This is one of my threads on an Atheist Forum, I guess it was about a couple of months or so ago.
There were many pro-abortion folks talking on the subject and I decided to address it.
This thread generated over 13,000 views and almost 700 posts in a very short period of time.
Needless to say, I had my hands full for a while.
During WW!! the Nazi's were held responsible for the cold blooded murder of 6 million Jews. The soldiers that carried out this act in one form or another, claimed they could not be held responsible for this act because they they were carrying out orders from their superiors.
If there is no God and no Divine Decree from God, then these soldiers are correct. There would be no Divine Decree from a higher power that sets aside the opinions of man. Their charges of murder are based on opinion, one opinion vs another opinion.
They were found guilty not based on opinion by man, but by the Divine Degree of God found in the 5th commandment of the Ten Commandments, "thou shall not kill/murder." The opinion of man was set aside with the Divine Decree of a higher power recognized.
If there is no God, then these murderers and all murderers cannot be brought to justice based on man's opinion vs mans' opinion. Basically, with no Divine Decree, what makes your opinion superior to my opinion? This would mean that the Law of the land would be based on the personal opinion of each person. And what would that world look like? I wouldn't want to be a part of it!
The same holds true in the abortion argument. If there is no God and no Divine Decree, then the woman who says she has the right to control her body and terminate her pregnancy if she so desires, she is correct. Who can argue that their opinion is superior to hers?
If there is no God and no Divine Decree, then the person who says, no, you don't have the right to terminate your pregnancy, is also correct. Who can argue that their opinion is superior to theirs.
If there is a God and a Divine Decree, then both of these opinions are set aside and the higher power takes authority on the matter.
If there is a God and a Divine Decree, then this higher power has spoken on the matter in Exodus 21:22-25. This higher power has said that if a woman's pregnancy is terminated by someone and it's an accident, the person responsible will pay restitution to that woman and here family. If a person intentionally causes the death in her womb, then that person is to be put to death.
If there is a God and a Divine Decree, then this higher power has placed cold blooded murder and the willful act of the destroying of a pregnancy in the same category. Both can be punished by death as capitol crimes.
So what do you think? Are we living in a world of law based on the opinion of man, or a world with Divine Decree from a higher power? My answer is both, as some can clearly see the Divine Decree and see it in operation, others will deny the Divine Decree and live their lives based on the Law of their own opinion's which can also be clearly seen.
