Pro 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: (17) A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, (18) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, (19) A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
I was listening to a message by Chuck Missler on the topic of the seven things God hates. People are always talking about God’s love but not about the things He hates. God is not only a God of love, but also of judgment. Today’s church focuses mainly on God’s love but the preachers fail to teach on His judgment. That is one of the reasons why we don’t see much repentance.
I want to focus on one of the things God hates, and that is the shedding of innocent blood. We must first determine what that means. All answers to man’s questions can be found in the Scriptures!
The verses below reveal what is considered to be “life.”
Lev 17:11a For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
Lev 17:14a For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof:
The heart of man is what pumps blood to the entire body. It is at this spot that life begins and ends. When the heart begins to pump blood, there is life. When the heart ceases to pump blood, there is no life. A fetus’s heart begins to pump blood around three weeks after fertilization. Therefore, it does not take a doctor to teach a Christian that at this stage the fetus is a living human being. The Bible answers this for us. The world does not believe this, however. They see a clump of cells: anything to remove the guilt of abortion. But God says differently.
Deu 19:10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
Psa 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Isa 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
Innocent blood refers to someone who is not able to defend himself enough to be judged innocent. This includes a baby inside the womb. The devil has succeeded in convincing the world that if you look at an unborn baby as a clump of cells, you are not killing. Furthermore, if you can kill an unborn baby at any time, you do not have to be held accountable for having sex outside of marriage.
2 Kings 17:17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
This verse may be in the Old Testament, but it is one of the things which God hates. God never changes and what He hated in the Old Testament, He hates still!
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
God will judge those who passed their children through the fire of Molech (or Moloch). Do you notice anything about this image? The same evil plot formed by Satan is alive and well today. Granted, people aren’t throwing their children into a fire because they would have to throw in the mother as well. But evil-minded men have managed to devise a method of removing a precious life from the mother’s womb and killing it. The end result is the same as it was in the time of sacrifices to Molech!
(Lev 18:21) And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
(Lev 20:2) Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
(Lev 20:3) And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
(Lev 20:4) And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
(Lev 20:5) Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
(2Ki 23:10) And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.(Jer 32:35) And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
All sin can be forgiven, even abortion. But friend, if you have read through this devotional up to this point, then you were meant to read it. But if you disregard the warnings, the devil will convince your mind to call this rubbish. Once you reach that point of no return, there is no hope for you. Don’t reach that point! Confess your sin and repent. Come to the Lord Jesus who provides peace. Click on this link and read how you, too, can be born again and forgiven of all of your sins! I am praying for anyone who has had an abortion to read through this post and receive forgiveness!
