If you are interested I'll send you a set of the tapes (3) in which I present an exposition of Psa 139 and set this text in context.
FReepmail me your address and I'll send them gratis.
Steve, what you're saying is that the soul had no existence prior to the union of the parents. I knew you had to believe that.
One doesn't have a relationship with one who does not exist in any real capacity. Even a husband, knowing that his wife will potentially have his children, and being certain of that, does not have a "relationship" with his children. He might yearn for them, and love the thought of them, and imagine being a parent to them, but all of these words are ANTICIPATORY of a reality.
When the reality comes to pass THAT is when the relationship has substance.
