I don't think God regards you as a human being until you are capable of regarding yourself as anythingI don't think God regards you as a human being until you are capable of regarding yourself as anything
I don't think God regards you as a human being until you are capable of regarding yourself as anything
life, yes... but is it a person?Yes.
Why is that wrong? That's when a human being begins. When we start to grow as an individual organism.
I don't get why there's any dispute about this, especially coming from the science community. Life begins at conception. This is a truism!
except that naturally... some 80% of them end up spontaneously aborting anywayfrom conception, if given the chance, the single cell will develop into a human being. while it's hard to get emotionally attached to a blob of cells until they start to take on human form, I believe that single cell has the right to naturally develop into it's human form. to medically change or alter it's course of development I believe to be morally wrong.
so... he regards as people BEFORE we are conceived? That makes the whole matter about naturally aborting embryos really complicated... does God know all of them as people too? Or is it just the ones that are going to go on to be born? But if thats the case, whats different about medical abortion?That is not what Scripture says.
God knew us before the foundation of the Earth.

What's absurd about it? I don't believe you are a person until you are self aware. I don't believe that God considers you a person until you are self aware either.I don't think God regards you as a human being until you are capable of regarding yourself as anything
You absolutely must be joking with this statement! That is beyond absurd. Please explain.

Bumper sticker length Bible quotes rarely solve an issue, and in this case, I think you just made it way worse

Souls? I think they probably grow and develop along with your sentience... I don't think the soul arives as a fully formed, adult thin the instant of conception... but this can all only ever be opinion, of course, since its totally undetectable either way.
you didn't really answer my question there lisa... if God knows us as people from conception or before conception... whats the go with all the millions of naturally occuring abortions occuring every day?How did I make it worse? Do you know what is one of the most common phrases in Scripture? It is the "slaying of innocent blood". It is one of the 7 things that God hates. It is why as Christians, we must embrace life and find alternatives to death.
I have mixed feelings about contraception from a Spritual pov, but I would listen to a case in which a person was convicted to not use contraception. I would respect someone who had such a great faith.
Abortion has always been with us since the dawn of time. I would like to think that we have progressed to a point where children are our greatest hope and asset rather than as disposable as the diapers they wear. Why do we make it easier to dispose of life rather than make it harder? How is this progress for a society?

Um... actually the Bible and Talmudic law say you aren't a person until you draw your first breath...You think? Do you really risk the lives of the unborn on what you think? You have no evidence, nothing. Scripture points to the soul being before the foundation of the world. Even so, at what point that babe gains the soul is unknown. Don't you think it is worth erring on the side of caution? Would you destroy a soul only on the basis of a personal theory?

And, if you want to talk about things God hates, I assume you are using the Bible as a source? Then why is it, that the only time the Bible comes even vaguely close to mentioning abortion, it considers it a considerably lesser offence than murder?
I don't know. I'll be honest.life, yes... but is it a person?
So, does this mean that you believe that all forms of chemical contraception are as bad as abortion?
my physical body began growing from there... but "I" did not become an entity until considerably later.I don't know. I'll be honest.
I believe life begins at conception, all other measures are subjective.
Do other means of birth control result in abortion? I just don't know. If yes, then they too are wrong. They too are killing a human being.
I seriously don't get how any human being cannot believe they began at conception. That's when you became you. That's when you started. And you grew from there.
That's not something that wins an argument with me. Its something that I find crushingly horrific.my physical body began growing from there... but "I" did not become an entity until considerably later.
And well, so you know, you now apparently consider something like 80% of Western women as abortionists, since chemical contraceptions works precisely by stopping a fertilised embryo from implanting
I agree, offering free birthcontrol (whether its the pill, patch or condom) along with education, would go along way to reducing the need for abortions.
Frankly, I do not understand the opinions of the pro-choicers.
What kind of country do we have if we kill our children????? That kind of horrifies me.
Jesus Christ Himself would not condone abortion.
yep. As do copper sevens, Implanon, and breast feeding.That's not something that wins an argument with me. Its something that I find crushingly horrific.
Is it true? I thought the pill stopped ovulation, are you saying it stops implantation of a fertilized egg?
could someone please explain to me how abortion is protected under the fourth amendment? the Roe V. Wade decision is perhaps one of the most disturbing supreme court decisions in US history. How our founding document could be interpreted the way the court ruled is beyond me.
Ah. Glad to see what consideration this is worth. I've had 6 kids conceived while mom was breastfeeding.yep. As do copper sevens, Implanon, and breast feeding.
