You really don't like reading what other's write or you have an inability to process information.
Playing with a fetus doesn’t constitute a human being. That was my point.
Yes, I know that you shifted the "goal post". As I said.
I used the example of me playing with my unborn children to combat your claim that children in the womb
are not alive and are just
tissue.
The
fact that I can play with my children while they are in the womb is
proof positive that they are
alive!
Whether or not they are human is the topic of another discussion, which I am willing to have, after you
admit that your earlier statement was
wrong and that unborn children are
alive in the womb.
BZZZZZZZZZT!! Thanks for playing.
The word nephesh means “soul.” Biblically (which is obviously the grounds for your argument), only human beings have souls, and that soul is imparted when the baby draws breath. That’s what makes it a “living being.” Twisting words to fit a particular preconceived notion doesn’t help.
You cannot be any more incorrect.
Many words in Hebrew have multiple meanings.
Nephesh can be translated as "soul", but it has also been used to describe "mind", "person", "being", "will", "character", "emotions", "appetites", "self", "creature" etc.
The word has even been used to described disembodied spirits.
Not to mention that
nephesh was also used in Genesis to describe many types of
animals, so you are wrong on all accounts.
You’ve never been raped and been forced to carry the child.
No, I haven't and that is completely irrelevant to what I said.
When you claim that child birth is an act of violence, you are
also claiming that the unborn child is the
perpetrator of that violence and is therefore committing an
immoral act or breaking a law.
That makes no sense.
I also never claimed that a pregnant woman should be
forced to do anything, so let's add yet another irrelevant point you made to this discussion.
I just mentioned them. For some people, a pregnancy will cause death. For some, the fetus will be in physical jeopardy.
Why are you applying what I said about your argument for termination of pregnancies that are the product of rape to other comments you made?
Let's try to stay coherent, ok?
I shared a list with you about situations where the Lord allows for the possibility of the termination of pregnancy, which included rape, threat of death to the mother and the maladies had by the unborn child.
Each situation would need to be prayerfully thought out.
Unless the mother is a drug addict and a smoker and isn’t well enough to quit, and knows it.
There isn't much anyone can do about that, is there?
Well, except teaching her truth about God, herself and her unborn child.
You'd be surprised how fast people can change when they come to understand and appreciate truth.
So why are you an enabler of destructive behavior?
It’s not a “living being” until it draws breath... biblically speaking, that is.
Fake news.
Adam's spirit was a
nephesh before he was placed into his physical body.
The moment his spirit entered into his physical body he was described as a "living
nephesh."
The moment his spirit left his physical body in death his disembodied spirit and his deceased physical body could both be described as
nephesh.
If you had actually read what I wrote, you’d already know that I said it only takes one for the legality to be justified.
Where did you get this idea from?
