Rear is wisdom? Dude...
Rear is wisdom let him who understand count the number or calculator the number.
Wow that went right over your head. Im running out of ways to explain this point. I dont use any group (majority / minority) to establish a point.
I actually am going by what the bible says, here they are again:
strange you keep ignoring these facts
Are you being serious, are you really suggesting im presenting my own words as scripture? Lets look again:
do you see where i wrote "space" i even made a line "-------------" , now i didnt have that in before but i added that to let you know there was a space there. that means the passage is over and the next words are my comments on the passage. make sense?
and here we are back to you establishing facts based on what mormons think. so anytime we read the bible we have to run and find a mormon and find out what they think, see how dumb that sounds? i have no idea what mormons believe, like i said before (3rd time now) i dont let groups do the thinking for me. i would advise against it being as you will always be changing your mind based on what group your currently with at that moment.
the fact of the matter is the bible says our spirit goes "back" to where it came from. it goes back to its point of origin which is the Most High. this point of origin is where the soul existed before it was given. now if the bible said our spirit vanished into thin air because it never existed until we were born, you would have a valid argument, however no scripture says this.
here are some fun facts on pre existence. in the days of Jesus and the 12, these are the different sects that believed in pre existence:
Pharisees
Zealots
Essenes - (John the Baptist)
Nazoreans - (Jesus)
only one sect i klnow that rejected this idea and that was the Sadducee, they believed in no pre existence, no heavens, no angels, no afterlife. very dark hopeless sect, sound so much like atheist of today. if my thoughts lined up with these guys i would be very worried.
it was not until imperial rome came along, killed Jesus, killed and imprisoned most of the 12, killed St Paul, took over the faith and made many changes. pre existence would be one of those changes.
why dont you correct me where i am wrong.You make absolutely no sense. Your expressed thoughts are so disjointed and your "logic" is so not logical that it is difficult to know how to counter what you offer, which is actually no defense at all.
You can't even spell Nazarenes correctly.
A simple space between where scripture ends and you insert your own commentary doesn't tell anyone reading the thread that you inserted your own nonsensical crap at the end. That is not how anyone posts scripture when they want it understood. I place a line before, and after any scripture I post. I post scripture in a different color so no one will mistake what I post as being scripture. Evidently, that is too much to ask of you. You are too lazy to do that, just as you are too lazy to use simple capitalization.
I am not attempting to establish facts off of what Mormons believe.
few believe in it today and IMO the faith is in very bad shape with few good teachers. most teachers dont even teach what they have learned from the scriptures or what the spirit leads them, they teach what seminary tells them to teach.And how can you even make the statement when you claim to know nothing about what they believe? Very few sects believe in pre-existence, but here you are shilling it out on a forum. Then you take the jump that most people who buy in to some hopeless, false theology go: The ad hominem attack. I am not a Mormon, and I am not a Catholic, so so far, your ad hominems are dropping spent shells in places that are not even close to me.
Entertain me. Defend the concept of abortion using scripture, and nothing else. Including your own non-deferentially marked personal commentary.
Because according to your own stunning logic, Jeremiah was lying when he said God knew him before he was ever conceived.
then why do you keep bringing them up?

4th time:
life begins with breath, it ends with breath. a baby does not begin to breath until its born.
life does not begin until it receives a soul, we receive our soul at first breath.
how many generations are counted in the bible, many of them, does the generations begin at conception, no, they begin when the child is born.
when Eve says "the Most High gave me a man child" did she say this at conception or birth? answer is birth.
do we have conception days or birth days? answer is birth day because thats when life begins.
the Most High says He knew Jeremiah before he was even formed in the womb, that means IMO before he was ever in the womb. do you think Jeremiah was a human somewhere else before he was formed in the womb?
No I didnt ignore, if so show me where.I have. You ignore it and go off on another tangent, which is the mark of someone who can put things out there, but not actually defend them. Show me actual scripture that supports pre-existence.
It is also a doctrine of the Nazoreans (sect of Jesus) and the Essenes (John the baptist) but what do they know right lol.I keep bringing it up because pre-existence is a Mormon doctrine. You are forwarding a Mormon doctrine and pointing to some flaky websites that have no bona fides. Since you also cannot be up-front about where you are getting this doctrine, that makes your schilling of it suspect. Doctrine doesn't come out of a vacuum.
Really?? and where can I read more about that in the bible, book of speculations?A baby could not move about in the womb without a soul.
Never said the baby was not alive, I said it was not fully formed. is a half built house the same as a complete home.A baby is already alive before it leaves the womb. To claim otherwise is ludicrous. And according to your own theory, part of "life" begins before conception even occurs because the person is a dis-embodied spirit floating around in the Ether waiting for a body to inhabit. So you contradict yourself.
That may be but it has nothing to do with pre existance. The fact remains Jeremiah was known by the Most High before he was formed in the womb, if He didnt exist before he was formed what did the Most High know, an idea, im guessing you will not have an answer to that one as well. the scripture does not say the Most High knew he was going to be born, it says he (Jeremiah) was known. there had to be something to know.No. Since God is outside of time, not confined by it, He knows every person who will ever be born, before they are ever conceived and has known them since the moment of creation.
No , I was doing the math and Trumps followers are at one third. there are 350 million Americans. Divide one third by 350 million. See what you get... LOL...
