Psalm 139:13-16
Loading verse text...
- #1 Why is abortion wrong? Abortion is wrong because it is the taking of innocent human life. God commands, “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). A child in the womb is a living human being from conception (Psalm 139:13–16; Lu...
- #6 What does the Bible say about the value of life? The Bible teaches that life is a gift from God (Acts 17:25). He alone gives and takes life (Exodus 20:13;Deuteronomy 32:39). From conception onward, every person exists by God’s will and for His purpo...
- #10 Does science prove life begins at conception? Yes. Science shows that a new human life begins at conception. From that moment, the embryo has its own DNA and grows by its own internal direction. This truth supports what Scripture has always revea...
- #17 How should Christians think about IVF embryos that remain frozen? Christians should view frozen IVF embryos as living human beings deserving of protection, not as property or biological material. Scripture teaches that human life begins at conception (Psalm 139:13–1...
- #27 How does Psalm 139 inform our view of embryos created in laboratories? Psalm 139:13-16 honors God's knitting from the first moment. Embryos made in a lab are still created by Him, and are not disposable property. Creating spares to freeze or discard treats people as prod...

- #44 Does a detectable heartbeat prove personhood scientifically and biblically? Heartbeat detection simply reveals what God made at conception: a human person (Psalm 139:13–16). Personhood does not begin with a detectable pulse; life begins when God knits the child together at co...
- #46 If infants that die go to Heaven, why is abortion a problem? That question goes right to the heart of the matter, and it’s one that deserves a clear and biblical answer. First, even if every aborted child were immediately received into the presence of Christ—wh...
- #54 Should Christians pursue embryo adoption from IVF clinics? Embryos are created by God, not surplus property (Psalm 139:13-16). Rescuing frozen children can be an act of mercy, yet the IVF system that created them is unjust. Couples must proceed with sober con...
- #89 What is the biblical case against abortion exceptions for rape or incest? Scripture forbids punishing children for their fathers' sins (Ezekiel 18:20). Each child is knit by God and belongs to Him (Psalm 139:13-16). Justice demands we prosecute the rapist and protect the ba...
