Do any of the major religions talk about life before conception?

Question

They all talk about going to heaven/getting your 99 virgins after you die (assuming you have been a good person/martyr) but for god to give a full description of "everything" surely it is necessary for him/her to provide an explanation of what happened to us before we were conceived in our mother's wombs. Is there any such description in the bible or Koran etc?

And if, following on from that, the bible/koran etc says we were not in existance at that time, then why should we continue to be in existance (in heaven or hell etc) after we die?

Answer 1

Don't worry about when you die because you wasn't here to begin with!!!!

Answer 2

You are wrong. Which Christian religion says that someone will get 99 virgins? What Jesus said:
"For when they rise again from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in Heaven."
(Mar 12:25)
They will be spirit, not flesh.
Unfortunately, most of religious of our days don't ask for the Holy Spirit of God, or think that He is just like a natural inpiration.
But He is much more than that! Only who feel Him can say about His supernatural love!
I'm writing about a living esperience!
The only true interpretation of the Bible is by the Spirit.
"who also made us able ministers of a new covenant, not of letter, but of Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive." 2Co 3:6
If you fell Him some day, then you will know what I'm saying about. Then you will know I'm not crazy!
Search Him! Look for Him! Ask for Him!
If you do the same things, you will have the same results.
God bless you.

Answer 3

The Vedic Literature clearly explains that we (the spirit souls) fall down in the rain and take shelter first in the grains. When males (of any specie) eats grains then the spirit soul goes into the semen. Each sperm carries an spirit soul and only one out of millions reaches the egg and becomes an entity within the womb of a female. So, yes, life begins way before conception.

Answer 4

I believe that the mormon cult dose... if I remember the recruting stuff I was given long ago... that is why the mormon women have to have a many babies as they can to give the unborn spirits a body or some such noncence.... that is not a Christian teaching... I don't think the muslims thik that either but not sure

Answer 5

Jeremiah 1:4-5

4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;

The Bible doesn't say you get 99 virgins.

Answer 6

muslims are satin worshipers. Not Christians. They are killers and haters. They please only satin by teaching their children to hate and kill and believe a sinful lie that by killing themselves and others will earn them virgins.

Christianity is the true religion that God blesses in the world and does not have anything to do with satin.There is a Christian faith that believe they live with God prior to their time on earth. Mormons.

The bible is available for you to read. If you are interested and want answers, you really need to take time out of your life and read it. It is a book that requires a great deal of study to understand and like anything else important in your life you should take the time to learn all you can for your self. You are worth it.

Answer 7

No, it is not necessary for God to explain ANYTHING to us, let alone EVERYTHING.

The only religion that i know of that says there are spirits before conception is Mormonism, that says the spirit babies in Heaven are anxious to be born so they can get busy working their way back into heaven with the bodies they need.

Answer 8

Reincarnation based faiths do - such as Buddism.
Old European Pagan faiths sometimes did also. This came from the nature(Seasonal and cyclic) based beliefs.

Answer 9

Hindus and some Buddhists do. There are also some Christians who cite scripture where God says "before you were in the womb I knew you," and say that that indicates pre-conception life.

No doubt this is not an exhaustive list.

Answer 10

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has some very firm beliefs about this, I have provided some info taken from their website...and provided the link also. It's interesting to say the least...

Where did I come from?

You didn’t suddenly spring into existence the moment you were born.
You were happy in Heavenly Father’s presence, but He knew that you needed more in order to progress. You did not have a physical body like you do now, and you needed a chance to gain experience on your own—away from His presence, but with the ability to communicate with Him and receive help. So He sent you to Earth, hoping that you would return to Him and receive everything He has to offer you.

Before you were born, you lived with your Heavenly Father as one of His beloved spirit children. You knew and loved Him, and He knew and loved you.

Although you have forgotten your life before you were born, your Heavenly Father has not. He knows you and loves you. He wants you to come to know and love Him, too.

take it for what it's worth....?

Answer 11

This question cannot be answered with any accuracy. First no one has come back from the dead to tell us anything. Near death experiences don't count because all of the phenomenon that occurs can be explained by Science. ANYONE who says what happened before we were around or what will happen after is a damn liar

Be suspicious of anyone who says they have the truth by the tail,
NO ONE has all the answers.
