A better option is to cut the meat away from the bones before putting it in your mouth. And if the meat is poisoned, don't stick it in your mouth to begin with. I'll leave it to the scholars among us to see the allegory.

You even quoted him... "On the MP3 file at 29 seconds he says,C'mon atlas, get it straight. The trouble that you, and so many others, are having here is that you misquote Dr. Ruckman and then rail on him after doing so. (Go back and read you words and see if the quotes match.) "He's 100% wrong (big and bold), wrong, wrong, wrong...blah, blah, blah" No, atlas, you're 100% wrong! (but I won't put it in bold!) What you suggest and what he said are two different things. You said that he teaches that LIFE starts when a baby breathes... No he does not. Dogs and trees have LIFE, but they are NOT living souls. The life of the flesh is in the blood...right??? Of course, but it does not say the life of the soul is in the blood (you understand there's a difference, don't you?). Souls are a bodily shape (Rev. 6), but they are NOT the body. The unborn living baby in the womb is a body (flesh) with life in it, but it is not yet an eternal soul. It is not yet "self-sustaining," that is it is only alive (flesh) as its "host" (mother) is providing its life... Dr. Ruckman teaches (and so do I) then that when someone aborts a living baby in the womb, they are not murdering a living soul. They are not sending the unborn baby to heaven, they are simply terminating the life that was in the flesh, life that when born would become a living soul. Never has he condoned or recommended abortion, but he teaches that it is not what everyone says it is. You can run all kinds of scripture to say what you think refutes this, but you'll have trouble considering that the position is not saying the unborn baby is not living, as you falsely supposed. |

pbiwolski, aside from the fact that Dr. Ruckman's position was misquoted, you and he both appear to consider that abortion is not a moral crime because a living soul is not killed. Murder is taking a life, not taking a living soul. So I would say that even in your (incorrect) position that a baby becomes a living soul at birth, abortion, that is the taking of an innocent human life, is still murder.
While you are at it, since your take the counter-position to others here, could you answer my questions found in posts #12 and #13 found here: http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...5&postcount=12 |

Your questions...
Some questions for those who see the soul entering the body at birth: (give references if possible) 1 ) When does the spirit get created? If at conception, why? I would have to say at conception, although "created" would not be the right word. The scriptures are plenteous in connecting the spirit with our/God's breath and even wind. A few... Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;(The "why?" is answered in question 3.) 2 ) If the body is without a soul, is it alive? If no, then when is a baby alive? Yes, it (the body/flesh) is absolutely alive. 3 ) Does the spirit separate from the soul at any point? Of course! Ecc. 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.The soul does not need the spirit - the body does. As long as the baby is in the mother, it does not need "the spirit" (it's own), it exists off of its mother. Should mom "give up the ghost," there goes the life of the unborn baby. Job 34:14-15 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh shall perish together, and man (the body) shall turn again unto dust.When the child is conceived, the child receives its own spirit (the breath of life) and becomes a living soul. 4 ) If the pre-born child has no soul, then if death occurs in the womb, does the child cease to exist? Yes. Please forgive the crude wording, but it is no more that a pile of meat and tissue - flesh. If you allow emotions and humanism to affect your understanding, you'll want to make those harmless unborn babies living in "a better place" (which can nowhere be proven with scripture). __________________ |

pbiwolski,
You are 100% wrong I did not misquote anyone one time. Quote:
Do you not understand I put the time the quote came from? Can you not read and hear at the same time? The quotes are a 100% perfect word for word match. I did this and the quotes match word for word Quote:

I'm glad that you pointed out my error - it was a typo on my part (thinking ahead of what I wrote, I guess). Let me be clear. Conception is not at all the word that I meant. For some reason my mind read conception and thought "birth." This would definitely be a "contradiction" on my part and I apologize for not catching this. If anywhere else in those answers I make the same/similiar statement - then I made a mess of what I was trying to say. Please substitute "at birth" to the answer to the first question. Tim, I hope you notice this correction as well. |
