Didache

The Didache & abortion

Some think that arguing that Jesus never said Do not kill babies or do not have abortions, some how meansheis silence condones it. Jesus didnt say a lot of things in the NT. But He is The Word, and that is who wrote the entire Bible, by the Holy Spirit.

It is called arguing from silence, and it is nonsense.

They also conveniently forget Not everything Jesus said for 33 years (or his 3 years of ministry) was written down. Just what the Holy Spirit felt was necessary. 

"There are many other things which Jesus did and said, which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written" John 21: 25

If you review the NT letters in red, you also see no specific prohibition or endorsement of fentanyl, online pornography or email scams.  Yet they destroy lives all the same.  One of our greatest endowed gifts is the ability to discern what causes harm versus what doesn’t. And we can know what was forbidden in OT era (which was when Jesus was in earth).

If we look at Hebrew culture, history and the Bible, And compare to the wicked pagan nations around Israel we would find

Moral people wouldnt kill their child. Children are a blessing. 

Pagans were murdering & sacrificing their babies to Satan, (just as abortionists do today).

That God calls taking a human life on purpose - murder. It is right there in the 10C.

The Bible says that "God hates the shedding of innocent blood."

The midwife women at the time of Moses "FEARED GOD" and wouldnt kill the babies (in the Pharoah/King's attempt to murder all babies to prevent him from being born/surviving). They disobeyed him and feared God over man even if he was the highest person in the empire.

And all the other verses [listed in main article, as well pointing to God creating the babies, and knowing every human in his mind (before the world was created)].

Plus....

Christians have always been against abortions. The Didache is a non-canonical instuction book, written between A.D. 70 and A.D. 100 >>> in the 1st century even says:

In it it says "You shall not procure an abortion, nor destroy a newborn child".

Anyone using basic common sense would know that ending a human life on purpose is MURDER. You are simply trying to justify it so you (as a man or woman) dont have to take responsibility for your sexual immorality (sex outside of marraige 1:1).

Adoption exists! 

P.S. Jesus also didn’t say anything in response to the unrepentant thief either. >>Can’t get through to an unrepentant heart. 

Hopefully this info has provided more than enough info to show a human life should never be ended for convenience

Be like the repentant thief on the cross, and turn to Jesus.
