Randy Alcorn presents a message from Scripture—and from the heart—about the value of human life and injustice of abortion. Filmed January 15, 2012 at Good Shepherd Community Church in Boring, Oregon.
I did a phone interview for a film called The Life Project, produced by Verite Studios. Our office received an email from Timothy Eaton, the director, in which he wrote:
Pastors know that roughly one out of five women in their congregations have had an abortion. Many pastors have had abortions in their families. Many pastors may not have counseled unwed pregnant women strongly enough against aborting their babies. It is a subject fraught with pain for any congregation.
Randy Alcorn answers the question, "What is your opinion of organizations like the Center for Bioethical Reform?" Original interview conducted by Verite Studios.
Randy Alcorn answers the question, "Is the unborn part of the mothers body?"
* If...this life is a vapor,
* And...it’s infinitely better to be with God in heaven,
* And...babies (including the unborn) and children who die below that elusive age of accountability go to heaven (as I believe)
* Then...why do some Christians consider abortion such a crime against the unborn?
The Bible teaches human beings are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27; James 3:9). Not just Adam and Eve, but each individual since has been personally created by God (Malachi 2:10). Personhood is never measured by age, stage of development, or mental, physical, or social skills (Exodus 4:11).
Abortion is about God. To leave God out of the picture of abortion is to trivialize it. All things are trivial without God.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5)
I have come to the conclusion that abortion may not be as off limits for Christians as the church professes it to be be. I have laid out my argument below. What do you think?
