Thinking about IVF and artificial insemination theologically.

[Adventist Dissident]

Ok! Thank for the compliment...I think.

Furthermore, what do you think of Psalm 139?

is talking about the "formation period" you looked on my "unformed" body vs16, you "formed" me in my mother's womb.

The body is unformed then it is formed. It does not say anything about it being alive. This is the same as Gen 2:7 "You formed me from the dust of the Ground"

Ask this simple question, is it alive during the formation period in Gen 2:7, NO. then if it is the same word then we must conclude that it is not alive in Ps 139,13,16.

Or even Psalm 51?

Psalm 51:5

"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."

ok what does this say about being alive at conception? It seems to be talking about the act of conception, not weather it is alive.

This is one of those questions where you can't answer definitively until you're there. You may contemplate it theologically and have a spouse who shares your position. But until the reality of infertility is confronted by both you don't how you'll respond. People change their minds all the time.

On a personal note, I prefer my bloodline and the spiritual DNA that accompanies. There's greater authority from that position. But I understand both sides.
