Bible Note: 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 |
