Murder and Abortion

Suicide and murder would be someone ending their own or another's life prematurely. How I should have worded it was God gives us life. and appoints a time for our passing. No where in scripture does God okay abortion or murder, as King of all creation He sets all boundaries.

What does it mean to "appoint a time for our passing"?

I think what KellyJay is trying to say is that God can do as He wishes, including death, but we cannot do the same.

Ah, the might makes right opinion on morality. Fueled the humans who committed the inquisition, the witch burnings and the holocaust and etc and etc.

Meaning none of us are slotted to live forever here there is a time limit.

One reasonable question and within three posts you have to resort to insults.

What do you mean by insults?

We are we and God is not.

What does that have to do with (the morality of) murder and/or abortion?

When God takes a life, it was God who gave it, when God gives a life and we take it that
is not the same thing. We did not form life in the mother's womb, neither did we give life
all that was and is required for it to be here. God gives us all we need for life, we simply
walk it out, so taking another's life when we and they are in God's Kingdom without justice
and righteousness, we break one of God's great commands.

It's a formulation which seems to have no moral substance, in so far as there is no moral lesson that humans can draw from it.

Which of God's great commands is that? Does this command appear somewhere in the Bible?

Might makes right. Also, a creator has the right to destroy its creations. So if you build a house, you have the right to burn it down. If other people live there now, tough.

Love each other, difficult to say you are doing that while ripping a body apart.

It's called loving someone to death. 😵
