The Ten Commandments

[kallipolis]

As for Abortion again from the scientific perspective it is not murder as fetuses/embryos/clusters of cells are not persons nor when abortion is done at the early stages is a person developed.

I also love how Christians try to be pro life but the god of the Bible is anything but. He has children butchered and torn out of their mothers womb. Hell he even kills living children such as the children of Egypt or David and Bathsheeba's child.

As for the Ten Commandments they are a poor source of law. It is tought crime and a symbol of patriarchhal dominance to forbid the coveting of a neighbors wife. Further more as we see in the commandment against murder it clearly did not apply against Pagans and those who did not believe in Yahweh, or non virginal women, homosexuals etc. Also the first command is against religious freedom as it prohibits the worship of any other God accept Yahweh.

Christians live under the New Covenant which invites us to love one another, as The Father loves us.

I appreciate that there are many people who will judge others while ignoring their own failings; including Christians, and those who are fond of posting on this forum with judgements that identify only Christians for their human failings.
