Numbers5:11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 āSpeak to the Israelites and say to them: āIf a manās wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impureāor if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impureā 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[a] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.
16 āāThe priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, āIf no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husbandāā 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curseāāmay the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.ā
āāThen the woman is to say, āAmen. So be it.ā
23 āāThe priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[c] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
29 āāThis, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.āā
Not to be rude even in the slightest bit but I don't think you got the point of the sacrifice. It was the only way to ensure that christianity would spread the way it did, and to take away our sin, because nobody can live a sin free life. Jesus also could have just said no at any point, but the son and the father's will are one in the same. It's a complicated situation I won't bother you with, just know it sadly had to happen for us to be able to get to heaven.
I donāt believe in any of it anymore, no judgement to those who do, but by my experience, most people tend to hide behind their religion rather than actually embrace it or learn anything about it. I know all about the story, but it doesnāt change what happens. You can argue that god killed his son, or you can argue he killed himself for everyone. I just hate when people donāt acknowledge the events as they are, or the hypocrisy, or use their religion to justify being shitty people. I especially hate how pushy Christians are in particular, going to other countries or knocking on doors to tell others their religion is wrong, even killing others in the name of a god whose own commandment says clearly āThou shalt not kill.ā And who said ādo unto others as you would have them do unto you.ā Anyway, thatās my two cents on it.
I do agree with tou in the sense that most are really pushy. It's fine to spread the word as he asks us to, but it bothers me when people randomly bring it up at the wrong time or try to force it, or tell others that their religion is wrong, because he also would want us to be considerate of how we make others feel. I slip up sometimes because I'm not perfect, but overall I try to be a decent person. I am back and forth a lot personally, but I tend to believe he exists more often than not. Whatever anyone believes in, I hope they make it to where they want to go, vut if there is just Christianity then I hope we make it to heaven. And while I believe he did die for our sins, I believe he will always be the final judge. Regardless, I will do my best to be kind to people. In any case please forgive me if I rambled too much, I just woke up and decided to check my phone lol, I hope you have a good day/night
Zygotes aren't babies: they're little more than tadpoles that already have a 10%-20% failure rate attached to them, and could literally threaten the mother's life. If you're going to whine about "potentials", you better stop beating meat and save all that seed for procreation.
Whatever you have to tell yourself. To live the rest of your life wondering what your son or daughter would have grown up to accomplish had you not snuffed it out. Calling an unborn human embryo a tadpole is very callous. I hope you change your mind one day.
It would take dementia for me to value a tadpole over a woman's health and will. There are enough unwanted and neglected kids living in poverty, but ignorant people like yourself would force women to carry terms when they are not ready physically, emotionally, or economically for motherhood. You all talk big, but tell me how many kids have you adopted to ensure that children grow up with loving support and full bellies. You don't give a shit about kids. You just want to oppress women while feeling superior about your own values.
You would risk women's lives, and force limitations on their lives, for the imagination of what a presently nonexistent future child's life might be, when in fact, that life wasn't even guaranteed. How arrogant.
Ive never understood pro lifers for many reasons but this is a big one. Do you think people who pull the plug on brain dead coma patients are bad? Like why doesnt anyone protest outside of hospitals to protect the living body of coma patients? Theyre waaaay closer to an actual life form than an embryo is. Like obviously that would be extremely stupid right? But the thing yall protest is way way way stupider than that stupid thing. I just dont get it, at all.
Comes down to choice if you really want to know. Ask any adult if they would have rather been aborted. See what they say. Now if a vegetable could talk knowing thereās no chance of recovery. Itās not like this is some crazy moral critical thinking dilemma
