Please put into your own words. These are just my personal opinion. P.S. my assignment hasn't been graded yet.

Explanation:

1. Do you believe it’s possible for non-Christians or those who don’t hold Scripture as a sacred text to believe in the sanctity of human life? Why or why not?

To be completely honest I believe everyone and not just christians should take action in keeping human life sanctity. My reasoning behind this statement is that not only does it make sense from a biblical point of view but it should be common sense to want human life to believe that each and every human being has an inviolable dignity and immeasurable worth is one of the most precious. Sanctity of life is a principle of implied protection regarding aspects of sentient life that are said to be holy, sacred, or otherwise of such value that they are not to be violated.

2. Why do you think that some Christians often focus only on abortion as a sanctity of life issue while other Christians primarily emphasize care for the poor or opposition to war?

I think that some Chirstian focus mainly on the abortion part of things because recently abortion laws and lines are getting thinner and thinner. There a total of 629,898 abortions for 2019 were reported to CDC. Again for Chirstians that focus mainly on a certain part of sanctity in life is a biased way of thinking. Each individual is going to have a different mindset on different things that are going on in the world. For the Chirstian focusing mainly on the ant-violence and anti-war side of things are just more focused on peace in the world even though it’s going to get worse day by day because we are getting closer to the second coming of Jesus.

3. Have you ever considered the theological importance of God becoming a human in Jesus as it relates to this issue? How does it influence our understanding of humanity that Jesus himself was a tiny embryo, a small child, a poor homeless person, a convicted criminal, and a victim of violent death?

Without the Incarnation, we would have no Savior. The law tells us that sin requires death for its payment, God cannot die, so, the Savior must be human in order to be able to die. God put himself in our shoes and fleshly desires and temptations so he goes through a human life to become a living sacrifice for our sins. God wanted Jesus to be our role model to be more like him.

This question is YOUR OPINION on the sancctity of life so take what information from the book (The Sanctity of Human Life by David P. Gushee)

Answer:

Well, if you are talking about unsaved people going to heaven, then no. They can not go because they have not received Jesus into their hearts :)
