An embryo is a person in the early stages. It is an entity in the early stages.

no, its not. It is a potential person. Just like a seed or sprout is a potential tree. It is still a seed or a sprout.

A sprout or a seed is NOT a tree.

Definition of Embryo
an animal in the early stages of growth and differentiation that are characterized by cleavage, the laying down of fundamental tissues, and the formation of primitive organs and organ systems; especially : the developing human individual from the time of implantation to the end of the eighth week after conception

An embryo is past the stage of a seed or a sprout. Woman naturally have eggs made by their overys and kept in their uterus. They are not a "person" or a "being" until the semen joins with the egg.

Perhaps I should say it a differing way...

(molecules do breath)...

I guess one must turn the box inside out a bit to grasp this...

But an 'entity' can be more than the narrow defintion you gave as example.

Without my bacteria I my shell would die.

They are an important sub-entity to my existance.

They may breath, but that doesn't constitute a living "being" or "entity".

How do you know?

Have you ever asked a molecule how it felt?
What frequency do they 'talk' at?

With out the molecules that make you body work (sub-entities of the whole), you would not be.

Reality has a tendency to make old defintions change.

Well Cowboy.....you are ONE human BEING...made up 3 PARTS:

BODY.....

SOUL....

SPIRIT.....


NOW...does the fact that you consist of 3 parts ( body, soul.and

spirit), make you 3 human beings....

OR

just ONE HUMAN BEING!!!




MAN CONSISTS OF 3 PARTS ( BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT ),BUT THE THREE

PARTS OF HIM, MAKE HIM ONLY ONE HUMAN BEING !!!


HE IS ONLY ONE HUMAN BEING...NOT THREE!!!


GOD CONSISTS OF 3 PERSONS WITHIN THE ONE GODHEAD, MAKING UP JUST

ONE SUPREME BEING (ENTITY).

ONE SUPREME BEING...OR ONE ENTITY...OR ONE GOD !!!!

NOT THREE ENTITIES ,OR 3 SUPREME BEINGS ,OR 3 GODS.

NO!!!!!!!


JUST ONE !!!

ONE ENTITIY !!!

ONE SUPREME BEING !!!

ONE GOD ALMIGHTY !!!

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


CAN'T MAKE THIS ANY CLEARER NOW.


GOODNITE NOW, COWBOY.

Not exactly. I'm not this body, this body is merely a shell. Without this body, according to the judgement I receive, I may or may not live. I am my soul. The spirit in me, is the spirit of God. Without it, I would currently be alive more then likely. I say more then likely, because God has helped me through some major earthly life situations, that by all medical laws my body should not have made it through.

They are controlled by the nucleus. The nucleus is programmed by YOUR brain. It is programmed to do a specific thing and a specific thing only. If they were not "programmed" to do a certain thing and a certain thing only, your body would not function. Some molecules may decide to take the day off... sorry it's sort of a joke there. But it's true in all reality. That is why your body continues to operate in a specific way unless something else interrupts that specific operation.

But enough science/biological talk. It is semi relevant to the discussion, but I can see it to taking this thread way off topic.

IN GENESIS , GOD SAID "WE "!!!!!


THE "WE" IS ONLY ONE GOD !!!!!

FATHER, JESUS THE WORD, and THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE THE "WE".......THE THREE PRSONS

MAKING UP ONE GOD !!!



NOW....SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY STILL THINK JESUS IS JUST A

SEPARATE "god" FROM GOD ALMIGHTY,

THEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY SERVING 2 GODS IN YOUR LIFE:


BUT GOD SAID," THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME " !!!


(SINCE YOU STILL THINK JESUS IS just OUR "god" (a completelty

separate "god" FROM GOD ALMIGHTY), IT IS THE SAME AS HAVING

ANOTHER GOD BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY IN YOUR LIFE THEN!!!!


YOU HAVE MADE JESUS , THE ONE WHO CREATED US, INTO NOTHING MORE

THAN A "demi-god" !!!


How the devil deceives people........

I can only pray ...I can't do no more.....

COWBOY:

ARE YOU A HUMAN BEING...JUST ANSWER ....YES OR NO!!!!!

ARE YOU ONE HUMAN BEING OR 3!!!

JUST ANSWER ....YES OR NO!!!!

I serve God the father through Jesus, for he is the path to God.

I did answer. I am one. I am my soul. My body is temporary. The spirit of God only "influences" my actions through my conscience. God's spirit doesn't make me do any action nor does my body.

No, again "God" in itself is not a being or an entity. God is a reference, it is a descriptive word. That is why even Jesus said "my God....". He was "referencing" to the father who has "authority" over Jesus. The father having "authority" over Jesus, makes the father his "god".

