Yet you completely ignore Jeremiah, in which God says, "I knew you before you were born."

You REALLY have to twist the word of God to go from "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." to a position that condones the murder of unborn babies.

What demented church do you attend anyway? Does your pastor also hold these beliefs? May I e-mail him and ask him?

Do not post to me again because I won't answer. I know the devil when he is working, so begone.

No I don't. You ignore what the verse says. Look at it:

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. -- Jeremiah 1:15
Before Jeremiah was even formed in the belly God says He knew Him. So to press your argument, LIFE BEGINS AT SOME POINT EVEN BEFORE CONCEPTION.

But of course it does not. God foreknowing someone is no proof of life beginning at that point. For example,

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love -- Ephesians 1: 3-4

It's clear that God foreknew people even that far back, before the foundation of the world, before one single person had been conceived in a womb. You want to argue that this proves their lives actually began back then? Think "science" will back you up on that?
