1 | Clones | Genesis | vacindak | 12973 | ||
It really isn't so much a "think" as a "know". Identical twins and clones are essentially the same thing, except that clones are generally defined as being an artificial created genetic replica. Here's something to think about: If we create a clone, didn't God allow it to occur? We wouldn't even be able to do it if God wasn't allowing it. Please note however, that allowing something and approving of something are two totally different things. God respects us as humans enough to give us free will. If we are foolish enough to go against God's clear plan for natural birth within the family unit, God won't get in our way, but he still won't be terribly happy about it either. But if it were a truely aweful terrible abominable thing that couldn't be allowed by a righteous and holy God, would we even be able to successfully clone anyone? If that were the case, those scientists would likely run into an insurmountable impass such as genetic degradation from the copying process. I suggest that it is quite simply not something we should worry about at all. Clones *will* have souls and should they ever be created, are just as equally able to put their faith in our blessed and forgiving Lord Jesus Christ. After all, we were all born guilty. The last thing we need is to have a new kind of "racial" prejudice perpetrated by the very people who are supposed to be demonstrating Christ-like love towards the people around them, especially when there is no justifiable cause for it. |

2 | Clones | Genesis | kalos | 12983 | ||
Thank you for your reply. But I am afraid that you did not really answer my question as I asked it. For starters, humans don't "create" anything in the biblical sense of the word, i.e. not in the same sense in which God created. If a clone is an artifical genetic replica and a twin is not artificial, then the two are NOT the same thing. Let's try this again. This is the second time I've said this. "Adam and Eve are the only two humans EVER to be created. We are not created. We are born. God does not repeat the act of creation every time another human comes into the world. Scripture nowhere supports such a notion." You are the one who originally used the word "think." Whether you "know" is debatable. I counted at least four occurences of the word "if" in your previous post. As I said, you have not answered my question. What scientific information AND what scriputral information do you have to back up your assertions? That is, quote or cite scientific reference(s) AND passages of scripture to support what you said in your earlier post. I saw quotations from neither works of science nor from the Bible in your most recent post. No disrespect intended. But I would like to see evidence (with the source(s) of the quote(s) plainly given. I.e., give us the author, title, publisher, page number, and copyright year that backs up your claims.) Thank you in advance for your cooperation. --JVH |

3 | How many humans created? | Genesis | Reformer Joe | 12991 | ||
This is off-topic, but one of your statements brings up an interesting question that I have had. You wrote: "Adam and Eve are the only two humans EVER to be created." My question is, Do you consider the conception of our Lord Jesus in the womb of Mary to be another instance of the creation of a human. God the Son was pre-existent of course, but His "earthly tent" wasn't. I myself lean toward the idea that God supernaturally created a new human zygote "ex nihilo", which would make him the Second Adam in a very real sense. It would also deal with the question of how Christ in his humanity would have no "original sin," since he would not be the genetic descendent of Mary (if, indeed, the physical body plays any role in the transmission of the curse at all). Just idle speculation, of course. What do you think? --Joe! |

4 | How many humans created? | Genesis | jlpangilinan | 12996 | ||
Hi there, I'm interested in what you have mentioned (Christ in his humanity would have no "original sin," ) of course Jesus Christ has no Original sin Becuase he is God. Philippians 2:6-7 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and also ordinary people has no original sin Please see those verses Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. |
