1 | Biblical basis for pro-life initiatives? | Genesis | arundel | 220751 | ||
What Scriptures back up the political and outreach aversion that most churches have against pro-life initiatives? I recently attended my first "Walk for Life" and was surprised how few Protestants attended. The evangelical pastors who spoke both independently apologized to the 30,000 Catholics who showed up about the lack of involvement from Protestant communities in the pro-life movement. Shaken by this, I reached out to some local, regional, and national pro-life leaders who confirmed that this is a nationwide struggle. At the few pro-life initiatives I've attended I've seen the same demographics. I'm looking to understand the theological and biblical basis for the lack of involvement. I thought this was a unifying issue between Catholics and Protestants. I appreciate your help. |

2 | 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) |
