[h=1]1 Peter 3:15-16[/h][FONT="]But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.[/FONT]
LOL...Canada has lot's of Walmarts. The news of their supposed demise has been greatly mis-leading.
I also cannot "un-born" myself as an act of my will either. It turns out I'm not as powerful as has been thought. I can not "un-born" my natural life and I can not "un-born" the new creation in Christ - born from above.
i've never eaten chipotle. not at the restaurant or actually, anywhere. no idea what it tastes like. but then, i've also never been to Canada. so.
and this:
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
(John 1:13)
(John 1:13)
says it wasn't by our will, but God's.
i don't think you quite understand conception . . . ?
it really isn't up to the foetus, who doesn't exactly exist at the time.

Were you taught to pick scripture out of context or is it something you just learned to do over the years?

Our relationship with our Lord God and savior is a synergistic one not a one-sided one.

read what you just quoted -- He gave those that received Him the right to be children born not of human decision but of God.
how does that jive with "it's the foetus' decision" ?
do you imagine that children appear in the womb, the parents having nothing to do with it, and then nature itself having nothing to do with when a child is born, no appointed times or anything like that - but inside there are two buttons, "be born" and "not be born" and the new life sits there making a decision about which button to push?
hmm what's a C-section in this case? Paul?
that brother didn't make a "choice" - he was struck down on the road, and given commands.
