Abortion is not biblical

March 28, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Numbers 5:27
The New American Standard Bible
translates this:
“her thigh will [b collapse] shrivel”


Psalm 39:13
Amplified Bible
“For You
formed my innermost parts;

You knit me [together]
in my mother’s womb.
“

In WORLD Magazine and WORLD Digital, Leah Hickman Leah Hickman[Twitter @leahmhickman] writes (WNG Post Date: March 24, 2021)

“Translation abuse”  https://world.wng.org/2021/03/translation_abuse

“Some abortion advocates point to a passage in the New International Version as Biblical justification for abortion. But the NIV’s speculative translation clouds rather than clarifies”.

I ask, How many “abortion advocates” try to understand biblical context and original text meaning, much less are “experts” in Bible interpretation? Maybe… 0%. We must always research “the full counsel of God’s Word”.

“the full counsel of God’s Word (Acts 17:11)”

11 Now these people
were more noble-minded
than those in Thessalonica,
[a]for they received the word
with [b]great eagerness,
examining the Scriptures daily
to see
whether these things were so.
– Acts 17:11

Work to stay true to God
Believing against abortion does not mean we are also against the mother.  Jesus forgives worse than abortion.  He saves us, all of us — “out of our sin”.

Pro-life is a loving stance toward the mother and toward the pre-born baby.  We should all work to stay true to God, not always looking for loopholes to practice sex when and where and with whom we choose.


“What’s got you pulling the wrong way… away from God’s expressed way that pleases Him?  Left or right – it’s all about staying true to God.  It’s His Word that shows us the thinking of God.

“Have you closely examined your beliefs?  Do you believe it really matters – what you believe?  What matters?  Does it make a difference with God, what you think?  Is your belief about God really from God – or have you fallen for the tricky, deceptive words of the Serpent?”  – Source: Your thinking or God’s Word?


The book of Numbers, specifically the abortionist’s favorite passage, Numbers 5:27,  the one pointed to by abortion advocates, is not “an abortion verse”, and does not advocate killing “the fetus”, as they ademently refer to the unborn baby. Their argument is total hogwash, and an abuse of better translation practices. Here is a best translation (NASB):

Numbers 5:27   New American Standard Bible
27 When he has made her drink the water, then it will come about, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, that the water which brings a curse will go into her [a]and cause bitterness, and her belly will swell up and her thigh will [b collapse] shrivel, and the woman will become a curse among her people.

No mention of “abortion” or “miscarriage”.  And here is the worst translation ever (with regards to “abortion passages”):

Numbers 5:27    New International Version
27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.

The abortion advocate’s prize term in this passage is “her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry“.  But the best translation of that portion of verse 27 is is that her “thigh will collapse”.

The 2011 NIV translation breaks with earlier NIVs as well as at least 37 other translations in making three obscure verses—Numbers 5:21, 5:22, and 5:27—suggest that God forces an adulterous woman to “miscarry.” – Translation abuse, by Leah Hickman.

Doing a simple search of how does a thigh “collapse”, modern medicine describes this as “Cataplexy and Drop Attacks”. This has nothing to do with the womb.  It is the “thigh”.  “There are many neurological and non-neurological causes….” See:


https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/drop-attack (read article for all live links)

“Cataplexy and Drop Attacks

Drop attacks can be defined as sudden falls with or without loss of consciousness, due either to collapse of postural muscle tone or to abnormal muscle contractions in the legs. There are many neurological and nonneurological causes of symptomatic drop attacks, but most are of unknown etiology. Neurological disorders include leg weakness, sudden falls in parkinsonian syndromes including those due to freezing, transient ischemic attacks, epilepsy, myoclonus, startle reactions (hyperekplexia), paroxysmal dyskinesias, structural CNS lesions, and hydrocephalus. In some of these, there is a loss of muscle tone in the legs, and in others, there is excessive muscle stiffness with immobility, such as in hyperekplexia. Syncope and cardiovascular disease account for nonneurological causes.”

There is no “biblical abortion”
An honest translation of Numbers 5:27  does not even come close to giving us an argument for biblical abortion.  There is no “biblical abortion”.  Abortion is anathema throughout God’s Word.

The Bible’s many clear pro-life verses include
Luke 1:44 and Psalms 51:5 and 139:13,
where David says of God,
“You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”
Some abortion proponents
have tried
to turn this into special cases
—yes, God knit David and John the Baptist,
but not others.

Even if that were not such a stretch,
it runs up against
passages such as Isaiah 44:2,
addressed to everyone in Israel:
“Thus says
the Lord who made you,
who formed you from the womb.”
—Marvin Olasky

it’s all about
staying true to God. 
It’s His Word that shows us
the thinking of God.

Your thinking or God’s Word?

“What’s got you pulling the wrong way… away from God’s expressed way that pleases Him?  Left or right – it’s all about staying true to God.  It’s His Word that shows us the thinking of God.

“Have you closely examined your beliefs?  Do you believe it really matters – what you believe?  What matters?  Does it make a difference with God, what you think?  Is your belief about God really from God – or have you fallen for the tricky, deceptive words of the Serpent?”

Does it matter what you believe?

Thief On The Cross

Thief On The Cross. Nothing religious was done by the thief. He merely (1) confessed his sinfulness, and (2) acknowledged Jesus as “the Christ”.

Every believer’s new life in Christ [Part One]

Because God is extreme to the nth degree – God requires an extreme type of relationship from us. Once we get born again, we will continue growing deeply, naturally, into further maturity in Christ.

Growing into our natural new life in Christ

Growing is what should be happening after we are “born again”, Paul says. The natural response to Christ is to grab hold of the good soil – and flourish.  Ephesians 1 is about flourishing, germinating naturally, sprouting strong and stable.
