antelope_sniper & Gus,
I'm still waiting for the chapters and verses you boys mentioned are found in the Bible where the soul enters at the point of birth and anything that supports abortion. We, Bible thumpers, don't need explanations, just the references, please.
please correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't believe i ever said it was stated in the bible. there's a lot of hebrew traditon and traditional teaching that Moses and others didn't record directly in the bible, i believe.
i think that tradtionally speaking, it's long been thought by old-school proponents of the hebrew history is that the soul enters the physical body at the first intake of breath (inspiration). the soul probably existed much sooner than conception, or could have.
in early genesis, there's reference to God breathing into the clay, and a human became. but, i'm not sure if that is helpful or not.
lot's of interpretations out there. more than one in fact. and i still maintain that's a good thing.
