Is Abortion Evil and is it Satan's Joy to Murder Babies?
As I did last week with the topic of Prayer (From The Sunday Message), I have decided to also present this teaching in a question and answer format on abortion. Posted on the Christian Mission website is a more extensive article on the evils of abortion and there are also two videos on anti-abortion within the article. Please visit the website if you would like to learn more about this evil and why murder of the innocent is against God's plan. The article is under the menu item "Christian Ethics." As in pagan culture, child sacrifice is active today and it is commonly called abortion in the United States.
Abortion is murder and it is Satan's joy to murder babies. He was a murderer from the very beginning. The devil murders babies through his proxies. Who are the proxies of the devil? Every woman, man, doctor, nurse, administrator and any person who has assisted, helped, advised and encouraged abortion is a murderer and a proxy for Satan. They are the children of their father, the devil. Abortion is not a natural act. It is unnatural in every way. Abortion denies life. It takes life from a baby who cannot defend himself. It is not a woman's right or mother's right to murder another human being created by God. Do we now deny life from older people needing help with daily living or from the mentally or physically challenged because they need extra support or assistance? Who are we to play God?
What is your stand on abortion?
Mihran: I believe all abortion is murder. I am pro-life 100%. Whether the baby was conceived out of wedlock or rape, or has mental or physical retardation or deformities does not matter. I believe God's Word is pro-life 100% of the time. We care for and do everything we can for the baby. The baby is a gift from God. The baby in the womb is a human being, precious to God. We care for the baby no matter if she is ill or deformed, and we care for her until the time comes when God calls her home. We sacrifice our time and money to babies whether they are healthy or not. We put our love on her as God has put His love on us. We pray for the baby in the womb and we pray for the baby out of the womb. And we care for them and love them.
The baby in the womb is a person, unique and beautiful, a creation in the image and likeness of God. Who are we to play God, to take the life of the innocent because of the pride and selfishness of the mother or father? Why do we punish the innocent for the crimes of the parents? Anyone who supports abortion does not know God. A professing Christian who supports abortion does not know God and does not love as God loves and wants us to love. There are many false and deceived converts in this age of perversion. Only under rare circumstances (100% chance of the death of the mother) should a baby be aborted, and even this is a questionable decision (choosing a life we might know opposed to a life [the baby's life] we do not know). We lean on the Holy Spirit to make this decision for us.
Any person who aborts a baby or assists in an abortion is a murderer and God will judge unrepentant murderers. There have been over 60 million murdered babies in the U.S. since the early 1970s. It is said that Planned Parenthood murders one thousand babies a day. It is hard for me to image such a horrific thing and my eyes tear thinking about this. It is estimated that China has aborted over 400 million babies. These numbers are staggering and sad, so sad and hard to believe. But, believe this: All of these babies are in heaven with Jesus. Yet, their mother or father, and those who have assisted the abortion (doctors, nurses, etc.) may never see heaven and will likely burn in the Lake of Fire.
It is important that we preach the Gospel to young people and expectant mothers and fathers, that they know the Word of God regarding their unborn baby. A baby in the womb is a separate human being, with its own distinct DNA, different from its mother and father. When we deny life, that is, procreation, we deny the human race and anything special God created in us. God created the human race as lords of the earth. God gave us the ability to love one another, to care for one another; but not to murder one another. Murder is from the devil; he was a murderer from the beginning. To murder a defenseless little baby is to murder the image of God and His creation. It is pure evil and it breaks my heart.
Many years ago when my brother, John and I watched a program on abortion, we were horrified and moved by the Spirit and our eyes filled with tears in sadness and anger. If you have seen an abortion where the baby is torn apart, and in severe pain, perhaps you too would be angry. A godly anger should be in every human being regarding the evils of abortion. Our hearts cried out that day for the unborn. Today, I still weep for the innocent babies. My eyes tear daily over the evils of this world. But I also see the love of Jesus who holds me in his tender arms.
Many ask the question regarding babies born with serious deformities or retardation. I answer this question with another question: What would Jesus do? Jesus would care for them and put all His love on them. We do the same with God in us until God calls us home or calls the child home. Jesus was all about self-sacrifice. Likewise, let us turn from selfish desires to one of self-sacrifice. Let us put on a great love for all, including all who cannot care for themselves.
Why is abortion a political issue?
Mihran: Abortion should not be a political issue. Abortion has nothing to do with politics; it has to do with morality and murder, and the creation of a human being created, formed by God in His image and likeness. A baby is nothing less than a human being whether in the womb or not. The lack of respect for creation and life among all who support abortion is a calamity of the debased mind. Liberals, not knowing God, and refusing God, have made abortion a political issue claiming personal rights for woman. Abortion has nothing to do with a woman's rights. It has to with murder or the salvation of a baby. The left, and all supporters of abortion fail to give any rights to the baby and any rights to the father of the baby, or even the rights of the grandparents. All have a claim on the baby. Abortion is murder. And unless one knows God, he or she will always be deceived, believing the lie and not the truth in the Word of God. I am 100 percent convinced that any woman, doctor, nurse or anyone else who assists in an abortion and does not repent of the sin of murder, for forgiveness, will, at the day of judgment in front of Jesus, be judged as a murderer and will receive the due punishment that murders receive. Abortion is indeed evil and it is the work of Satan. God hates the murder of the innocent.
Is Abortion a Sin Against a Holy God?
Mihran: Yes. God’s sixth commandment of the Moral Law, “You shall not kill [murder]” (Exodus 20:13) is a serious sin against God. A baby in the womb is God’s creation. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart” (Jeremiah 1:5). Do you not know “Children are a gift from God” (Psalm 127:3). If God gave you a puppy, would you curse God then kill the puppy? “Thus says the Lord, who made you and formed you in the womb” (Isaiah 44:2).
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.”
An intricate unity;
Yet You would destroy me.
9 Remember, I pray, that You have made me like clay.
And will You turn me into dust again?
10 Did You not pour me out like milk,
And curdle me like cheese,
11 Clothe me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews?
12 You have granted me life and favor,
And Your care has preserved my spirit.
“In His hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?” (Job 12:10). In Jeremiah 6:7 God commands us to not take the life of the innocent. And in Deuteronomy 27:25: ‘Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person.” Doctors, nurses, administrators, every person paid to abort [murder] a baby and is paid for their service is guilty.
After the great flood, God said to Noah:
Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.
“Whoever sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed;
For in the image of God
He made man.
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth
And multiply in it.” (Genesis 9:5-7)
This is a promise that all murderers (abortionists and all complicit in abortion) God has made. Anyone who "sheds man's blood" (murders) "his blood shall be shed" (death penalty [capital punishment]). For the murderer has murdered the image of God who is in man. God created the human race. He created the unborn baby. When we murder a baby in the womb we murder the creation God has made and we murder His image.
Furthermore, God says be fruitful and multiply the earth. Multiply the earth does not mean kill the unborn. It means life and life abundantly.
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8; 22:15). A true Christian knows truth revealed by God’s word. Abortion is murder. This is clear. Human life begins at conception, no exceptions. Who are we to tell God who is fit to live? God gave us dominion over the animals not over other human beings. A human being is not an animal; we are exalted above all of God's creation to originally rule over the earth. We have a conscious given by God. Animals do not have a conscience. We have a spirit and the born again have the Holy Spirit who guides and teaches us the mind of God. When we draw on the Spirit we know truth and the difference from right and wrong. The truth is life and life more abundantly. Choose life and choose love.
