You are all heretics!
Morning Joe is here to let you know that if YOU think Jesus is anti-abortion then you're committing heresy!
Watch the oh-so-intelligent-and-biblically-literate Joe Scarborough pontificate on the teachings of Christ.
As a Southern Baptist who grew up reading the Bible, maybe a backslidden Baptist, but I still know the Bible...
Yeah, sure you do, Joe.
Jesus never once talked about abortion. Never once. And it was happening back in ancient times. It was happening during his time. Never once mentioned it. For people perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ down to one issue, it is heresy.
Joe thinks that if Jesus never mentioned a specific sin by name it is therefore a full-throated endorsement of that sin.
That's literally what he's arguing here.
If that makes you angry, why don't you do something you haven't done in a long time: Open the Bible, open the New Testament! Read the red letters! You won't see it there!
There are LOTS of sins that Jesus doesn't specifically mention in the Bible. And right, for some odd reason, nearly every Church leader throughout history up until 5 minutes ago taught that murder of children, both born and preborn, was wrong.
Let's turn to my boy John Calvin (1509-1564) for a sec:
'If men strive, and hurt a woman.' This passage at first sight is ambiguous, for if the word death only applies to the pregnant woman, it would not have been a capital crime to put an end to the fetus, which would be a great absurdity; for the fetus, though enclosed in the womb of its mother, is already a human being, (homo) and it is almost a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which it has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man's house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light. On these grounds I am led to conclude, without hesitation, that the words, "if death should follow," must be applied to the fetus as well as to the mother.
There's also actual Scriptural condemnation of such a thing (Jeremiah 19:5, Exodus 21:22-25) at the same time that Scripture teaches that God forms the body in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:13-16)
I say this in the literal, biblical sense about Joe: What a fool.
