Life is sacred: only God can give it, and only He has the right to take it. He is the source of life and the life giver. Jesus says in Jn. 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” We are “formed” by Him, and our first cell contains a complete DNA formula of the future man or woman. This is why God is commanding in Exodus 20:13: “Thou shalt not kill”. Therefore to kill or to take a human life by abortion is a great sin.
Matthew 5:17-19
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Exodus 20:3 YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GOD BEFORE ME
Anything that goes before attention to God subjects a soul to the misery of sin and addiction in the absence of His Divine Love.
Regarding Exodus 20:14, the commandment was ABSOLUTE because there was no exemption to that rule that says, "this commandment is for married and youth only". Therefore this commandment was given by God for all people to obey. It is written in Matthew 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart". IMAGE, just by looking to lust after someone you have committed adultery already in your heart. The same was written in 2Peter 2:9 and 14, "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children". So, the commandment applies to all since NO exemption was stated in all those verses I quoted.
