- Any Jew who knows the Bible will remeber that King David refers to the Lord as
- having formed him. David goes on to say, "surely I was sinful from the moment
- I was conceived'! (in the Psalms) Interesting isn't it. He didn't consider
- life to begin one month after conception. Nope; as far as the Lord Jehovah is
- concerned conception brings into this world a new person!
