“37. How does a Protestant know for sure what God thinks about moral issues such as abortion, masturbation, contraceptives, eugenics, euthanasia, etc.?”
For many of those, they’re not specifically mentioned, so we have to go on the things that are mentioned.
Abortion is murder. Murder is condemned. Therefor, abortion is wrong
Masturbation. Don’t personally see this condemned, so I think the jury is out.
Contraceptives. I don’t see a problem with this either. You are not being fruitful might be the only condemnation, but the sperm and egg individually are not human, and therefor doing anything to them (eg spermicide) is not murder.
Eugenics, We are to love our fellow man, for all men are in the image of God. Eugenics is an insult to God’s creation.
Euthanasia, all hinges on whether you think mercy killing is murder or not. Unfortunately, we don’t receive enough guidance here. Jury still out.
According to Exodus 21:22-25, abortion is not murder.
A problem with contraception. It is killing or preventing the formation of a baby. It is murder too.
**Euthanasia, all hinges on whether you think mercy killing is murder or not. **
Any murder is a sin, even euthanasia. Let the people die naturally.
Pro _ Life = from the womb to the tomb.
Better look up the sin of Onan, further many contraceptives act as abortifacients. I will let you look that up on your own I don't want to be accused of sending you to Catholic sites.
Your response gives the idea that God no longer guides us in making moral decisions. How can that be?
