• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Yes, the Bible talks quite a bit about knowing people, usually specific people, in or before the womb.

However:
This passage clearly states that the punishment for causing a miscarriage is different from harming a woman. So the Bible isn't clearly Pro-Life (or Pro-Choice, for that matter). In fact, one could take this passage to mean that God values unborn humans very differently from born humans.

sorry for dredging this thread up again, just had to post one more comment...

20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
(Old Testament | Exodus 21:20)

punishment for causing miscarriage is the same as punishment for killing a servant... a servant is a person... anyways, just to be clear, the Bible does not support abortion... it clearly teaches life starts in the womb - as per previously cited scripts.

nonsense.

In all old Biblical scholarship, right throw the Jewish tradition, life begins, or rather, one becomes a person, when one draws his first breath. Prior to that you are NOT a person, and while possibly considered of value, NOT the same value as a person
