How do those verses say anything about aborting a child. I'm still waiting on the verse about aborting a child.

Consider how Jesus referred to salt. Compare and contrast the story with the one in Judges chapter 19 where the man cut up the woman into twelve pieces. All of the stories are interrelated and must be considered together to fully understand them.(February 3, 2017 at 10:50 pm)bennyboy Wrote: They were told by God not to look back, and she looked back.

Here's a thing. The human body contains many salts, however presumably the bible passage here is referring to table salt, sodium chloride. If Lot's wife was reduced to salt, in the sense that her salt content was extracted Star Trek style, what would be left is enough salt to make a cube almost five centimetres per side - about seven tablespoons. Hardly a pillar.
Maybe, instead of her natural salt content being extracted, her bodymass was literally converted into sodium chloride? Well, even if that were possible - this is a vengeful god, after all - the energy released in the process would be ridiculous. I'm not a physicist, but even I have a healthy respect for e=mc²; we're talking Hiroshima times about a million here. How did our 'heroes' survive the blast, and how come the bible isn't telling that story? That would kick arse!
Oh wait - it's going to be midichlorians again, isn't it?
