Jim is simply a liberal troll with an agenda and when cornered by the truth, he usually ignores it or posts some silly link. In other words, his ignorance is intentional.
But, I think I will add the Exodus verses to my meditation. They are easy to discount, as is his death of the mother mantra, but if they confuse some, then I will note them.
Jim is actually building an abortion doctrine based on some Rabbinical interpretation at the expense of all the other scriptures that pertain to the unborn. Amazing.

Matthew Henry regarding Exodus 21:22-23 - "Observe here,
I. The particular care which the law took of women with child, that no hurt should be done them which might occasion their mis-carrying."

Notice the plural "them" and "their" - refering to both mother and child. So simple.

...I wrote a meditation on abortion. Although I am not a conservative Jew, you might find it helpful.

Jim, you should avail yourself of this resource. It references actual Bible verses, rather than links to websites. Most of us here prefer that sort of authentication. We find that God's word is life-giving. (Hmmm... a meditation on the sanctity of life grounded in the Word of Life. Sounds like a good idea to me.)

The American Baptist Association has always had a sideways bent. No surprise, the term baptist is often maligned and associated with hate groups and progressives as if it's a monolithic denomination. Thankfully it is not.

Thanks Rodney. This was the first time over the years that I was able to have any of the kids alone to speak with. Normally, if I try to say anything at all, even about the condemnation of sodomites,etc,etc, I get shut down right away by the parents or grandparents. Heaven forbid anyone gets their truth from God's Word,so I always get shut down according to what they,themselves feel is right and wrong, so it was real nice to get them alone. They were receptive, understanding, curious, and asked followup questions. I only wish the drive had been longer. : )

How come nobody on this board celebrates Christmas? At least that's what they claim!

Cobbler wrote:
Oh come off it. Nobody really believes in that myth do they. There is nothing in history which suggests that anybody should celebrate a god coming to earth is there. Just ask anybody on this board nobody here believes in that old story.

I might add, that the story did not stop at the cross. Jesus was buried, rose bodily from the grave, and ascended to heaven where He intercedes for His beloved. His first coming makes us long for His second coming.

Sure, the incarnation doesn't tell the entire gospel story, but try to fully explain the cross (or the resurrection, ascension, etc.) without addressing the incarnation (Christ's deity). Without the incarnation, redemption's story is ludicrous.

From the news:
"This group purports to be a group that wants religion removed from public places … but then they're using an inflammatory religious symbol to make their point," said the Rev. Andrew Sherman of St. Gregory's Episcopal Church. "That feels both hypocritical and frankly shameful to us."
An Episcopalian says "That feels both hypocritical..."
A believer would say "That is both hypocritical..."
