The root cause of why I ask these questions is my own personal history. I started as a conservative and changed to a liberal. The basic reason for my change is that in my personal perspective, I was not able to honestly and consistently apply all conservative doctrine in my life and faith. I still feel a certain tension to look for resolution of the issues within the conservative doctrine. This particular issue is not the one that caused my personal change, but none the less, it is extremely important in our society today.<br><br>I do not see how it is possible that you can be sure that every person born came from a fertilized egg which joined to a soul at the moment of conception and at the same time think that the question about spontaneous abortions is one of the secret things that Deuteronomy 29:29 speaks of. At the same time, I think that it is wrong for me to press you into a subject that you think should not be discussed. I will let the thread die unless someone else is able to answer my questions.<br><br>
