Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Did you know that directly telling a lie about when life starts in the womb is a slap in the face to God? Did you know telling a lie is a sin in Godâs eyes? How about aborting babies in the womb, then cutting up the body parts for sale? What do you think God thinks about that?
He can take it, though, for the final decision is in His hands. It is the issue of where is the beginning of life, personhood and a personâs future. Based on Scripture, particularly Psalm 139:13-16, the beginning of life and personhood can be no other than at the moment of conception:
âFor You formed my inward parts; you covered me in my motherâs womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 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.â
Satanic Darkness
That is why I am saying that any other claim that life does not begin at that point is a slap in Godâs face! Another defining Scripture also indicates the source of that denial of Godâs intimate creation of life in conception. It arises from the depths of Satanic darkness:
âThe thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantlyâ (John 10:10).
When Thomas Jefferson framed the Declaration of Independence, and then the founding fathers endorsed it, they did not identify when life began, but the words parallel those of Scripture in Psalm 139 and John 10 above. The Declaration of Independence makes this statement:
âWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happinessâ¦.â
Is it not uncanny that those who embrace the so-called âpro-choiceâ position on abortion are primarily those who also identify themselves as âmore equalâ than others? The egotistical elite, who make up the core of the womenâs rights movement, the feminazis I call them, have a hidden agenda, I suspect, that is more akin to the New World Order plans to reduce the population to a more manageable size of 400 million or less on the earth. That means that over six billion people must be eliminated, and abortion addresses that very well.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happinessâunalienable rights that are a gift from our Creator, and the first one listed is Life. The claim is made that a womanâs health and well-being are issues that justify a choice of abortion. In 2016 I understand there were more than 100,000 abortions in America, alone. I cannot believe that a womanâs health and well-being was the justification for all of those abortions. Can you?
I can concede that there are such cases, as well as rape and incest situations, but it is more likely that the majority of the abortions were merely for convenience and a gruesome form of birth control. Of course, I am a man, and how could I know anything about a womanâs concerns, right?
I recall a lady in the community where I grew up who was helped in her first pregnancy with medical treatmentsâpain killers and medical assistance, but she wanted to see just how it would be in her second pregnancy if she endured it naturally. Perhaps she bore the child at home, Iâm not sure. But the summation of it was that she âthought it was going to kill her!â
God did tell Eve, as punishment for her disobedience in the Garden, that she would suffer pain in childbirth. Modern medicine has made the prospect much more endurable, but even so, is there a possibility that some women are expressing defiance toward God in their denial of a right to life for their unborn? Can anyone honestly justify partial birth abortions?
Capstone
Here is the capstone of the whole beginning of life and personhood issue, if the passage quoted earlier from Psalm 139 is rejected merely because one chooses not to believe it. During the Christmas holiday season I was looking at the passage in Luke 1 that tells of the angel Gabrielâs surprising visit to the young Hebrew maiden named Mary:
âNow in the sixth month [of Elizabethâs pregnancy with John the Baptist], the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virginâs name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, âRejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!â
âBut when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, âDo not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.â Then Mary said to the angel, âHow can this be, since I do not know a man?â
And the angel answered and said to her, âThe Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.â Then Mary said, âBehold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.â And the angel departed from herââ (Luke 1:26-38).
The question to be answered in that passage is this: âWhen did life and Personhood begin for the conceived Son of God?â
Right away Mary visited her cousin, Elizabeth, to relay the good news and, no doubt, to confirm what the angel had told her of her cousinâs pregnancy:
âNow Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, âBlessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lordââ (Luke 1:39-45).
This is a lengthy quote, but the full context is important to see that Maryâs conception by the Holy Spirit must have been almost immediately after being told of it, for she âarose with hasteâ and went to visit Elizabeth, and as soon as she greeted her cousin, the babies in both wombs were alive with instant recognition! There were no merely non-living, non-person fetuses in those wombs. They both were living testimonies of the God of the impossible!
God of the Impossible
If the Immaculate Conception was the beginning of mortal life for the Son of Man, Jesus, who has never been without life from eternity (John 5:26), what does that say about the beginning of life and personhood for all mortals? Therefore, I must say outright, it is a slap, even a backhand, in the face of God to claim that life and personhood do not begin at conception. And since it is so, all those who have been aborted will be waiting beyond the veil of this life to stand as witnesses to this truth.
Psalm 139:16 says, âHe wrote them all down in His book of life.â
Godâs indictment of the unredeemed, lost mankind is this: âThere is no fear of God before their eyesâ (Romans 3:18).
They have no fear because they have no faith, without faith there is no salvation, without salvation you cannot enter the kingdom of God, you will be denied the eternal state and be judged to burn in hell. Is that what you really want for eternity? Maranathaâ¦â¦...
I totally agree with you, and God Bless your courage. That said in this day and age there is no excuse for unintended pregnancy, noone really has right to claim ignorance. All these enlightened women can't figure out how to swallow a pill or God forbid abstain.Planned Parenthood should be renamed Scheduled Murder. Sex and promiscuity have been dumped on us for years, what did we expect? It is the decline of our morality and accountability that have created so many of our problems, but how to rewind?
Remember God has a plan. A perfect plan where everyone gets exactly as the choose.
He has given mankind freewill. Everyone knows (or should) that choices have consequences.
Earth and human life is a means for God to allow these deciding choices to be realized.
Which will you choose? I choose to glorify God and ask for his blessings!
You are so right ,I have always said , that life begins at conception , im pro-life , and abortion is murder , plain and simple ,I also know that God is in control and one day these people will have to answer to God, I loved reading your comment pastor. God bless you always.
you are so right , I choose to do good, ive not always done this , but now im on a right full path , I want to spend eternity with God , when I pass . I will be so glad . when all this evil is over , praise God always,
Well we could rewind this if planed parenthood would rid itself of abortion and get into adoption. Ones that are pregnant should go full term, give babies up for adoption, and take the money they receive for their child and start a new life with a proper education. It is certainly better than murder in the womb which to God is a abomination.
you are so right .life begins at conception . abortion is murder ,im pro-life always.
