1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

[JCarlWilson]

Our Father in Heaven, I pray for all the unborn babies in the womb and children that You protect them from the evil one and the evils of this world. I pray that their mothers show them the love that You intended, this I pray in Jesus name, Amen

Jeremiah 1:4-5 KJV
Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, [5] Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
>>something more to think about, before ending a innocent life.

The Bible and science teaches us life starts at conception. Abortion is a practice that puts value on people. If you are an inconvenience then you have zero value therefore are aborted. If the mother values her child she won’t kill her child. Our world over and over has devalued human life. It’s very sad and is apart of many many horrors and tears. A country is not define by how it treats animals but by how it treats their enemies. Jesus Christ tried to teach us this. To value all life, no matter the cost.

Now when you take a real good look at this text, what is God "NOT SAYING"? He is not saying, "I knew you WHEN you were IN THE WOMB. He is saying, "I knew you BEFORE you were in the womb" In other words, before you were conceived. So, if you are going to take this text literally, It means you would have to believe in the PRE-EXISTANCE of the soul. You would have to believe that people exist before they are conceived.
So we have to conclude that this text is a metaphor. It's symbolic language indicating that Jeremiah was destined to be a prophet.

If human life begins at conception, why is Exodus 21:22 a civil case and not a criminal case? Why doesn't the perpetrator get exiled, as stated in verse 13 and explained further in Numbers 35:22-25?

[ConservativeMirror]

Jeremiah 1 : 5 says that God knew Jeremiah even before Jeremiah was formed in his mother's womb. Surely it's not referring to when life begins here, or do you think life begins before conception?

In Pslam 139 verse 13, the knitting in my mother's womb doesn't answer the question of if life begins here. It could just be when the body is forming.

[Tadrjbs]

Yes, as a matter of FACT, a birth takes 9 months & 8 days according to God's Word.

[bradleywoods]

I 100% agree with this video and it's conclusion. You show how the Bible says life begins at conception. However, you cite 0 scientific literature. If you going to quote "science, " you should give us the references. A non-beleiver watching this video will instantly call you out and this. Again, I don't disagree with the conclusion, but the lack of scientific citations limits the videos credibility.

[savannahhiggins]

but none of that says we are living humans or have our souls at conception. It says god knows us but he knows the dead and evil but he isn't dead or evil. Knowing isn't being.

What does the bible say about distorting scripture?

How can "days ordained" already written in the Book before any came to pass;

RELATE to spontaneously ABORTED/MISCARRIED CONCEPTIONS?

[martymoose]

Genesis 2:7-9 .. God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man BECAME A LIVING SOUL. The body was already created from the dust but only BECAME a living soul once it breathed!!

[torreyintahoe]

This is false information. In the OT and the NT life was considered to start at either the first breath or at the quickening depending on what era we are referring to. Life was not considered to begin at conception until the 19th century.

[denniswakabayashi]

In the Book of Jeremiah,

How can spontaneously aborted/miscarried conceptions RELATE to "ordained thee and sanctified thee"?

[acircharo]

NO, it doesn't teach that. As usual for a Christian apologist, you have to LIE to get there and you never hesitate to do so! Sounds like a great "faith"!
