You are all over the place, Zebulon. Sometimes I think you should be banned for promoting non-Christian values, other times you (seem) to make sense. On what are your values based?Zebulon wrote:and a fetus is just cells coming together to form a person, but it is not a person yet. It does not feel, it does not think, it does not rationalize, it does nothing but suck on resources and it is uncapable to do anything else.
Frankly this guy has jello as brain.
New ultrasound techniques - 3D and 4D scans are opening up a unique portal on the miracle of life that starts with just a single egg and a single sperm. With remarkable findings revealing that the foetus dreams, jumps, sucks it thumb, open it eyes and reacts to pain far earlier that ever realised before. The essential senses, hearing and seeing also develop far earlier that we had ever realised...
...Even at this early stage (less than 2 months)the foetus responds to stimulation — when prodded its tiny hands will close...
...At about 9 weeks the foetus starts announcing its existence with a series of leaps, using the walls of the uterus like a trampoline.
Okay mom here it goes Boum boum boum
Read it all it is very ...wonderfull!

Never mind the people skills, your communication skills are in perfect order-Bravo!Fürstentum Liechtenstein wrote:Yes...any woman looking to have an abortion would probably not be swayed by biblical arguments anyway. Well...maybe biblical arguments would work in the Bible Belt of the USA, but not where I come from: a tragic traffic accident left a young woman dead and killed her unborn baby as well after a reckless driver hit her. Predictably, average citizens found the event tragic, especially since the woman was pregnant.cslewislover wrote: I, however, would counsel a woman against having an abortion for quite a few reasons, and those seemingly having to do with love more than biblical discernment.
My own reaction was different. When a pro-choice person expressed sorrow at the death of the unborn baby, I said «The baby? nah!...that's just a blob of protoplasm!» After they got over the shock of my answer, I confronted them: «a fetus is a human being wether it is wanted or not. Killing that human fetus is wrong either way. Do you understand?»
Not one person has yet said that they understood. They have just walked away. (Maybe I should work on my people skills...)

Ho sorry and who are you to judge my Christian values? Do I judge you because you belong to a sect (and I care not to juge it as it is often declared so) that promote Christianity? I do not belong to any Christian church or Christian group. That does not make me any less Christian than you are.Fürstentum Liechtenstein wrote:

Why do you ask? So you can juge if I am fit to continue to participate in the Foum as compared to what your values are?Fürstentum Liechtenstein wrote:On what are your values based?
Yes and there is many, many Christian doctrines.zoegirl wrote:Zebulon,
There are very clear teachings for the Christian doctrine.
Should I ask any of Jehovas Withness if they are saved, and they will probably say yes.zoegirl wrote:What do believe a person needs to do to be saved? Or does a person need salvation?
So you, Zoegirl, please tell me about it.zoegirl wrote:What do believe a person needs to do to be saved? Or does a person need salvation?
Amen!zoegirl wrote:Zebulon,
why are you avoiding the question?
Does a person need salvation? Does sin prevent a right relationship with God?
What do you think the Bible says about salvation (but, according to you, the Bible is notreliable....so how do you determine this?)
And no, Jehovh's witnesses are not CHristian. They deny the trinity and the divinity of Christ.
There is a very good section on the main page called the Beliefs...
Every accepted, mainstream, orthodox Christian denomination would accept these..

As well as aberrant beliefs
AS for my answers.
HTe bIble is the infallible Word of God.
Mankind is sinful, we cannot have a right relationship with God.
Christ came to redeem us, died on the cross, and rose again from the dead on the third day
CHrist calls us to believe on Him and have faith in His redeeming work on the cross.
NO other pathway brings us to God. NO other religion provides the answer.
