ABORTION IS SHEDDING INNOCENT BLOOD

Abortion Is Shedding Innocent Blood

     Shedding innocent blood was strictly prohibited from the beginning: Genesis 4:8-16. This law was reiterated to Noah, Genesis 9:5-6. It was prohibited by the Law of Moses, Leviticus 17:4b; Deuteronomy 19:10-13; 21:1-9. The Prophets also condemned it: Jeremiah 7:6; 22:17; 26:15; Joel 3:19.
      Vengeance and the wrath of God are promised to those who shed innocent blood. The nation would be guilty if they did not make atonement: Leviticus 18:25; Numbers 35:33-34; Deuteronomy 19:4-13; 32:35, 43; Psalms 79:10.
    A nation fell because of innocent blood guilt, Lamentations 4:12-14. 
     The New Testament Prophets charged the Jews with this crime and told them to repent: Acts 3:14-15; 7:52; Matthew 27:25.
      The New Testament Prophets also foretold that God's wrath would come upon the guilty in order to avenge innocent blood: Matthew 23:31-36; Luke 18:7-8; Romans 12:19; Hebrews 10:30; 13:13-14; Revelation 6:10, 16-17; 17:6; 18:20; 19:2.
     The New Testament also shows that Christ has provided atonement for all who will repent and accept His sacrifice for their sin: Hebrews 9:11-28.
     Abortion is shedding innocent blood. Those who are guilty of it and do not repent will experience the wrath of God. When the laws of our nation require us to participate in abortions, our nation also becomes guilty and will experience the wrath of God except we repent.
     Repent!
