His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;\u00a0\u00a0he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.\u00a0\u00a0The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.\u00a0\u00a0He says in his heart, \u201cGod has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Proverbs 1:11<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0If they say, \u201cCome with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason;<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Proverbs 1:18<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Isaiah 26:21<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0For behold, the LORD is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>1 Timothy 1:9<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>1 John 3:14-15<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death.\u00a0\u00a0Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.<\/p>\n Jesus carefully explained the heart of this commandment. He showed that it also prohibits us from\u00a0hating\u00a0someone else\u00a0 <\/span>because we can wish someone dead in our hearts, yet never have the nerve to commit the deed. Someone may not kill from a lack of courage or initiative, yet his or her heart is filled with hatred. (Guzik)<\/p>\n When God \u201cset a mark upon Cain\u201d (Genesis 4:15<\/span><\/a>), He marked thereby His abhorrence of the murderer. The \u201cseven precepts of Noah\u201d included one which distinctly forbade the taking of human life (Genesis 9:6<\/span><\/a>). In all countries and among all peoples, a natural instinct or an unwritten tradition placed murder among the worst of crimes, and made its penalty death. The Mosaic legislation on the point was differenced from others principally by the care it took to distinguish between actual murder, manslaughter (Exodus 21:13<\/span><\/a>), death by misadventure (Numbers 35:23<\/span><\/a>), and justifiable homicide (Exodus 22:2<\/span><\/a>). Before, however, it made these distinctions, the great principle of the sanctity of human life required to be broadly laid down; and so the law was given in the widest possible terms\u2014\u201cThou shalt not kill.\u201d Exceptions were reserved till later. (Ellicott)<\/p>\n Thou shalt not do any thing hurtful to the health or life of thy own body, or any other\u2019s. This doth not forbid our necessary defence, or the magistrates putting offenders to death; but it forbids all malice and hatred to any, for\u00a0he that hateth his brother is a murderer,\u00a0<\/i>and all revenge arising therefrom; likewise anger, and hurt said or done, or aimed to be done, in a passion; of this our Saviour expounds this commandment,\u00a0Matthew 5:22<\/span><\/a>. (Benson)<\/p>\n The sixth commandment requires that we regard the life and the safety of others as we do our own. Magistrates and their officers, and witnesses testifying the truth, do not break this command. Self-defence is lawful; but much which is not deemed murder by the laws of man, is such before God. Furious passions, stirred up by anger or by drunkenness, are no excuse: more guilty is murder in duels, which is a horrible effect of a haughty, revengeful spirit. All fighting, whether for wages, for renown, or out of anger and malice, breaks this command, and the bloodshed therein is murder. To tempt men to vice and crimes which shorten life, may be included. Misconduct, such as may break the heart, or shorten the lives of parents, wives, or other relatives, is a breach of this command. This command forbids all envy, malice, hatred, or anger, all provoking or insulting language. The destruction of our own lives is here forbidden. This commandment requires a spirit of kindness, longsuffering, and forgiveness. (Henry)<\/p>\n Thou shalt not kill. Not meaning any sort of creatures, for there are some to be killed for the food and nourishment of men, and others for their safety and preservation; but rational creatures, men, women, and children, any of the human species, of every age, sex, condition, or nation; no man has a right to take away his own life, or the life of another; by this law is forbidden suicide, or self-murder, parricide or murder of parents, homicide or the murder of man; yet killing of men in lawful war, or in defence of a man’s self, when his own life is in danger, or the execution of malefactors by the hands or order of the civil magistrate, and killing a man at unawares, without any design, are not to be reckoned breaches of this law; but taking away the life of another through private malice and revenge, and even stabbing of a man’s character, and so all things tending to or designed for the taking away of life, and all plots, conspiracies, and contrivances for that purpose, even all sinful anger, undue wrath and envy, rancour of all mind, all malice in thought, word, or deed, are contrary to this precept, see\u00a0Matthew 5:21<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and which, on the other hand, requires that men should do all they can for the ease, peace, and preservation of the lives of men. (Gill)<\/p>\n You know the sings of the times when looting, destruction of property, violent demonstrations, killing, wounding, etc are not only tolerated but condoned, and when peaceful protests and public prayer for the unborn are deemed unacceptable, breaking the law, and deserving punishment. Abortion is murder. There is no love, mercy, kindness, or preservation of innocent life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The professionals at\u00a0Planned Parenthood<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will work to get you the services you need, whether or not you have insurance.\u00a0Our staff can also let you know if there is financial assistance available for your abortion and other related costs, like transportation.\u00a0If there’s no Planned Parenthood health center near you,\u00a0AbortionFinder.org<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can help you find a trustworthy abortion provider.<\/p>\n Abortion funds\u00a0may be available to help you pay for your abortion. Abortion funds may also offer help with transportation, lodging, childcare, and other resources you may need to access abortion.\u00a0The\u00a0National Network of Abortion Funds\u00a0<\/span><\/a>connects people with organizations that can provide financial and logistical support for people getting abortions in the U.S.<\/p>\n Just because the culture makes murder of the unborn legal does not mean it is in the eyes of God. We think it very wrong to kill born babies in ritual sacrifice. This is recognized by everyone of sound mind, and yet, the unborn are legally sacrificed day after day. Globally, over 70 million are killed each year, and over 500,000 in the US. In the US there are ~198 abortions per 1,000 live births. Changing the name from murder of the unborn to \u201cWomen\u2019s Choice\u201d or \u201cRights\u201d to make it legal does not make it right in God\u2019s eyes. It is murder of the innocent unborn baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Exodus 20:13\u00a0\u00a0\u201cYou shall not murder. \u00a0Leviticus 24:21\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. \u00a0Deuteronomy 19:13\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that it may be well with you. \u00a0Psalms 10:8-11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0He sits in … Continue reading “43.b. “Wilderness” – 7.i.
