'Committing abortion when you are raped is double sin' - T.B Joshua

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome said a baby that is a product of rape can be aborted (If you missed it, read here) but pastor T.B Joshua doesn't agree with him. He says committing an abortion when raped is a double sin. Which of these pastors do you agree with?

Beats me, now I understand why why nigerians are so backwards, still so much to learn. I guess well be seeing more babies in the canal, this man goes abt preaching poison and its funny how many ppl fall for it. Hw can anyone with a brain think so irrationally?. Kids get raped n knocked up, some get raped by their own fathers n/or relative. Other get ganged rape...all with posibility that the child will be born with a disease/defect. someone on here admitted to hv aborted a fetus as a result of rape...yet says she agrees with tb joshua gullible nigerians.

I agree with him on this topic. Also, if God did not want that child to be born, that rape would not have led to pregnancy.

Oluchi Effiom you're the biggest and dumbest fool ever for u to have said the catholic church is an occultic church.. The catholic church will never support abortion unlike that your Christ embassy that promotes abortions and divorce.. Anuofia!

Ok sin is sin so how about other form of sin like lies n deception! People of this world and hypocrisy. All I kno is we have a GrCious God whom cares about us making heaven than raising standards that'll take us to hell. A doctors diffinition of abortion clearly differs 4rm an average persons understanding on that. We are just getting unnecessarily emotional on this topic. God looks at the heart of man not the law of life or even bible cuz even bible has phases and at the later phase which is 2day is grace bound. If we notice our babies and children could sometimes be extremely selfish and I don't think any1 here will say they're goin 2 he'll is d sounds comes now. So many tins of this world are God matters not human feelings. Let's not condemn these great Men of 2day whom God is using as well as any other person. SHAWN

GBEMMI< GOD BLESS YOU!!!!> You are the only rational human I have met on this blog! Our Nigerian minds are so lazy that it becomes the law because a "Man of God" said so. Imagine the trauma of being gang raped and pregnant and then keeping the baby; easier said and done! We need to mentally mature in Nigeria before anything changes. We are possessed by the demon called "religion".

Define sin for us, according to the Bible...
And let us measure abortion against that definition!

Well pastor or no pastor what i feel is killing a child(abortion) is so wrong, that my own point of view.,those that were rape are the ones that knows how it feels and know the next step.,but what we should put in mind is that great kids could come out from rape..may God give us his wisdom cos he is the only one that knows right from wrong

I strongly agree with prophet TB Joshua,a sin is a sin for example after been raped,u got pregnant and you were going to commit an abortion and u got a message from God that the child you are about to get rid off is going to be extremely successful,tell me are you still gonna carry on with your plans of getting rid of the baby?hell no you won't . same thing goes to stealing some people steal for good reason for instance trying to pay the bill of a sick dieing mother at the hospital from a wicked wealthy uncle that has refuse to help,that doesn't make it right,it all balls down to stealing and in the eyes of God it's a sin,everyone should learn how to carry their cross that's what comes with life,Life is deeper than it present itself....

Who is the dumbing,do you understand the meaning of Abortion!killing is a sin and abortion is depriving a child the right to live,it's killing your own flesh and blood so yes it is in the bible.

Men will continue to legislate what they think is right for the body of women forgetting that throughout history, they have been embarrassingly wrong ALL the time. No woman asks to be raped and having to live with and love a constant reminder of such unrivaled trauma ALL YOUR DAYS is something only someone who can't put themselves in the shoes of someone who has been violated can say.That is why TB Joshua will say it is a "DOUBLE SIN" because in his warped understanding, being raped is something God holds against you as a sin. When he is raped, he can choose not to wash up and may even give his violator a kiss. Don't be so arrogant as to legislate morality from your narrow world view.

Abortion is justified in cases of rape Abortion in cases of rape is justified. Pregnancy is no doubt a life-changing experience, and along with the physical burden, there are strong psychological and social burdens. A woman has a right to choose what to do with her body, and preventing a completely unwanted pregnancy is a fair option. Women should not feel shamed or pressured into keeping a child just to satisfy the moral or ethical standards of others who are judgemental but have not experienced the same situation.No. Nobody should be forced to carry a child brought on them by rape. Some people aren't mentally strong enough to go through nine months of pregnancy after the traumatizing experience of rape. And let's not forget about society. Let's be honest, when we see a prenant single woman, we think 'whore'. We do not stop to try and understand them at all, we judge.
Adoption takes a really long time. Sometimes it takes years for a couple to be cleared for adoption. Why would you put a rape victim through nine months of pregnancy just to give the child away? So much emotional truama.

its a personal decision. when the pregnancy is still in very early stages, i think to abort it is best but we all know that its illegal in Nigeria.

All you clamouring that abortion is a sin, I want you to put yourself in the shoes of a rape victim. Do u think is easy carrying that bastard in your womb for 9 months and also bear the trauma that comes with it for the rest of life. Have all forgotten u that even God killed a child that David had wrongly with another persons wife in 2 Samuel 12:15-19, Now how do u judge that, do u call that a Wicked God. There are so many things we humans can't judge except God alone. For me I pitch my tent with pastor Chris Oyakhilome. Keeping such baby will create more pains upon pains

To a certain level of degree, both pastors are right but on the other hand wrong also. Religiously abortion is a sin but logically, abortion from rape can be considered right. It's down to the victim of rape's personal views. Pastors opinion shouldn't be regarded in this matter

People wen form holy pass, if you discover the real them, no matter how you bad reach, you go feel say you still dey try.

