EPISODE 0219 | The Biblical View on Life and Abortion: POV Part 5
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0219
In this powerful and unapologetic installment of the Point of View series, Pastors Daniel and Josh Brown tackle one of the most spiritually charged and culturally contentious topics of our time: abortion. Framed through the lens of four dominant worldviews—naturalism, postmodernism, eastern spirituality, and biblical Christianity—they expose the ideological roots behind the culture of death and contrast them with the unshakable truth of Scripture. From the ancient sacrifices to Molech to the modern abortion pill, this episode pulls no punches, calling listeners to clarity, conviction, and courage as they fight for the sanctity of life.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ How different worldviews—naturalism, postmodernism, eastern mysticism—rationalize abortion
✔️ What makes the biblical worldview logically consistent and morally clear on life
✔️ Why children are a gift—not a burden—and why their value isn’t based on circumstance
✔️ The spiritual history of child sacrifice (Molech) and its disturbing parallels today
✔️ Why chemical abortion is today’s version of passing children through the fire
✔️ How Scripture affirms the value of life before birth
✔️ Refuting “my body, my choice” and other deceptive slogans with truth and logic
✔️ Understanding the S.L.E.D. argument: size, level of development, environment, dependency
✔️ How parents are formed through the pregnancy process—and why it's God's design
✔️ The call to silence the cultural “drums” that drown out the cries of the innocent
Key Scriptures:
📖 Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”
