THE FACTS OF LIFE

  • Origins of life
  • All life is sacred and of high value
  • Where does life come from?
  • When does life begin?

 

TWO VIEWS

  • Secular world view –   Evolution (happenstance)
    • Evolutionary chain of events, accident

 

  • Biblical world view –   Created by God
    • Here on purpose; for a purpose and by divine design

 

  • God’s Word is the final authority (Romans 3:4)
  • God’s Word is truth (John 17:17 John 8:31-32)

 

A. OUR CONSTITUTION (Founding Documents)

 

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

 

B. ABORTION LAWS OF 1973

 

  • We were promised … rare, safe and legal

 

  • Arguments:   It’s not a human (all genocide begins by dehumanizing victims)
    • A woman’s right to her own body
      • Fetus?
      • Tissue mass

 

C. GOD’S WORD

 

  • Psalm 139:13-16 (NLT) (TPT)
    • God forms us in our mother’s womb
    • We are wonderfully and fearfully created

 

  • Jeremiah 1:4-5 – Jeremiah
    • God knew him & before in the womb
    • God called & appointed him in the womb

 

  • Galatians 1:15-16 (NKJ AMP) – Apostle Paul

 

  • Luke 1:39-44 NLT (Dr. Luke) – John the Baptist
    • Leaped within Elizabeth’s womb
    • Heard Mary’s voice
    • Jumped for joy! (Emotions) – Vs. 43-44

 

  • Luke 1:13-15 (KJV)
    • John was filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb?
    • Fetes? Tissue mass?

 

Medical Science and Technology confirms God’s Word!
