But if I could rock your theological noodle, I submit to you that my Bible teaches me that God is pro-choice also.

0:05.8

This lead pastor told his entire congregation that when it comes to legislation specifically,

0:11.1

God is entirely pro-choice. He says the Bible actually teaches this and he just wishes people

0:16.1

would read the Bible more because then they could see it for themselves. Yes, God's pro-life in some

0:20.4

sense, he says, but in another sense, he's entirely pro-choice. This is the clip we're going to

0:24.8

discuss in detail and show how ironic this Bible verse is that he's using because it means the

0:28.9

opposite of what he says. God is pro-life. He says, I'll come that you may have life and have

0:37.6

it more abundantly. But if I could rock your theological noodle, I submit to you that my Bible teaches

0:43.7

me that God is pro-choice also. How can you say that? He said, choose ye this day, home you will

0:52.0

serve. The Old Testament says, I've said before you life and death, therefore I'm not going to

0:58.4

legislate the answer for you. Therefore choose life that both you, oh, I wish I had some Bible readers

1:05.8

1:13.4

how the Bible verse he picked is hugely ironic because in a sense it says the opposite of what

1:18.7

Pastor Mike from Radiant Church in Seattle, Washington says that it says. So the vague claims in his

1:25.0

video, the quick summary, right, is that God is both pro-life and pro-choice, which is strange because

1:31.5

yeah, okay, he's, but he supposedly got his both pro-life and pro-choice. And he's pro-life because

1:36.7

there's a verse in the Bible that says, I've come that you may have life and life abundantly.

1:40.3

Now this is, I'm not going to spend time on this one, but John 10, 10, Jesus is talking here and

1:45.1

it's, it's a bit of a clumsy pro-life verse. I don't usually hear it used by pro-lifers. If we're

1:49.8

trying to make a biblical case for the pro-life cause, which I think can actually be made very, very

1:54.0

strongly, very strongly, versus that show that that life begins, you know, here inside the womb

1:59.5

at the earliest stages, that's a human life. You can do that. There's lots of verses for that,
