Biden to campaign on “restoring” ROE V WADE.

Read your Bible sweetie….

The part of God killing babies in the flood and the first born of Egypt
The Old Testament records God killing multitudes of people, and some people want to believe this makes Him a murderer. The misconception that “killing” and “murder” are synonymous is partially based on the King James mistranslation of the sixth commandment, which reads, “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13). However, the word kill is a translation of the Hebrew word ratsach, which nearly always refers to intentional killing without cause. The correct rendering of this word is “murder,” and all modern translations render the command as “You shall not murder.” The Bible in Basic English best conveys its meaning: “Do not put anyone to death without cause.”

It is true that God has intentionally killed many people. (God never “accidentally” does anything.) In fact, the Bible records that He literally wiped out entire nations including women, children, cattle, etc. In addition to that, God killed every living creature upon the face of the earth with the exception of eight people and the animals on the ark (Genesis 7:21-23; 1 Peter 3:20). Does this make Him a murderer?

As already stated, to kill and to murder are different things. Murder is “the premeditated, unlawful taking of a life,” whereas killing is, more generally, “the taking of a life.” The same Law that forbids murder permits killing in self-defense (Exodus 22:2).

In order for God to commit murder, He would have to act “unlawfully.” We must recognize that God is God. “His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He” (Deuteronomy 32:4; see also Psalm 11:7; 90:9). He created man and expects obedience (Exodus 20:4-6; Exodus 23:21; 2 John 1:6). When man takes it upon himself to disobey God, he faces God’s wrath (Exodus 19:5; Exodus 23:21-22; Leviticus 26:14-18). Furthermore, “God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If [man] does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready” (Psalm 7:11-12).

Some would argue that executing the innocent is murder; thus, when God wipes out whole cities, He is committing murder. However, nowhere in Scripture can we find where God killed “innocent” people. In fact, compared to God’s holiness, there is no such thing as an “innocent” person. All have sinned (Romans 3:23), and the penalty for sin is death (Romans 6:23a). God has “just cause” to wipe us all out; the fact that He doesn’t is proof of His mercy.

When God chose to destroy all mankind in the Flood, He was totally justified in doing so: “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5).

During the conquest of Canaan, God ordered the complete destruction of entire cities and nations: “But of the cities of these peoples which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance, you shall let nothing that breathes remain alive, but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as the LORD your God has commanded you” (Deuteronomy 20:16-17).

Why did God give such a command? Israel was God’s instrument of judgment against the Canaanites, who were evil, almost beyond what we can imagine today: “Every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods” (Deuteronomy 12:31). Their utter annihilation was commanded to prevent Israel from following their ways: “Lest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their gods, and you sin against the LORD your God” (Deuteronomy 20:18; also Deuteronomy 12:29-30).

Even in the dire judgments of the Old Testament, God offered mercy. For example, when God was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, God promised Abraham that He would spare the whole city in order to save ten righteous people there. Though God did destroy those cities (ten righteous people could not be found), He saved “righteous Lot” and his family (Genesis 18:32; Genesis 19:15; 2 Peter 2:7). Later, God destroyed Jericho, but He saved Rahab the harlot and her family in response to Rahab’s faith (Joshua 6:25; Hebrews 11:31). Until the final judgment, there is always mercy to be found.
 
As many as it took, but it wasn't murder!
They also conveniently forget that there were 9 other plagues that all happened before the final one. Funny how that is, kind of like pretending it's not fair to lock up someone for a long time after committing 9 felonies in a row.
 
How is that the foundation of Christianity. Let's face reality here, you have no clue what you're talking about, you're just flinging things at the wall, hoping something will stick.

There is this thing called “The Bible”
God killed puppies and kittens along with babies

To repeat the question, How is that the foundation of Christianity? And, let's also look at what's going on. How much warning did the people get before it started raining, and how many previous plagues did the Egyptians ignore? I know you'll need to google it, so take your time.
 

It is a states rights issue. Wasnt that determined By SCOTUS? Why should California care what Texas does?

Blue states now have WAY LAXER abortion laws.
Makes sense to me. Let's make sure we can kill babies instead of decreasing prices.

Because women in Texas need access to health care at home and shouldn't have to travel to another state for care, especially emergency care for pregnancy complications.
 
Biden is doing exactly what I said Dems would do, run on ABORTING BABIES and BRIBING people to vote Dem with $10,000-$40,000 checks from the government 'forgiving' their student loans.

Wait. Why is Biden sending checks to people? If he is forgiving their debt, shouldn't he be sending those checks to the colleges owed? And if he is repaying them money they already paid into their debt, isn't he really giving them free college?

Either way, how is that fair to the rest, and why should anyone ever repay a school loan ever again?
 
Did you think Democrats were not going to run on abortion?

Do you know any women who got knocked up unwantingly who can't get an abortion? I have been hearing about abortion rights since the 1960s--- what kind of stupid does it take to think that if democrats haven't fixed it by now that they ever will?

And do you think abortion is anywhere near as important as food, rent, housing, fuel and energy? Or a secure border, low crime, and a stable world place?

Maybe women worried about abortion should just get a hysterectomy.

Might as well, dems already use the constitution as toilet paper, might as well just light it on fire while we’re at it.

So far Biden has purchased $138 BILLION worth of Dem votes while ignoring the SCOTUS ruling to stop. How much money does the GOP have for 2024, not $138 billion I think.
Ain’t that funny, Biden is ignoring scotus, and the dems wipe their ass with the cotus…yet somehow they have just enough love for it to want to hang trump….

lol, that’s fucked up.
