Christian abortion

The title seems to make no sense. Killing unborn babies? Christian? The two just don’t go together.

But what about killing those who are not yet born again? That is a sort of spiritual abortion and is an extremely common practice in ‘the Christian community’. To put it simply, many who call themselves Christians kill any desire of non-believers to be like them. I, like many others, was hugely discouraged from seeking Jesus because I saw Christians as hypocrites who were quick to judge others, arrogant in their inconsistent certainties, illogical in their arguments and self-congratulatory in their supposed burial of pride. 

Christians judge and condemn others by rules that are not and never were intended for those outside the knowledge of Yahweh. The ten commandments may be used to judge all at the end of this earthly period, but the minutiae of the Old Testament laws were for the Israelites, not the world at large. Christians claim to trust Jesus and all that he taught, yet fail to follow half of what he commanded. They are certain that he died for their sins, yet frequently cannot tell the difference between the sin of rebelling against Yahweh and the ‘sin’ of eating a cream cake. Yet they are certain of your sin on almost every occasion. Christians argue, in some cases, that the bible trumps science in knowledge of the world, yet then try to prove their own version of science. They determine that some pieces that appear allegorical are taken literally and that other parts be accepted as allegorical. Christians too often appear triumphant in ending a discussion with the words, ‘Well I know what I know and what God tells me.’ There are too many Christian versions of Uriah Heep. Many are so proud of their legalistic credentials that they are proud to call themselves bigots.

The crazy thing is that Jesus was never like this and never asked us to be so. In fact, quite the opposite! My observations tell me that the more certain Christians are about how they and other people should behave, the less they seem to be absolutely certain in their trust of Jesus’ saving work. And it is these Christians who most often carry out spiritual abortions. 

Christians should be good parents of new-born followers of Jesus. With every spiritual abortion they perform ‘in God’s name’ they blaspheme the Holy Spirit. They condemn themselves with the one unforgivable sin.
