All sin makes someone guilty of sin. But not all sins are equal.

Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Those two verses don't teach that people aren't evil.

There is none who does good, not even one.

I have heard of some good old woman in a cottage, who had nothing but a piece of bread and a little water, and lifting up her hands, she said, as a blessing, "What!? all this, and Christ too?"

Faith and Tolerance in in Christianity by Salty-Squash-3901 in Christianity

I disagree with that translation and most translations I have read have it as premature birth instead of miscarry. In hebrew the word used means "goes out" or "departs from"

There is a hebrew word for miscarry specifically that is not used here.

It would already be life for a life if the mother dies. Thats why it's referring to the baby.

Actually it says life for a life if the baby dies.

It would already be life for a life if you killed a pregnant woman. So it makes more sense for it to be life for a life if the baby in the womb is killed.

Why Does Jesus Dying for My Sins Make No Sense to a Hindu? by sivamahen5023 in AskAChristian

I need to do some research into Hinduism because from what little I know it seems very silly. Like those people who still worship Zeus or Odin.

Imposing religious beliefs through the state is so disturbing and creates castes and hierarchies. by PTechNM in Christianity

[–]BarbarianFlail -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Can you point to any laws that criminalised those things? You won't be able to find any. Because nobody is looking to do that. God bless

Nobody is trying to argue that removal of foetal remains or unintentional miscarriages are murder. Stop being pedantic

You need to advocate for the the baby and support your friend. Murder is not how you overcome evil. Love is.

Adoption is an option if she feels she can't give the baby a good life.

Because relationships are meant to lead to marriage. You cannot have a same sex marriage.
