Nice try, Baal worshipper. Anti-Christians always try to misuse Christ's words to guilt Christians into silence. It won't work with me, my faith and my knowledge is stronger than your lies. There is nothing in the Bible that requires me to love or accept the garbage you spew.

You're absolutely right! There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that requires you to love or accept a single word I "spew!" Just for kicks and grins, though, let's see what the Bible says and see if I might have a point.

Surely you won't mind that, will you? Let's look at what the Bible says, without commenting on it (I won't even bold any type), and you can judge for yourself whether there MAY BE GROUNDS for someone to take and hold to a position that the Bible teaches that LIFE BEGINS when BREATH enters the body (and life ends when breath leaves the body), and new life begins at new birth when the Spirit of God enters into a man!

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. -- Genesis 2:7

All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. -- Job 27: 3-4

The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. -- Job 33:4

Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: -- Ezekiel 37:5

And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. -- Ezekiel 37: 8-10

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. -- John 3: 2-7
