Teen Time: Jesus and modern healthcare (September 5th)

Jesus would have supported vaccines and a woman’s right to choose.

Too many people are using the Bible as a reason to deny the use of vaccines and a woman’s right to make choices about her body. This is the wrong use of the Bible.

How would Jesus deal with vaccines? He healed everyone who asked, using prayer, dust, even his own spit. If he had had vaccines, he would have used that too.

How would Jesus deal with abortion? Abortion was known at the time of Jesus and he said nothing about it, so it’s safe to accept that Jesus didn’t think he had the right to interfere with a woman’s choices.

If we really want to follow Jesus, we can’t just decide we don’t like something or someone and then throw the Bible around as the reason.
