I had already disabled the comments and deleted some of them before I saw a suggestion by someone to do so. I invite debate and differences of opinion until it turns into character-bashing and name-calling. I would ask those of you who can't comment without using profanity to stop commenting. Those of you who have a hatred for fundamentalism and enjoy expressing that here--same message. There are plenty of "snarky blogs" for people who enjoy tearing down the beliefs of others for fun. This isn't the place. All in love, Kelly I have been away from my computer (I do have a life ;-) ) and was very disheartened when I returned to check comments.

This is at least partly metaphorical, and I've already spoken about God knowing who will be BORN before their time. It seems some just don't listen.

So much I want to say! This subject is a passion of mine! I've written on it on my blog many times! I however, will leave one simple comment by restating a vastly overlooked fact Kelly (WW) pointed out earlier! “Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.” Hebrews 7:9,10 LOINS! He (a man) met another being (a man) when he was still in his father's loin! He wasn't even a clump of cells or a zygote! He was a sperm yet realeased to his mother's egg! If this human man knew or met this other human man when he was still in the loin, how much sooner does God know this man & his soul?!?! His life seems to exhist before conception! What a thought! Why did God feel it important to reaveal to the Author that this man was known by another man while he was still in his father's loin?!? Most likly to make it blantinly obvious in times such as these, that God alone creates life! That there is no point where life begins that humans can measure ( like conception or a heart beat) God brings to very specific people together to create the DNA he had planned! He brings them together to create the baby he has planned! So gods definition of life may have a beging at the point he brings the people together! God does NOT remain quiet on the birthcontrol or abortion issues! He is loud and clear! Some just choose not to listen to or see His word! Wow! So much I want to say!

I am sure those of us with a passion for life and what God says about it will never loose heart! thank you for the encouragement to press on. Jennifer-if your defensiveness is from sheer conviction please defend it biblically and scientifically. so far every one of your points have been clearly and repeatedly shown to be in error on both counts. thank you No Name.

What a cute victimization drama. “I’m right, see I’m right, and look, once again I’m right, because I’m right…Right??”

The whole time they are trying to "defend" the battle rages within them...."I'm right, see I'm right, and look, once again I'm right, because I'm right...Right??" I pray no one looses heart by standing by the choice of LIFE through this comment thread. God can use your words to reach even the coldest, most stubborn, hardest of hearts.

I'm sorry you persist on thinking I'm a bitter unahppy woman, but whatever; pray your heart out.

I know it makes it easier to justify or explain to say you are only defending others you say are being attacked but it doesn't make it accurate.
