Common sense alone would tell you that the fetus is human and living from the time of conception on. Even those who don’t give Scripture any credence, still have to get around two issues.
One being that the genetic make-up of the fetus is that of a human being, with any one random cell selected from that fetus containing the same DNA distinguishing it as a separate living individual would any random cell selected from that same individual as a grown adult.
The other is that as long as cell division and multiplication is going on, the fetus is growing. If it’s growing, taking in nutrients to do so, respiring in the way that is natural to it, it’s alive.
So these pro-abortionists who want to reject Scripture as support for determining the humanity of the person from conception on, still run smack into scientific support for it. They just can’t win. There’s no justification for determining a fetus not human at any stage in its development other than it’s simply the preference of the pro-abortion apologist.
They’d be better off just admitting their position is based strictly on personal preference than going through the kinds of contortions and convoluted reasoning that makes them looks like the irrational fools and hypocrites they present themselves as.
Check out my post #250. He's using a completely irrelevant Bible passage. He calls himself a Christian. Well, then, he understands he will answer for his beliefs some day. I'm glad I'm not him. An enabler is just as evil as the killer.
You are talking to the wrong person for that.Your accusations against me hold no water.
The other is that as long as cell division and multiplication is going on, the fetus is growing. If it’s growing, taking in nutrients to do so, respiring in the way that is natural to it, it’s alive.
The Bible says that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Until there is blood there is not life per the Bible.
All kinds of organisms undergo the process you describe but the Bible says that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Plants may be alive but until someone shows me different, they do not have the same kind of life that mammals do.
It seems that you want to reject scripture because it does not fit with your beliefs.
You haven't seen me write anything disrespectful towards early stage human fetus or even suggest that they aren't human.
What I have suggested is that if these cells do not carry blood then there is no life as described by the Bible. If you not like that then maybe you need to get the wrtings changed to suit your beliefs!
