Cloning & Other Life Creating and/or Murderous Issues

We, as humans, have truly in this age, taken on the position of assuming that we are equal to God when the debate over cloning comes into play. What would God do if we created life?  We never back up and realize that it is an assumption on our part – and an incorrect assumption at that – to think that we would actually be creating life if we engaged in  cloning.

When life begins is an age old question, satisfactorily answered to many of us by the leading opinion or stance taken by our church or social group.  For many of us, this allows us to take the "easy" way out by not giving any thought to the issue ourselves.  God requires a personal and interactive relationship with each of us. If we simply go with the flow of the leading opinion, are we giving the required personal attention to the issue at hand? In my opinion, we are not.

God led me to begin thinking in earnest on this recently as I read a documented opinion on stem cell research which also addressed the issue of cloning.  This document was written by a preacher who speaks to my heart on almost every issue, and therefore I was looking for direction on how I should believe about these issues when I accessed the document in the first place. 

As I read, I found that God was feeding to my mind spiritual truths that I was trying to make myself ignore because I felt that this preacher has great spiritual gifts, and therefore must have a better handle on the truth than I did.  In other words, I wanted to agree with her opinion because I respect her so, but the flashes of truth in my mind were drawing me back to the fact that God wants to deal with me personally on the issues - all issues. He wants me to apply the spiritual truths that He has given to me in my own life and in the forming of my opinions on all things. 

I realized that the truth for me on the issue of cloning is that God, and only God, is The Creator of Life.  For me, it came down to this one question: Is my body who I am? My personal answer…absolutely not!  Who I am is the soul that was sparked with life by The Creator of All.  My body is merely a vessel that houses who I am. 

Groups argue the beginning of life based on biological factors…and that only.  Some say the beginning of life is the moment of fertilization; others have different opinions as to when life begins.  The question that kept coming to my mind was, "How does any biological factor have to do with who I am, being that I am a spiritual being?"  Obviously my body does affect my personality and therefore my soul.  But it came to me that on certain issues of stem cell research, cloning, the abortion debate and the like, obviously the question of when the body/vessel is sparked with the soul/life of God would have to be answered before we could possibly know if we were committing murder or not by engaging in these practices. 

Today, I sit in the seat of revelation, seeing for the first time, that my fear (for me fear equates to evil forces succeeding in my life) of the mystery of cloning and my willingness to go along in ignorance with the leading opinion that most closely mirrored my fear has blinded me to facts that I have always known to be true, as well as caused me to ignore the flashes of those truths that God was bringing to my mind while I was trying so hard to believe the opinion of someone simply because I highly respected them.  I have to think that others could be doing the same, so I wanted to record this revelation for myself, as well as share it with others who may not realize that they are doing the same.

After much study and listening to what God was giving me, my personal opinion that governs my own actions, is that I should air on the side of caution; if I don't know, I shouldn't do it. But my opinion is my own only to be acted upon by me, not to be forced on others. Because we each have unique paths from which we need to glean different and unique spiritual truths for our individual journey, my truth may not be the truth that you are required to learn. I believe that to try and convince people to believe my own opinion would be detrimental not only to my own soul (for standing in judgment), but also detrimental to the person that I was trying to convince because I would be inadvertently trying to rob them of their opportunity – and requirement – of learning and deciding for themselves based on their personal interactions with God.

My Personal Spiritual Truths Revealed from this experience…

• It is required that I listen to God, personally and completely.
• If I open myself to listening, the revelations are there.
• Fear keeps me ignorant.  I must be on guard to watch for fear (in particular), because it often leads me to easily put off and even ignore my personal responsibility in regards to studying while  listening for God's interjections and accepting them as what they are.
• Truly exercising the law of love requires that I not judge another.  Because our paths and the truths we each must learn are unique, I must NEVER stand in judgment of another's opinion.  I am only allowed to judge what the truth is for myself by studying for myself and then listening for, really hearing and absorbing, and finally using God's personal direction to me. 
• I need to share the word with others who may may be inadvertently ignoring God because they may be failing to recognize and listen to The Spirit speaking in their own hearts.

My Personal Moral Truths Relating to Cloning and Other Life Creating and/or Murderous Issues Revealed from this experience…AS ALWAYS, tempered with the directive that you are required listen and hear what God speaks to you as you study the issues and realize your own truth that is meant to be unique to your path!

• To believe that by cloning we are able to create life is erroneous and shows our considerable downfall of being unable to relinquish ego…as the spark of Life - that is, the Soul, is created by God and God alone can give it.
• IF the cloning of humans ever comes to be a reality, I have nothing to fear, because the body is merely a vessel, God would provide the spark that is life…or would not provide it and cloning won't work. Period.
