Should Christ Followers Oppose Abortion & Yet Support Capital Punishment? - Paperback

by Keith a. Sherlin Thd P. (Author)

Christians desire to live a life that honors Christ, yet in doing so, they often face many ethical dilemmas. Spiritual warfare exists all around us, and Christ expects for his believers to offer answers full of faith, hope, and love to those seeking answers.
This book addresses an ethical issue many are confused about. Is it not inconsistent to argue for a pro-life position while affirming the legitimacy of capital punishment? How can Christians not be consistently pro-life across the board? This book examines those issues and highlights why God teaches that we should support life for the innocent in the womb while accepting the termination of life for the guilty.
Furthermore, as you gain a better understanding of those matters, you will also discover key issues from the fields of science and theology on when life truly begins in the womb. Why are so many confused on these two subjects today in our culture? Why have some Christians mistakenly thought life inside the womb may be justifiably terminated? Additionally, does God ever permit a woman to righteously terminate life in her womb? If so, under what conditions does God allow for that decision?
This book will answer all of those questions and more.
