Every Christian is opposed to abortion. In fact, I’d say every person knows that abortion is murder, it’s just that some people try to justify it, because they love their sin. Of course, it’s hard to know for sure how far away from proper doctrine a Christian can go before they reveal that they aren’t really a Christian. However, if someone defends the murder of unborn babies, it seems like a really good indication that they’re lost.

Here’s a conversation I had with someone who has told me they’re a Christian. I’ve had a few weird conversations with him over the years, but this is a good indication to me that these weird conversations are the result of him being not saved.

The article doesn’t say that Costco is opposed to abortion. I just says that they’re not selling mifepristone. How is them not selling abortion drugs ramming their religious beliefs down anyone’s throats? What about all the other things they don’t sell?

Choosing to murder a baby isn’t a personal decision. No one claims we’re free to choose to murder anyone else. Everyone knows the baby is human and killing a human is murder. He’s opposed to forcing religious beliefs on people, but it’s OK to forcibly remove a baby on the mother’s whim? Is it OK to force people to do things or not?

He’s opposed to forcing religious beliefs on someone, as if choosing not to sell something is actually using violence and coercion on other people. Does he sell mifepristone? Is he forcing his religious beliefs on everyone? If an auto parts store doesn’t sell abortion drugs, are they forcing their beliefs on anyone? Maybe only pharmacies must be forced to sell every type of medication? Pharmacists must check their conscience at the door and supply anything a customer asks regardless of their morality? That’s a novel idea. And who’s going to force them to do this, even though he’s opposed to forcing people to do things?

Every law is based on religion–not necessarily Christianity, but some religion. Whatever reason you might come up with for why murder should be illegal is religious. If you say, you shouldn’t cause damage to other people, you didn’t learn that from science. The saying is, “You can’t get an ‘ought’ from and ‘is’.” That is, you can’t derive moral principles from scientific facts. You first have to choose a goal (plucked out of thin air based solely on blind faith if you reject Christ). Some might choose human flourishing or economic prosperity as ultimate goals. If you choose those goals, there may be scientific ways to test laws to see which laws are more effective in reaching those goals. However, you didn’t get the goal because science said that’s the goal you ought to choose. A Christian’s goal for laws should be to glorify God, promote justice that can only come from God and to build God’s kingdom.

So, when you deviate from Scripture, when you pick and choose what you want to believe from it, you’re going to slip into all kinds of messes and self-contradictions. Wisdom comes from the Lord and from the Bible. Believe it, even if there’s something in it you don’t like, because Jesus Christ is Lord and the Bible is true.
