1 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Reighnskye | 133592 | ||
Believer, If we do not view God as the ultimate creator of clones, then we do not view God as the sovereign creator of all things. James 1 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (KJV) - Further, I suggest that there are four primary components to consciousness, wherein we may accurately ascertain if a person or being (or a clonal replicant in this case) possesses a conscious soul. The four components of soulish consciousness are as follows: 1. Intellect: the capacity for thought, reasoning and mathematical analysis. 2. Emotion: the capacity to experience happiness and sorrow, anger and fear, along with a vast plethora of associative emotions. 3. Volition: the capacity to make strategic and tactical plans and decisions, in regards to the locomotion of the physical body. 4. Conscience: the capacity to operate by an inner moral awareness, in relation to others around us. And I have not even referenced here the components of physical material consciousness. Ecclesiastes 3 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? (KJV) - Lastly, the very last verse that you had referenced to me, in your position against the soulish validity of clones, seems to be a vast over-extension in the application of scripture. The following scripture does not refer to cloning. Matthew 15 13 But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. (NAS95) It appears to me by your usage of this text, that you believe that the living awareness of clones will somehow be uprooted? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

You are making the assumption that clones are a good thing. You are also leaving the most important way to tell whether a thing is a human or not, and that is it's ability to Love and Worship the lord. This has nothing to do with science, but creation. You can not assume that clones come from God. To do so is to assume that every manmade thing is made because He wants it made, such as the tower of Babel and false gods, nuclear bombs, etc. He allows humans to do what they do so He can fulfill His plans. There is no way anyone can possibly think a clone is made of God. He does not breathe the breath of life in them, they are grown in a laboratory, not in the womb. If this was a good thing, He could have made Jesus in the same way. Which is ridiculous! He used the way He made and excepted to bring a child into this world, and it wasn't cloning. I think that IF clones are allowed, they will be aware, be able to think and ACT like a human, but have no soul with which to interact with GOD in any way. They will have no conscious to slow them down or make them feel guilt or sorrow. As I said, these are my opinions, as well as what you have given me is your opinion, not biblical truth. As for the verse in Matt., I only said it could be referring to something not human, not specifically cloning.What do you think it means? Having a clone, who I believe will not have a conscious, would be the perfect vehicle for demons to freely enter. GOD BLESS! Misty |

Misty, I agree that you are making assumptions here. I did however give a verse reference for my belief. It's up to you if you want to go with that or not. I'll not force the argument. I might suggest that it would be good for you to provide verse references, rather than simpy trying to press a perspective on extra-biblical basis. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
