You can call me all the names you want but it seems to me that your religious zealotry has allowed you to misrepresent God’s word to suit your own agenda.

Are you getting your definitions of life and murder from the Bible?

Can you explain how the commandment can prohibit murder but God tells David to slay all, even women and children?

Or how the penalty for causing a miscarriage was not the same as murdering?

Or what about Jehu? I can only imagine what you’d call him and he was obeying God’s commands.

Adam became a living soul when he began breathing.

Leviticus directly says that the life of the flesh is in the blood. There is no blood at conception, so how can life begin at conception? At least Biblically speaking?

WHO has the RIGHT to take human life? God does. Who are you to question Him? Your question explains itself.

Of course, if God decides to destroy a particular people it is a judgement and is not murder. God is a GOD, after all, and He knows best about those things. It is really no different than a shepherd deciding which sheep to cull from the herd.

How does the shepherd to the culling? Based on what?

Gen 49:25 by the God of your father who will help you, by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that crouches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

Job 1:21 And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

Job 31:15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

Psa 17:14 from men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants.

Psa 71:6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you.

Psa 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Psa 139:13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

Ecc 11:5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

Isa 44:2 Thus says the LORD who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen.

Isa 46:3 "Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb;

God bears us from before our birth and blesses us in the womb. Do you honestly believe he considers abortion something other than murder?

Can you explain how the commandment can prohibit murder but God tells David to slay all, even women and children?

I suggest you ask God of His will. After all, the Bible teaches that His ways are a mystery to us. But God brought death into the World because of our transgressions. So, for God to tell David to slay all, it is part of God's plan, and who are we to queston, or judge? It's we who are prohibited from taking the life of another. And that is exactly what abortion is.
