Does the woman want the baby?

If the woman wants a baby (and most of them do) then that which is conceived is a baby from the time of conception.

If the woman does not want a baby then that which is conceived is not a baby; it is only part of her body which is hers alone to do with what she wants.

This subjective way of determining truth means that someone is lying or deceived. It may be the same woman at two different times.

If women had no inherent mother instinct, but only a dead reasoning ability, they might be able to get away with this lie to themselves. But God did not make them that way.

In addition to having millions of babies in Heaven we have millions of women living in awful guilt which they are not able to justify.

There is hope!
The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, but also
for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who
raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins
and was raised to life for our justification. Therefore, since we have
been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we
now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. (Romans
4:23-5:2)
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless,
Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6)

What happens to a woman who has had an abortion because she belived the lies of doctors and the world telling her "it is only tissue" not a baby yet. She had the abortion and is dreadfully sorry! Repentant never to do it again, but still after 25 years deeply grieved.

There are two answers to your question.

If you are a Christian the answer is in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

God is faithful; He forgives everything. Thank God for His forgiveness and do not live in remorse. You are commanded to rejoice.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" Philippians 4:4

You cannot rejoice and live in remorse. Your sins are forgiven! Rejoice.

If you are not a Christian then you need to receive Christ.

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—." John 1:12

"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." 2 Corinthians 7:10

Notice that sorrow is not a virtue. Sorrow does not pay for anything. There are two kinds of sorrow, Godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. Godly sorrow leads to salvation and leaves no regret. That is complete salvation.

Please e-mail me at ccm@moscow.com so I may send you some scriptures on how to know you are saved.

I want to hear from you again. Are you married? Do you have children?

Your friend,

Jim Wilson

Ripe for Harvest: Prepared to Give an Answer

As you read through the book of Acts, look at every conversion, and see what happened right before it: what was said, who said it. The situations are the same today.     A long time ago, my duty in the Officer’s Christian Fellowship was the east coast of the United States. I went to an officer’s office at Fort Lee, VA, and stayed overnight, then I went on to Norfolk and Fort Bragg.    Forty years later, I was no longer on the staff of OCF, but I had to go to Denver. While I was in Denver, I checked in at the OCF offices. There was the same Air Force officer I had met in Fort Lee, retired now, a colonel. I had stayed in his house when he was a first lieutenant. He asked me, “Do you know what happened when you stayed overnight?” I said, “No, I just remember staying in your home.” He said, “You led the next-door neighbor to Christ.” I had no memory of it.    Ten years after that, I was speaking at a banquet at the Hotel Salisbury, and who was th...

Why Is Obedience So Hard?

There are several reasons why obedience seems hard. I will comment on some of them and then speak positively on how obedience is easy. We think: 1) Obedience is an infringement on freedom. Since we are free in Christ, and obedience is somehow contrary to that freedom, we conclude that obedience is not good. Yet we know it is good. Thus, we become confused about obedience and are not single-minded. 2) Obedience is works. We who have been justified by grace through faith are opposed to works; therefore, we are opposed to obedience. 3) We have tried to obey and have failed—frequently. Therefore, the only solution is to disobey and later confess to receive forgiveness. It is easier to be forgiven by grace than to obey by effort. 4) We confuse obedience to men with obedience to God. Although these are sometimes one and the same (see Romans 13, 1 Peter 2-3, Ephesians 5-6, Colossians 3, and Titus 2), sometimes they are not the same (see Colossians 2:20-23, Mark 7, 1 Timothy 4:1-5, a...

Marriage Counseling, Part 2

Dear Friend, This letter is long overdue. It has been in my head for months. First, I think you know that I both love you and like you and respect you. If you do not know that, please take my word for it. You know that I am willing to be confronted without dissimulation. In the many years we have known each other, I have assumed you were a Christian. I do not have to know absolutely (God knows those who are His). You have had an interest and an education in Christianity. Even if you were not, or are not, a Christian, this does not affect my love, like, or respect for you. The last few times we have been together, you have assured me that any adultery was in the past and that you were ready to get right with the church and with your family and that you had repented toward God. You assured me that you loved your wife and your children and you were committed to them. I recognize that Christians can (and sometimes do) sin repeatedly. I also understand that it is possible for Chri...
