Leviticus 27:6 and Numbers 3:15-16 make it clear that God has no problem with the death of a fetus if the fetus is less than one month old. Hosea 13:16 even has God ordering pregnant women to be “ripped up.” The Bible has some wiggle room when it comes to abortion, yet somehow the religion of the Bible, Christianity, holds that abortion is forbidden. Maybe the problem is Exodus 21:22-23, when God contradicts Himself and says if an unborn fetus is accidentally killed then the offending party should be punished. Jonathan and David have a homosexual relationship in 1 and 2 Samuel, and David is favored by God. The Bible weighs in favorably when it comes to homosexuality, yet somehow the religion of the Bible, Christianity, holds that homosexuality is forbidden. Maybe the problem is Leviticus 20:13, when God contradicts Himself and says homosexuals are to be murdered. Fortunately, there are no contradictions in the Bible when it comes to slavery. The Bible is always and only in favor of slavery – no where in the Bible is slavery spoken against, outlawed, forbidden, condemned, or otherwise presented in a negative light. Christians should concede that God contradicts Himself regarding abortion and homosexuality. They should fight for their clearly stated, God-given right to own slaves.
