Do you believe as I do that something must be wrong in the heart? If one is truly born again, how could they take this stand?
I think it's more that something is missing in the mind, since to be compassionate to someone you must have at least a basic grasp of their circumstances. After I was born-again I was still a pro-choicer for years. Of course, I was young and stupid, this man doesn't have that excuse, plus he is a teacher, from whom more is required by God. I changed sides when I found out more about fetal development. He needs to be confronted with the reality of these procedures...there are no circumstances under which Christ would advocate ripping a little kid into fetal cutlets and throwing her in the trash.
These verses (Ps. 139:13-16) speak to the fact that God knew each one of us - even before our birth
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Listen carefully to his answers and get the Hell away from him if you think he is perverting the word. It would be better that he had a milstone tied around his neck than that he cause one child to suffer. This could be God's way to move you to another church.
