

also, this is not a theocracy, so using the bible is not a valid argument, since this is a debate using logic, not theology, since logic is the bane of theology.

Well, the debate was whether Christians could be pro-choice or are compelled to be pro-life, so using the Bible is pretty much mandatory.

Many renowned logicians were also theists and Christians, so referring to logic as the bane of theology seems questionable. In any case, I don't see you using any more of a logical basis for your stance on abortion than Shadowgirl does, you're both mostly just working off of gut emotional reactions.

You need to take a good long and hard look at yourself and turn to God to show you.

I think I'm done debating with the intellectual midgets.

Shadowgirl, are you ever going to post something original that has any substance?

I do all the time but do you really care?

I am merely a messenger that tells the truth of things and I want to give the honest truth in what I say so really I don't think you are in any position to judge me lest you set yourself up to be judged.

wrong, you don't post anything that is even amusing, just the same old song and dance, Orwell at least bothers to go in depth and tries to be as correct as he can, you just say "God did it durrrrr." And then go catch the short bus.

I could say the same for you. The way you use Biblical terms to contradict the Bible isn't very smart.

I'm sure some saw it and investigated for themselves.
