Silent Holocaust on Unborn

Charged with 8

counts of murder

Prohibition against the killing

of innocent people

“You shall not murder” (Exodus

20:13; Deut 5:17; Matthew 19:18;

Romans 13:9).

This applies to all innocent people

This does not prohibit the killing of

animals, criminals, or combatants

in a just war.

Capital Punishment was

mandated for capital offenses Genesis 9:6 Whoever sheds the

blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image

Romans 13:4 …But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.

Test Case: What if… Exodus 21:22 “If men who are

fighting hit a pregnant woman

and she gives birth

prematurely but there is no

serious injury, the offender

must be fined whatever the

woman’s husband demands

and the court allows…

Exodus 21:23-25 But if there

is serious injury, you are to

take life for life, eye for eye,

tooth for tooth, hand for hand,

foot for foot, burn for burn,

wound for wound, bruise for

bruise.
