I would call it a biblical concept.Originally posted by Deacon:

What about molar, tubal or fetus in fetu pregnancies? They involve human sperm fertilizing human eggs, but there is no way they will ever become an actual human (or horse or gorilla, etc.)Originally posted by Debby in Philly:
Both.
I makes only common sense to me that since a human egg fertilized with a human sperm cell will become what is recognizable as a human baby 9 months later and not a gorilla or frog, means it's human from the start. And humans have souls.
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
It doesn't say bear a horse, it says son.
I know the physical pain was horrid, and that the physical pain was the least traumatic part of the experience.Originally posted by Calvibaptist:

An ectopic pregnancy has no bearing on what a pregnancy is, simply where it's located. An unborn child that loses its life was still an unborn human.Originally posted by James Flagg:

Is it actually a "life" in these cases? [/QB]

A small group of us are revising our church's constitution (which includes the Statement of Faith).Why do you ask? if you do not mind me asking.
I think the biblical view is simple: life is a gift from God; we should honor it.What we believe about Life
Man is created in God’s likeness and each human being is precious to Him.
Scriptures record that He knew each of us even before we were conceived.
Life is a sacred gift that we are to protect and honor.
All children, no matter their age, appearance, physical or mental challenges, race, born or unborn, are of priceless value and of great worth; they are our heritage from God.
Scripture makes no distinction between the termination of life before birth or after an individual is born and clearly condemns murder.
(Genesis 1:27; Psalm 127:3-5; Ephesians 1:4; Exodus 21:22–25; John 3:16; Psalm 139:13-14)
