Mike,

I was reading your paper about

Is a Fetus Just a Thing? Posted March 9, 2012

Now I just want to clear my head on this issue have. I have three questions:

1)      Would this aborted children fall under“the vessels of dishonor?” 2)      Now I know that many of the things that happen in life are for our examples and caution, but the doctors that perform these abortions (also vessels of dishonor I assume) are they not like Paul doing it in ignorance? Therefore,“receive a few stripes” 3)      Were these doctors’“days written before there were any”What can these doctors do different still today but  take a life which GOD had predestinated to be taken in the first place, because by law“there is a time to be born and a time to die.”

I am just trying to understand and make sure I am not straying from the truth.

GOD Bless you, Mike and Sandi,

Hi G____,

We cannot go wrong when we point out what is the sum of God’s Word on any subject.
I will take your questions in order:

1)      Would this aborted children fall under“the vessels of dishonor?”
Answer:

Yes, aborted children are ‘vessels of dishonor’ simply because they too are first flesh and all flesh is  ‘corruptible flesh.

1Co 15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
 2)      Now I know that many of the things that happen in life are for our examples and caution, but the doctors that perform these abortions (also vessels of dishonor I assume) are they not like Paul doing it in ignorance? Therefore,“receive a few stripes”

Answer:

God only knows the hearts of any man and He will know whether a doctor is performing abortions in a state of deception and whether that doctor needs many or few strips. Remember though that we all live by every word and we all therefore need both many stripes and few stripes in our own appointed time.

3)      Were these doctors’“days written before there were any”What can these doctors do different still today but  take a life which GOD had predestinated to be taken in the first place, because by law“there is a time to be born and a time to die.”
Answer:

If it is true that God is “working all things after the counsel of His own will” (Eph 1:11), then it follows that anything that happens was predestined to happen. Yes, definitely, doctors are no exception to “the days that were ordained for me… were written in thy book… before there were any of them” (Psa 139:16).
I hope these verses help you give you some clarity on these questions.

God bless you.
Your brother in Christ,
Mike
