Hey Ann when you threw out the trash in your mind you overlooked the judging God. That's part of that tradition brainwashing. We actually judge ourselves when we get pass this thing known as EGO or mortal self. That little spark of God in you known as the power to reason will see that you receive true justice. The better you know the laws of nature and reciprocal action the better you will be served in the court of life. Seems much more reliable than blind faith.

>>The issue of whether a fetus contains a soul almost seems insignificant to me.<< god Ann has spoken! I will start chapter two of ABORTION, what is Bible truth, by David Alsobrook, today instead of tomorrow. YOU "BREATHED" BEFORE YOU WERE BORN !! One of the two most common words used for an infant in the Greek New Testament is ""BREPHOS"". Scholars define BREPHOS as "a breathing, nursing infant"(Thayer,Wuest,Vincent, Vine, and others). This word is used a total of eight times by Luke, Peter, and Paul. The latter two writers each used "brethos" only once. Peter used it in a metaphorical sense. He instructed the believers he was writing to desire the sincere milk of the Word "as newborn babes"(1 Peter 2:1). Note, please the adjective "newborn" in connection with "babes"(brephos). Peter emphasizes the earliest stages of infancy. Paul used it in a literal sense of Timothy's instruction in the Holy Scripture since infancy,(see 2 Timothy 3:15) Luke used this word five times in his Gospel(1:41,44; 2:12,16; 18:15)and records Stephen as using it one time in Acts 7:19. Luke used "brephos" to denote the savior at birth, as well as the babies Jesus touched during His ministry. Stephen, in his inspired answer to the high priest, used "brephos" in reference to all the Hebrew males who were, by Pharoah's decree, under the sentence of death as soon as they were born(see Acts 7:19, Exodus 1:15-22). I have shown you these examples to demonstrate the fact that " brephos" refers to a newborn infant who cannot do much else besides breathing and nursing. In classical Greek literature the famed poet, Homer, likewise used " brephos" to denote a newborn baby. Now to my point: the one Gospel writer who had a detailed MEDICAL background,"Luke the beloved physician" (Colossians 4: 14), not only used "brephos" of breathing, nursing infants as we have just seen, but also used the SAME WORD TO DENOTE AN UNBORN CHILD!! ""And it came to pass, that, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the BABE leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost...for lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the BABE leaped in my womb for joy"" (Luke 1:41,44) In both verses the only physician ever used by God in the recording of sacred Scripture used "BREPHOS" to describe the condition of John the baptizer while he was still is his mother's womb!
