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.
When my baby nephew was born, he was diagnosed with a serious condition of hole in his heart, and that he had to be operated on immediately in order to live. Through prayers however, God not only healed and restored him and miraculously gave him a new heart that even the doctors were stunned, but also spared him any further life threatening complications, and today he's a fine healthy little boy who's passionate about the Lord !!
Do you dare to believe in such a miracle of God ?
A statement such as "carrying the baby to full term will kill the mother" is not only negative, but it's against God's will.
Matthew 12:37
"For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
Note that it says it's by YOUR OWN words that you will be condemned, not God's words, not satan's words, not other people's words...
Start by renouncing those negative words, speaking postively from now on, praying against the potential deformities and trusting God to work a miracle.
Relax Tina, he is just want to have a discussion on this topic.
Frankly, I haven't thought about it, to kill the baby or to kill the mother assuming carrying to full term will kill the mother, mmmm, interesting question for discussion.
Let me ponder on this and see if the bible has anything to say on this.
Do I sound harsh ??... Gee, sorry guys.. thousand apologies.
I came here two months ago for some light-hearted fun, but never thought I'll end up being bashed, bullied and belittled ! .. ...
No wonder all the other females here have gone into hiding !..
Why is such a statement against God's will? Don't quite understand this.
I mean if Doctor say so that carrying baby to full term will kill the mother or mother will die.
I am sorry if you feel you had been bashed, bullied and belittled. All I did is to ask a question and how a reply by your fellow christian using the word relax makes you feel bashed, bullied and belittled, isn't that a little too sensitive?
You might want to consider starting some topics related or interesting to females.
Er, I think we got off on the wrong foot, I wasn't referring to you at all, neither was I referring to user sujkop when I said I was bashed, bullied and belittled ... and I forgot that you are not a Christian, my earlier reply is actually more relevant for Christians.
According to World Statistics (http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html ), only 6% of all abortions occur because of potential health problems concerning either the mother or child, while a staggering 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).
Although Christianity forbids abortions, we owe it to our good senses and wisdom to decide to abort the child should the mother's life be in danger. She can always try for another baby again.
God is forgiving and understanding, and you shouldn't feel guilty about it as it's a circumstance beyond your control.

Does your reply mean that Christians can go for abortions? What about killing of the innocent unborn baby in the womb when aborting?
Can I ask what is your view on this if it happen to you? Will you abort and kill your unborn child or carry to full term believing God will take care and you will not be killed after delivery?
Nope it is not happening to me, just curious, happen to come by this christian forum from www.singaporeforumonline.com.
Not all Christians are against abortions. Those that are for abortions however, are those liberals who pretend to be like us, the true Evangelicals.
Abortion, according to the Word of God, is wrong. It is murder, and the child who gets aborted will probably be sent to hell to be tortured for eternity because he/she has not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is just the same as we have in real life, a person who has not heard of the gospel and dies before hearing it will have to spend eternity playing gambling games with the Devil.
It is a shocking reality to you non-christians, but that's truth.

To begin with, I wonder whether you even deserve a reply as this could be another one of your attention-seeking dramedy...
How can an unborn foetus in the womb hear the gospel ?
