Does a Human Fetus have a soul before it is conceived ? Your thoughts please!!!!?

Answer 1

Abortion's defenders often argue that, if the mother does not "want" to have the child, she may abort it. But does a mother have the right to not want her child? Psalm 127:3-5; 128:3-5 -- Children are a blessing, a source of happiness and joy to their parents. Yet unborn babies are children, so parents ought to appreciate them as a blessing from God. People who have Scriptural attitudes will never kill unborn babies because they will never want to. Abortion is the grossest form of ingratitude for God's blessing. Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4 -- God has made us stewards of our children. A steward is a person who has been entrusted with something that belongs to someone else. He is responsible to care for that item and use it to accomplish the purpose of the one to whom it belongs. He will be condemned and punished by the owner or master if he abuses or misuses that which has been entrusted to him (Luke 12:42-46; Matt. 25:14-30; I Cor. 4:2). An unborn child is a particular blessing that has been given into our care just as surely as is a child that has been born. We have the same God-given duty toward an unborn child as we do toward one that has been born. If we kill them, we defeat God's purpose for their lives. How can we "train up" and "bring up" those whom we have killed?! Abortion is the grossest form of child abuse and the most extreme perversion of parental responsibility. God will not fail to hold us accountable.

B. God Says to Love Our Children.
Titus 2:4 -- Young women should be taught to love their children. But an unborn baby is a "child," and a woman who has conceived is a mother even before the baby is born. The Bible tells us how we should act toward those we love (I Cor. 13:4-7), and this teaching definitely does not allow us to kill them (Rom. 13:8-10). We have clearly established that abortion is wrong without even (thus far) examining passages specifically dealing with murder. Abortion does fit the Bible definition of murder. But even if it did not, it would still be sinful because it is unloving, a lack of appreciation for God's blessings, and a gross abuse of our stewardship to raise our children as God directs.

C. Respect for Life: Do Not Kill an Innocent Child.
Many passages teach us not to deliberately kill innocent human beings. Please read Exodus 23:7; Proverbs 6:16,17;
Revelation 21:8; 22:15; Matthew 15:19,20; and Romans 13:8-10. In addition, please consider these specific passages.
Psa. 106:37,38 -- Israel was polluted with blood because the people shed the innocent blood of their "sons and daughters." But unborn babies are "sons and daughters." What then is the condition of our land when over 25 million "sons and daughters" have been legally killed?
Matthew 2:16 -- Herod is considered wicked because he slew the male children in Bethlehem. Luke 2:12,16 calls such children "babes." But Luke 1:41,44 also calls unborn children "babes," so how can it be acceptable to kill them?
Hosea 13:16; 2 Kings 8:12 -- When children or infants are dashed to pieces, it is a great tragedy to any nation. Yet unborn babies are children or infants, and in our nation they are dashed to pieces by the millions!
Acts 7:19; Ex. 1:16-18 -- Pharaoh commanded that Israelite "sons" or "men children" be killed as soon as they were born. But these same terms are used for unborn babies. Would it have been acceptable for Pharaoh to have had abortions performed to kill the babies? Is it any less wicked if people today do it?
Deuteronomy 27:25 -- "Cursed be he that taketh a bribe to slay an innocent person." What clearer description could be given for people who operate abortion clinics?
Conclusion
Abortion is wrong, therefore, because it is a failure to love, appreciate, and care for a human baby. It is also wrong because it constitutes the deliberate killing of an innocent human being. When people defend abortion, their arguments should always be evaluated in light of the fact that the unborn baby is a human being, a separate individual from its mother. Therefore, deliberately killing it would be just as wrong as killing any other innocent human being. What should a woman do if she has aborted a baby and now realizes she did wrong? She does not need to spend the rest of her life with the burden of unforgiven guilt. The Bible says abortion is wrong, but it also offers a source of true forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ. God will forgive if we will come to Him according to His conditions. Read and obey these passages: Rom. 1:16; 6:3,4; 10:9,10; Mark 16:16; Acts 17:30; 2:38; 22:16.

Answer 2

That's a very good question! Some say that yes the soul exists before conception because God tells us He knew us before He formed us in the womb. However, that could simply mean God has an idea of what we will be like, not that He has created our soul and is waiting for the body to put it in.

So the answer is, we don't know exactly when God creates the soul nor do we know at what exact moment God infuses the soul into the human being. Conception or shortly after? Because we don't know the exact moment, we always err on the side of caution and say that life must be protected from conception on.

Answer 3

Your question is a contradiction. Please rephrase it.

A human fetus HAS BEEN conceived. So does a fetus have a soul? YES. I believe that life begins at the moment of conception.

Before conception, they're just eggs. An egg needs sperm to make a fetus. Before that happens, they're just eggs...no life, no soul.

Good luck.

Answer 4

I don't think a fetus has a soul before it's conceived, but it was most certainly planned... just not here yet.

Like a party. You can make all the plans, get all the decorations, invite all the people, but until the party starts, it's not a party.

Sorry if I'm oversimplifying.

Answer 5

In my opinion, it does.

Sorry if I offend, but I believe God makes all humans with souls, that they are not bestowed upon us after birth.

We are all CONCEIVED, in my opinion with a spirit, a soul, and a physical body (we grow into physical body after being conceived, of course), along with our feelings and everything else we have when we are born.

Answer 6

I don't know about before it's conceived, but I think it does from the moment of conception.

Maybe it does before, and it's just floating around waiting for us to be ready.

Answer 7

I think once mr. sperm meet mrs. egg that a soul is in the making. it's there. It may just look like a clump of cells. But those cells turn into fingers and toes and eyes and a heart. God knows us before we were even a twinkle in our parents eye.

Answer 8

We are all given our life plan before we are born. We know who we will meet and what path we are going to lead. It is immediately forgotten as soon as we are born and we live out our entire lives as we already knew. I am a very firm believer of this.

Answer 9

No...for this simple reason. In Genesis it says that Adam became a living soul, and later on it says that the soul that is sinning it itself shall die. Proving that body and soul are not seperate, they are one being....soul=body. Therefore it only becomes a soul once it has been concieved and begins to grow. From embryo on I might add, it is a person.

Answer 10

I like to believe they do. But that's probably not the most popular or PC answer. I believe that in life and death, one soul moves on so another can be brought into the world, and God controls it all

Answer 11

Thats a tough question. I guess if you go into God creates us all and so on then I would say yes.
