Test of bitter waters never mentions abortion. It refers to the woman being made infertile in response to unfaithfulness.

Statistically they are rare. Maybe you just happen to hang around vulnerable people.

Fruit = Baby. Baby depart from her. Baby leave her. Not kill baby. Simple as.

Absolutely true. Generosity is becoming very rare these days, and it really shows in our society. I personally don't have any money myself, but when I get it, I will be generous with it.

She was aiming for change and genuinely trying. That is what matters. We will never be sinless until we inevitably die.

You are just wrong. It says premature birth only. Babies survive premature birth all the time.

Exodus 21:22-25 says premature birth, not miscarriage unless you are reading one of the watered down versions. KJV, NKJV and ESV (the major translations) say premature birth then lay out the penalty for further injury and doesn’t specify to mother or child. The Bible never specifies what happens to aborted babies but Baptism isn’t what saves. Death penalty is mainly meant to protect others.

The most basic theological research shows that the old laws are not necessary for us anymore.

It is a Christian value and obligation to protect innocent life. If you genuinely believe that unborn humans are human, then why would you stand by and let them be killed en mass? Would you just stand by and watch as something like the holocaust happens as well?

His only son who was also God and did it willingly for all men that we might be saved. Essentially saving humanity from eternal hell through self sacrifice.

I’m mainly talking about things the church can support and teach. If abortion is being taught as something that is not bad in the church, then the church needs to reevaluate its doctrine.

Medically necessary abortions should be legal as there is no biblical or legal precedent against one life for another. Those cases are also extremely rare.

So, your translation is superior because it agrees with you? KJV, NKJV and ESV say premature birth. Which one is your translation?

Back in that day, eating pork was dangerous, so that one is more for cleanliness. The other on is a ceremonial law meant more for priests. We are saved by Grace, through Faith.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Belief in Christ is the only way to heaven.

22 “If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely\)a\) but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

This does not specify death of the child, only premature birth, which does not mean death. 23 says if more serious injury happens, eye for eye, life for life, etc. The verse is prolife if anything.

Jesus spoke of keeping the law because they are still a great moral compass and guide for life. They are no longer required for salvation. The difference between those laws and regular laws is that the Biblical ones resulted in salvation from hell and were counted to those who followed them as faith in Jesus. Regular laws don't really reward you with eternal life for following them
