Message of the Day:- 1 Timothy 6:6-10 - "6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Link - Cult Watch.
Like to ask the community on abortion issue like whether can christians abort their baby if they found out that their baby has very very high chance of being born with down syndrome?
What does christianity says about abortion issue like above?
Generally Christians would advise not to abort a life. In my church, I heard a couple had a baby and the intestines were all outside according to scan. The doctors advise against keeping the baby and to abort it as chances of survival was low if not non-existent. The couple decided not to abort as they did not want to kill a life, so they gave birth to it. Today the baby is 2 years old, very healthy and alive.
Re: Abortion Issue : Can Christians Abort Their Baby?
Think the bible did not mention abortion at all, another way of looking at it, there is no example of abortion shown - murder, adultery etc are impt points of debate
wonder what does God want His children to learn from the bible about abortion knowing that God is love, knowing Job's experience, God's grace, soveignty etc etc
This is really a very tough question..
