Bible Question: I know some people who participate in abortion clinic protests by placing tape over their mouths with the word LIFE written on them. Based on I John 3:17, I don't see this as a scriptural response. Offering the young ladies help or another way other than abortion seems to be more scriptural. A silent protest such as just described would seem to fit better at courthouses and legislative offices where one could pray for those making decisions to choose life giving and affirming laws and judgements. I know this is a "hot" topic, but I would appreciate some comments, especially if someone can show a scriptural basis for these types of protests. |
Bible Answer: 2 questions. Is it illegal? What does God say? Bows44, God's day to you, In some places it may be against the law to gather near the clincs ... even if it is in slience. While this forum has shown that abortion is wrong, how do we let others know. What type of testimony are we if we put tape over our mouth ... and is it effective? I agree we need to sit with the women (and her man) - befriend them and give them alternatives and plant a seed. Searcher |
