In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and He saw that it was good. Among His creations were the plants, the animals, and the first two humans, Adam and Eve.
I want to talk about delve the texts of the Bible to show truth and what I believe to be divine wisdom. To start, I want to talk about this weighty problem, I want to cite a passage possibly being pivot from the book of Jeremiah in the Bible, chapter 1:5-6: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." I think that this verse shows the profoundness of truth that life begins at conception, as I think the knowledge of God and the purpose for the unborn child comes before the time of their physical manifesting in the womb. I think that the sanctity of life is thus given establishment from its very first moment, a fact that I think should be said more in portions of the world of moral both sidedness. To start the examining of this content, I want to give reference to a text from Exodus in the Bible, Exodus 20:13,"'Thou shalt not kill.'" This commandment is one of the Ten Commandments, it is clear and without ambiguity in its prohibition of taking innocent life. While some may attempt to change the meaning of kill to make justification for some actions, the original Hebrew Bible text doesn’t have much interpretation. The gravity of this divine banning, I don’t think can be stated too much, as I think it shows the forming of the Judeo-Christian framework for ethics. This commandment, one of the Ten Commandments of the Bible, I want to go into what I think is the depths of scripture to find the meaning of the divinity or will on the matter of contraception and abortion. I want to see a text from Ephesians 4:27, "Neither give place to the devil." While this verse might seem to be unrelated, I want to think about the implications of what I think is the problem of abortion and contraception. Satan, who is the maker of evil and the maker of lies, thinks that separating sex from its natural consequence of procreation. In our quest for enlightenment, permit me to present a crucial passage from the New Testament, the book of Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 27: "Neither give place to the devil." While this verse may seem unrelated at first glance, consider its implications for the issue at hand. Satan, the embodiment of evil and the father of lies, I think would have humans believe that the separating of sex from the natural result of procreation. I think that contraception and abortion are some devices of the devil, designed to make corruption and to corrupt the sanctity of marriage and the nuclear family. By making prevention of the natural outcomes of intimacy within intercourse, I think that these practices make societal sufferings, including promiscuity, being infidel, and breaking down the structure of the nuclear family. I think that the devil wants the chaos that is made when a human rejects the design of God for human sexuality without reproduction. I think I want to go over Psalms 139:13-16: "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." I think I want to talk about what I think is wisdom. To start Genesis 1:28, "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." I think this commandment is very fundamental and that it sets forth the intent for reproducing as humans, I think it makes a clear showing that humans are made to engage in the act of multiplying and filling the earth. Contraception and abortion, are for making less multiplying and less filling.
Finally, I want to talk about why I think contraception and abortion should be both abolished and that the givers and receivers of such should be given to death. Genesis 9:6, “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” I think this verse, while misinterpreted, actually makes establishment for a profound truth: the taking of a life of a human, whether through direct murder or through contraception or abortion, is an affront to God's image and design. and the punishment is death, I think this verse shows that the causing of death is to be punished more than the action of contraception or abortion. I think this shows how the action of murdering life is more severe than any matter of intercourse. When Lot’s two daughters had intercourse that was unconsented with Lot, the two daughters got pregnant and their children lived, those children are the Moabites and the Ammonites. God lets even the children born because of unconsentual intercourse live because it is God’s law and the life of a human being is far more precious than any crime. Therefore both the giver and receiver of death should also be given onto death.
