Our faith and views of scripture have little to do with Councils, which are often in error, kind of similar to this post of yours.

Luke 1.26-56 makes it very clear that the angel Gabriel, sent by God, informed Mary that the child conceived in her womb, who shall be named Jesus, was both God and man, "He will be great, called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of David His Father."

This is merely wordplay. What we are referring to at conception is an embryo, which technically develops from a zygote.

The Wise Men from the east actually began their journey when they saw His star at conception. (Matt 2.1-12) Unfortunately these not so Wise Men got distracted and went to Jerusalem, where Herod got involved. Since they arrived late, they were not at the manger worshiping with the Shepherds, but found Jesus a few days later in a "house," where they worshiped Him with gifts. Obviously God never wanted these inspired guests to worship His Son in the womb of Mary, as that might appear to be God-sanctioned "Mary-worship," which, of course, the real church would never do.

The Bible plainly states that Jesus was regularly worshiped as God, both at birth, during His ministry, and after His resurrection. So sad to see that your extensive online reading list has caused you to give up on this priceless truth.

The Bible states we are souls, and we have a soul. Jesus as Son of Man was the same. Your demand that a person needs to breathe, based on this verse, is laughable. All scripture is also "God-breathed." Does that mean my Bible must also be "breathing?"

Sovereignty over one's children does not provide the right to take the child's life.

Yes, women have "rights" over their own body. And for that matter, no woman has ever been prosecuted for taking her own life.

But the unborn baby within a woman is not her own body. It's not even a part of her body. It does not have her DNA. She has no "right" over the life of this baby. Whether babies were aborted before Roe has nothing to do with it. Should we legalize other forms of murder since Cain killed his own brother back at the dawn of man? What kind of logic is that?

In a Constitutional Republic, our representatives make our laws. Male representatives have made laws against men since the beginning. Ever been stopped for speeding? An elected "man" probably has written that law.

There you go again! Always blaming Christians for all of this world's ills.

Goodness brother. Methinks you need to rethink this post, or at least reword it in some way. Please. Pretty Please.
