Because abortion was frowned upon.
Have you checked the Bible?
You could look there, if you can’t find it in Wikipedia.

The Bible speaks of Jesus being “the last Adam”...1 Corinthians 15:45 and becoming “a corresponding ransom for all mankind,” his fleshly body had to be a real human body, no incarnation....1Timothy 2:5, 6; Matthew 20:28...it had to be perfect, for it was to be sacrificed to present to Jehovah God the purchase price....1 Peter 1:18, 19; Hebrews 9:14...no imperfect human could provide the needed price....Psalm 49:7-9...for this reason Jesus said to his Father when presenting himself for baptism, to begin his sacrificial course...“Look! I have come to do your will...You prepared a body for me.” Hebrews 10:5,9
For the same reason I can't ever be a Christian- because of what happened in the Garden of Eden.
That's a possible answer; however, there is another answer. Jesus told us in the Gospels why he came.
Question for you: How does God create man with free will but not allow man to make bad choices that have consequences?
That's not the case, is it. You (you're a Christian, right?) you want your God to hold everyone guilty of the sin committed by one man and one woman, the ones He created. Everyone born since is guilty of that sin.
Your God fashioned a faulty creation, and blames everyone who has ever lived for it's faults. That concept of 'original sin' is why I couldn't be a Christian. I don't accept that we're born needing redemption for what happened in the Garden.
First, you didn't answer my question. How does God create man with free will but not allow man to make bad choices that have consequences?
Second, he created a way through Christ so men can be saved. And it doesn't cost you anything. Where's God's credit for doing that??
My answer was, He didn't. See there where I said, "That's not the case."? He created one man with free will and saddled all others with the consequences of that man's free will.
Here's a question for you- If someone accepts Christ's teaching as the route to Heaven and tries sincerely to live a Christian life but doesn't believe they were born in sin because of Adam and Eve, can they still enter Heaven? Seeing as how they would be denying Christ's role of Redeemer. Is accepting guilt for the sin of Adam and Eve necessary for acceptance to Heaven?

How about redemption for your own sins...unless, of course, you are perfect and do no wrong...
I'm not 'saddled' with the consequences. I have Christ and his salvation. You're the one who is saddled with consequences because you have KICKED GOD'S SOLUTION AND SALVATION UNDER THE BUS.
Each man has his own guilt. ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's laws. But people don't have to fry in eternity for that. It would be dumb to deny one's FREE 'get out of jail card'.
Not what we're talking about. The 'redeemer' part of Christ the Redeemer refers to the original sin. I don't buy the original sin guilt thing. Do you?
“For this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.” John 18:36-38
Well, when a mummy virgin and a daddy deity love each other very much...An interesting question:
Why did Jesus come into the world?
While the conversation has gone far off course, you nailed the answer. "...to bear witness or testify to the truth."
Very good!
Wel,l thanks...what do I win for getting the answer right?:tongue4:
