But she's right (or half-right), and I'd have thought anyone with a Greek Christian handle would have been specially sensitive to this point. When we're bound together with God, morality becomes irrelevant, for the very reason that God isn't moral. God isn't law-abiding. God just IS, and his essence is both Truth (by virtue of his transcendant existence) and Love (by virtue of revelation, including the revelation implicit in creation's very existence). Salvation that consists of communion with God is not an ethical achievement, but existential -- a mode of being, not acting. Men are meant to be bound to God as sons, not slaves, and therefore in love, and not law.
I disagree, God is law abiding: he never violates his own nature. A Christian does not become divorced from morality. His relationship to morality changes. A Christian is no longer an enemy to morality but a loving friend, not for what morality does (it cannot save) but for what it reveals. Abortion is first and foremost a sin against God. A sin with a dreadful and instantaneous punishment making the perpetrator a victim. It's despicably inhuman, inhumane and wrong and we should treat it as such.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law...Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good...For I delight in the law of God after the inward man...Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
