You claim to be a Christian. Do you not know what you believe about abortions?

We got that already ... the man is saying that is not what he meant.
What is stopping you from accepting that and making a comment.
You have problem. Get some help for that.
We got that already ... the man is saying that is not what he meant. - - Then maybe it's time for him to start saying what he means.


What is stopping you from accepting that and making a comment. - - Because if I make an inaccurate comment based on guesswork, you and the rest of the gang here will jump all over it and suggest my inaccuracy on this subject also extends to other areas, like (maybe) my Christian faith, and while this may provide sustenance for continued discussion, I don't feel like debating the topic.

Disclaimer: I sincerely apologize if any of my comments have given offence, that was not my intention. The "one and done" comment style reflects a structure that I work under. In addition, my left brained, linear way of thinking doesn't often lend itself to idle chat and I prefer spending my spare time with my chessboard and a good tactics book. With this in mind, I'll leave you now., and wish you all happy socializing. 🙂

I asked Christians to comment,

You asked Christians to comment - - regarding what other Christians think about a topic. Without interviewing all of them there is no way to accurately comment on this topic. If you want relevant information, you have to ask relevent questions.
Why do you seem to feel this need to be supercilious, silly and pompous?

I feel the need to be accurate. Look again at your questions:

Do Christians believe that life begins at conception?
Do Christians believe that aborting a fetus is "an offence to God"?
How is one solitary Christian supposed to answer?

If you had asked:

As a Christian, do you believe that life begins at conception?
As a Christian, believe that aborting a fetus is "an offence to God"?
These are questions a solitary Christian can answer.

I have no wish to sound like a lawyer, but I repeat: If you want relevant information, then ask relevant questions. 🙂

You say you “feel the need to be accurate”…. And then quote me as asking a series of questions which I’ve never asked.

You're STILL running away from the topic.

It's fascinating the lengths that Christians with pro-choicd views go to avoid accounting for how they square their political beliefs - on this issue - with their faith.

We've almost reached page 3 of this thread and mchill continues to be unable to bring himself to say whether he believes life begins at conception and whether he believes that aborting a fetus is "an offence to God".

Tbh, I find mchill to be generally incapable of debating his position on any point of contention.

When finding oneself on a stepping stone in the middle of a fast flowing river, for some people the safest thing to do is stand still and just look confident, don’t move, just stand very very still.

I don't know if aborting a fetus is "an offence to God" or not. I do know this however: My attempts to be honest and accurate here have been met with more than a few petty insults. I may return someday, but for now, I've had enough of this.

For all your supposed "attempts to be honest and accurate", you are still running away from the question of whether it is your belief, as a Christian, that life begins at conception.

A few questions.

Do Christians believe that life begins at conception?

If not, when?

Do Christians believe that aborting a fetus is "an offence to God"?

If a Christian aborts a fetus, should they repent before God?
🙄

Run out of things to bitch at Christians about?
