Paul S.
In reply to:
[color:"blue"]Your "ethical tension" must be solved by acknowledging that the Sovereign Lord who created You is not bound by your so-called "conundrum". He declares individuals alive at conception; He commands that we care for them as we have opportunity; He commands that we trust Him to do what is right.

The fatal flaw in these liberal (it's ok--I was one for many years!) ethical challenges is that they ALWAYS leave the Sovereignty of God out of the equation, both in His knowledge and power. That inevitably leads to an unworkable ethic--as you have acknowledged--which is then used to adduce relativism. I sincerely hope you don't go any further down that path.

I especially appreciate these verses in Psalm 139 which tell us that God see our substance when we were yet unformed. Truely we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

[color:blue]Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out? For who has known the mind of the Lord?



When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride. - Isaac Watts
