Was the early Christian Church against abortion?

Some Christians sometimes seem to me to think everything was a prophesy of the Messiah to come. I’ve never seen that as a Jewish interpretation.

And Abraham could easily have told his servants that they would both be back in order to prevent either the servants or Isaac himself from freaking out. Or he might have been thinking that he’d bring Isaac’s ashes back. People now, at least, often speak of bringing back a body as if they were bringing back a person.

The religious followers of Judaism purposely avoid reading certain parts of their text (they consider it forbidden) because the Messianic references align very closely with the life of Jesus. Instead try asking a Messianic Jew what they think. You’ll get an earful.

It’s my opinion of course, but I don’t think Abraham was lying at all. God had promised he would have countless descendants through Issac and Abraham took God at His word. Perhaps he thought God was going to resurrect Issac after he killed him? Ironically this would have matched the Messianic prophesy even more accurately.
