1 | Can you be pro-life but not do anything? | Genesis | arundel | 220756 | ||
Thanks Azure. But my question is more about the biblical basis for the *inaction* by the broad majority of the Protestant community of the faithful. I can see why many Protestant communities are "pro-life" in mindset, but cannot find the biblical basis to support the inaction that earns Protestants a nationwide reputation as indifferent when it comes to doing something about it. I understand there are tremendous theological differences between Catholics and Protestants, but what is the biblical basis for believing in the pro-life cause but not doing anything about it? It seems to me that the Catholic Church believes in the pro-life cause and vigorously fights for the rights of the unborn, while the many in the Protestant community of the faithful claim to be pro-life but do little to help. I'm surprised by this disparity and would like to understand what theologically and biblically separates us when it comes to take our faith into action. Are there verses to support belief in helping the "least of these" without doing something about it? (again, this sounds terrible to even write, but all the pro-life leaders (local, regional, and national) I've spoken with have confirmed this disparity -- from local managers of crisis pregnancy centers to political advocacy groups to protestant-led groups like 40 Days for Life) |

2 | Can you be pro-life but not do anything? | Genesis | Beja | 220761 | ||
Arundel, There is, of course, no biblical basis for our inaction. I believe if I recall correctly that it is around 3 percent of churchmembers that even support their church financially. If we can't motivate them to do this, how much more difficult for a pastor to get his people to join a protest? I can assure you that the biggest obstical in my own church is not a lack of pro-life protests. If it makes you feel any better I loathe abortion and I try to instill the same mindset in the church I serve. In Christ, Beja |
