Powderman,
No apology necessary, I think we've all got lives beyond these computers & certainly apreciate your taking the time to find the quote. :grin:
My only question (I havent looked up the passage yet) is was God speaking of Jerimiah in perticular as the way I read it in the post he took perticular interest in Jerimiah & brought him forth as a prophet. It also says "Before I formed thee in the belly" giving me the impresion that Jerimiah was destined to be what he was even before actual conception happened. I hope this doesn't come across wrong as I'm certainly not trying to pick it apart but trying to be sure I have a firm grasp on what God was trying to communicate.
Although it may be hard for you & others to relate to, Religiously, acording to the morals & beliefs I was raised by abortion is a sin & not something I aprove of.
That aside, as I have said earlier & somebody in another thread said better than I could, these are MY beliefs & even if I find that I accept the idea that God sees conception as the begining of life I wont presume to hold others to my beliefs & morals. Just as I wouldnt allow their beliefs & morals to corrupt my life. :-)
Jesus said not to judge others lest you be judged & to me this is an important bit of wisdom. :wink:
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone also comes to mind.
Lemme go now & see what my bible says.
