Evil with evil? That's just no!

Alrighty then. On the issue of abortion, it is a sin before God. And God himself says "Thou shall not kill."

Some may ask "What if she was raped?"

Here's a simple answer to this:

Being defiled (which is another word for rape mind you) is not good at all. No no. It's awful and animalistic. And God Himself is against rape. And believe or not God's Word does not approve of such beastly act: 


When the Bible mentions the beastly act, it is depicted as a gross violation of God’s design for the treatment of the human body (Genesis 34). The Bible CLEARLY condemns rape whenever it is mentioned. An example of that is, a particular passage in the laws given to the nation of Israel before entering the Promised Land under Joshua’s leadership. This passage (which is Deuteronomy 22:13-29) spoke directly against forcing a woman into a sexual encounter against her will, or what we now know today as rape.
Anybody who thinks that God approves of such act, better think twice and read His Word, because He clearly forbids that.
And also anybody who thinks that this beastly act is okay, has got issues. And all of us would most definitely agree that no girl/woman should have to go through that.

However, resolving the issue of rape with abortion (murder)? That's wrong. That's paying back evil with evil.

Paying back a horrible and sinful act with another sin (which is abortion) will only worsen it.

A woman being raped is not funny nor even okay at all, it fact, it is awful and downright wrong, but it is most certainly not the baby's fault. Why? Because the baby is innocent. By aborting a child out of rape, the woman is not only committing murder in the eyes of God, she is also blaming the unborn child for the hideous act committed against her.

The woman would have to do what Jesus would do: forgive.

It may not be easy for her to forgive a rapist, but it is worth it. If she keeps on holding grudges against the rapist, it's not doing her any good. And as I'm telling you now, there are people who are in Hell because they didn't forgive. And The Bible speaks of the importance of forgiveness:

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." ~ Ephesians 4:32

"And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." ~ Mark 11:25

"For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." ~ Matthew 6:14-15

And finally, ALL children matter to God, even those who are born out of rape. They are not products in which people think they can use and dump. Even if the fetus is one day old, it is still a human being living inside the womb.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." ~ Psalm 127:3

And on the issue of forgiveness, you may ask "So you're saying that what the rapists did is okay?".
No. And this is where a lot of people seem to get it wrong. No one should have to go through that horrible experience; those rapists have no right whatsoever to do put their hands on those girls/women, and do what they did. Hating their actions is one thing, but hating them as individuals, that is a totally different story. God hates sin, rape and abortion included, but He doesn't hate the sinner because He sent His one and Only Son Jesus to die for every single person on earth so that they can be set free from the bondage of sin. I mean, if Jesus was able to forgive those to flogged Him, slapped Him, spat at Him, accused Him, and even nailed Him at the cross, then shouldn't we forgive those who have trespassed against us?

Another thing you may ask "Does it mean that a raped girl/woman cannot be saved?". The answer is no. Cos she can.

Why? Because salvation is for everyone. And when I mean everyone, that includes all the girls and women who are defiled, and the rapists as well.

Jesus died for our sins and the sins of the whole world, even for the rapists, and those who are defiled. If you simply accept Him as your Lord and Savior today, He will forgive you.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." ~ 1 John 1:9

To all who are reading this and have been through this situation at any point in your life (even Christians), let me tell you that you are not alone.

What happened you was (and is still is) awful, its not your fault in any way, and those rapists have no right whatsoever to put their hands on you, and do what they did to you. Its wrong, its immoral, its sinful, and its an abomination; but that doesn't mean its all over for you. If anyone tells you "It happened, its over for you." that is a lie of the devil himself. Let me tell you dear reader that there is still hope for you and that is Jesus, who loves you and He died for you. Accept Him as your Lord and Savior.

God certainly didn't write off Tamar because she was raped, and He certainly does not write you off because of the dreadful act committed against you.

But that doesn't mean that aborting the baby is okay, because abortion is murder. And children are one of the greatest gifts from God. And all children matter to Him, even those who are born out of rape.

Not to say that rape is okay (because it is obviously isn't), but that when trying to resolve this really frightening situation by yourselves, its not going to turn out good. At all. Having said this, leave the situation to God. He has His own way of handling this situation, even the rapists.

"Can this horrendous situation be overcome?" you may ask? The answer is yes, it can. And I strongly believe that with God's help you can overcome this thing. And you know what? One of the differences between God and man, is that man may abandon you and desert you, but God doesn't. He doesn't say "Oh you're raped, you can't be saved." No no. Since God has the power to heal and to save, He is more than able to help you get through this hard road, if you can open up the door of your heart, and let Him into your life.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." ~ Isaiah 43:2

And most of all, please, forgive the rapist. It may not be easy for you to do so, but it is necessary to forgive. Not just the rapists and all those who have one way or the other offended you, but also yourselves: www.deviantart.com/art/Cartoon…

I'm not saying that that you should approve of what the rapist did (in case you make that crazy assumption).
