You’re an arrogant pharisee to use a word that basically no one knows so that you look as well educated as... a pharisee. My representation was not an unfounded assumption, and many christian evangelical scholars hold the same view. What you COMPLETELY ignore is the intent of the investigation, which is not so much to show that the bible does not uphold fetal life holds less value than adult human life (which it does), but that it holds it to some particular relatively high value. It certainly holds it to a value higher than a vulture’s egg. But in your pharisaical urge to make some “exegetical” point, you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
So... we’re all very impressed that you know big words and have such high pretension to biblical knowledge. But your knowledge has puffed you up, like the bible says.
which is not so much to show that the bible does not uphold fetal life holds less value than adult human life (which it does),
If I am understanding your meaning correctly, the Bible most certainly does not hold fetal human life as less value than adult human life, and the greatest evidence of that fact is that Jesus Christ Himself was once a pre-born child.
Have you not read what the prophet Jeremiah wrote? ""Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
If you are going to represent what the Bible teaches on some subject you ought to make very sure you are doing so accurately. If saying so makes me arrogant and a puffed up pharisee in your eyes, so be it.
Cordially,
