What the Early Church Did About Abortion

May 10, 2026

Most people hear "you shall not murder" and immediately check it off the list — but this episode goes to places the sermon never had time to reach. We unpack the Hebrew word ratsach and the jaw-dropping historical bombshell that God's law was the only law in the ancient world that didn't assign the value of a life based on social rank. Then we trace the anatomy of murder from Cain and Abel straight through Matthew 5, and show how the story in Genesis 4 maps perfectly onto what Jesus taught about anger, contempt, and the heart. We go deep on abortion: the Greek word brephos in Luke 1, what Exodus 21 says about the legal standing of the unborn, and how the early church didn't just teach the pro-life position, they walked outside city walls to prove it. We close by dismantling "my body, my choice" from three angles: theological, scientific, and consistency.
