I agree. No arguing. Just sharing, asking, listening, reading, learning, etc.
I found it interesting to discover scriptures that talk about fertilization/conception, cellular division, and the process of human life forming in the womb. God has a book with every single person who has ever lived or ever will in it before their conception. It has intricate details about each of us before we are even conceived and of course this was long before anything about DNA, traits, genetic code, etc.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
More than just planning our physical features and personalities, the Lord has planned His purpose for our lives as well as our jobs in eternity and heavenly gifts provided by the Holy Spirit He has equipped us with to work His will out through us.
Jeremiah 1:4-10
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5
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.
6Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for
I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put
my words in
thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Here again:
Galatians 1:15
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
And
again:
Isaiah 44:24
24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and
he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
And here again:
Psalm 71:6
6
By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
Isaiah 49:15
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget,
yet will I not forget thee.
There are all kinds of glorious riches hidden in the scriptures for us to seek out for the rest of eternity.
I can read something I've read a dozen or more times before and still glean something new from it the next time I read it.
It's okay if it doesn't all process. Pray and ask the Lord to enlighten your heart with His understanding and make his heart and mind known to you as you read and the word will begin to come alive to you (and in you!).
