Islam, Abortion, Satanocracy (Democracy is in fact from Satan, when the majority are immoral you will have immoral laws and a lost nation, simply look around you.)
Islam and abortion cannot be fought by an ungodly people.
Islam will never be checked by a nation that kills it's own children. Far too many people say that there are no early church teachings and nothing in Holy Scripture (Bible) regarding this.
There was in fact much written;
ABORTION
“You shall not murder a child, whether by [procuring its] abortion or killing it once it is born.” Didache (2:2)
This question has been asked by modern Christians who should know better without even asking; “What does the Holy Scripture (Bible) say about abortion?” We live in a time when just about 46 million babies are aborted in the world each year. Yet very little is said from the pulpit. There is little understanding from the church at large and the people regarding the teaching on abortion, or worse use Holy Scripture (Bible) as a justification for permitting limited abortions. We need a clear understanding about what the Early Christians thought concerning this atrocity - the Didache is helpful in providing one such voice.
The Didache is very clear in its denunciation of abortion and infanticide. In Chapter 2:2 the Didachist instructs the faithful – those who have chosen “The Way of Life” not to abort their children or kill them after they are born. By contrast, the people who have chosen the “Way of Death,” are described as “…child murderers, who abort what God has formed” (Did – 5:2).
In the first century, there was a number of methods used to end an inconvenient pregnancy or get rid of an unwanted infant; including induced, chemical and surgical abortion for the unborn, and “exposure” of newborn infants. It is astounding that the practice of surgical and chemical abortion, (a kind of “morning after” drug), was so common that the Early Church Fathers had to address the issue in their writings.
There exists, in the writings of the early church, an unbroken chain of condemnation for the practice of abortion and condemnation was for both women and the fathers. When combined with Holy Scripture (Biblical texts) and writings such as the Didache, which are in agreement with the Patristic writings, there exists an unbroken chain of teaching which extends from the early 1st Century Church and on into our modern era – challenging the church today to gain understanding. Some of the Holy Scripture (Biblical texts) regarding abortion can be found below;
Exodus 21:22-25. Here the Law of Moses is clear; whether intentional or not the premature birth of an infant which results in its death will be punishable by death; “and if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage [resulting in its death]…then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life.”
Psalms 139:13-16 shows God intimately involved in the conception and development of the individual in the mother’s womb. “For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother’s womb…. My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret…Your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”
Also Jeremiah 1:5 indicates that God is aware of the potential of His people from conception. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I sanctified you… There can be little doubt the OT served as a foundation for the Patristic writings of Tertullian and the Didache with regard to abortion.
The 1st and 2nd Century writings of the Early Church Fathers regarding abortion is staggering! Early Church documents as early as 70 A.D. are extensive on the subject – this does not include the writings of Holy Scripture or the Didache. Below are some examples;
“You shall not kill a child by obtaining an abortion, nor, again, shall you destroy him after he is born.” – Barnabas (c.70-130)
“We say that those women who use drugs to bring on abortion commit murder… We also teach that it is wrong to expose an infant. For those who expose them are guilty of murder.” – Athenagoras (c. 175).
“Among surgeons‟ tools there is a certain instrument that is formed with a nicely-adjusted flexible frame for first of all, opening the uterus and then keeping it open. It also has a circular blade, by means of which the limbs within the womb are dissected with careful, but unflinching care… (the next comments are omitted due to graphic nature)… ...they give it, (the surgical tool), the name, “killer of the infant” – which infant, of course had once been alive.” – Tertullian (c. 210).
“Indeed the Law of Moses punishes with appropriate penalties the person who causes abortion. For there already exists the beginning stages of a human being. And even at this stage, [the fetus] is already acknowledged with having the condition of life and death, since he is already susceptible to both.” Tertullian (c. 210)
Why then is this still allowed and practiced by many in the church? If you want to defeat an enemy you must yourself defeat the enemy that is within you first.
