which proof are you talking about again.

Because People fight for abortion rights in US and other western countries doesn't make it totally right.

A woman should do abortion if and only her life is at risk.

Without Bible quotes of any sort, you’re mentioning your opinion on the matter.

Why would Jesus Christ have had need to teach His own followers about abortion? undecided

Jesus was more of the modern teacher and who Christians are instructed to follow regarding daily living.

Are the US, and other western countries you speak of a part of the Kingdom of God where Jesus Christ rules over and called His followers to be citizens of instead of the world? undecided

Your question should be something like does marriage, childbearing, etc. even have anything to do with the Kingdom of God? undecided

Modern teacher? Jesus Christ is God's New Covenant and Law in the Kingdom of God, the Constitution in a land called known as the Kingdom of God. What exactly is modern about that? undecided

Written in God's law to the Israelites:

“If men should struggle with each other and they hurt a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but no fatality results, the offender must pay the damages imposed on him by the husband of the woman; and he must pay it through the judges.But if a fatality does occur, then you must give life for life" Exodus 21:22-23

So God said anyone who mistakenly injure the life in a pregnant woman and kill the baby must be killed.

Why?

"For you produced my kidneys; You kept me screened off in my mother’s womb" Psalms 139:13

Because the life enters God's record right from conception, now try to think of what God will do to the deliberate killer of a baby in the womb.

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

This is more of the answer I sought. Though the situation related more to accidental miscarriage, it was the only perceivable situation at the time. Hundreds, if not tens of thousands of years later, women pay for societally accepted means of ejecting unwanted fetuses.

My reason for creating this thread is to prove that the Bible either needs an update or abandonment as a means to guide one’s life — especially in a future where many commonplace events were inconceivable during creation of then laws.

You see constitutions, those serve more to guide the common man than any religious text will.

The Bible doesn't need an update.
It has stood the test of time and it's still standing.
The spirit of God still ministers to the hearts of people in these latter days as written in the scriptures.
Abandonment of the Bible or otherwise is a choice every Christian must make. Remember, he who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is not worthy of the kingdom.

With regard to your question, as written in the old testament book of Exodus, the husband of a woman together with the judges determine the punishment due for men that cause a woman to miscarry.
In my interpretation therefore, I see it that God has vested the decision to condone or forbid abortion on the couple and the rulers/judges of a society/group of people.

The old testament scriptures however has already fully condemned premarital sex and only condones it on the grounds that the man must pay the bride price of the girl.
In my thinking therefore, a boy and a girl that engages in premarital sex without the boy paying the bride price of the girl afterwards have already condemned themselves and must both bear the consequences of their actions. Whether they opt for abortion or carrying a pregnancy to term, the consequences will live with them.

Your view about the bible is interesting to me.....I want to assure you that the bible is not yet outdated....while the bible may not have a direct laws on many matters today, the bible contains a lot of principles that can guide us in living a better life. The topic above is one of them. I could show you more bible principles on matters of smoking or even gambling. Chat me up on 08167469103.

That is infanticide which is a sin depending on which side of God’s favour performs the act. Abortion is the removal of a foetus. Many combatants for the name of God were instructed to kill babies of the opposing side and remarry the mothers.

One can’t become a mother if the child isn’t birthed. No sin committed.