This is why we are referred to "gods" as well eg., know ye not that ye are gods. We have dominion over the world and the creatures thereon making us the one's with authority, making us "gods".

Genesis 1:28

28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Cowboy, the reason you broke all medical laws,and made

it , was because God has a great plan and purpose for your

life.....

but the enemy also knows this... and is trying

everything he can to abort that plan from unfolding in your life.


One of the greatest tactics the enemy tries to use, is

deception.



That is why I am praying that the Truth of God's Word, will

become very clear to you now, Cowboy .

I totally agree that it is only through the grace of God that I survived through that, never said any different. He was with me all the way and still is.

The Bible tells us that Jesus is God incarnate; He is

God the Son,

eternally one with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He alone

can forgive our sins and give salvation.


The writer of Hebrews explains how "In the past God spoke to our

forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he

appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation

of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he

had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of

the Majesty in heaven" (Hebrews 1:1-3).


Many people believe that Jesus lived, was a good teacher and a very

spiritual man, but they deny that he is God. A diluted Jesus is not

the real Jesus. We must be careful to believe in the Jesus that he

himself declared he was, "not be[ing] led astray from [our] sincere

and pure devotion to Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3).



Here are seven declarations and actions of Jesus that show us who he

believed he was and is:

1. Jesus said He was God

Matthew 26:63-65 "But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to

him, 'I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are

the Christ, the Son of God.' 'Yes, it is as you say,' Jesus

replied. 'But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the

Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on

the clouds of heaven.' Then the high priest tore his clothes and

said, 'He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses?

Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.'"



John 8:58-59 " 'I tell you the truth,' Jesus answered, 'before

Abraham was born, I am!' At this, they picked up stones to stone

him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds."

John 10:30-33 " 'I and the Father are one.' Again the Jews picked up

stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many

great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone

me?' 'We are not stoning you for any of these,' replied the

Jews, 'but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be

God.' "



John 14:8-9 "Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and that will be

enough for us.' Jesus answered: 'Don't you know me, Philip, even

after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me

has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?' "



2. Jesus said He came from heaven, God's eternal dwelling place

John 6:38 "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to

do the will of him who sent me."


John 16:28 "I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am

leaving the world and going back to the Father."


3. Jesus said He was sinless, as God alone is without sin

John 8:46 "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling

the truth, why don't you believe me?"


4. Jesus forgave sin

Mark 2:5 "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the

paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.'"


Luke 7:48, 49 "Then Jesus said to her, 'Your sins are forgiven.' The

other guests began to say among themselves, 'Who is this who even

forgives sins?' "


5. Jesus said He was the only way to heaven

John 14:6 "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through me.'"


John 11:25 "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life.

He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.'"


6. Jesus accepted worship as God

Matthew 14:33 "Then those who were in the boat worshiped him

[Jesus], saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."


John 9:38 "Then the man said, 'Lord Jesus, I believe,' and he

worshiped him."


7. Jesus performed miracles including raising others and himself

from the dead

Matthew 4:23 "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their

synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing

every disease and sickness among the people."


Matthew 17:18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy,

and he was healed from that moment.


Luke 8:49-50, 52-55 "While Jesus was still speaking, someone came

from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. 'Your daughter is

dead,' he said. 'Don't bother the teacher anymore.' Hearing this,

Jesus said to Jairus, 'Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will

be healed.' ...Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning

for her. 'Stop wailing,' Jesus said. 'She is not dead but asleep.'

They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But he took her by

the hand and said, 'My child, get up!' Her spirit returned, and at

once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to

eat."


Luke 7:12-15 "As he approached the town gate, a dead person was

being carried out-the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.

And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw

her, his heart went out to her and he said, 'Don't cry.' Then he

went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still.

He said, 'Young man, I say to you, get up!' The dead man sat up and

began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother."


John 11:43, 44 "When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud

voice, 'Lazarus, come out!' The dead man came out, his hands and

feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, 'Take off the grave clothes and let him go.' "

Luke 24:5-8 "In their fright the women bowed down with their faces

to the ground, but the men said to them, 'Why do you look for the

living among the dead? He [Jesus] is not here; he has risen!

Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in

Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful

men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' Then they

remembered his words."

If it makes you feel any better MorningSong, I doubt that too many people actually view Cowboy as a representative of Christianity.

I never have.

Also for whatever it's worth, your explanations for questions I have concerning the Bible make far more sense than anything Cowboy has ever offered.

I can actually see how Christianity can indeed make sense from your perspective.

Not to imply that I think it makes any sense. But your solutions to the contradictions and problems have always made far more sense than anything that Cowboy as ever offered.
