This "what is hidden" segment takes a look at issues through a Biblical worldview through an in-depth analysis of the issue. People in power suppress the truth with their wickedness and there are terrible things that happen behind the scenes. The purpose of this segment is to help navigate through and combat culture.
A BIBLICAL OVERVIEW FOR THE PROTECTION OF UNBORN LIFE
The "what has been made known" segment of this series covered the secular overview of abortion by shedding light on the fact that a women’s right to choose starts with choosing to be sexually active or abstinent, that life starts at the moment of conception, how the cases of rape/incest/risk to mother’s life are illogical arguments, the stats on why women choose abortion, the abortion process and what the pre-born child can feel during it, and the resources available to pregnant women in difficult situations.
Abortion is a matter of spiritual warfare. What most people don’t realize is that sin has a ripple effect and that’s just how the evil one wins—when we allow the works of darkness to effect our decision making. The abortion industry feeds into several other evil practices such as sex trafficking, child sacrifice, genocide, eugenics, infanticide, racism, population control, and the unethical harvesting of baby parts. The Bible is very clear that God forms us in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5) and that He is the artist/creator who knows each child intimately (Psalm 139:13-16). It’s clear that the punishment for ending life in the womb is the same penalty prescribed to the murder of an adult (Exodus 21:22-25) and we know from history that abortion is one and the same as child sacrifice (Micah 6:7, Matthew 2:18). Bottomline, every child is made in the likeness of God, they are His image bearers, and we are called to protect them (Genesis 1:26-27).
HIDDEN AGENDA
Mission: murder innocent lives & oppress society
Convince women to sacrificially offer their innocent unborn child to the false god of self. When a mother chooses abortion, she's choosing to trade in her child's life for a different outcome
Throughout history offering a child to a "diety" was a way to ensure prosperity (ex: Moloch/Molech/Baal). The wealthy would even save their own child by offering the child of a lower-class citizen. Leaders would often eliminate an entire generation to preserve their status. (Matthew 2:18)
Reject that human life begins at conception
The law sees the murder of a pregnant woman as a double homicide. God sees the murder of the unborn as an equal crime with equal punishment.
God is active in the formation & creation process of every child. He knows & loves each child before He forms them in their mother's womb.(Exodus 21:22-25, Genesis 9:6, Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:13-16)
Murder image bearers of God
To be made in the image of God means we resemble God on earth physically and spiritually.
This doesn't just refer to our physical attributes but humankind's inherent soul, dignity, morality, virtue, intellect, etc. Therefore the unborn child must be protected as a person from the moment of conception. (Genesis 1:26-27)
COMPARE & CONTRAST
Secular worldview vs. Biblical worldview
| PRO-CHOICE | CHRISTIANITY |
Rape & incest | Baby murder is warranted | The baby should not pay for the crimes of his or her mom or dad |
Money | Baby murder is warranted | For baby & mom, there are numerous options for short & long term support |
Elective | Baby murder is warranted | The baby can be placed with a loving mom & dad who can't have kids of their own |
SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Satan’s exploitation of humanity
The evil one exploits women by suggesting that a child would hinder their ability to spend money on themselves, achieve success, & continue their sexual pleasure.
Corrupt leaders gain power & get rich when lustful subordinates are vulnerable & distracted by their pleasure.
God's foundation of truth & divine power
Ephesians tells us that we are to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power (6:10) by putting on the full armor of God in order to stand against the devil’s schemes (6:11). Our battle is with unseen spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms who only care about exploiting our souls (6:12).
Diametrically opposed: abortion & Christianity
Humanity has a selfish belief that a person has a right to fulfill their sexual desires any way they see fit and without consequences.
Abortion murders the natural checks & balances that come with having sex. However, there are still unseen consequences
Immortalization of the idol of sex & self
Damage to the soul through the murder of innocent life
Enablement of repetitive inappropriate, lustful, blind, & sinful behavior that permeates throughout society
"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another." Romans 1:24
Perpetuating evil
Abortion is one of the driving forces in:
Sex trafficking
Population control
Child sacrifice
Racism
Eugenics
Infanticide
Genocide
Population control
Unethical harvesting of baby parts
The good news
For those who have had an abortion, the sin of abortion is no less forgivable than any other sin. Through true faith in Christ, all sins can be forgiven. Many women feel as though they must be pro-choice if they have had an abortion in the past, this couldn't be further from the truth. For women who have repented and received forgiveness from God, the power of your story can inspire others to choose life for their own baby.
"For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:13-14
Dear Lord,
Whoever has ears let them hear what Your Spirit has to say.
Amen.
