I would suggest looking at ‘life is in the blood’ as a true or false statement.
I’ll go with true because God had it put there in the scriptures.
Any nit picking and hair splitting on my part will lean towards the ‘true’ selection, not making the statement false.
And yes, I’m very aware of the significance of blood in the Bible from representing life to its part in convenents.
Although I’ve been accused of it, I’ve never said that abortion is anything but wrong.
But I don’t believe that the Bible supports it always as murder.
I’m pretty sure that it can be wrong and not be murder although some have specifically told me that if it isn’t murder then it isn’t wrong.
The verse says specifically “The life OF THE FLESH is in the blood...”
That which sustains the FLESH is the blood. That is also biologically true.
Now, is the “life of the flesh” the ONLY life that is within a human being?
