When does human life begin?





When a sperm is separate from the egg we can know for certain that life has not begun, but once the sperm enters the egg and the genetic material combines, who is in a position to say that a human life has not begun?  For me that means that early abortion is not the right thing.  Human life is precious from its outset.  Late abortions are simply killing an unborn baby.  How have we become so hardened as to do this or allow it without protest? The Christian church should be speaking out against this horror of wholesale killing of the next generation. But then the Christian church is not what it was.  It pussy foots around all difficult areas in order not to upset people.  I abhor myself for doing so little against this mass murder. It seems to me that abortion is always encouraged without a proper look at an alternative.  I understand there are many childless couples who would love to adopt, but there is a shortage of babies. The mother deciding to give birth to the child might find that after all her beautiful baby can be incorporated into her life and she can manage financially better than she realized and breathe a sigh of relief that she did not go through with abortion. But the powers that be seem intent on reducing the population and give no proper counselling to the mother. And in one part of the maternity wing parents of low fertility are given expensive treatment in the hope of having a baby and at the other end of the wing babies are aborted, most of them healthy individuals who could have expected a long life, but no, medical practitioners whose first promise is to “do no harm,” go through sometimes horrific procedures to rid a woman of “an unnecessary encumbrance.” And so another human life is tossed into a bucket, a life given by God.  But God is not mocked and mankind will reap what it sows.  Those precious lives will have to be accounted for one day.  It seems to me that Hitler might just have well have won the war because we are treating human life as he did, expendable if not reaching his standards.  So why did we bother to fight him if this is how we behave?

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
