So I made the mistake of thinking that everybody knows what the bible has to say about when life begins and when life ends. Because it's pretty clear. It's so clear that we have thousands of years of poetry from christian communities reinforcing the point of view. It's part of funeral liturgy.

Breathe Life. Runeterra. Using the metaphor of Jesus as the breath of life, this plan explores a variety of Scripture passages centered on Jesus’ commands to pray without ceasing, to give sacrificially, and to serve the least, lost, and overlooked. Paul wrote that “all scripture is breathed out by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). This remarkable. A breath may be quiet, but it is also a sure sign of life.
It's part of song, and story, and even pop culture. It's laid out just as clear as anything could be.But no, apparently it is not widely known that the bible does not ever state that life begins at conception. In fact, it states that life enters and leaves the body through the breath. In with your very first breath, out with your very last.I thought everyone knew that fundamentalists were not just wrong about science, but also about the bible and theology, as well. But apparently, this isn't common knowledge. So here it is, a full breakdown on how the bible very clearly states that life begins at breath, not at conception. Okay, first off, this is so important a theological question to an ancient society (When does life enter the body?) that it's laid out right there in Genesis:And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.Gen 2:7So breath is life, and when life is breathed into the earthen vessel that is a human body, it comes alive.
'A living soul' as the King James Version gives it. Talking about souls here can be problematic, so lets just talk about life.There's a lot of earthen vessel allusions in the bible, calling god the potter, that forms clay vessels (our bodies) into which god places our souls. This was always meant to be a metaphor. Indeed, this is rather problematic if you take it literally, because it means that god is a shoddy potter. How many people are born with defects or serious medical conditions?
And what about the transgender person? If you take this stuff literally, it means that god intentionally formed a female body, and put a male soul into that body, or vice versa. This is yet another reason why God itself says in the bible (see below) that you shouldn't take scripture literally.
