“You might want to consider finding room in your heart to do so as well — you certainly derive no added power in further condemnation by implication.”

I am greatly concerned that Christians in modern America have become so “nonjudgemental” that they can no longer hear the voice of Scripture. Every harsh and uncompromising statement in the Bible is moderated or explained away by some wishy-washy theology.

“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”

This womam died will attempting to have her baby murdered.

Is murdering your child the will of God?

Condemning someone for seeking to kill their child is a no-no.

Condemning someone as "judgmental" for condemning someone seeking to kill their child, now, that's okay. Virtuous, even.

Calling a sin a "sin" is now a "sin" in and of itself, at least if the first sin involved someone's sexual organs.

We're in deep trouble as a culture, PM.

This womam [sic.] died will attempting to have her baby murdered. Is murdering your child the will of God?

I just offered an illustration to Mr. Lucky that sets up the question: can you, as a confessed believer in Christ for one's personal salvation, still go to heaven if sinning at the moment of death? Please check it out.

Your question "is murdering your child the will of God?" misses the salient point that God Himself appoints our time to die. Psalm 139:16 states: " Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (NIV)

It was the appointed time for that unborn child to die; it was also the appointed time for that mother-to-be to die. The 10 commandments proscribe against murder. God cannot contradict Himself.

Therefore, the answer to your question is: it was the will of God that both these persons die at that time. It was in the course of man's disobedience to God's law that death happened to occur during the commission of murder, thus breaking God's law. Murder is sin, and sin is engaged in by man in the disobedience to God's perfect will.
