Have You Taken a Bribe against the Innocent?

Throughout Scripture, God warns against pagan practices such as the detestable practice of child sacrifice (Deuteronomy 12:29-31). When the Israelites entered the promised land, Joshua said, “Choose this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:14-15). 

Pagans sacrificed their children for some personal gain. 

 

Similarly, most people get abortions to make their lives easier financially or emotionally, offering a baby's life to be free of the consequences of irresponsible, unprotected sex. 

Sadly, some professing Christians promote this child sacrifice. 

1. Some vote for pro-abortion candidates to gain some promised benefit. Some vote based on a candidate's lifestyle instead of on his/her platform that will affect the lives of unborn babies.

2. Some remain silent about abortion for fear of offending others. This includes pastors who never preach on this important biblical topic, which contributes to point 3:

3. More than half of those who get abortions identify as Christian (source).

 

When someone does any of these things, they are valuing some personal gain above the life of an unborn human being. They are taking a “bribe” against innocent babies.

“Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.” Psalm 15 

Our priorities in life reveal the true treasures of our hearts (Matthew 6:19-21).

Paganism is alive and well. Choose this day whom you will follow.

Note 

Please examine this proabortion claim biblically and logically: 

“We have compassion for women. Pro-lifers only care about the baby.”

 

Proabortion groups offer one option for women: kill their babies, an option that can lead to lifelong trauma, physical problems, and always ends in the murder of a child. 

Pro-life groups care for both mother and child. Crisis pregnancy centers typically provide counseling as well as physical and financial help to needy pregnant women. And they provide ultrasounds to help a woman make an informed choice, something proabortion groups fight against. Pro-life groups also offer counseling to the many women who suffer regret and emotional problems called post abortion syndrome, a problem that most proabortion groups claim doesn't exist.

 

My prayer is that my posts about abortion will warn men and women against these things which will seriously damage their souls. And my heart's desire is to prevent the murder of unborn babies. 

I encourage you to read The judge Stands Before the Judge because one day each of us will stand before the Judge. 

And please read the devotions in The Value God Places on Human Life so you will better understand how to address this subject. Let's speak up!
