0:00.0 | Welcome to 10 questions with Mike Winger. I'm here to answer your Bible questions, tough questions about the Bible, the first of which up today is from Shanny Sebastian Milorgio. I'm sure I mispron on that,'m sorry does Exodus 21-22 really condone abortion |
0:16.4 | that's let's remember this part of the question because we'll come back to it after |
0:19.1 | we analyze the the verse does it condone abortion I've seen multiple commentaries and translations, |
0:24.4 | Shenny says, and it does really seem like abortion is accepted as the baby's life appears |
0:29.7 | to be less valuable. Let's dig into this. So Exodus 2102 looks like this. When men |
