Here's one I'm curious about. The opponents of abortion usually believe that life begins at conception and are often evangelical Christians.
yet consider this:
Genesis 9:4 - But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Leviticus 17:11 - For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
Evidently the Bible states that life is the blood, that there is no life without blood. Yet in a gesgating fetus there is no blood prior to 14 days (probably later), and the heart does not start beating until around 22 days. Doesn't this mean the fetus is not alive according to the Bible prior to 14 days? That life does not begin at conception according to the Bible?
Doesn't this also mean any morning-after {or} abortion pill {used prior to the 14-22 day period after conception} is therefore OK according to the Bible?
