I've already spoken on the forgiveness of God in my past post. You are right when you say God forgives. And you are right that the Gov. shouldn't have to make this decision for us. It should be a given. To take another life is wrong. Why can't people see that? But the gov. needs to step in and abolish abortions because babies are being destroyed by the millions. We don't mind the gov. making other laws for us to protect us from harm. Why shouldn't they also protect the innocent ones in the womb?

Not true. God does not support his children in every decision that they make in life. Only the right decisions. Just like you as a parent would not support your child's decision to use drugs.(or at least I hope not)

Also, if you have read the bible twice, then you would have read the story in the old testament of a person who killed the baby in the womb of a pregnant woman and God gave him the death penalty for it. He does not approve of harming the unborn child in any way.

I believe that the instance that you are thinking of was one in which the person killed the baby in the womb of a pregnant woman without her consent! Which is murder and is not right...however I think things may have been different if the woman had chosen to do it herself for reasons that were beyond her control...My decision was the right one for the position that I was put in and my God supports that.

I am a christian also and I also support the right to choose. It is not anyone else's business and no one has the right to judge anyone, no matter what our beliefs are. Jesus teaches that as well.

Unfortunately for you, you live in America where we have many many religions. Granted the majority are Christian, but to assume that your beliefs should be forced upon the majority is naive and selfish. The notion that if I were raped and became pregnant, I should have to carry that child to term is unbelievable.

All I can say is "One day we shall see." The scripture teaches that in the end of time "every knee WILL bow and every tonge WLL confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." He is our creator and when He says something is right or something is wrong, it would be best for everyone if we heeded his advice.

Just a note* It is one thing to say you are a christian, the real test of that is when you follow His teachings. Therefore, you can't be a christian and say it's ok to kill a baby in the womb or out of the womb. Killing is wrong.

Babygirl, I don't speak the thoughts of God. I said "This is what I believe Jesus would say to her."

And being a christian and daily reading God's word and talking to Him, I can honestly say that over the past 30 years, I have gotten to know Him pretty well.

Rodriguezequal, What makes you think that it's not ok for someone else to kill your unborn baby, but it is ok for you to do it?

Carrie, I don't judge anyone. God will do that one day. I'm just informing you all of what He has to say on the issue.(And I make His opinions my opinions)

When people want to do what they want to do, they will defend their right to do it to the end! "No one can tell me what to do!" (not even God) They will even go to the lengths of saying "God didn't say that, He said this..." When Satan was trying to persuade Eve to eat the apple, he said to her "God didn't say you can't eat from that tree." She believed him and ate. Look where that got us. (the first sin of disobedience to God)

It is a terrible shame when we become sooo blind to reality. An unborn baby is a living being. We should not kill living human beings. I understand that an unwanted pregnancy can interfere with a womans life when it happens, but so do many things like cancer or a loss of a job. That's life! (and no, (before you jump all over me) I'm not comparing a baby with cancer or a job loss.) But, unwanted things happen. We must deal with them as they arise. If you suddenly got cancer,your Husband wouldn't murder you to get rid of his problem of having to deal with a sick wife. (just an example, relax) If he did, he would go to prison. But a woman can murder her own children and no one says boo. Well, I'm saying it here on this forum. Boooo!

Dear SM, What about the babies bodys rights. He doesn't have any rights?

That's a very self centered attitude.

He would have told her that in this wicked world in which we live, people do all kinds of evil things to others such as rape. It isn't right, but it happens none the less. He would have told her that he loves her, and that he also loves the innocent new life inside her and that it too is a victim here. He would have told her to carry the child and deliver the child and know that none of this is her fault or the child's fault, but that to kill the baby through an abortion is a sin. That's what he would have told her.

Now this girl is no longer 14 years old. This is what I believe He would tell her now. "My child, when that happened to you when you were young, you didn't know what to do, and I understand that at the time you were confused and young and hurt and abused unjustly. I want you to know that I forgive you for making the choice to have an abortion. I love you." That's what he would say now, if she asks him for forgiveness. God knows that we go through this life and make wrong choices and decisions every day. That's why he sent Jesus.

Just saying.

And let me reiterate that I think it is wonderful that you want to share Jesus with others. But again there is a way that is helpful and a way that is hurtful. Shoving something down someone's throat when they don't believe your views is not going to change their mind. You catch a lot more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

for those of you that dont know, there is a wonderful feature on LBT called ignore user....

go to your "User CP", on the left hand side there is an "Edit Ignore List" option...

when people start spewing what they think is right, sometimes its the best option.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
