Christians: A question about Cloning and Souls? (please read on)?

Question

Say I have a cryogenized human embryo:

If I slice it in two, each resulting half may be implanted into a womb and develop into a baby (this currently happens with the cattle that you eat).

So, for each slice I cut, will God send a soul? Or will each slice receive so much of a soul?

Ergo: If God sends a soul for every time I cut a slice off, am I ruling over God, commanding him to send as many souls as slices I cut?

And if otherwise I'm cutting up a single SOUL, does that mean that the fully grown individuals will possess a partial soul?

Answer 1

Good question!

Answer 2

Clones, in regardless of the truth that sort they exist, do no longer have souls. human beings do no longer have souls. Animals do no longer have souls. In Genesis we examine: Adam grew to develop right into a residing soul. Adam became no longer given a soul, he became a soul. At Genesis a million:20-21, we examine God's command that the waters swarm forth a swarm of residing souls. Sea creatures are subsequently souls. Numbers 31:28 says to levy a tax or tribute and then describes it: one SOUL out of each 500 of human beings, of the flock and of the herd. The Hebrew note nephesh is translated soul and is used of human beings and animals. those scriptural examples coach that the soul became no longer something contained in the creature - the soul IS the creature, or the existence that the creature enjoys. So no human and no animal has a soul. it isn't a possession. it truly is the creature.

Answer 3

Sorry, but I am not a Christian and I hope you don't mind my answering your post.

Soul does not enter a human body until it is born and draws the first breath. It is not possible to have fractions of Soul. And no, you are not commanding God to send as many Souls as you decree because arrangements for that kind of request had been worked even before you thought about it.

Answer 4

Only the portion that God originally created is His work. He did not slice anything therefore what was sliced is not completely His work. The soul remains with the work of God. Clones do not possess souls for they are not God's work.

Answer 5

I don't think we get souls until later in our development. DISCLAIMER: just because we may not have souls as embryos, we are still God's construction project. Cloning may not be abortion, but it's still interfering with God's plan. And God may have planned the splitting of the embryo, having two souls already made. You can never really rule over God. He has a plan for everything.

Answer 6

A soul simply means LIFE, its not a weird thing that flies to heaven when we die, etc...no, its the simply act of a human, or anything that adquires life.

You aren't ruling over God at all, its like saying: "If i get preagnant I'm ruling over God because i'm bringing a baby to life"....

No, God let's it happend, you are just using what he already created.

"To Discover something is not the same that Creating it"

Answer 7

You may do what you want, but ulitimately it is God alone who gives life. When he gives life to a human being, that human being has a soul, no matter how you slice it.

Answer 8

Let's talk about it more when we have the ability to clone humans.

But for now, this is in theory how identical twins/triplets/quads/etc form. And they each get souls.

Answer 9

So when you masturbate in the shower are you commanding God then?

With whatever answer you respond you can apply to your question.

Answer 10

There is no such thing as a soul.
