In the midst of a culture that increasingly devalues human life, it’s worth asking: what is the root of the abortion industry’s power? Is it simply a matter of personal choice, or is there something more sinister at play? The answer, according to Chad Prather, lies in the spiritual realm. On a recent episode of his show, Chad Prather – Before The Noise, he delved into the biblical reasons behind the hatred of babies and the abortion industry in America.

The Biblical Perspective

Chad Prather argues that the Bible provides a clear framework for understanding the value of human life. In Psalm 139:13, it is written, ‘For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.’ This verse highlights the intimate and personal nature of God’s relationship with human life, even in the womb. Furthermore, Jeremiah 1:5 states, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.’ These verses demonstrate that human life is not just a product of chance, but a deliberate and intentional creation of God.

The Spiritual War Against Life

Chad Prather contends that the abortion industry is not just a moral issue, but a spiritual one. He argues that Satan hates whatever bears the image of God, and that human life is a reflection of that image. As he puts it, ‘Satan wants to attack identity all the time. When he says in Genesis 3, did God really say? Did God really say human beings are made in His image?’ This spiritual war against life is not just about abortion, but about the very nature of human identity and purpose.

The Consequences of a Culture of Death

The consequences of a culture that devalues human life are far-reaching. According to the CDC, there were over 613,000 legally induced abortions in 2022. This number is a stark reminder of the reality of abortion in America. As Chad Prather notes, ‘A culture can become sophisticated enough to rename the destruction of its children and then religious enough in their worship to justify it.’ The normalization of abortion has led to a culture that values convenience and choice over human life.

A Call to Action

So what can be done to combat this culture of death? Chad Prather argues that it starts with a clear understanding of the biblical perspective on human life. It requires a recognition of the spiritual war against life and a commitment to defending the vulnerable. As he puts it, ‘My pro-life message, if you want to use that slogan, I can condemn with compassion. and at the same time defend the gospel that I claim.’ The fight against abortion is not just about politics or morality, but about the very fabric of our society.

In conclusion, the abortion debate is not just a matter of personal choice, but a spiritual issue that goes to the heart of human identity and purpose. As Chad Prather so eloquently puts it, ‘Human dignity is not grounded in whether your mama wanted you or what the government says, human dignity is grounded in God.’ The full episode of Chad Prather – Before The Noise is available on OBBM Network TV.
