Being a believer, I assume you know that the soul is NOT present until birth, according to the bible?
If so, you must also be pro-life with regards to *every living thing* regardless of the presence of a soul?
What do you eat, may I ask? Cabbages that have died a natural death??

Luke Can Waltz: Aww, bless! Which part of "regardless of the presence of.." did you not understand?
Were those words too big for you? Sorry 'bout that...

Sigh...I should have realised christians very rarely know their own religion.
"God states that before we are even born that he knows our name and he has counted every hair on our heads" This is correct. This is because he can SEE THE FUTURE(allegedly, but for the sake of argument, let's say he can) This is reference NOT to him knowing us in the womb(did you know, embryo's don't have hair?) but knowing us when we are born!
I suggest you actually READ your bibles, christians...it kinda helps, y'know! SHEESH!

Where in the Bible does it say that the Soul is not present until Birth? Every Bible says the soul is the blood and that it dies with the body. Since the blood stream is developed right after the heart, the first thing to be developed, that would mean the soul is developed within the first few weeks. Also, everything with blood has a soul. When the Jews were to sacrifice the lamb on the Alter of the most holy, they were to first slit its throat and allow its soul to pour out on the ground. And before you think it, the Spirit of Life we share with all forms of life, one not being greater than the other.

On the contrary, When women are in pain because of the deliveration of the baby, and when she has given birth....a life was brought OUT to this world.....I believe they are already alive meaning even when they are in the womb...
Man becomes a living soul...when God's spirit is present in the mortal body. The baby has already a body and is alive whether you like it or not, while at his mother's womb. Otherwise, you will have a dead baby at delivery. Makes sense?
Yes i eat cabbages, and i don't think it has to die before i eat it anyway.

The Body And The Spirit together form the soul
When your spirit leaves your body you die.
A Mother Can Feel her child kicking within her womb
Therefore the spirit is already there within the growing child
It's your spirit that makes you move , the spirit enters long before the child draws it's first breath.
It is a terrible sin to abort innocent children from the womb,they need our love and protection, not agression i.e. ripping their limbs off or poisining them by saline ....not indifference i.e they are only tissue.....as if they feel no pain at all when they are aborted.
What is wrong with you? seriously ?
God made vegetables for us to eat , you go off on on quite a tangent in some of your thought processes .

I am not a pro-lifer, but would be interested in the exact passages that makes you assume everyone should KNOW that the soul isn't present until birth. At what part of the birth process does the soul appear? There's a bit of Bible also that says animals were put here for our use; and that food for us is provided. Yuck, cabbage that has died a natural death! Oh the smell of it.

Actually, the Bible no where states what you claim.
However what it does state in Luke 1:41 is that John the Baptist, who was in his own mother's womb at the time, lept in joy when Elizabeth heard Mary's voice. Which indicates quite obviously that John the Baptist was in full posession of his soul while he was in his mother's womb.
So, in answer to your question, cabbage doesn't have a soul. Human beings in their mother's wombs do.

What makes you think the soul is not created until birth? Don't you know that it says in the Bible that God knew each of us before we were born? In fact, He knew us before He created the Universe. Here's some scripture to refute your claim of the soul not being present prior to birth:
Jeremiah 1:4-5 4 ¶ Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Psalms 119:73 ¶ JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
Psalms 139:13-16 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
You don't like being called an idiot, yet you continue to spout this idiotic drivel. You do not present any scripture to back up your claims. As for what I eat ... the ONLY beings with souls are humans. Animal and plant life do not have souls. If you are not prolife, the least you can do is come up with some realistic arguments.

Psalm 139
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Awe, but the word tells us that God knew us before we were in our mother's womb. That must mean the the soul was at least known before birth???? Just a little something to consider.

I don't think you are accurate in that statement, nor do I think that the Bible teaches that. What you are totally ignoring is the spirit of man which is differenet than the soul, and the Bible does teach that, which orginated from the breath of God being breathed into man. It does not exist in animals and certainly not in vegatables. Killing a creature with a spirit (humans) is what we are not to do.

Uh, I think the moment that unborn baby is given life (at conception) it has a soul, even if it is an inch long. As for cabbage, what the HECK. Vegetables do NOT have souls...
