Never said anything specific about abortions Bulldog. However, if you could, can you post the verses that specify your claim? I'd like to know them for future reference when I need them.
And..............like I said..............my belief is that you don't really start to "live" until you draw your first breath.
Numbers 5:11,31
21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.
I'm not so sure about how medically viable that procedure is, but the intent is unavoidable.
Interesting. Thanks for the verses.
BTW Bulldog, what is your take on the OP's question? Do you think that a fetus has a soul, or does it have to wait until it's born and breathing to have one?
I have a video that I've posted on another thread that shows what happens when the sperm comes in contact with a fertile egg. It's under a microscope and when they touch it it looks like cloud lightening. That, according to scientists, is the moment of conception; when the egg is fertilized. Not when the baby takes its first breath. That's why I believe selective abortion is an abomination and a sin. Sorry 'bout that, Liberals.
Bioluminescence is produced by lots of different cell functions. Here is one example of a slice of mouse brain producing the effect. Does that mean the dead mouse brain just received a soul?
That was imaging. The spark caused by sperm touching the egg is the spark of life,The brighter the spark, the healthier the egg ans sperm.
Bright flash of light marks incredible moment life begins when sperm meets egg
That's so cool! TY for posting....!
But, just because the sperm entered the egg/fertilized it, there is still a long path to making it to the uterus, and attaching itself to the uterus...which is when a Pregnancy begins...
not all fertilized eggs go on to become human life...
And even when a fertilized egg does attach, and so called pregnancy begins...not all zygotes become embryos, some times or with some women, they spontaneously abort, and sometimes they make it even farther along in their stage of development and then miscarriage occurs....
This may be the beginning, that chemical spark to life itself...but it doesn't mean a baby will come out of it, that a new person will be born, that a new baby, taking its first breath of life is a guarantee just because the sperm entered the egg...even if the mother to be wishes it to be, so very very much!!! I'm one of those unfortunate women...the hubby and me...
=========================================================
QUESTIONS for everyone...
why would God allow life to begin at conception, only to allow the new zygote/embryo, die a short time later?
And another thing, God said he 'formed' Adam(man) first, then God said he ''breathed life'' in to him...which could be symbolic for Adam (man) taking his first breath.... the breath of life....? And is God forming Adam symbolic for being formed in the womb, I dunno?
And how does one die, before they are even born, before that first breath of life? Kinda strange...
is the death in the womb, equal to the death of a new born or toddler who has taken it's first breath, is a frozen zygote in a test tube where that 'spark' took place, equal to the life of the newborn or toddler...?
If a place that stored frozen fertilized eggs was on fire and 20 adults were trapped inside and firemen came to the rescue, would they save the fertilized eggs before saving the trapped adult, breathing humans?
Isn't ''more value'' of sorts... always given to the person that's been BORN?
In a labor and delivery gone wrong, with the choice between mother or the baby to be....it's usually the mother that is saved...?
So is abortion really murder? When the embryo has not finished being formed yet? when the fetus is not even developed enough to take it's first breath of life? It is ''terminating a pregnancy''....and termination can mean killing I suppose....as in the movie, The Terminator....? But it also can simply mean ending, ending a pregnancy?
Fertilized eggs never attaching to my uterus.... or if attached never staying that way long, I never even thought or related them not attaching as some kind of killing.... Did I kill them because my uterus wouldn't let the egg attach?
If life starts at conception, when that spark takes place, is there equal VALUE to that fertilized egg as a born human being?
If so, why so? If not, why not?
