Christianity Doesn’t Forbid Abortions; Pope Francis and Contraception

(Before It's News)

 

Invented Traditions: No, Christianity Doesn’t Forbid Abortion. The belief that anti-abortion doctrine has always been firmly and centrally located in the main sources and articulations of Christian doctrine is unfounded. The primary canonical interpreters of the Christian tradition show as little interest in the question of abortion as scripture does. It wasn’t until the latter part of the nineteenth century, more than 1800 years of effective silence on the subject, that Pope Leo XIII declared the simultaneity of conception and personhood.

 

Chris Christie, Pope Francis and Contraception. Many parishioners these days know that these man-made rules (emphasis on “man”) are actually being reinterpreted constantly. (A special year for abortion forgiveness? Really?)

  • Abortion is murder. That goes against the fifth Commandment. Wise up and stop spreading false doctrine.

      So let’s get this straight. You think, aborting a fetus is murder, but burning people alive for believing something else is not?

  • The Bible calls pregnant women “with child”. So of course abortion is murder.

  • God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ care not at all what the so called christians think. Murder is murder and will be punished. That punishment is here -now.

    You don’t have to be a believer to read and understand the text. Abortion was always considered a “sin” in Christian Judeo culture and tradition. From the law of retribution .Ex. 21:22-24 to the Diadche 2:1-2 (AD 70). The letters of Barnabas AD 74 . to the common era the Church always condemned it. Your study is a fraud.

    “The belief that anti-abortion doctrine has always been firmly and centrally located in the main sources and articulations of Christian doctrine is unfounded”

    It’s not only unfounded, it’s a downright lie. The test for an unfaithful wife. Numbers 5:11-29

    21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your WOMB MISCARRY and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your WOMB MISCARRIES.”

    The church being anti-abortion is nothing but sour grapes after being prevented from performing them. Only qualified doctors can now perform abortions.

      Add: Note the complete lack of free will choice involved when the church was preforming abortions. They were forced on women, draged into church, strpped and humilated infront of the entire congregation, for simply being accused of adultery or suspected by a jealous, possessive husband or anyone one with a grudge.

  • Thou shalt not commit murder.
