“and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea…and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
That states that we are the most important form of life on Earth. Humans are created in Gods image and only God can take it away, hence
“God giveth life God taketh it away not you” (Manic Street Preachers).
God has been involved in all of out lives and he breathes his life into each one of us.
In Jeremiah 1:5 it states that God is active in the creation of us all and we all have individual gifts and talents that are unique. Also
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you”
states Jeremiah 1:5. As well as this to be against abortion the 6th commandment
“Do not kill”
plays an important role. Because God creates life only he should take life away not you. To kill a human being is against the will of God but to kill an animal is not.
Christians believe that human life is sacred, and that every human is a temple of God. This is stated in 1Corinthians 3:16-17 were it says
“Do you know that you are God’s Temple and that the Holy Spirit dwells in you? I f anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s Temple is holy, and you are that temple.
So to destroy a human being is like to destroy a temple of God. The word temple is chosen is because a temple is holy, a house of God is you please. And everyone treats the house of God with respect and God has chosen us to be his temples on Earth. Therefore we must all be treated with respect and so on and so forth. All this is why some Christians may be against the argument about Abortion and Euthanasia because of the Bible and what the prophets have said through it.
