GodsGrace says>> "Only the most extreme scientists do not agree that a fetus is a living being."
So, you are saying that you derive your theology from scientists, rather than Scripture??
The Bible says “The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being” (Genesis 2:7). Adam did not become a living being until then.
Now, how could God breathe into the nostrils of that semi-formed fetus submerged in the amniotic sac when it doesn't have nostrils?? Even if it did have nostrils, it would drown before it ever had a chance of being born.
This concept is reiterated by Job:
“The Spirit of God has made me,
And the BREATH of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:44
"For as long as life is in me,
And the breath of God is in my nostrils" Job 27
A fetus does not become a living being until God breathes its nostrils, the breath of life, and having nostrils would seem to be a prerequisite for that to happen.
Do you disagree with what God has said?
I disagree with what you say.
I've never heard a Christian person say anything so wrong as you are right now.
What God says is this:
THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
Life is in an embryo from the moment of conception.
It's up to God to decide if that embryo goes to term or not.
When God worked in Genesis, He did something very important which you seem to have missed.
Genesis 1:22
Genesis 1:28
Genesis 1:29
Genesis 1:30
Genesis 2:7
Genesis 2:21
Genesis 1:22 and Genesis 1:28
God said to be fruitful and multiply.
God gave to the plants the ABILITY to multiply.
He gave to animals the ability to reproduce themselves.
He gave HUMANS the ability to multiply themselves.
God set the world in motion and the laws of nature in motion...
and today we live by those laws.
God breathed life into man ONE TIME in Genesis when man was created so that he would not be dead dirt from the ground.
We're alive now...we reproduce ourselves now...we follow the laws of nature now when a baby is formed by us, humans.
All of nature reproduces itself....This is the will of God...He is not required to make every little seed germinate...He embedded this information into a kernel...
He is not required to imbed a sperm into an ovum...this information is already present and acts in the laws God set up.
Notice that in
Genesis 1:29 God says that He has given man every fruit bearing seed.
Does man not also have a fruit bearing seed to reproduce himself?
Genesis 2:7 and Genesis 2:21
In Genesis 2:7 God formed man out of dust from the ground and breathed life into him.
Does God have to do this for every human that is born?
NO. He did this one time to GIVE MAN LIFE.
We now have life and must only perpetuate it.
Is a person born alive?
Yes.
Is he not human because he may or may not be breathing?
IF HE DOES NOT BREATH....He is still a human being...
one that HAS DIED...not one that never lived - because in the womb his heart was beating and there was life because there was movement.
Adam had blood flowing through him after God breathed life into him.
THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
Genesis 4:11-12
Leviticus 17:13-14
As a Christian person that represents the word of God,
it would behoove you and those that come into contact with
you to study this and come to understand the word of God.
THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
