1 | When is abortion right? | Ex 21:23 | CDBJ | 74690 | ||
Hello polarbeardog 2, now there is a real handle, how did you arrive at that for a name? I think the answer to your question would be easer to resolve if it where clearly established when a human being actually received the human soul, clearly separating biological from soul life. I have wrestled with the same thought that you have; most on the forum will jump to an answer more out of a conditioned response then from a clear explanation of why. Adam didn’t become a living soul until he was breathing on his own. He received this breath through his nostrils. Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. He had the format of the soul but the word breath (neshamah) was actually the spark of soul life. This will probable raise some hackles, CDBJ |

Greetings CDBJ! May I throw another curve ball to this discussion? :-) The creation acount doesn't say that Adam 'received' a soul. It says that he became a living soul (Gen. 2:7). So, I would be hard pressed to accept that babies only become human when they take a breath of air. They are clearly living before that time. They have their own unique DNA. They have their own finger prints. They have their own (in some cases) different blood types. They have brain waves while still in the womb. They move (as I can attest)! :-) The list goes on and on. The only thing that really changes from prior to birth and after birth is the baby's location. Of course, they get harder to take care of as well! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
