As far as other issues with the Bible, let me direct you here so you can focus on the question at hand, and not ad hominems.
Can you, or can you not, discuss the issue of abortion without relying on the Bible to make your case? This is a simple, yes or no question.
Thanks much. |
If there is no God, then it comes down to a Utilitarian perspective, right? It makes me feel better about my life if I kill my baby... Go for it, there is nothing stopping you. Nothing will condemn you. Have it your way! It's your tissue, do as you please with it. Be my guest, who am I to stop you?
The Bible is the most unique book ever written. I will defy anyone to match it up against any other book ever written. Bar none.
The interp of such a book as the Bible, is for people who seek its writer. Nothing in the Bible leaves you to believe anything else. Read Psalm 119 if that unclear.
Read Hebrews 4:12; 2 Tim. 3:16 and 17... John 1:1... It doesn't let you think any less of it, than the authority it is.
Anyone who says they studied the Bible extensively and doesn't come away with that understanding isn't looking very hard.
