Who Is The Embryo?
Photo 1, embryo at 8 weeks (56 days)
Photo 2, fetus at 17 weeks(Photo 1 above is of an embryo at 56 days or 8 weeks of gestation corresponding to the second month of pregnancy while Photo 2 is of a fetus at 17 weeks of gestation which corresponds to the 4th month of pregnancy). Photos not to scale.
Cells are the building blocks of the vast majority of life on this planet including ourselves. Human embryos and fetuses, like all the rest of the human race, are made up of cells as well. Only difference between embryonic and fetal cells and that of our own is that they are incapable of living outside of their womb, and are therefore basically immature humans, as they depend on their mother for nourishment. Their cells are, however, in their function and composition, identical and in many ways superior to your own cells. By the eighth week of gestation (56 days or 2 months of pregnancy, photo#1) all the major organs and systems of the body are formed, including the head (nervous system), ears, nose, eyes, mouth, heart, liver, the gut (intestines) and limbs (hands and feet including fingers and toes). From this period forward until birth, the embryo is called a fetus and during this period, hair begins to appear on the skin. But the majority of changes during this period is comprised of building up of tissues (growth in the number of cells in each organ system) and preparation for the transition from intrauterine (referring to environment within the uterus) to extrauterine (referring to environment outside of uterus) environment. In fact, the embryonic and fetal cells make up the human that lives beyond the female uterus and the rest simply change and become other cell types. Their neurons or nerve cells, have the same capabilities in function as do your own neurons and enjoy the same basic presence throughout their bodies, so theoretically, they are capable of sensing all the modalities such as pain, touch, vibration, temperature and even cognition (you must remember, however, that these modalities are mostly learned behavior). The rest of their cells, such as fat, muscle, immune cells, specialized organ cells, connective tissue, etc., provide these organisms with the same functions as they would in an adult human. Sadly, however, abortion by vacuum suctioning is "legal" through the 4th month of pregnancy. In other words, fetuses very much similar to the fetus in photo 2 are being asphyxiated to death every day through the mischief of the abortionists.
God’s Instructions On The Embryo:
"Do not destroy your offsprings out of fear of poverty; We will provide for them and for you. Surely, killing them is a great sin."
God says, "They ask thee concerning the soul. Tell them: The soul has been created by the command of your Lord; and you have been given but little knowledge concerning it. If We pleased, We could take away that which We have revealed to thee. Then thou wouldst find none to plead for thyself against Us, unless through the special mercy that thy Lord may demonstrate. Surely, great are His blessings on thee." He adds concerning it: ". . . the soul and its perfect faculty and integration, one who nourishes it will indeed prosper, and one who corrupts it will come upon ruin." These organisms (cells) have with them their soul, as God has explained, human souls are sometimes confined to one sperm cell. So our daily losses at the abortion clinic are not as they appear. Killing embryos and fetuses, is not only killing our own cells, but is hurting your souls as well. And as our great apostle Moses (peace be upon him) once said, "Thou shalt not kill" human life!
God’s Creation Explained:
God explains concerning the creation of the heavens and of the earth: "Do not the disbelievers realize that the heavens and the earth were one solid, integrated mass, then We split them asunder, and We made every living thing from water?" Later He explains, "Then He turned to the heavens, which was all smoke, and He said to it and to the earth: Submit ye to My command, willingly or perforce..." He adds, "It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six spans of time; He originated life from water and exercises His control through revelation..." and "He shapes you in the wombs of the mother as He wills; there is none worthy of worship except the One God, the Almighty, the Most Wise." The One God says, "He gave you life after you were dead, and He will make you to die again, then He will restore life to you: indeed to Him will you then return . . . He has full knowledge of all things."
Embryos' Message Makes Truth Clear:
With as many questions that we have answered, we have raised many new questions. Exactly what constitutes life and what it means to the rest of us? It is important to realize that sanctity of human life and its importance comes only from God, Creator of the heavens and of the earth. All worship and praise is due to Him and Him alone. As God has revealed : "... Let us reach agreement upon the one matter which is common among us: that we worship none but the One God, and that we setup none as his partner, and that none of us take others for lords beside the One God ..."
For most people who live in these United States, the concept may be just a bit difficult! Here is some clarification: "People of the Book! Exceed not the limits and show not fanaticism in your religion, and say not of God anything but the truth. Indeed, the Messiah who is Jesus son of Mary (honor and peace be upon him), was but an apostle of God and the fulfillment of a command of His which he conveyed to Mary (peace be upon her) as a mercy from Him. So believe in God and His apostles and say not: He is trinity. Abstain, it will be better for you. Indeed, God is the only One God. The glory of His holiness brooks not that He should beget a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Sufficient is God as Guardian and Helper." He adds, "... indeed, We did kill the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary (honor and peace be upon him), the apostle of God; whereas they neither killed nor crucified him, though it was made to appear to them as one crucified to death ...." He explains, "The Messiah, son of Mary (honor and peace be upon him) was but an apostle; many apostles had passed away before him. His mother was a paragon of truth. They both were in search of and ate food. Behold how we explain the Signs for their benefit and behold how they wander astray."
God has given us many opportunities of mercy and belief and has sent many apostles so that we may be rightly guided. God says: "We sent many apostles whom We have mentioned to thee and many apostles whom We have not mentioned to thee, and God spoke to Moses (peace be upon him) directly at length. We sent these apostles as bearers of glad tidings and admonition, so that after the coming of the apostles people may have no plea against God . God is Almighty, Most Wise. God Himself bears witness to that which has been revealed to thee, a revelation charged with His knowledge; and the angels bear witness as well; but God is sufficient as witness."
Not believing these revelations is what has led many in this nation to wrongfully believe that killing embryos and fetuses is within their rights!! It is important to realize that "the life of this world is nothing but sport and play. Surely, it is the home of the hereafter that is the only true life, if only they knew ..." and know that "He it is who owns the keys of the unseen, none but He has full knowledge of it. He knows all that is on the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls without his full knowledge, nor a grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything green or seared but is known and protected by Him. Indeed, it is He who takes your souls into custody ..." So Say "IN GOD ALONE WE PUT OUR TRUST."*
