God Does NOT Condone Abortion

Over the past few days, I have been bombarded with pro-life posts, basically condemning abortion in the name of Christianity/God -- as they should!! ✊️ But I have been hearing a loud minority (always from the ones who have never read the Bible! 🤪) trying to defend abortion, ALSO in the name of God.

Honestly, this is probably the most blasphemous argument I have ever come across, especially in the wake of the Epstein Files. People are upset about the treatment of children and babies at the hands of elites, but the deplorable act of abortion is fine at the hands of the MOTHER because "III said God says so! 🤪" It's beyond heretical.

So today, I am going to debunk this lie once and for all! 🙅‍♀️ However, if I'm going to do that, then I have to start at the very beginning: the definition of what child sacrifice actually entails.

(Technically, the beginning would be to address the "fetus" argument, but it's so incredibly asinine that it isn't even worth addressing! 😩 Fetus is the biological term for the developmental stage of HUMAN LIFE in utero. It is human life immediately upon conception because God told us so:

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart." (Jeremiah 1:5))

So, what are the requirements to meet the definition of child sacrifice? Well, a sacrifice is the act of giving up something valuable in exchange for something else, typically "better" than the sacrifice. The determining factor of a sacrifice must be the "valuable" part because this is what sets it apart from an offering, donation, or gift. A sacrifice is typically painful to depart with, but most importantly, it is a conscience decision that the participant agrees to take part in.

For example, someone may sacrifice eating the immaculate taste of chocolate for the sake of a healthier body. Obviously the short term act of enjoying the chocolate is heavenly, but by sacrificing it for their health, they will lose weight, be fitter, increase their longevity, etc. This is an example of a sacrifice.

Now, let's put that definition to the test, and watch how every instance in the Bible does NOT represent child sacrifice; rather, they are instances of correlation (children indirectly killed as the result of an event), or punishment (children killed for parental sins; not in exchange for something).

#1. The Great Flood: all of mankind was killed as a result of their transgressions (mating with fallen angels); children were not spared. Correlation.

#2. Sodom and Gomorrah: cities and its citizens were killed due to their transgressions. Children obviously lived in those cities, but were not spared. Correlation.

#3. Firstborn sons in Egypt: the Egyptians were punished for blasphemizing God, so they were to serve as an example for the rest of the world. Children were not exchanged for something in return, and the Egyptians did not agree to sacrifice their sons. Punishment.

#4. Any nations that were conquered: God would grant victory to the Israelites over opposing nations, and the Israelites would wipe out every man, woman, and child. God did not call for the specific killing of children; it was the Israelites who decided to keep the "virgin girls" for themselves. Correlation.

#5. David's son struck down: David had the High Priest killed in battle so that he could marry his wife. God killed his newborn son as punishment for his sin. David receives nothing in exchange, so it was not a sacrifice. Punishment.

#6. Jephthah sacrifices his own daughter: Jephthah promised to sacrifice "whatever walks through my door to greet him" if God made him victorious in battle. Jephthah was successful, but it was his only child that ended up greeting him. He was faithful to his promise and sacrificed his daughter. However, God never asked this of Jephthah -- Jephthah made the terms on his own -- and he obviously did not imagine the sacrifice would be his daughter.

Therefore, the only time God EVER called for a child sacrifice was when Abraham was tested in Genesis 22 (and even then, the sacrifice STILL did not take place! 🙏). God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, in order to determine just how faithful Abraham was to Him. After all, God was about to make the most pivotal covenant in the entire Bible, so one kinda wants to ensure that their follower is faithful and devout! 😅

However, upon seeing how committed Abraham was, God had His answer and immediately commanded Abraham to stop. Then God made His covenant with Abraham and never asked for child sacrifice again! 🙏

The belief that "Christianity is centered around child sacrifice," or that "God loves abortion" is extremely barbaric and misguided. Just because children died in the Bible does not equate to it being a main pillar of the faith; children die every day today and people criticize God for refusing to intervene! Women suffer miscarriages and stillbirths, yet that is not "God's will"; it is a consequence of our OWN freewill (choosing to have sex, issues due to poor existing health/lifestyle, medications, etc.).

Abortion is another consequence of our freewill, but do you ever notice how suddenly it's NOT God's will, but the woman's choice to make? Isn't it WEIRD how that works?! 🤪

In fact, if we're STILL confused, let's see what God Himself said about child sacrifice...:

"Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God." (Leviticus 18:21)

(Worship of Moloch. Source: https://scottaphillips.substack.com/p/a-tophet)

"Any Israelite or any foreigner ... who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death. The members of the community are to stone him. I myself will set my face against him and will cut him off from his people; ... he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. If the members of the community close their eyes when that man sacrifices one of his children to Molek and if they fail to put him to death, I myself will set my face against him and his family and will cut them off from their people." (Leviticus 20:2-5)

"They built high places for Baal ... to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind—that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin." (Jeremiah 32:35)

Now that we're a bit less confused on the subject, perhaps we can finally see abortion for what it is: CHILD SACRIFICE!! Most people tend to ask, "To who?" -- to OURSELVES!

Have we ever heard Nietzsche say that "God is dead"?! He did not mean that God doesn't exist -- he meant that we have replaced God with ourselves, and the world has become devoid of meaning!

So women sacrifice their babies in hopes that something "better" might come of it. A better education, a better paying job, a better time, a better partner, better circumstances. It is quite literally child sacrifice -- but nobody will call it for what it is.

And we have justified the act with "God l❤️ves abortion." It looks like Nietzsche was right....

Thank you for checking out this week's post 🙏 Abortion is an issue that is very near and dear to my heart. I used to be on the opposite side -- I supported a woman's "right" to choose, regardless of the circumstances -- and I now realize how very wrong I was. I have been utilizing my voice to speak FAITH instead, and I pray that God will continue to bless me with the appropriate knowledge. Amen! 🙏🙇‍♀️
