What Does Bible Really Say?

Thou Shall Not Kill vs Thou Shall Not Murder…..What is Difference? _____________________________________

Ratsakh- Refers to killing that is unlawful or forbidden. It is NOT used for killing of animals or for killing war.
Best translation would be M_____ instead of King James Version K___
This Commandment lifts life to the highest level…Sacred
Life is God’s gift…ONCE IT IS LOST; IT IS GONE…Can’t Be Restored…Even Primitive Civilizations Prohibit Murder
Moral Law…Only God Has Sovereignty Over Life (Samuel 2:6)

Don’t Take the Sanctity of Life Overboard: Example- Hinduism

“Delhi's 13 mil ppl, share the streets with an estimated 40,000 cows -- leading to some complaints”…DUH!!!!!!!!
God Created A Hierarchy aka Don’t Feel Guilty for the Bacon & Sausage………Gen 1:28

Now To the Touchy Stuff

Suicide
Hamlet’s Famous Words: To Be or N__ __ __?
It’s my life right? Can’t I just do whatever I want with it? What do you think? ______________________________________
-Something is only yours if you PAID for it, or it was given to you.
-Read 1 Cor 6:19 (You Are NOT Your Own)
-But I am Free……Yep, free to be a SLAVE for Christ….Look At Paul, Jesus, John, James…All Gave Loyal Service

Problem w/ Suicide…It Takes the Authority Away From God

Suicide Is Not A Human Right….Taking Your Life Is God’s Right
Abortion
What is the issue? What lives in the mother? Is it human or is it part of the mother?
Which Does Our Culture Prefer? ____________ Why?_____________ What Does God DEMAND?____________

-What do you think? ______________. Before we make these jumps, must know MAIN reason for abortion
-WE CANNOT COMPROMISE THE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE THAT UNBORN CHILDREN ARE
CHILDREN AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS PPL….THIS WILL BE A PROBLEM YOUR GENERATION
HAS TO FIGHT & FIGHT HARD
-With One Exception
Case where continued existence of the child threatens the physical life of mother. (Ectopic Pregnancy)
Dr. must remove the child (destroy it) to preserve the woman’s life…Cant save life…Seen as self defense
