  • My personal favourite in this regard is Number 5:11-31 that basically says that if a man suspects his wife of cheating on him, whether based or baseless, he can take her to a priest (with some king of grain offering), who would have her brink "bitter water". If she's been unfaithful, she will swell ***AND HER WOMB WILL MISCARRY***. So yeah, in the old times, the priest themselves would carry out abortions. And here's an obnoxious gay dude preaching about how abortion is bad. Fail.

  • Why is this guy quoting the Old Testament....what a slippery slope that is. Accoring to many "that doesn't count anymore". Sorry, I don't know how you are figuring out new covenant vs. old....oh wait, you aren't...your selecting things that fit with today's reality.

  • You should really look at argument 5. If there is nothing other than the miscarriage, it is only a fine. If other damages occur to the mother, then the other things kick in. In the Standard Revised Bible Ecclesiastes 11:5 is As you do not know how 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. The spirit enters after bones are formed. Not at conception.

  • @whoo689 what do you mean that God preforms his own abortions?

  • @scuntpunter420 "Christianity is going to be the ruin of this once great nation.". This one great nation was more Christian before when it was more great.

  • I think you framed your argument very well in this video.  You brought up many points that bear further consideration. Unfortunately, it does seem that you took the easy road, and sought passages that support your stances, rather than taking up the challenge of the passages that seem to differ from that point of view. If you would consider making such a video, I would be most interested in seeing it!

  • @2003SCT

    Not that they - the anti-gay people and the anti-abortion people - would admit it.

  • @Bluebelle9289 Exactly...they quote the Old Testament when its convenient yet dismiss a majority of Old Testament when its not. If you know you are doing it, its the height of intellectual dishonesty.

  • Funny. None of the passages this yahoo has posted in his video dictate an anti-abortion stance. In fact, none of them have anything to do with abortion period. It's so funny to see the anti-abortion people fail.

  • @Feralus69

    They left it out because they don't want people to figure out the truth.

  • @2003SCT

    Anti-gay people quote the Old Testament. Why is this any different?