I am simply going to voice out my opinion on this because most of the comments i've seen here are downright IDIOTIC and borderline RETARDED. To those saying aborting it is an absolute sin while reassuring yourself with whatever vague knowledge you think you know of the bible I say this; imagine having that baby and being reminded every single day of your life that the child exists of the circumstance in which the child was conceived. Then re evaluate your answer and not just succumb to the opinion of another man. You are an individual think for yourself and form your own opinions. The words of a pastor/prophet/man of God is not Absolute.

this my first comment ever but I was touched to share my story cos it will be of benefit to some pple who care to learn from people mistakes, abortion is a sin and a sacrilege no matter the situation i was 16 when I took the life of this innocent baby in my womb just to please pple and my family so they wnt feel I had a baby out of wedlock, just to cover up my shame,believe me no sinner will go unpunished GOd wil surely give it back to d person one way or d other thru marriage or some other ways and show his mercy later,just for us to know d worth of a child,later at 20 I got married to dis guy thinking all is well, to my surprise I stayed for 15 years childless i went to d hospital but nothing was diagnose, words and tears cld nt explain wat I went thru I saw hell cos all d 4 four women married in that family could not conceive, God knows the family I entered for marriage were under a curse but he took me to d family just for me to pay for wat I did in d past,I was ready to do anything to have a child of my own, dere is no manner of prayers,fasting and commitment I did nt evolve wit the lord, for him to show me mercy and give me a child but evrytin prove abortive, at dat point I was lik I wished I kept dis child I aborted many years ago is just a matter of time tongue wil stop waging but at least everyone wil know I was once a mother,but to GOD BE D GLORY today am in the states cos I separated from him cos of Some unbearable issues we were havin and I got married to someone else as am writing my faithful God has shown me mercy and opened my womb naturally wit0ut the help of IVF, am now a proud mother of a boy and my joy has become full, GOd knows the best for us but because of our sins he takes us to a place of pain and regret that will make us pay for our sins and later embrace us again as his children so that we can appreciate watever gift he gave us in d past no matter how it was conceived, beloved no matter how a child is born it is a gift from God and a mothers pride, time shall tell just keep moving and be strong everything will turn out for your good I strongly believe, it is well wit us.

Any great kid that would have come forth from rape, sorry o. You were aborted and so we can never know. You may equally have been a ruffian, the cause of your mother's death. What we never know, we never know. And so, no assumptions. If Nigerians see free money to steal, they will steal. Even the best of Christians. And here we are talking about Christianity and rape abortions. Let that sleeping dog lie.

Whoever listens to these holier than thou is on her own. You will see the very same person who gave that advice do the opposite if it happens to her.

Those in support of Chris Oyakhilome, have they actually wondered why their spiritual leader (I'm not sure what kind of spirit is leading him) did not deem it fit to educate his congregation that in the event of rape, they should immediately go to the hospital?

Because if in his worldly wisdom of advocating a choice to abort in the case of rape, he didn't realise that once you go to the hospital, the doctors actually give medication to ensure pregnancy does not occur from the horrible experience (this is not abortion) and also give other medication to prevent sexually transmitted disease, this man is not sound.

Most of those yarning dust saying the woman should be able to abort have never experienced rape: I have, I didn't get pregnant because I went to the hospital and was given all sorts of medication immediately so I didn't have to commit sin by aborting. Women also lose pregnancies while married and have to abort the dead foetus- abortion isn't a thing you take lightly neither is it an easy thing to do, so why wait till you are pregnant to go through another harrowing experience of abortion after being raped????

Like I said before, if he's advocating a choice of abortion, which quack doctor will help them perform the abortion, considering that once the rape victim waits till she gets pregnant, no registered doctor will agree to do abortion for her.

I don't like tb Joshua either because he and his fellow brother are fake pastors. If Chris Oyakhilome didn't believe in Joshua, he wouldn't have allowed him pray for him those years ago: birds of a feather

My issue is that T.B.Joshua said it's a double sin....so...did the girl first sin by getting raped?.....I agree that you should not kill...as it is said in the bible...but everybody who us shouting. get raped and pregnant first. If he is Insinuating that getting raped is a sin...THAT IS RUBBISH OF THE HIGHEST ORDER....The sin is on the part of the rapist not the victim.

Linda, you should not be comparing Pastors, they only give opinions based on their understanding;they are not God. The decision to abort or keep a pregnancy from rape solely depends on the 'abused'.
For those of you insulting and judging the Pastors, who are you to judge them. I hope you don't beg any of them for water when u rot in hell.

So shut up.

raped is very traumatic, nobody wish to experience it. but whatever that happens has a reason, b4 that child was formed God already knew. he said he knows us b4 we are conceived. so nothing happens to us without his knowledge. i ve hard several news where a girl was raped and she got pregnant at the end of the day, she had a miscarriage or the baby dies, it is not in our hands to take that decision. we shud always let God's perfect will to be done. he knows the ending from the beginning.#myopinion#

The rapist is the sinner, not the victim. Often the victim is guilty of other sins that put her in a vulnerable situation but she is not guilty of her rape. Only the rapist is guilty of the sin and crime of rape. No matter what she did or didn't she didn't make him rape her.
If she kills her baby - embryo, fetus, whatever stage of development her baby is in - or hires a professional babykiller, she is now a murderess, guilty of the greatest sin one person can inflict on another. A sin worse than the rape, for the rapist did not murder her.

Anonymous said...

If a baby has already been conceived in her uterine (Fallopian) tube, pregnancy has begun. Anything done to stop it will cause the baby to die.
If she has not ovulated, a contraception drug can be administered but most women do not know that they have ovulated for some time afterward. So chances are, if she was nearing ovulation, she is just as likely to have ovulated already.
