Noah, Babies and Abortion
A: Righteous Judgement against sin.
Attributing humanism to God is an insult to God. Life belongs to Him. To give and to take. We are not God.
1. Let's look at the reason for the ark & 2. (Discuss abortion and babies as noted as a sub topic. A 2for1.)
Sleptics saying ok God judged the wicked, but killed innocent babies... clearly have limited knowledge of the Bible and God. Btw, how do you know God allowed anyone to get pregnant 🤷♀️ during the time frame of Noah building-completing the Ark?
The people knew Noah lived a right life and had faith in God, and was the only one seen by God to be righteous. They had 120 years to repent. He may have preached repentance to them, or not. God knew the people would not repent, or he wouldve given them Grace to and saved them. God is patient with sinners and does not end our life the 1st time we sin, as he justly could. He desires people to repent and have a restored relationship with Him, but people choose to: disobey, they choose pride, self-righteousness and unbelief. God draws the line, and knows the lifespan of every human. He made it.
So, it seems God had determined to only save Noah (and his family) to start over again, he was gracious to Noah's family to not judge them with the world. He saved them from that judgement. And when they arrived on dry land and God told them to go out... they heard God speak. And its highly likely they since the flood started, upon hearing God after the flood ended, or eventually put their faith in God. He saved them all, when none deserved it. That's grace. Puts things into perspective when you live thru that.
So it seems the ark was not meant to fit everyone, because God already knew the people's hearts and knew that no one would turn from sin to God anyway. So he didn't have Noah build a extremely ginormous ark. it was big enough for what it needed to be, and built as God told him to. For the rescued few in The Lifeboat. One door. One way in.
Also, God creates life and is able to bring those innocent babies straight to Heaven whether miscarriage or if he judges those on earth such as those in Noah's day, in era of wicked nations around Israel in OT. Or since then, (or those harmed by others at any point in time such as accidents, miscarriage, child sacrifice & abortion). God will protect the souls of innocence.
God would bring those babies to Heaven if there were any, and they were blessed to avoid all the corruption, suffering and misery of a sin stained life on earth. He was merciful and loving and they are with Him. He created them and they are his.
However important also to note, if God did in times past destroy a nation in Judgement, including those babies, it is because they would be born and do wickedness like their parents/pagan culture. He can cut that off. But by His Grace, and love, brings them to Heaven.
God has made a place for them, whether they die in miscarriage, stillborn, killed by parents worshipping Satan, child sacrifices, infant deaths or murders, etc... they get to enter Heaven and enjoy eternity with God. He showed grace and love towards those lives by keeping them from the wicked nations who would be judged. God creates everyone and has His own plan & purposes for each of us. Theirs seems to be in Heaven.
God doesn't want us focusing on others, He wants us to look at ourself, and be saved from the coming Judgement. He made the way thru Jesus and all who come to Him shall be saved.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 10:7 So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep
John 10:9 I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture
When the last day for you or rapture arrives... there will be no second chance. Like the Ark the door will be closed forever.
Like Jesus who is the Way, the Door; the entry point to Heaven, that way will be cut off the moment you die.
God warns all who die in sin will be judged, and said to flee to Christ for refuge while you can. He made the way. Choose life.
Bonus:
Noah's Ark also points to Christ as our Refuge and Redeemer:
You know, the dam broke one day, and it broke at Calvary. And it broke on Christ and drowned Him in all the sea of sin. And it will break again, and it will drown all those men who are not in Christ. Christ took the judgment for those who believe. For those who do not believe, they will take their own judgment. And the wrath of God awaits them. Because they hold the truth, no matter what they claim, but they hold it, and suppress it because of their sin.
Now that is where the gospel begins. But remember, there is good news, and the good news is Christ has taken the full fury of God’s wrath if you’ll accept His gracious substitution for you.(*)
