I feel like how I responded to the question about killing a child may not have included enough information, or adequately reflected the truth of my belief. The question and response is more complex than can be answered in a forum. While its true that if God told me to I would, it wouldn't be without confirmation that the message was actually from God. I would honestly probably seek guidance from pastors or respected members of the church, and spend time grieving the command before fulfilling. I may even see a Christian therapist and doctor to be sure it wasn't a mental health episode. It would NOT be an easy thing.
You are all very opposed to killing children- Good! I believe that unborn babies are human beings from the moment of conception. That is why I am against abortion. I value human life- even the lives of unborn babies. I also understand that there are some extenuating circumstances such as the mothers health, rape, etc, and it is not my place to speak on those issues; they are very tough, though theologically I still believe that those babies have a right to life. Back to my point- killing a child is not something I take lightly. I hope I would obey God, no matter what He commands, but it would be very difficult.
I vote for more dog ones!
I absolutely love your dog one. Do you know what breed it is? It looks like an australian cattle dog- my favorite!
