Life Begins at Conception

Numerous, previous postings from him, but in this case the mocking of a well established Biblical position that man is born into sin.

From what I can see (and forgive me if I am wrong) angellous_evangellous has Christian as his religion, but I just saw the (Full of Sin - Whoot!) post as having some fun. And being religious doesn't mean we can't have a laugh, does it?

It may be be well established but you`d be surprised how many Christians don`t believe in the doctrine of original sin in such a manner.

"And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls..." Exodus 2:5 They were souls before they were even impregnated into their mother.

Don't you think you are taking the passage a little too literally?

No life is sacred, but all life is important, something homo sapiens has unfortunately forgotten in its wholesale destruction of other species worldwide.

That can be dangerous. I mean if we took "Jacob knew his wife" literally, we would come to a completely different conclusion. ;)

Is there any biblical basis for the claim that life begins at conception?

Darkness,
There are several scriptures that indicate that God knows that life begins at conception, Ps 139:13-16.
Consider how God spoke about Jeremiah when he was in his mothers belly, Jere 1:4,5.
Proof positive iis found at Ex 21:22,23. We are toold that if two men were fighting and they caused the death of a baby by premature birth, the man responsilbe should be put to death. The Mosaic Law required a life for a life.
Think about Jesus, who was transferred to the womb of Mary, by God. This is a very good indication that life begins in the womb for mankind. Of course Jesus was alive in heaven billions of years before he came to earth, Luke 1:32-35, Col 1:15, Rev 3:14, Prov 8:22-31.

Really?
Let us see...

Ps 139:13-16.
These verses have absolutely nothing to do with conception.
The speak of God knowing you whilst in the womb.

Consider how God spoke about Jeremiah when he was in his mothers belly, Jere 1:4,5.
This says nothing about how life begins at conception.
it is merely God claiming to have known you before conception.

Proof positive iis found at Ex 21:22,23.
No it isn't.
Not even close.
There is absolutely nothing here to support your blatantly false claim that the Bible supports life begins at conception.

In fact, I can use this verse to to show the Bible supports that life began a long long time ago and is a continuous ongoing process.

We are toold that if two men were fighting and they caused the death of a baby by premature birth, the man responsilbe should be put to death. The Mosaic Law required a life for a life.
Yet is says ABSOLUTELY nothing about when that life began...

Think about Jesus, who was transferred to the womb of Mary, by God. This is a very good indication that life begins in the womb for mankind. Of course Jesus was alive in heaven billions of years before he came to earth, Luke 1:32-35, Col 1:15, Rev 3:14, Prov 8:22-31.
the verses listed here in this particular quote bubble, though they do tend to support the claims in that particular quote bubble, have absolutely nothing to say about life beginning at conception.


It seems to me that you have to engage in some rather interesting gymnastics to get these verses you presented to even imply that life begins at conception, let alone what is needed to say that they do make such a claim.
